Story
We got Indiana as a puppy, in April of 24. He is house and crate trained, and knows basic commands. He is a complete space invader, and tends to be under any people or pets if he can be. He also is an aggressive chewer and needs specific toys or he will chew anything he can get his mouth on. We are looking for a home where he can have more freedoms than we can give him here, probably without young kids. He isn't aggressive, but pushes his way through wiggling his butt the whole time, which is tough with littles. He's not very active, usually ready to flop on the ground after a block of walking.

Story
***Milley has been with us longer than we would like and has been added to our Lonely Hearts Club***Hello there, I’m Milley! I’m a sweet and shy girl who loves tasty treats, gentle affection, and spending time with my people. I’m very food motivated, so treats can be a great way to help me learn new things, and I’m happy to take my medicine when it comes tucked inside a pill pocket! When you’re sitting down, I might come over, stand up on my back legs, and rest my front paws on you to say hello. I even have a little routine of tapping my feet before jumping up! I can be a bit shy about exploring new places and new people, and sometimes I need my person to show me that everything is okay before I venture out. I’m still learning how to feel comfortable when left alone, and I can even get anxious if I’m separated from my people for too long. I’ll need a patient family who can help me build confidence and learn that I’m safe, even when you’re away for a little while. I’m a lower-energy girl who enjoys plenty of rest, and I’m ready to find a calm, loving home where I can blossom at my own pace. If you’re looking for a gentle companion to share your days with, I might be the one for you! Come on down to the shelter and let’s meet soon!Medical History: I appear to be a healthy adult, but it`s always a good idea to set up an appointment with your vet soon after adoption so we can meet each other!Restrictions: Teens+. No other animals. No apartments.Weight: ~ 14lbsAdoption Fee: $100 + Tax

Story
***Marnie has been added to our Lonely Hearts Club and her adoption fee has been reduced to $100!***Meet Marnie! This sweet girl is a shy, sensitive soul who needs a little extra time to feel safe and comfortable. New people and unfamiliar situations can be scary for her, but once Marnie begins to trust you, her gentle personality starts to shine. Marnie would thrive in a calm, patient home without other pets where she can take things at her own pace. Speaking of `things` - if they`re of value to her, she would prefer you not touch it, please. She doesn’t need to be rushed or pushed, she needs someone who understands that trust is built one small step at a time. With patience, consistency, and plenty of love, Marnie has the potential to blossom into a wonderful companion. If you’re looking for a quiet, tender-hearted dog and are willing to give her the time and space she needs, Marnie may be the special girl you’ve been waiting for.Restrictions: Teens+ due to fear. No other animals. Recommendations: Marnie can have playdates with other dogs after slow introductions, but there shouldn`t be any high-value items in the mix. Your adoption counselor can discuss what might look like for Marnie. Weight: ~45.6 lbsMedical Summary: Marnie is a healthy dog but it is always a good idea to get established with your veterinarian to keep her happy and healthy.Adoption Fee: $100 + Tax

Story
I am a fun loving, goofy girl. I'm so happy, I wiggle when I walk! My last person didn't want me anymore and now I crave that special person who will love me as much as I love them. My biggest pleasure in life is to make you happy and laugh. I might look like a stiff wind is hitting me from the side, but it only adds to my silly, quirky personality. I haven't met a person yet that I don't like. In fact, I LOVE everybody. I'm great at cuddles too and I'm so good at being calm and respectful, just give me a few minutes to get over my eagerness to meet you. I work really hard at greeting you with a sit, but sometimes I'm so HAPPY to meet you I might forget my manners and jump, but I quickly stop when you remind me. I'm very good in my crate and I'm house trained. I promise to adore you for the rest of my life. I love playing ball like it is my middle name. Would you like to be my forever person?.
