Story
Lilly is now living the life of luxury, as every princess should. She was rescued from a terrible backyard living situation where life was a challenge. Will continue Lilly's lavish lifestyle? She is crate trained, so she can easily be left alone. She does have a little separation anxiety, but that is because she just loves to be with people. Lilly is very friendly and adores people. She is tolerant of cats and other dogs, but as always slow introductions are always required. Lilly does tend to guard her sleep area, but what princess doesn't need their undisturbed beauty sleep? Speaking of beauty sleep, Lilly loves to cuddle under the covers as her favorite past time. Will you be the one to cuddle with her? *Adopters must live in Central Indiana, no more than 45 min from downtown Indy *Please visit website for how to adopt: https://sketchymuttsandunderdogs.org/adopt *Please note that we do not operate on a first come first served basis.

Story
Are you looking for a “man’s man”, Look no further than Kong! Kong is a beefcake of a dog and despite his size, is convinced he’s a tiny lap dog. Kong loves short walks to the food bowl, WWE style wrestling matches, pretty ladies, and FOOD. Kong does well with other dogs, children (although they should be pretty sturdy), and we’d be willing to cat test.

First and foremost, Bones loves people! He ESPECIALLY loves all the scratches and cuddles they give him! Bones does have A LOT of puppy energy but is smart and eager to please, so would do great with some training. Bones LOVES children and does very well with them. Of course, due to his size - supervision is always recommended. He is working on potty training and can typically go about 6 hours without a bathroom break. On walks he notices other dogs and cats but doesn't pull or bark. Squirrels on the other hand.... *Adopters must live in Central Indiana, no more than 45 min from downtown Indy *Please visit website for how to adopt: https://sketchymuttsandunderdogs.org/adopt *Please note that we do not operate on a first come first served basis.

First thing to know about Tater...he loves everything and everyone!! :) Of course, being this full of joy can cause a young puppy to be a little crazy. But that just makes him more fun! Tater is a young and VERY energetic boy. He is currently in a foster home where he lives with both dogs AND cats. He is working on his manners but still needs reminders on how to interact with friends. Tater will need a home with other animals who are tolerant and patient with him. He is already crate trained! Really though, Tater is just looking for a family to love him the way he is....a little crazy, with a whole lot of love to give. *Adopters must live in Central Indiana, no more than 45 min from downtown Indy *Please note that we do not operate on a first come first served basis. *Please visit website for how to adopt: https://sketchymuttsandunderdogs.org/adopt

Story
Baxter is a 2 year old, 51 lb, sweetheart. This bouncy boy loves people and wants to be in their laps at all times. If we had to make a guess on breed, we would say American Bulldog/Boxer mix. He does well with other dogs his size or smaller, but can be reactive to larger dogs. He has not been tested with cats. Due to his bounciness, we would recommend a home with no small children, as they could easily be knocked over. He would make a great running or hiking partner. He is crate trained and potty trained. Baxter is neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative, on heartworm prevention, dewormed, on flea prevention, and microchipped.

This adorable girl will charm you with her warm personality and love for affection. Her cute quirk? When she’s happy, Juno rolls onto her back to show off her tummy—such a sweet sight!Juno enjoys simple pleasures like lounging on the bed, gazing out the window, and enjoying her Kong or nylon bone filled with peanut butter or cheese (she’s a big fan of both!). When you head out, you’ll often find her happily entertained by her favorite toys. Juno is housebroken, and although she doesn’t like crates, she’s been very well-behaved when left alone in her foster home. She knows a few commands like `sit,` `up up,` and `let`s go outside,` and is always ready for outdoor adventures with a wagging tail. Juno loves people and gets along with everyone she meets. She’ll greet you with a smile and a wagging tail, and if she really likes you, she might even give you a hug! This calm and affectionate girl is looking for a cozy spot to call her own.

Story
Meet Mona Lisa (aka Mo)! Mona Lisa is 1 year old and 47 pounds of love and puppy! She is very smart, affectionate and loves her humans. She currently lives with 5 other dogs of varying shapes, sizes and ages and gets along with all of them. She tends to want all the affection so sometimes can be pushy with her canine siblings. Mona is high energy and needs lots of exercise so sometimes she can be overwhelming to her geriatric canine siblings. Mona is house broken, spayed and up to date on her vaccinations. She loves to play and would do best in a house with a fenced in back yard and in a home where she is either the only dog or has a young sibling that she could play with. She is VERY sweet, friendly, and happy and LOVES car rides! No invisible fences please.

Story
Big Mama came to us during a large hoarding case, where we took in 20+ animals. We called her Big Mama, as it was thought she was pregnant, and fed her as such. Turns out, she was NOT pregnant, and had to lose some weight. Over time she has been on a low calorie (supplemented with green beans) diet, exercise, and has lost a lot of weight! She is a stout, friendly, happy girl. She loves everyone, toys, walks, and being next to you. She also loves her crate! Is housetrained when she is able to go out often. Owners would have to stick to her diet and exercise to make her most comfortable.

Story
BamBam is an approximately 3-year old, 70 lb goofy, loveable dog. Our best guess is an English Bulldog/mastiff mix. He recently completed 2 weeks of board and train, where he excelled. He is a VERY smart dog, and our trainer calls him a "one event" learner. He is incredibly cuddly and sweet, and LOVES to play with toys. He knows a number of commands. He currently lives with a 140 lb mastiff but would likely be happiest as an only dog. He has not been tested with cats. He is overall a very sweet boy who enjoys life indoors. BamBam is both crate and potty trained. BamBam is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm negative, on heartworm prevention, dewormed, and on flea prevention. His adoption fee is $300.
