Story
Rex is a special needs dog because he lost his front left paw to another dog when he was just a puppy. So instead of just giving him a partial leg, they took it off at the shoulder. He is a good dog and loves to play and cuddle. he has mostly been an inside dog because of his missing leg. He does tire easily went out walking because he hops on his right front leg. He is how trained and does not chew on anything in the house. He can be left alone in the house during the day while you were gone, but then needs to be let out to go to the bathroom. he needs a special home where he can be outside and not have to be locked up in a house or an apartment or even a small yard. He loves open spaces.

Story
Meet Lafayette!A 44lb, 2-year-old male Australian Shepherd with a heart as big as his energy level. He was recently adopted and returned about a month later—through no fault of his own. He’s still learning that the world is a safe place and can be a bit timid when meeting new people. According to his previous owner, Lafayette does well with other dogs and enjoys canine companionship. He isn’t a fan of being crated, and he hasn’t had experience with children or cats yet.He’s a high-energy boy who loves to play and would thrive in an active home that can keep both his body and mind busy. He’s people-friendly, enjoys attention, and doesn’t seem to mind the company of other dogs.Lafayette can get a bit jumpy when he’s excited, so he would do best in a home with older children who can handle his enthusiasm. With the right family, this smart and spirited Aussie will make a loyal, joyful companion.We do all adoptions with approved applicants by appointment only. If you are interested in adopting, please contact us via FB Messenger or email us at jcasreception@johnsoncounty.in.gov for an application.

Story
Meet Filigree!Filigree is a 1½-year-old male dog with a gentle soul and a thoughtful approach to the world. He thrives in calm, quiet environments where he can feel safe and relaxed. While he’s a truly lovely companion, Filigree isn’t a fan of sudden movements or a lot of commotion.Filigree enjoys playing with his toys in short, happy bursts, then will happily check back in with his people for reassurance or affection. He’s very people-oriented and values that connection, making him a sweet and attentive companion once he feels comfortable.Because of his sensitive nature, Filigree would do best in a home without small children. He may be open to sharing his home with another dog, provided it’s the right match—calm, respectful, and well-mannered companions suit him best.If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle dog who appreciates a quieter lifestyle and meaningful companionship, Filigree could be the perfect fit for your home.We do all adoptions with approved applicants by appointment only.

Story
Hello there, I'm Eric! Don't let my numerical name fool you, I'm all heart and no math. I'm just a puppy, but I've got a lot to give. I love to play and make everyone around me smile. My favorite game? Fetch, of course! I'm gentle with everyone I meet, making sure to greet them with a wagging tail and a soft nudge. I'm also quite the sweetie, always ready for a cuddle or a nap on a warm lap. You'll find that I'm a quick learner too, eager to please and quick to understand commands. So why should you adopt me? Well, I promise to fill your life with joy, laughter, and unconditional love. I may be just one pup, but I have enough love for four! DOB: 11/20/2024 Adoption fee: $200

Story
Storm is a 3 year old German shepherd dog. He is healthy other than having psoriasis and fleas. We have tried many treatments for the fleas which have been unsuccessful. He is a gentle giant who loves attention, playing and to be outdoors. Must have a dog door and fenced in yard since he likes to come and go as he pleases and will not come indoors until he wants to do so. He has been around kids and another dog. He is not crate trained since he hates cages. He is not leash trained. We are only rehoming due to my daughter developing allergies to dogs as well as allergy induced asthma. We have tried many things to prevent this but we are out of options. He is a long haired shepherd so he sheds a lot more than our other (6 yr old) shepherd does which is creating issues. We want the best home for him possible and we will not take him to a shelter. Please only contact me if interested.

These pups are in Shelbyville, Indiana too!

Story
Razor is a wonderful dog, he is always happy and ready to play. He has been professionally trained and is crate trained. He is a beautiful Malinois he is prefect in every way. I have an illness that forces me to find him an experienced owner of a Malinois he needs to be exercised daily. Is fully potty trained and will let you know he needs to go outside. He has been socialized highly and obeys commands on or off leash. I have a lot of money and time into Razor and I only want the very best home for him. He likes other animals as his best friend is a 1pound 9 once micro yorkie. He also will share his food bowl no aggression in anyway. He comes from a Champion blood line and needs a loving home because he will sit with you and loves children and is protective of his family. He doesn’t pay attention to dogs that bark or walk up to him. He is an outstanding beautiful Malinois. You can contact me at (xxx) xxx-xxxx call or text. Thank you for your interest.
