Story
Chief is a sensitive soul who’s still figuring out how to trust the world again. Underneath his sad eyes and tucked tail is a dog who truly *wants* connection—he’s just not sure how to ask for it. When he first arrived at the shelter, Chief was overwhelmed and unsure, freezing up during his medical exam and flinching at the unfamiliar. But with patience, soft voices, and gentle hands, he’s already shown that he’s willing to lean in—literally—for affection. In the office, he walked up calmly, accepted pets, and when they stopped, he came in closer, quietly asking for more. Chief is looking for a home that understands fear doesn`t make a dog bad—it just means he needs a little extra love. He may do best in a quiet environment where he can feel safe and decompress. Once he knows you`re his person, Chief is the kind of dog who will be endlessly loyal. He`s not looking for a fast-paced lifestyle—just someone who sees his worth and is willing to meet him where he is. With time, Chief won’t just come out of his shell—he’ll show you a heart as big as they come. Adoptions are free and include support from our adoption team to ensure a smooth transition from the shelter to your home. Adopted pets are vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed/neutered before leaving with you. To view our current available animals, please visit: https://indy.gov/activity/adopt-a-pet.

Rhodesian Ridgeback

Story
Lady is a resilient sweetheart with a playful streak and a heart that’s ready to heal. When she first arrived, she wasn’t sure what to make of us—but after a quick pause to assess the situation, she was running over for treats, asking for pets, and trying to play with toys like we’d been friends all along. She walks well on a leash (though she pulls like she’s late for a party) and would benefit from a comfy harness while a neck injury continues to heal. At the shelter, Lady has been friendly, food-motivated, and eager for affection. She’s shown some tension around other dogs and may do best with slow introductions or as your one-and-only. She’s got plenty of love to give and would thrive with someone who can offer patience, playtime, and a cozy place to land. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a little spark, Lady might just be your girl. Adoptions are free and include support from our adoption team to ensure a smooth transition from the shelter to your home. Adopted pets are vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed/neutered before leaving with you. To view our current available animals, please visit: https://indy.gov/activity/adopt-a-pet.

Rudy

Rhodesian Ridgeback American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Adult
Brownsburg, IN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
We adopted rudy from a foster family. The foster family said he was a stray and vet estimated his age to be 3 years old at the time we adopted him. His birthday is in July so he will be turning 9 this year. Rudy is very laid back, loves snuggles and low energy. He enjoys short walks, sun bathing outside and car rides. He is amazing with babies, toddlers, young kids and adults. He is 1 of 3 dogs in our house. He has been to dog parks and just wants to sniff around. He is older and not so active. His foster family had cats and they said he ignored them. Rudy needs a home with low energy dogs, cats and or kids. He is older and needs less stimulation, more attention and love. Our babies jump on him and our other dogs are rough. We have littles and work opposite shifts. Our life is very busy and Rudy deserves better. He loves sweaters, treats, being spoiled and will be your best friend. He is starting to lose his hearing and eye sight but not deaf or blind. Just aging gracefully!
