Story

Our family has had Mlinzi for about 2.5 years. My husband was deployed to Kenya, Africa for a year and there was a litter of puppies born on the airfield they were patrolling. Him and some of the other guys became attached to them and were able to have them rescued and brought back to the United States. Our children were so excited to have her apart of our family. However, she has become aggressive with children and other animals. She cannot live with either. She is a sweet dog and we love her so much, but she is too anxious and needs to be in a calm home with adults. We have three children and lots of other pets in our neighborhood making it difficult and unsafe to have company at our home, and for her to be around our own or other children.

Story

Rousy is a 7-8 yr old female spayed Dogo that we rescued out of a horrific hoarding situation in TX. Out of 20 dogs 8 were still alive by the time we got to them. Rousey was near death due to starvation and heartworm positive. My husband and I are both veterinarians. After a lot of nursing care as well as heartworm treatment she’s doing great. We have 6 dogs ourselves as well as a rescue Pittie that needs a home. Rousey is my heart dog and I would keep her if I could. Her and my dominant Presa Canario have gotten into fights and cannot be together. Rousey gets along with the rest of our pack which are German Shorthair pointers both males and females. So it’s only dominant females that she cannot be with. She’s phenomenal with kids! We live in Indiana but we have her currently at a board and train in St. Louis, MO

Story

Meet Shiloh!Shiloh is a 52lb, 3-year-old, Boxer mix who is looking for a second chance through absolutely no fault of her own. She was previously with us last year and became very urgent due to the stress of being in a kennel environment. Now she’s back, and we’re hoping to find her a loving home where she can relax, feel secure, and truly be herself.According to her previous owner, Shiloh is house trained and crate trained, and she did well living with children of all ages. She has a medium-to-high energy level, so she’ll love a family who enjoys playtime, walks, and keeping her busy. Speaking of playtime, Shiloh LOVES toys and is always ready for some fun!Shiloh is also a total people-lover. She enjoys being close to her humans and would happily be your companion, whether you’re out having an adventure or relaxing together at home. ??When it comes to other dogs, Shiloh can be dog selective, so slow, thoughtful introductions and the right canine match will be important. Her kennel stress can make shelter life especially difficult for her, which means she truly needs someone who will give her time, patience, and the chance to decompress outside of the shelter environment.If you’re looking for a fun-loving, affectionate girl who will adore being part of your family, Shiloh may be the one for you! She’s ready for the fresh start she deserves. ????We do all adoptions with approved applicants by appointment only. If you are interested in adopting, please use the link below to fill out the application. Once we receive that back, then we can schedule you a meeting with the animal you are interested in.https://form.jotform.com/261544309434052

Josie

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 1 yr 7 mos

Franklin, IN

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Story

Meet Josie! ?? Josie is a 1.5-year-old, 54-pound American Pit Bull Terrier who is looking for a patient family willing to give her the time and space she needs to feel comfortable. Josie came to us as a stray, so we don`t know her history with children or other animals. She can be nervous in new situations, but once she has room to settle in and realize she`s safe, her personality begins to shine. She enjoys belly rubs, toys, and treats, and her curious nose is always hard at work sniffing and figuring out the world around her!Josie is a high-energy girl who is still very unsure of the other dogs around her, especially when walking through the kennel and in play yards. Because of this, we are looking for a home where she can focus on building confidence and learning to trust her people. With patience, understanding, and plenty of positive experiences, we think Josie has the potential to become an amazing companion. If you`re looking for a sweet, curious girl to grow alongside, come meet Josie!We do all adoptions with approved applicants by appointment only. If you are interested in adopting, please use the link below to fill out the application. Once we receive that back, then we can schedule you a meeting with the animal you are interested in.https://form.jotform.com/261544309434052
