Story
Are you looking for a walking/hiking partner? A travel companion? Someone to snuggle on the couch with after a long day and watch TV? Well your search is over! Let me introduce myself . I'm Barney a 30 pound one year old Jack Russell mix. I'm friendly with other dogs and wouldn't mind a fursibling to play with. I'm housebroken and sit nice for treats. I'm still working on controlling my youthful exuberance so I'd do best with older children. Did I mention how handsome I am? I'm ready to find my furever family!

Story
Meet Nugget! This lovable 3-year-old Shepherd mix is looking for his forever home. Nugget is a friendly, social pup who enjoys greeting everyone he meets with a wagging tail and a happy spirit! Energetic and playful, he would thrive in a home with an active family that loves outdoor adventures and fun activities. Treats are his favorite way to connect—he’s incredibly treat-motivated and will happily sit on command or even catch treats mid-air! Nugget has been known to climb fences, so a secure yard would be the perfect fit for him. He’s been keeping his kennel tidy, which suggests he may be potty trained. Nugget has done well with other dogs and could potentially go home with another dog if it`s a good match. Nugget is ready to bring his love and energy into a new home—could it be yours?

Shortcake

Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) Dachshund

Female, 2 yrs 2 mos
Valparaiso, IN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats,
Story
Meet Shortcake! This sweet 2-year-old Dachshund/Pit mix is ready for her forever home. When she first arrived, Shortcake had a broken leg, but after some TLC, she’s healing beautifully. She may be a little shy and hesitant when meeting new people, but once she feels comfortable, she’s incredibly loving and loyal. Shortcake adores belly rubs and loves playing with her toys when she’s not cuddling up. She’s well-behaved and would thrive in a calm, quiet home where she can enjoy quality time with her future best friend. At this time, we think Shortcake would prefer to be the only pet in the household. After everything she’s been through, she absolutely deserves all the love and attention. While she can pull a bit on the leash, she’s still very manageable overall. Shortcake is looking for a family to call her own. Could that be you?
