Story
    Dexter is a loving guy however, he takes time to warm up to new people and it is on his time not yours. If he is just allowed to transition into his new home on his own, without a human trying to force it to quickly he will do fine. Does well with other dogs, no cats and no small children. We require   that you have a fenced in yard, not a "kennel" in the yard AND we do not approve underground fencing. Depending upon the dog some exceptions are made for those who live in apartments.   We also require that the adoptee will be a part of the family "living" within the home. Our adoption process may be found on our website at www.bitofheaven.org Visits are scheduled by appointment only via emailing request to ownedbycaninesandlovit@yahoo.com   March 11, 2026, 12:46 pm

Story
Rob came from a hoarding house where he never learned the joys of human companionship. He has been in his current foster home for nearly 4 years and has no interest in EVER coexisting with humans. In fact, he's quite an asshole and barks non-stop at his foster mom every time she gets up from being seated and simply walks across the room. He is pretty much the most disliked dog that has ever existed. He is despised by large and small humans and at least half of the dogs that meet him also can't find it within themselves to like him.  HE DOES NOT PLAY. HE DOES NOT SNUGGLE. HE DOES NOT GO ON WALKS. HE DOES NOT COOPERATE WITH ANYTHING HUMANS WANT HIM TO DO. Rob is not completely housebroken but will accompany his doggie friends out to do his business. In all honesty, his only redeeming characteristic is how cute he is.  Rob's ideal home is one where he can be just one of many other other dogs and someone will feed him and take care of his other basic needs while requiring absolutely nothing in return. We are looking for a needle in a haystack and hoping for a miracle. Rob will need someone willing to foster to adopt to make sure his adopter can handle his idiocinracies so anyone looking to adopt him needs to be within a 2-hour drive of Cloverdale indiana. Rob cannot easily be leashed, so a home with a fenced in yard would be best. Rob needs an adopter that is up to the challenge of having a dog that may not ever like you. Are you the needle in the haystack we are looking for? Side Note: Rob was adopted for a brief period a year ago and did fairly well but the other dog in the home ultimately decided Rob was a complete jerk and that they could not be friends. If you think you can work miracles, please visit our website at www.4pups.org and click the Foster button under Rob's photo. Rob is eligible to be a forever foster whereby we would pay his annual vet care for life, or he could be adopted for $1. ##1494427##

Story
We thought Erni was a boy - which is how she got her name! It seems to suit so even though we discovered along the way that she is fact, a hermaphrodite, we kept it!  Erni came from a hoarding situation and is well versed in living with a lot of other dogs. She has no desire to be an only dog, but also does not need a lot of them. She would prefer another laid back dog in the house. She is less knowledgeable about being handled by people. She is not necessarily afraid, it's just not something she enjoys. She is not snuggly, but still follows us around, begs for snacks and wants to be with her people. Erni LOVES to play fetch! She will play fetch for hours. She also enjoys other toys.  While Erni does not want to snuggle or be your best friend, she does follow her foster mom around the house and is very happy when she comes home. She will want to be your dog's best friend, but is fine if the other dog wants space as well. Erni is looking for a home with a solidly fenced yard. She is fine with cats. Erni uses both outside and potty pads and is about 90% potty trained. Chances are high she will not get much better but supervision and crate training are very helpful! Erni does walk on a leash. Erni's adoption fee is $175 and comes with spay/neuter, vaccinations, vet well visit and microchip. ##1355952##
