Nala

Mixed Breed (Large)

Female, 6 yrs 8 mos

Michigan City, IN

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

We're always saying that Nala is like a bright ray of sunshine because she is the happiest, most joyful good girl. Nala will spot you from across the lawn and will go into immediate full-body wiggles because she is so thrilled to see you. Just imagine for a second the over-the-moon greetings you would get when you came home from work if you adopted Nala. She has turned all of our not-so-good days into good days just by hanging out with her. As far as other dog friends go, Nala has been doing quite well in her playgroups! We've seen her with super playful dogs who just want to wrestle and be all energetic. We've also seen her on walkies with dogs who are more relaxed and prefer to have similar relaxed interactions and she followed their lead. We always suggest a slow, proper introduction between any two dogs, but we've seen her do well this way! Nala has done well with kiddos about 8ish and up. She loves car rides and is always looking out the window. She's such a sweetheart. Nala's ideal family would be one where she can join them for daily walks. She would also love to play fetch with tennis balls because that makes her so happy! She is the best fetcher ever! She also loves sniffing through snufflemats. Nala is a treat-motivated gal! Oh, and another amazing thing about her is that she takes treats so gently. She is about six and a half years old and is spayed.

Sandy

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 2 yrs 1 mo

Michigan City, IN

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Where do we even start with how awesome Sandy is? Well, first of all, if you are outdoorsy, Sandy would be perfect for you. She isn't afraid of a little mud on her paws or to splash through creeks! She loves nature and would be the best furry companion to accompany you. And, oh yeah! She's done awesome when she sees other dogs! Speaking of other dogs, Sandy has enjoyed her time with other dogs who are active and love to run like she does. She matches the levels of the other dogs and works hard to get the shyer dogs to play and interact. When it is time to chill with her furry friends, Sandy finds a shade tree or a picnic bench to hang out under. Sandy's ideal furry companion would be a pup who can be rough-and-tumble but also easy-going once they have played. She quite possibly has the best entire-body wiggles when she sees you. She is over the moon to spend time with people and she would be the most loving family dog. She's a gentle and calm darling. She's semi-reserved upon meeting new people, but she takes treats so politely! Once she has spent a few minutes getting to know you, she starts to shine and moves in for affection and snuggle-time. She doesn't miss an opportunity to show love and is always welcoming of someone petting her. She truly seems to be happiest being around people. We think she will be such a beautiful addition to a very lucky home. We cannot say enough good things about Sandy girl. Sandy is about one and a half years old and is spayed.

Luna

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 1 yr 10 mos

Michigan City, IN

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

We don't even know where to start with telling you about Luna because this girl is that awesome! She loves everyone! The reason she is smiling in all her pictures is because she is the happiest girl ever! And her snorts! She runs around the dog park sniffing and snorting and she is just the cutest in the whole world. Luna has lived with other dog friends before! Depending on your resident pup, maybe they would get along nicely! She loves receiving all the attention that respectful, sturdy kiddos offer. She would be the best fursister to them. We're not sure what she thinks about kitties. She has done quite well in the crate and doesn't cause any commotion when left alone. Luna also does great with being house-trained! She knows how to sit, lay down, and take treats nicely. We are teaching her how to walk politely on a leash; she seems to do best when harnessed. Going for walks, snuggling, and riding shotgun next to you in the car are a few of her favorite things to do. Luna brightens up every room she is in. Her tail wags nonstop and she just wants someone to pet her and tell her she is pretty. Luna is a little over one and a half years old and is spayed.

Husky Golden Retriever

Female, 7 mos

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

At seven months old, adoptable Millie is amazingly well-behaved and is so smart! She knows how to sit, stay, come, shake, spin, leave it, and lay down. Millie's foster mom says that she picks up on new behaviors so quickly and can really learn anything anyone is willing to teach her. Not only is Millie a straight A student, but she has done totally awesome with all of her furry foster-siblings...dogs, cats, and bunnies! Millie would love to meet you a time or two before you get to the move-in-together stage. She takes time to trust new people, especially men, but once she trusts someone, she fully trusts them; please give her time to get to know you. Because Millie can be fearful, we would love to find an adopter for her who has experience with helping pups like her become more confident. She's done great with being house-trained in her foster home. She's just a gem of a puppy. She's spayed, so call us at 219-872-4499 to adopt Millie! She is currently in a foster home.

Jojo

Pug Beagle

Male, 4 yrs 3 mos

Michigan City, IN

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Jojo! He is 30-pounds of energetic happiness! When he is excited, he hops and gallops around like he is the happiest boy ever! We just know he is going to be the most fun dog ever in a home once he settles. He isn't necessarily a pup who loves to play fetch and chase toys, but as long as he has a person to play with and entertain, he's good to go! Since Jojo can get excited, we think he'd do best with an adopter who wants to be able to play but then is also able to help him relax and calm down; maybe with some enrichment puzzles! In his previous home, he did well with being house-trained and crate-trained, too! He knows how to sit, come, stay, and lay down! We are working with him on polite leash-walking! Since he is so intelligent, we know he can learn quite quickly! We're also teaching him to take treats gently and how to share. If you are considering adopting Jojo, we ask that you continue to work on helping him feel comfortable with people being around his food (in a structured manner in order to set him up for success!). Jojo is such a fast learner, though. Just a quick teaching session and he catches on. Be a leader that he can follow and we see lots of success for him! Jojo has been doing great in his dog playgroups. He also has lived with a cat before and was a good furbrother to her. We think he'd be the coolest furbrother to teenagers and older. Going for walks, car rides, and running are a few things he loves to do. A quiet home with interactive activity is what he is looking for, if that makes sense! A little bit of both worlds is what we think would be best for him. He is about four years old and is neutered and he recently had a dental done!
