Story
Ranger will turn 4 in September 2026. He completed professional training with Sit Means Sit, where he holds a lifetime membership and has access to infinite group classes, which we would transfer over to the new owner. He is extremely intelligent. We live on a farm with approx. 40 chickens and ducks, as well as two ferrets, have never shown aggression towards any of our farm animals. He is crate-trained and can be left out when unattended at home. Ranger is fiercely loyal to his family and devoted to protecting his home. He knows the commands of place, sit, come, go to bed, leave it, heel, and round them up (when herding our animals). He is full of energy and loves being outdoors, especially in the snow. Ranger needs to be in a home without cats, and we are unsure whether he gets along with other dogs. He would do best in a calm home with an owner who doesn't mind being snuggled at all hours of the day.

Story
Buddy has been a lifelong companion to his owner, but she has needed to go into a nursing facility and we do not have the ability to house Buddy ourselves. He is a great, mild mannered dog who loves to play. He loves to go on walks and be your best friend. He would love a forever home where he could roam in the back yard and get a lot of attention.

Story
My husband is a contractor and was working on a rental home in August of 2025. He heard a dog crying and noted that the renters had a puppy locked in a bathroom for two days with no food, no water, and no toys whatsoever. My husband felt so bad for the puppy and the conditions he was living in, that he offered the owner’s $50 for him. They gladly accepted and he has been with us since then. We named him Henry and had him neutered in January 2026. The vet says he is just shy of 1 year old. We have three cats and Henry cannot seem to leave them alone, chases them and tries to play with them but it creates tension in our small home. We honestly don’t have the time for Henry, regretfully.

Story
I rescued brownie from an elderly couple who no could longer care for her. She was over 65 pounds when I got her. We got her on diet and exercise and now she’s 29 pounds! I work at an animal hospital so she is well taken care of, bloodwork, vaccines, heartworm free. Everything looks good! She is super sweet and loves stuffed animals. She does have a cherry eye, which with her age I didnt feel the need to put her under anesthesia to get it removed she does just fine with it. If you have any questions I will answer :)

LuLu

Beagle Hound (Unknown Type)

Female, Adult
Kokomo, IN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
LuLu is an 8-year-old Beagle/Hound mix who’s a total pro at family life. She’s spent the last four years living with cats and the last two years with her dog sister, Dixie, so she’s very well-socialized. She’s also been around kids of all ages and is a complete sweetheart with them. LuLu is a professional snuggler who loves to burrow under blankets, but she still has that classic hound energy—she’ll need a home with a fence and a family who can take her on regular walks (even though she likes to pull a bit when she finds a good scent!). She’s a typical hound who will definitely raid the trash if she gets the chance, but she makes up for it by being the most loyal, loving companion you could ask for
