Story
Meet S`mores!This cutie was dumped outside of our shelter after hours with three cats. Thankfully they were all found safely by staff (others have not been so lucky). Her three cat-mates have been transferred to Humane Indiana during our crisis.S`more spent a brief period in foster while our power was out. Here`s what her foster fam had to say, `She’s been a really sweet, calm dog. She likes to play. She pulls on leash but doesn’t react when walking by other dogs. She wants to approach all people for pets. She only had one indoor accident so I’d say she’s house trained. She took a lot of crap from my overly hyper adolescent puppy.She loves being pet and cuddling. She appears to be crate trained, goes in easily and sometimes on her own. The only behavior we’re monitoring to determine if this can continue to be a good fit, she appears to resource guard. She collected a lot of toys/bones and growls when our other dog gets too close. Nothing aggressive in the first day but we are monitoring the situation and feeding at separate times.`FemaleYoung Adult 40ish lbs

Story
Meet Bidzil!Bidzil is a goofy guy, he greets dogs well, but is over it after a minute. He would do best with a co-exister or solo.He loves people of all ages! He’s very wiggly and maybe not the smartest kid in class…He would thrive on a great school routine and some extra cuddles!! He also came in on the super skinny side and has little ways to go before looking healthy again so he gets 3 feeds a day.Bidzil came in with vertebrae on his tail exposed. He needs daily tail wrap changes and antibiotics and pain meds given. He will still likely need his tail amputated.He loves to play!! No cats or small animals, please.If you are interested in fostering or adopting Bidzil, please stop by the shelter during our typical operating hours 11-4MaleBoxer mix?33 lbs currently (underweight)---------------------------------------------------Interested in adopting?

Jamie’s human mom died, family isn’t able to care for him. Trying to keep him from going to a shelter Currently living in a foster home with 3 other large dogs.He wants a home w/ love, affection.Jamei’s original home had two small dogs and a cat.Loves car rides, has a few stuffies that he likes to play with.He’s not treat motivated, a piece of people food is his favorite. Notice that he waits for the other dogs to get their treat before he takes his.Wants to hear what a “good boy”, he is.Will bark when someone comes on the property to let you know.Totally potty trained, working on the leash walking, He has stopped rushing the door . He knows basic commands. Loves to sleep in the bed with you if you allow it. As far as our knowledge he’s never been crated.Diet needs are: Vet believes that he may have a grain /chicken allergy. Just switched foods to salmon and sweet potato from Costco. All itching has stopped.

Story
Meet Apollo!This very good boy was picked up by our Animal Control Officer after he was abandoned in a crate. He takes treats nicely and walks well on leash. He’s a chatty boy who likes to tell you all his opinions, then smother you with kisses.He is covered in pressure sores, so he is looking for a comfy place to heal and be loved.He recently went on a Dog Day Out with a couple of our volunteers. Here`s what they had to say, `Apollo! He started out a bit nervous, which was completely understandable given the difficult circumstances he had been in, but it was obvious that his true nature was trusting and sweet, and it didn`t take long for us to earn his trust and see his personality blossom! He went from being too nervous to get into the car on his own, take treats, drink water, or jump up on the bench with us, to doing all of those things with confidence!He was also great with two little boys who gave him pets and was not at all reactive to passing dogs or people.He`s more than ready for a home filled with nothing but love and affection!`Male2-3 years66 lbs---------------------------------------------------Interested in adopting?
