Story
This is Titan and he is a very very good dog, honestly the best dog I've ever had. It really pains me to put him up from rehoming but we found out he has allergies that require a special diets and/or constant meds that we just can't afford. He is very allergic to cats, which we had before we adopted him and didn't know of his condition until afterwards as he had no known medical info at the time. He's also allergic to yeast, corn, and dairy. The issues are he can't eat anything with his allergens which is difficult to maintain with small children. His nails are very long right now as he will not under any circumstances allow us to clip them and groomers will no longer take him. Other than shots and nail clippings though he is a very gentle giant, really good with our kids, and good with the cat as well. He is a one of a kind dog but requires and deserves a home that will be able to cater to his medical conditions properly and that just isn't our home.

Story
Buttercup I took in sight unseen last November. I have been trying to find her a home periodically because she is so big. I have physical issues and can’t get out and walk her. She needs someone who will walk and play with her and provide stimulation. She needs another dog also. She has learned to fetch a ball. Likes her treats and does eat some human food. Plays well with my other dogs. I can’t always get her to not jump up. Very friendly. Sometimes she feels needy and wants to climb in your lap. I can’t give her what she needs. Once someone took her and brought her back in a week. Said she wouldn’t eat etc. I think they were not nice. So I haven’t tried to rehome her again until now. I have had to move for financial issues and now live in a 900 sq foot house with my 2 small dogs and buttercup. She needs someone who can love her and work with her to trust and love them.

Story
We got Diesel from the Humane Society in Lafayette, IN. He is a very active and friendly dog. There has been instances of him being aggressive toward my children when food is involved. We have separated his food area by gates but it's hard to constantly contain the food the children have when they are walking around the house. He is a really good dog and is good around the children without food interfering. He will need someone a little more active. We also have a cat that he liked to chase for the first few days but after that he started leaving the cat alone.

Jeffrey is still available for adoption! Jeff is a 2-year-old Poodle mix. This friendly guy is house trained and gets along great with other dogs, kids, and even cats. He’s on special food that costs about $200 a month, but his loving companionship is priceless. If you’re looking for a dog who’s never met a stranger, Jeffrey’s your perfect match!

Story
Meet Bruce! Bruce is around 4 years old and is a pit/boxer mix. This playful and energetic pup is completely house trained—never has an accident! He’s also a zoomies expert, and loves to spend his time sprinting outside. Bruce was surrendered with another dog, but we are unsure how he does with cats and he would prefer a home without young kids. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, reliable companion, Bruce is ready to make your home his own!
