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.

Story
Rio is a GSD that is 1 year old, we got him at 8 weeks old from a family friend who is a breeder of GSDs. We are rehoming him due to behavioral and personality changes that occurred after he starting having seizures. He was diagnosed with epilepsy in October 2025. He is on medication that he takes 2 times a day which control the seizures. After he had the first several seizures his personality changed and he is always in an excited state. We have small young children and no longer trust him around them due to more nipping than normal and he no longer respects boundaries. He has had the 7 week basic command training before his seizures, he still does recall all the commands but requires more attention that we can give now. He is incredibly smart and a would do well with some strict training. We tried more training sessions in Nov 2025 and the trainer said he is trainable but will require time. The trainer also recommended a home with no young children to give him the best chance.

Story
Meet Duke! ??A 66.5lb, 2-year-old, Shepherd mix who found himself at the shelter through no fault of his own. He’s a loyal, people-oriented pup who likes to stick close to his person and be part of whatever you’re doing. Duke has a medium to high energy level and loves to play—tug toys and chase games are some of his absolute favorites! Treats are also a big win for him, making training and bonding extra fun.Duke doesn’t love being in a crate and would do best in a home where he can have time outside of one, especially with his people nearby. According to his previous owner, he does well with children and other dogs, making him a great candidate for a family home or an active household. If you’re looking for a sweet, playful, and loyal companion, Duke might just be your perfect match.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
Charlie is such a sweet girl and it kills me to have to rehome her, but I have to go to Mayo Clinic in Minnesota to have some health issues addressed. She does not get along with other small dogs, and if any other type of dog shows her aggression or growls, she shows aggression back. She would do well in a home where it is just her. She loves people and children and is the sweetest girl.

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.

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.

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.
