Story

Tornado is a 69-pound adult dog whose name fits her playful spirit, though her affectionate side may be the real force of nature. Once she feels comfortable, she approaches willingly for pets, enjoys affection all over, and handles new friends with sweetness and ease. She even knows “sit” and “shake,” proving that this clever girl already has some lovely manners beneath all that enthusiasm.Give Tornado a toy and she is ready to play. She would love a home where she can enjoy games, stretch her legs once she is feeling her best, and then settle in with people who make her feel safe. Tornado has weathered uncertainty, but she has not lost her joyful spark. The family who welcomes her will be giving this deserving girl a fresh start while gaining a bright, playful companion of their own.All adoptions include support from our adoption team to ensure a smooth transition from the shelter to your home. Adopted pets are vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed/neutered before leaving the shelter`s care. To view our current available animals, please visit: https://indy.gov/activity/adopt-a-pet

Story

This animal is staying in a foster home and is not at the shelter. Please put in an inquiry and an adoption counselor will contact you with the next steps.Meet Bruno! This guy loves hard and is ready to be your best friend! He has done well with his foster siblings (other pups!) but does need to be separated to feed, as he prefers to clean his bowl! Bruno would benefit from having a yard or walks (or even Sniffspots!) as his energy level does require daily exercise but after he gets his zoomies he`s more than happy to scoot his way into your personal space for lots of cuddles and affection. His foster has described him as the perfect companion, who`s ready to find his person, or people! Adoptions are free and include support from our adoption team to ensure a smooth transition from the shelter to your home. Adopted pets are vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed/neutered before leaving with you. To view our current available animals, please visit: https://indy.gov/activity/adopt-a-pet.

BUBBY

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 4 yrs 3 mos

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Story

Bubby is the kind of dog who quietly steals your heart. Life in the shelter can feel overwhelming for him, but once he`s away from the noise, you discover a gentle, affectionate soul who simply wants to be close to someone he trusts. He`ll happily curl up beside you, climb into your lap for comfort, and follow you from room to room like he`s hoping you`ve been friends all along. One of his sweetest habits is relaxing into a contented little `smile,` tongue peeking out, as he enjoys the company of someone who`s made him feel safe. Bubby is patient, easy to handle, and takes treats with the softest manners. He isn`t worried about toys or keeping himself busy. He`s much more interested in sharing quiet moments with his favorite person. He appears to be around 3 to 4 years old and is being treated for fleas. He also has a few minor skin issues and some dental tartar, but what stands out most is his kind heart. Bubby is looking for a home where he can leave the stress of shelter life behind and finally relax into the happy, loving companion he`s ready to be. This animal is staying in a foster home and is not at the shelter. Please put in an inquiry and an adoption counselor will contact you with the next steps.All adoptions include support from our adoption team to ensure a smooth transition from the shelter to your home. Adopted pets are vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed/neutered before leaving the shelter`s care. To view our current available animals, please visit: https://indy.gov/activity/adopt-a-pet
