Story
Ginger! An adorable 9 month old, 30ish lbs lab mix. Meet this ultra-sweet, timid girl who is currently learning a brand-new skill: how to just be a puppy! 🥰 The world can feel a little big and scary to her right now, but once she trusts her human, she relies on them completely for comfort and love. Not a mean bone in her. 🏡 Her Dream Home: 🐾 A Confident Dog Sibling: She does amazing with another stable pup to show her the ropes! 🤫 A "Chill" Environment: A quiet, low-traffic home helps her feel safe from loud, abrupt noises. 🌲 Outdoor Lovers: She absolutely loves being outside! 🚽 Potty Trained: She seems house-trained and keeps her crate perfectly clean. Because she spooks easily and is still building her confidence around strangers, kids, and cats are unknown, she needs a patient family ready to let her blossom at her own pace. Think your quiet home is the perfect sanctuary for this sweet soul? Apply to adopt her today! 💖

Story
Meet Lahani 🐾💕 Lahani is a sweet, gentle young mama who has come so far since coming into foster care. Her vet estimates her to be around 2 years old. She was found by animal control very underweight and abandoned in an alley way with her six puppies when they were only about two weeks old. After caring for her babies and being a rockstar mama, Lahani is ready to find a loving family of her own. Application open, with her adoption pending her spay surgery September 9th! Lahani has been with her foster family for about a month and has been such a joy to have around. She is potty trained, knows her basic commands, and is incredibly eager to please. Praise is her favorite reward, which makes her a very willing and easy-to-train girl. She has also shown excellent recall in a fenced yard. She walks nicely on a leash and is continuing to build her confidence and experience out in the world. Like many young dogs, she can get excited when she spots another dog or animal and may want to move toward them, but with continued exposure and positive guidance, she is learning how to stay focused on her person. Lahani does well with other dogs with proper introductions and has been wonderful with her foster family's large dog. She initially showed interest in chasing the resident cats, but that interest has already been decreasing. With slow, proper introductions and continued supervision, she may be able to live successfully with cats. And when the day is done? Lahani is happiest curled up beside you on the couch with her head resting in your lap. ❤️ She is a true cuddle bug who loves being close to her people. She has also been fostered in a home with a toddler and has been wonderfully gentle, patient, and tolerant with children. Lahani is looking for a family who will continue helping her learn, give her plenty of love and positive reinforcement, and let her be the affectionate companion she is becoming. If you're looking for a sweet, loyal girl who is eager to please and wants nothing more than to be by your side, Lahani may be your girl. 🐶💕

Story
Get your dog a dog! 🐶🐶 Meet Hardy, an 8-month-old, 8.5 lb Morkie who has decided humans are still a little suspicious…but dogs? Dogs are his people. Hardy absolutely loves other dogs and relies on them for comfort, confidence, and reassurance as he learns that humans aren’t quite as scary as he currently believes. Because of that, Hardy must have another confident dog (or dogs) in his new home, and a fenced yard is required. He may not choose you as his best friend on day one, but he’ll happily start with your dog. Then, with patience, time, and plenty of good examples, you can work your way onto the approved-humans list. Fostered in Munster, Indiana. Apply to adopt : www.dogs4u.org
