Story
Casey is a 6-year-old Rat Terrier with a big personality. Due to my own health issues, Im no longer able to give her the level of care and activity she deserves, so searching for an experienced and responsible adopter who can offer her a safe, stable, and loving home. Casey is energetic, playful, and loves being around people. She’s the kind of dog who lights up when she gets attention. She can be hyper at times, especially when excited, but she settles down nicely once she’s burned off some energy. She does best as an only dog or with a male dog. Casey is what I would describe as a flight risk. She’s clever, agile, and has been known to take herself on adventures if she finds an opening. Because of this, a secure, fenced-in backyard is strongly recommended, and her adopter should be comfortable managing a dog who likes to explore. Fully house trained & crate trained Spayed and microchipped

Story
Meet Monte!Monte is a 19lb, 10-year-old Jack Russell Terrier mix with a big personality and an even bigger love for his people. He’s a classic ball chaser who still enjoys playtime, but his favorite place to be is right by your side—or better yet, on your lap! In fact, Monte made himself quite at home by claiming the shelter manager’s desk as his own cozy spot.Monte is deeply devoted to his person and thrives on close companionship. He values his belongings and can be protective of his food and toys, so he does best with someone who understands and respects his boundaries. Because of this, Monte would be happiest in a home without small children.With the right match—someone patient, dog-savvy, and loving—Monte will be a loyal, affectionate companion who just wants to be near his human. If you’re looking for a sweet senior who knows what he likes and loves wholeheartedly, Monte might 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. 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!
