Story
Muffin is a great dog! She was a great addition to the family but with me and my wife’s jobs it’s hard to keep up with her! I would love for her to go to a caring and loving family as she is a very playful and loving dog! Very energetic and loves to play! She is slightly potty trained and does go outside but will occasionally go in the house especially when scared or startled. She is an anxious dogs at times due to the pound she was located but she listens very well to simple commands. She sits when there is a treat and she comes to you when you whistle. Her hair is very fluffy especially when you let it grow. Shots are pretty up to date and she will be 1 years old May 11, 2026! If any other questions please feel free to contact me!

Luna

American Staffordshire Terrier Mutt

Female, Adult
Griffith, IN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Luna is a very friendly, very attention seeking loving dog who needs someone who can be with her to keep her company so she doesnt get into trouble. She loves to eat anything so no worries about a picky eater. She does get along with other dogs but she does resource guard especially at first until she gets use to them, so being a single dog wouldnt be a bad thing. She isnt that bad with people after you earn her trust but she's not so great if you try and take something out of her mouth. She loves to play tug o war and will be your sleeping buddy/heater. We just really need to find someone who can dedicate time to just her.

Story
Tofu came into my life while I was living at home, and due to a recent move and changes in my family’s ability to care for her, I’m looking for a new home where she can truly thrive. This decision was not made lightly and comes from wanting the best possible future for her.Tofu is a sweet, affectionate dog who loves people and enjoys cuddling and spending time close to her humans. She bonds strongly with her person and does best in a calm, stable environment. She would be happiest as the only dog in the home, as she does not do well with other dogs.She needs a securely fenced yard where she can safely play and burn off energy. An experienced, patient owner who understands dog boundaries and can give her consistent love and structure would be ideal.This is a heartbreaking decision, but my hope is to find Tofu a home where she feels safe, loved, and supported for the rest of her life.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
I brought her home from a breeder, and she is just 1 year old. Shes still very young, playful, and full of personality. Due to unexpected life changes and facing homelessness, I want to make sure she goes to a safe, stable home where she can be loved and cared for the way she deserves. She is very sweet, whimsical, and affectionate. She absolutely loves to cuddle and be close to her person. She enjoys attention, companionship, and being part of the family. She has a gentle, loving nature and would do great in a home where she gets lots of love, patience, and time together.

Nyla

Mastiff German Shepherd Dog

Female, Young
Gary, IN
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Nyla! She is a sweet, shy, gentle girl who survived a very rough start. Nyla came from a severely neglected litter and was rescued malnourished, scared, and very weak. Today she is calm, intelligent, and loving once she feels safe. She softly licks your hand, enjoys head scratches, and gets along well with other dogs. She loves to sniff and explore and would thrive with a family who enjoys walks or outdoor time. Because of early food scarcity, she may show light resource guarding (only gentle growls). She can also jump a 4-ft fence, so she must be on leash outdoors unless in a secure dog park or designated off-leash area. Nyla is not high energy but needs more attention, structure, and exercise than my parents can provide. She is still growing and has so much potential. Requirements: reference check, vet verification, and home check. Nyla deserves a patient, loving forever home.
