Story
We rescued Doyle from our local shelter as we suspected an obstruction. He received surgery, in which several things were found, including foam and screws. He has recovered nicely from the procedure and has gained over 20lbs! He has had no interested in eating anything other than food since his surgery. We suspect he was starved, and resorted to eating whatever he could find at the time. Doyle is delightful, friendly and low energy. He has no clue that he doesn't fit in your lap, and wants nothing more than to flop his body all over you in lovings! If you have kids, we would recommend children over the age of 10, as he is a big boy!

Story
Harry is a big, lovable derpy dog who loves everyone he meets. Harry is about 85% potty trained and he’s 100% lapdog. He doesn't know how big he is, and wears his love on the outside. He is certainly a very happy dog if he has room to move. No fault of his own, Harry has been bounced around from home to home and did a couple tours of the city shelter when we stepped in and decided to give him a chance. Harry has had very little structure in his young life and he most likely missed the window of development when dogs learn to read other dogs. So, while he absolutely loves other dogs, he has no idea how to read body language. Because of this, Harry will need slow introductions and a tolerant dog friend to set him up for success when meeting other dogs. Harry has some separation anxiety and would do best in a home where he gets to go most places with his people or his people are home a lot. Harry also has no idea that he’s an 95 lb dog with more weight to put on. Because of Harry's large size and inability to read personal space, he would do better with a stronger person of stature. Harry thinks he is still a puppy and can easily be unpredictable with his joy. He's basically a lovable-wrecking ball in dog form. Harry has the stubbornness of a mastiff. If he doesn't want to do something he either plays "catch the mastiff" or "dead mastiff." Both can be frustrating, but also funny if you like that kind of thing. Most of what Harry is trying to avoid is being alone. You absolutely will not find a dog with a bigger heart than Harry. But I’m not gonna lie, he is A LOT. He’s got some baggage from being bounced around. He needs structure, patience, and time. And, of course, lots of love. Are you Harry’s person? Fill out an adoption application on our website, Sketchymuttsandunderdogs.org and we will set up a time to talk about him! *Adopters must live in Central Indiana, no more than 45 min from downtown Indy

Atlas | Mastiff and Lab Mix | DOB: 08.01.2020 | 75 pounds | Only Animal | Older Kids | Meet Atlas! Atlas is a beautiful 60 pound brindle mastiff and lab mix. He is 4 years old and a very sweet and down to earth boy. Atlas sat in a city shelter for over 6 months before coming to us. Atlas loves his people, especially if they’re women. He is a lover and such a sweetheart. Atlas is an overall chill and happy boy. He listens very well off leash and his favorite thing to do is play with toys out in the yard. Atlas is a playful boy and loves to throw his toys around the house. He loves walks and he absolutely loves treats. He will often lay with his paws crossed, as any sophisticated boy would do. We are looking for a home with no younger children, as they can be loud. Atlas is not good with dogs or cats. Atlas is potty trained and crate trained. He has never had an accident in the home or in his crate while we’re at work. He’s a great walker on the leash. If he sounds like a good fit, adopt our boy today!

Story
Belle originally came to us as an 8 week old puppy found as a stray. She was adopted and then at 14 months old because adopters had not provided any training and were started to struggle with adolescent shepherd behaviors. She is currently living in a foster home with 9 other dogs and doing well. She is high energy and likes to play hard. While she has been around children, we do not recommend small children due to her size and energy level. She is crate trained and potty trained. She would do best in a home with a fenced in yard, and someone who is committed to ongoing training. Belle is spayed, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and microchipped.

Story
Meet Toby! Toby is all puppy a big big puppy that will push buttons test boundaries, and everyone he meets. He is a butt head but means no harm. He has learned his size can be intimidating but he's a kitten at heart. He's extremely smart and truly a great dog once he knows not to shit around. He's goofy with lots of puppy left in him. I strongly believe his goofy personality is just him catching up for the lack of experience in his first year plus of life he missed out on. Toby is great with dogs of all sizes. Truly hes sweet and a big baby. Toby needs a strong handler and not a crazy busy home with lots of visitors. ABSOLUTELY NO cats and NO children of young age. Toby makes most adults fly. He is a giant DODO. If you fear him he will smell you out and use it to intimidate you. Toby requires a confident no nonsense kind of person. With humor, nurturing but firm LOVE. Toby is house and crate trained, up to date on all appropriate core vaccines including lepto, rabies, dewormed, fecal tested negative, microchipped, neutered, and on monthly heartworm flea/tick prevention. Updated: 2/1/2023 www.animalhousesanctuary.org We believe training is an ongoing process that needs to be worked on daily. New issues that arise, need to be addressed and/or rewarded. Understanding that continued training is a lifetime commitment, is very important. Out-of-state adopters are welcome at the adopter's expense. Meet & Greets are a required before proceeding with an adoption. We DO NOT ship any of our pets.

Meet Dually!!! Dually is believed to be a Mastiff mix about 7 yrs old. Dually has been homeless her whole life. She’s been in rescue since 2016. Really all she needs is a stable secure home with a confident experienced owner with common sense. She is a homebody and would perfectly happy with just her people.

She loves training and learning commands. Loves car rides and walks. Drive through for pup cups are always fun. Dually lacks confidence and can be unsure at times. Allow her space she needs and build that bond with her and she is that loyal dog everyone dreams of having. An adult home would be best for her. Well mannered teens are ok. Respect, discipline, routine, structure, and common sense Helps dually feel safe and at home. She truly is not difficult and once comfortable she’s absolutely the best friend anyone could want. Dually has been raised with kids as young as 7 years old. Dually is a breed of dog that is not for the weak minded, or non committed individual. She is guarded but disciplined.

Dually has done well with other dogs properly introduced. it takes time and patience. Trust is everything and she is currently 1 of 32 plus in her group who coexist without any issues. She was at one point 1 of 60 free roaming. She prefers her space and loves her crate/cave. Loves her chew toys and comfy dog bed. Dually walks well on leash, off leash trained, her breed makes her very protective of her people, pack and perimeter but obeys well and will not act on it. Dually is crate trained and housebroken. Dually cannot be adopted out within city limits of Fort Wayne/Allen county or Huntington/Huntington county unless its a confident secure home with a full fence and cautions keeping her safe and thriving. These areas are not ok with her breed. A secured fence in yard is preferred 4 ft and up, no tie out, no chain, no garage living. No basement. She needs to by her people relaxed in a big comfy dog bed. Preferred a home with no other pets. Adoption fee partially sponsored. And she is to be an indoor pet and part of the family.

Story
Ross is a gentle giant. Don't let his big bark fool you, he's really just a big baby. Ross just needs some time to warm up to new people and needs to do that on his own time. But once you're in, you're IN! He's loyal and so loving. Ross will do best with a family that will help him gain his confidence and get more socialized. He needs a home without feline siblings but can do well with dog siblings. He will just need to meet any potential canine friends at the shelter first. Adopting Ross means you'll have a BFF for life! https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/TIP-A-212

Briar just turned 4 this May. We have had her since she was a puppy. She is a very sweet girl who loves her people. Briar does not do well with our older dog or our cats in the house. We have to keep her separated from the other animals and do not want to continue keeping her away from her family. She loves going for rides and is well behaved in public. She loves playing with our 2 year old grandson and is very attentive with him. We are looking to rehome her into an environment that she can thrive as an only animal.
