PLEASE READ: Thank you for your interest in one of our adoptable dogs! All dogs listed are still available. If interested, please complete our no obligation application. This can be found at www.waldosmuttleycrew.org. Select the Applications tab, then Adoption Application. THE APPLICATION MUST BE COMPLETED AND SUBMITTED BEFORE WE CAN START THE PROCESS. It can take up to a week to process an application. We are an all-volunteer rescue so please be patient. Our adoption area is limited to a 4 hour radius of Indianapolis. We try our best to provide all information in our bios. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask during the interview process. Some of our dogs have special requirements such as needs another dog in the home or requires a physical and permanent fenced yard. These requirements are not negotiable. Unless otherwise noted, we do not cat test our adoptable dogs. We also require that all pets in your household be spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccines and on a monthly heartworm/flea preventative. E-MAILS: We do not respond to e-mail inquiries without an application. We regret that we cannot respond to every e-mail unless you fill out an application. All the dogs we offer for adoption have been spayed/neutered, wormed and microchipped, are up-to-date on immunizations, have been tested for heartworm and are currently receiving a monthly preventative. If the dog had additional medical issues, those have also been addressed. Visit our website www.waldosmuttleycrew.org for more information and to complete an application. Aspen is an absolute sweetheart with people and is so gentle. When we got her, she wasn't really used to being pet and will still cringe a little with new people until she realizes they are friendly. Then she will lean right up against them to get ear scratches and chest rubs. Everyone who meets who talks about what a darling she is! We've worked with her on leash walking and she is a quick learner! She's so eager to please. She still needs gentle reminders not to pull (hounds just can't help themselves when they get a scent) but Aspen does so well! And she really enjoys walks! If you are a hound lover, you will go crazy over this girl! Her soft ears & the way she leans against you when you touch her willl melt your heart! Sadly, Aspen wasn't socialized with other dogs in her previous life and has no idea how to interact with them. She just doesn't understand their language. She gets overly stimulated by most dogs and just overwhelms them and herself. Aspen either needs to be an only dog (which would suit her just fine as she loves soaking up all the attention) or else possibly with a large, confident, playful male. She doesn't have the social skills needed to interact successfully with other dogs sadly; she never learned. Aspen's adoption fee is $175; she's spayed, microchipped and current on vaccinations as well as monthly heartworm/flea protection.

Two year old lab/husky mix Luther is ready for his "furever home" along with his best friend & soul mate, Dorothy! This pair had a pretty rough time in their past. They were confiscated from a drug house along with over 50 other dogs during a police raid. When we got them, they had to deal with drug withdrawal along with PTSD related to abuse & undersocialization. They have both come so very far. Luther now lets most people pet and cuddle with him; Dorothy still has trust issues but, given time & lots of peanut butter, she is now climbing in laps. Once Dorothy learns that you are safe, she just can't get enough attention and will stay in your lap for hours, snuggled up as close as she can get. This pair is also the source of much laughter for us as their antics during play are hilarious. Both are so mischievous! Dorothy delights in high speed chases and is incredibly fast; once she tires, Luther will pounce on her and they wrestle & play tug of war. They will need a large fenced in yard so that they can play & explore - two things they never got to do in their previous life. Dorothy & Luther are too scared to be in a home with children as they still have trust issues; they need calm, patient parents who will be able to give them all the love & attention they crave so that they can thrive & continue to learn that the world and people are safe. The adoption fee for this pair is $375; they are spayed/neutered, microchipped and current on vaccinations as well as monthly heartworm/flea prevention. Applications are available at waldosmuttleycrew.org . (Indianapolis area)

Story
WE LOVE GILLIGAN!!! And we are sure you will, too! He's an adorable 3 year old, 20 lb beagle who's all tail wags & wiggles! Gilligan is a happy go lucky boy who wakes up every day with a smile on his face; he's just a little ray of sunshine! He does have neurological issues caused by brain damage due to a slight skull deformity. This could have been a congenital issue or perhaps trauma when he was born. As a result, Gilligan is permanently puppy-like in his behaviors & demeanor. He's a bit clumsy and uncoordinated but still loves racing around the yard & wrestling with other dogs. He's mischievous and is fascinated by feet when you are walking; he's such a silly boy! Gilligan is getting the idea of potty training but it seems that he might need to always wear a diaper when indoors ... we just aren't sure yet. Because of his brain damage, he's a little slow ... but he's eager to please and so much wants to make his "people" happy! Gilligan loves to go on walks and is absolutely perfect in the car; he lies down & goes to sleep immediately. The car noise lulls him into a deep snooze. Gilligan's perfect Furever Home will have a fenced in yard, a playful dog companion and someone who is home with him most of the time. If you think Gilligan would be a good fit for you, please let us know! His adoption fee is $225; he is neutered, current on vaccinations, microchipped and on monthly heartworm / flea preventative. And he's also had his teeth cleaned! Applications are available at waldosmuttleycrew.org . (Indianapolis area)

Story
Macie is our "Good Time Girl"! She has the best smile!!! You'll just have to smile back!!! She's a 3 year old Dutch Shepherd/wire haired jack russell mix who weighs about 40 lbs. Macie is super with other dogs but her favorite playmates are males so she will want a playful boyfriend in her Forever Home. Macie was found as a stray on the streets of Indianapolis and was very undersocialized when we got her; she was so scared of people. But our girl has really blossomed and loves to get ear scratches & tummy rubs now! She does still get anxious in new situations so having a confident "boyfriend" around will help her to feel safe. Macie will need a fenced in yard and, because she still has some anxiety, homes with children under 12 years old would be too stressful for her. If you'd like to meet her, applications can be found at waldosmuttleycrew.org . Macie's adoption fee is $275; she's spayed, microchipped and current on vaccinations & heartworm/flea preventative. We have provided her with a ProHeart 12 injection to cover a years worth of heartworm preventative so however many months are left will be added to the adoption fee. (Indianapolis area)

Story
CASSIDY: 1 YEAR OLD NORFOLK TERRIER / LAB MIX FEMALE; 30 LBS BONDED PAIR WITH LASZLO Meet our girl who is full of gumption .... CASSIDY!!! She is the life of the party and everyone's favorite party girl!!! Whenever there is play time going on, she is in the middle of it! She's just happy-go-lucky and loves life and it shows; she never has a bad day! Cassidy is as happy to make new friends with dogs as she is people; she has never met a stranger. This is what makes her such a perfect BFF for timid Laszlo; he watches her jump right into the mix, having fun, and realizes that the world & people are safe. These two need a fenced in yard for plenty of running room as they are constantly chasing & wrestling. But once the antics are through, Cassidy snuggles right in for attention. Because Laszlo is still fearful, we do not recommend a home with children under 16. The adoption fee for the pair is $400; both are spayed, microchipped and current on vaccinations as well as heartworm / flea preventative. Applications are available at waldosmuttleycrew.org .
