Story
Hi, I’m Casey I’m a little lady with a big personality and a bigger love for people — attention is my favorite thing. I’m energetic, playful, and happy to settle down after I’ve had some time to move around. I’ve been said to be good with kids. I do have some ongoing medical needs, namely a history of seizures. I’m a curious, adventurous girl, so a secure yard is recommended to help keep me safe while I explore the world.

Story
Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter, heart worm test if applicable) microchip, worming and flea/tick/heart worm (if applicable) preventatives. Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your newly adopted dog will help others in need.

Story
Meet Rosie!A 30lb, 2-year-old, Jack Russell Terrier who came to the shelter alongside her housemate, Lilly, after a sudden loss in her family. The big changes were overwhelming for her, and she arrived feeling very stressed and timid. With time, patience, and lots of consistency from our staff, Rosie has begun to show small but meaningful signs of coming out of her shell with the people she knows best. Rosie does best when people listen to her boundaries. Because of this, she’s looking for a calm, understanding home with children who are teen age or older, where everyone can move at Rosie’s pace and let trust build naturally. She’ll need adopters who are patient, kind, and willing to give her the time she needs to feel safe and secure.In the right home, with steady routines and gentle encouragement, Rosie has the potential to continue blossoming into a loving companion. If you’re someone who believes in going slow, celebrating small victories, and giving a dog the space to be herself, Rosie may be the perfect match for you.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. You can also find one on our website at http://johnsoncountyanimalshelter.com/adopt/. Once an application is submitted and approved, we can set an appointment to meet the pet!

Story
Charlie is the sweetest little guy with so much love to give. He has been wonderful with my children, our cats, and our other dogs. He is a happy, active boy who loves to run and play, so he will do best with someone who has the time to give him regular exercise and attention. He can be a little energetic at times and will need continued training, especially since he struggles with separation anxiety and gets nervous in a crate. This is a very hard decision for me as I am preparing for surgery and won’t be able to give him the time he deserves. When he is not in “GO mode,” he loves snuggling under blankets and being close to his people. He has had a tendency to run out of my front door and unfortunately likes to chase cars as they drive down our street. I have been trying to work with him as much as possible on this. With such a busy schedule it has been hard to be consistent. If you can offer Charlie a loving, patient forever home, please reach out.
