Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

I’ve had Enyo since she was 7 weeks old she is now 2 1/2 years old. She is extremely high energy because of her being a working breed. Her birthday is 2/20/23 I met both of her parents her mom is a black patterdale terrier and her dad a brown Merle Australian shepherd. She needs a home with older kids if any 13+ would be my best suggestion who knows how to correct when she jumps or nips. She needs someone with time to train more and maybe a high energy dog companion. She’ll need a slow intro to another dog but she does like them but plays rough. She will be slow to get used to you she’s got severe anxiety with new people but she’s very affectionate once she gets comfortable. She is crate trained but is vocal about not being the biggest fan of it. She needs an enclosed backyard as well to be able to run. She’s not good on a leash and she’s hit and miss with cats because she’s nippy and doesn’t understand personal space. I don’t want to rehome but she got aggressive with my baby.

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Chewy is 10. He belonged to my little sister for 4 years. She got him when he was 8 weeks old. When she decided she didn’t want the responsibility anymore, she gave him to me and my daughter. We have had him for the last 6 years. Chewy is tiny but mighty. He has a huge personality and attitude. We love him dearly but he has a condition that has cost me quite a bit of money and will cost 3000 to correct. I would love to do it but the chances of him even surviving the procedure is small. I want to give him a fighting chance for the remainder of his life with someone who can love him and afford the on going cost to manage his condition.

Maggie

Rat Terrier

Female, Senior

Merrillville, IN

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Maggie was previously a friend's dog, who needed to be rehomed when her young child turned out to be allergic. Maggie stayed with her first family from 13 weeks old to just shy of 9 years old. We were told that she was a very nervous dog. She's been with us for about 10 months and we have realized she needs a family with more training and behavior experience. When extremely nervous, she has bitten. Also when nervous she tends to have small accidents (pooping and peeing). She likes to be pet on her terms, and can get nervous if someone tries to pet her too quickly. Also if she thinks she's in any trouble, she tends to get really nervous and evasive. She would likely do best in a quiet house, although she does like kids. She does well with other dogs and cats and seems most nervous around men. She does like to cuddle on her terms and enjoys chewing on bones. She can follow basic commands like sit and stay.

Size

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

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hi, I'm Violet! I was adopted when I was 12 weeks old, but was recently surrendered by my owner through no fault of my own. I'm a sweet, friendly, and goofy 1-year-old mutt, weighing 45 pounds. I love to cuddle and be around my people. My mom is a lab/beagle mix, and my dad is a border collie/lab mix. My foster says that I am a good girl, and I enjoy going for car rides! I'm housebroken and do well free roaming; I don't like crates. I need a home with older children since I can jump. A fenced-in yard is required. Although I love to walk, I pull and need leash training. I need companionship, so I also need a home where someone is home more. I tend to bolt when doors open, so a storm door and caution are essential. If you let me off leash, I will run....so no off leash for me. I'm spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. My adoption fee is $150, and I’m located in Crown Point, Indiana. ##2374629##
