Story
IvyDOB: 12/16/21Sex: FemaleWeight: mediumBreed: American Staffordshire terrierDate of Intake: 12/14/2022Ivy is a real good girl and she is crate trained but still has accidents in her crate, given she was an outside dog. It’s gonna take her some time and patience. Ivy loves to give hugs. She is thankful to be inside with people. Her energy level is medium, but she calms down quickly. Loves to get all the attention. She is treat motivated and she would learn quickly. She’s a really sweet girl and she loves squeaky toys and balls. She does like dogs not sure about cats.Ivy is a special and precious girl. She came to our shelter in mid December and she is just now becoming available. She has an internal medical issue with her female parts so we have been watching her closely and providing detailed care to help her heal until she was ready for her special family. Ivy will need a home where she can be a normal pup but maybe at a more relaxed level for a while while she continues to heal. She has had a vaginal drip since the day we brought her into the shelter. Her vaginal area is very irritated and for some reason will not heal. She has had exploratory surgery and many other tests but nothing has given us answers. The good news is that she has gotten better and the drip is very minimal. She is a unique case and no vet can pinpoint exactly what is wrong with her, however, she has survived the odds and we feel she is ready to be in a home and be loved. She will more than likely need medical attention for a while or life, so she will need someone who can reasonably provide for her financially. She is a little over a year old and we believe her to be a boston terrier mix? She is super sweet and loves all people and would more than likely be ok in a home with other pets.If you are interested in adopting this pet please visit www.blackfordcountyanimalshelter.com to complete our online adoption application.

Banjo is a typical hound that loves to be out and about. He is an active dog but not over the top. He has done ok when meeting other dogs but he can get a little possessive when toys come into the equation because he wants them all to himself. He has interest in cats in that he will chase them if he has the chance. Do not think he wishes them harm, but timid cats would not like the attention he would give them! He is 3 years old and at 52 lbs he is the perfect size This handsome guy will be sure to charm you. He can toss a squeaker toy like no other and seems to occupy his time. If playful dogs are your thing then come meet this boy.If you are interested in adopting this pet please visit www.blackfordcountyanimalshelter.com to complete our online adoption application.

Story
Ziggy is a 63lb terrier that is estimated to be around 6 years old. He is a very loveable guy and can be the best boy. He is one of our happiest pups despite his current situation. He would greet everyone that comes to the shelter if given the chance! He is not a good fit for cats and can be a bit dog selective so he will need a meet and greet for families that have pets already.If you are interested in adopting this pet please visit www.blackfordcountyanimalshelter.com to complete our online adoption application.

Story
Blue is a gorgeous American Staffordshire Terrier. He is approx. one year old and is a very friendly boy. He wants to greet all people and receive attention. He has also done very well with other dogs. He is not too interested in cats but just like all dogs he will need a proper introduction to cats in the home. He is currently suffering from allergies and we are working hard to figure out what he is allergic to so he is on medication. He is a good boy and enjoys his play time and enjoys walking and being with his people. Blue is stressed at the shelter and does not like being at the shelter in a kennel. He prefers to be with his people. His adoption fee is $125 and you can come meet him with an approved application.If you are interested in adopting this pet please visit www.blackfordcountyanimalshelter.com to complete our online adoption application.

Story
Meet Bruno! He is a little over 2 years old and as you can see, he is a gorgeous husky. He seems to be a pretty mellow boy but he still has husky behaviors. He has been with other dogs and did very well and he seems to be enjoy all people. He is currently on prozac to help him deal with the stresses of shelter life. If a husky is your breed, then please come meet this guy. When presented with a cat he really, really wanted to play but due to his size he might hurt one and not mean to. He would need training with cats.If you are interested in adopting this pet please visit www.blackfordcountyanimalshelter.com to complete our online adoption application.
