Story
Remi is such a lovable, playful, good dog. I got divorced and had to move into an apartment. He needs a fenced in yard to run. He is a minature Aussie, blue eyes and considered a mural color. He doesn’t get along with dogs. But, everything else is fine. He will come with his toys, bed, treats. He is not great on a leash but getting there. He loves a car ride and to play in a lake edge. I hate getting rehoming him but, it is best for him. He is 3 years old. I live in Evansville, In. If you have other questions please ask. He knows some commands. He rings a hanging bell to go outside to potty.

Cooper is a fun loving dog that loves people and playing. He also loves being outside and running around. He is house trained and will scratch at the door when he needs to go out. He plays well with other dogs, but has never been around cats before. We also have a crate, toys and treats that you can have, also.

NASA needs an immediate foster 🙏🏼 Look at this chunky hippo 😍 NASA is in need of a foster home urgently as his current foster is not able to foster him any longer due to no fault of his own. NASA is a very sweet wiggly boy. He is dog friendly but not cat friendly at this time. He has only seen an outdoor kitty and attempted to chase it. NASA had dental work and is supposed to be get his first injection for heartworm treatment on 10/21. He needs somewhere calm during his treatment. He can be fostered or foster to adopted!

Story
Hello there, I'm Azora, a spirited 3-year-old Pit Mix with a heart full of love and a zest for life! I'm ready to bring a whole lot of joy and companionship into your life. I've got energy to spare and a playful spirit that's infectious! Whether it's a game of fetch, a run in the park, or some exciting outdoor activities, count me in. I'm ready to be your active partner, joining you on adventures and keeping the good times rolling. My walker described me as a very friendly and sweet girl, and I wear that title proudly! I'm a people-lover through and through, and I can't wait to be your loyal and affectionate companion. My charming smile and expressive ears are just a glimpse of the warmth I'll bring into your life. I'll be honest - I can get a bit reactive around other dogs, so it's important to introduce me to new furry friends with care. My walker noted that I might do better with some space from other dogs. A bit of patience and gradual socialization might be the key to helping me feel more comfortable around my four-legged counterparts. I am heartworm positive but the treatment for that if provided by the shelter once I'm adopted. You just have to make sure you have time to bring me in for two sperate treatments. The adoption staff can go over that with you in more detail. I'm looking for a loving and patient home where my energy and affection will be cherished. While I might need some extra guidance when it comes to interacting with other dogs, I promise to shower you with love and companionship. If you're willing to work with me, I'll be a loyal and devoted friend for life.

Story
I look like a dog but I'm also part alligator. I luuurve the water, and whenever you try to give me lovins, I have perfected my gator roll belly flop. Take me to the lake or on the boat with you! I am the BIGGEST sweetheart you will ever meet - I do not know a stranger and instantly treat every person I meet like a lifelong best friend. I love to snuggle and show affection, but love going for walks, chasing toys, and enjoying adventures just as much. I have been at the shelter for 6 long months - could you be my forever family?
