Story
Jude — named after the song, because this boy is destined for a better, brighter chapter. 📖 🤩Jude is a large, solid-black, incredibly striking German Shepherd with all the qualities that make the breed so special. He’s a worker, he’s wicked smart, and he carries himself with the quiet dignity of a dog who was bred with intention and care.🏅🏆 Unfortunately, he simply ended up in the wrong hands. Jude’s past is heartbreaking, but his future is wide open.❤️‍🩹 🫥He was found chained outside to a tree, while his sisters were locked alone inside the house. They were essentially left for dead. 💔Jude suffered a severe flea infestation and a painful ear infection, and his beautiful coat is still healing from months of neglect. But even in rough shape, you can already see the handsome dog he’s becoming — and once he’s fully recovered, he is going to be absolutely stunning.🎩🌟 ⏳Despite everything he’s endured, Jude’s spirit is intact. He wants to work, to learn, to bond deeply with his person. With patience, training, and love, he will be the kind of partner Shepherd people dream about. 🖊️If you’re ready to help Jude write the next verse of his story — one filled with safety, purpose, and devotion — he’s ready to meet you.🖤 🏡 http://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/TIP-A-517

Story
✈️🥔Tate is a little dog with big main-character energy. He is not your quiet, knitting-with-tea companion. 🫖 Nope. Tater is more “teenage girl bestie” than “cute little old lady lap dog.”🔋 🚀This boy can jump on tables, clear gates, launch himself from your arms, and achieve actual liftoff. 💙Tater does have some separation anxiety (he loves his people HARD), but the good news? 🛋️He’s house trained, loves to snuggle, and prefers cozy spots like under his cot or tucked beneath the meet-and-greet couch like a tiny cave goblin.🙈 Seriously though—Tater will make someone an awesome little dog. Give him activity, patience, and maybe a sense of humor, and you’ll have a loyal, hilarious BFF. 👯 🏡 http://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/TIP-A-522

Story
💘👋🏻Hi, I’m Romeo! I’m young, spunky, and professionally trained in the art of stealing hearts. 💞 My hobbies include being extremely funny, zooming for no reason, and showering hoomans with my kisses 💋 🚿 💌I’m a certified lover boy💙and I take my job very seriously. If you sit down, I will climb on you. If you stand up, I will lean into you. If you look into my dreamy eyes? Boom. Face kisses. You’ve been warned. 🥷 🎾I’m silly, playful, goofy, affectionate, and fully convinced I am the love of your life. My name is Romeo because I *will* steal your heart—and probably your personal space too.🧲 Ready to fall in love? I already have. 💕🐶 🏡 http://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/TIP-A-533

American Staffordshire Terrier

Tipton, IN
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
🩶🎩Sarge is a handsome fella with a heart as big as his adorable head tilt. 💋This sweet gentleman may be shy at first, but give him a little time and patience, and you’ll soon discover a deeply loyal, affectionate friend who loves to share gentle face kisses and quiet moments by your side. ☯️Sarge is the perfect mix of independence and devotion — he enjoys exploring the yard on his own, but if you call him inside, he listens right away (he’s very well-mannered and fully potty trained!). Volunteers say he’s a “good boy” through and through — and when you tell him that, he’ll cock his head to the side like he really understands every word.🥹 ☮️Sarge would thrive in a calm, loving home where he can take his time to trust and where someone appreciates the quiet, steadfast love only a senior dog can give. Once he decides you’re his person, you’ll have a loyal companion for life. 💙🛋️ 🏡Adopt sweet Sarge — he’s ready to love you, in his own special way. new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/TIP-A-520

Story
🐾 Meet Gravy – Energetic, Affectionate, and Ready for a Home Gravy is a young, loving, high‑energy husky mix looking for an active home. His current family adopted him as a puppy, but due to major changes in their household and increased caregiving needs, they can no longer give him the time and structure he requires. They want him to have the active, engaged life he deserves. Gravy thrives on interaction. He loves running laps in the yard, playing soccer, and being involved in whatever his humans are doing. His energy can come across as clinginess, but he simply needs regular exercise and mental stimulation. He’s very smart, eager to learn, and unusually food‑motivated for a husky. A trainer confirmed he has strong potential with consistent, positive training. Gravy would do best with someone who enjoys an active lifestyle and wants a loyal, people‑focused companion. If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate “buddy” dog, Gravy may be the perfect match
