He had a cast and is healing very well. As a result of his injuries he also suffered permanent nerve damage in his front left leg/foot! As he grows into an adult he may need future amputation.

Story
Woody must have been quite the athlete in his younger years and his passion for catching balls remains undiminished. With amazing agility for an 8 year old, 114 pound pup, he effortlessly leaps into the air, to snatch balls right out of thin air. It's a sight that leaves everyone in awe! After a few rounds of ball-chasing, Woody is more than content to relax in the grass, savoring the simple pleasure of lazily chewing on his prized possession. His calm and gentle nature perfectly complements his impressive physical abilities. Woody's big heart matches his sizable stature. He adores being showered with affectionate pets and never fails to reciprocate with a grateful kiss. The rhythmic sway of his big tail is a testament to the joy he experiences when receiving pets from his beloved humans. If you're looking for an extraordinary companion with a big heart and an even bigger love to share, Woody is the perfect match. Come meet this lovable gentle giant today and experience the unconditional love he has to offer. A wonderful friend of Woody loves him so much that they have sponsored his adoption fee!

Cooper is a Courtesy Listing and is not housed at the Animal Shelter. Please note that the City of Bloomington Animal Care & Control accepts no responsibility for this pet. Potential adopters are responsible for communicating directly with the pet's guardian. Cooper is an 8 year old shepherd & husky mix. He has been on a weight loss journey and from his surrender date to now he’s lost 17 lbs!! 😲 Cooper has the best personality. He’s a silly boy, when you get him hype he’ll sing you a song. But don’t worry his husky doesn’t come out too much. He’s more than happy to be silent at home waiting for his owner to come back.😁 He’s up to date on all of his vaccines and neutered. He does great with cats, dogs, and kids! Sometimes he wants to be right next to you chilling and watching tv and other times he wants to be left alone to snooze. He’ll tell you with a little huff and by walking away to find a new spot. Cooper used to be an escape artist. He’s pretty much reformed now but his new home will need a fence atleast 6ft or to be kept on leash. Cooper is located in Bloomington IN . If you’re interested please call or text 812-369-8582. ***Please ignore the Apply to Adopt button for this pet & contact the owner directly***

Frankie was found as a stray, and made her way to our rescue. She is a very active, high energy girl looking for a home where she can spend a lot of time playing (she lives for her ball!) and going for hikes. She is bonded to another dog at our rescue (Goose), and they would love to find a home together. But she can be adopted separately to the right home.
