American Bulldog puppies and dogs in Indianapolis, Indiana

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.

Meet Bixby! Bixby is a sweet boy with so much love to give — and the cutest squish-face you’ve ever seen! He’s a young, playful guy who is also gentle and chill. Bixby loves getting pets, playing with other dogs, and, of course, treats. He came to us as a stray and is now ready to start his next chapter with a loving family. He’s working on his crate training, and his potty training is still unknown, but he’s eager to learn and full of heart. Bixby is an absolute sweetheart looking for his forever home. If you’re searching for a cuddly companion with a squishy face and an even squishier heart, Bixby might just be the one for you! *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

Meet Meko. Meko is a calm, affectionate boy who really enjoys being close to his people. He’s a cuddle bug and loves quiet time, whether that’s relaxing nearby or snuggling up. He’s happiest chewing on his bones in his own space and tends not to like sharing his things with other dogs, so a home where he can be the only dog would likely be the best fit for him. Meko enjoys playing with toys, especially ones with squeakers, and he plays a bit rough as he figures them out. Meko has a gentle personality and is easy to be around. He’s looking for a home where he can feel secure, included, and comfortable as part of daily life—lounging at home, going for walks, and spending time with his people. If you’re looking for a loyal, low-key companion, Meko could be a great match. *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

axter is a 2 - 3 year old, 67 lb, sweetheart. This beautiful 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 gets along well with other dogs his size and smaller, but can be reactive to dogs that are larger than him. He should also be fed separately from other dogs. He would make a great running or hiking partner. He has enjoyed going for walks and outings with volunteers and has no stranger danger. He is crate-trained and potty-trained. Baxter is neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative, on heartworm prevention, dewormed, on flea prevention, and microchipped.

Meet Violet!! 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 A! AKA Avery. A has been with us far too long. when her original rescue gave up on her due to basic behavior and energy. We decided to give her a chance and she has not disappointed. Avery is believed to be a 4-year-old boxer mastiff beagle blend. Only upon arriving with us was Avery able to experience what a good home is… and although she lacked experience she has been amazing since day 1. Avery is proud, well-mannered, and quite the lady. Structured, disciplined, and routine along with basic obedience training have transformed this beautiful girl into nothing short of amazing. Avery is still a bit shy at first with new people, timid some, but easily warms up. Avery has the potential to be dog friendly as she is here, but this will REQUIRE time and work until adjusted to her new people and home. However, she does just well all on her own. Sadly She can be sensitive and selective with energy. This is why we say she is best as an only pet, to begin with, and slowly introduce her to a friend, eventually in the future if desired. However, do understand that this may not be feasible and at best she can be happy as an only pet. Avery never learned how to properly interact with other dogs but since with us, she is learning every day. Avery loves the outdoors. Enjoys playing with toys, and makes the perfect Netflix cuddle pup. Avery is simple and easy to please and keep happy. Avery is awesome with the kids she has met and loves their joyful happy energy. Avery dreams of happiness forever to find her and we are hoping it’s sooner than later. She has been homeless her whole life. Avery would make a great apartment or condo living pup with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation, is easy to keep her happy. Basic activity and daily exercise have done wonders for Avery. She is active, but not hyper. She’s playful and learning to play on her own with her toys without destroying them. She is crate trained and housebroken. I feel Avery would do just fine with older children who are dog friendly and well-mannered. Have I mentioned Avery makes the best Bing-watching TV buddy?! She snuggles and cuddles and has no complaints about doing so as we binge-watch our favorite series. Avery knows all her basic commands: sit, stay, leave it, wait, come, go to place/bed, and won’t touch her food unless given the okay (release). She is muzzle trained and we are done great with leash training her off-leash recall is immaculate. Avery needs a committed owner who will continue to build her confidence continues to shape her into the dog she is meant to be. Molded to perfection which she's there already. She is easy! She needs a fully secure 5ft fenced yard and an active hands-on pet parent with endless nurturing and love. Avery enjoys family outdoor activities. She loves swimming, running, power walks, and chill walks too. She has no set mode, she enjoys it ALL! She will follow your lead. She loves car rides and fast food drive-thru☺️ For pup cups. She needs an active outdoor-loving family that will include her in all the fun family adventures, that’s a must! Avery is a goof and at times a dork. She is inquisitive and always happy. Full of joy and seeking to nurture forever love. Avery has become a toy hog too. She completely avoids everyone and fully concentrated on playing with her toys. Avery loves to snuggle as her people enjoy watching tv or just reading a book. Avery needs a person in charge who she can trust and love and feel safe and confident and who will not fail her and only set her up for success. Who can lead her daily and keep her intertwined? Sadly Avery has been homeless her whole life. She has been bounced from rescue to rescue because no one wants a smart active bouncy mutt, who has easily outsmarted most. How is this Avery’s fault? From her medical foster when Avery received ACL double patella surgery (update as of 7/30/2020) Avery did well while crated for the most part. She spent 8 hours alone in a house while crated 8 hr per day. She is capable of breaking out of the crate-recommend reinforcing with locks. She will willingly go back into the crate with verbal commands. Avery will not react aggressively if approached while eating. Avery did well with more active playing in a clean and open garage during the winter months as I am disabled. Avery will remain off the furniture if commanded. Avery can become upset if you are in a different part of the house where she cannot see you until she is unjust and settles in. During the early days, she would bark and drool to anxiety. This has not happened in years. That easily stopped shortly after adjustment. Avery does not want to run in the house she will need to work on this with future owners. She enjoys her small space and comfort from her humans. Avery poops 2 times a day. Once in the morning after eating and once in the evening after eating. She can go up to three times a day. Avery was friendly towards house guests but can be overly excited. She responds negatively (hard barking) towards people walking down the sidewalk while she sits on the front porch asking to greet but is easily redirected. She did not act aggressively while walking in places. She did well In nicely spaced public spaces like open public parks and college campuses and trails. Avery does not like small animals. She sees them outside squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks, cats, etc. Avery does not like large stuffed animals. They scare her. Avery becomes agitated in cars when at a standstill but happy when on the go. This has improved tremendously. Avery does not react to fireworks, sirens, or other loud noises in urban areas and big city noises. Avery did well getting bathed outdoors and indoors. Nail trimming was surprisingly easy (she is amazing). Avery is house and crate trained, up to date on all appropriate core vaccines including lepto, and corona, as well as rabies shot, dewormed, fecal tested negative, microchipped, neutered, and on monthly heartworm flea/tick prevention.

Meet Attica aka Addy! Adopt me, feed me, and never leave me. Attica is waiting for her happy forever family to adopt her. She is active but not hyper, shy and timid and at first unsure so patience will be needed. However, once adapted she is extremely outgoing, and simply just great as well as fabulous. She is great with all dogs of all ages and sizes, cats, and children too but too much wild energy will get her wild side going. After all, she does have Boston Terrier in her. Addy Walk excellent on a leash, house, and crate trained. Macular like a boxer but at most 37 pounds and already fully grown at 24 months old. She loves car rides, is very food/treat motivated, an amazing snuggle buddy too. And a excellent running buddy. Addy has accomplished and succeeded in basic obedience training and is well-mannered but still puppy like with plenty of sass. What more could anyone want? She is a mutt mix and could very well have some Staff mix too. GORGEOUS. Could that be a deal breaker? I hope NOT! If so, you are MISSING OUT! Attica is house and crate trained, up to date on all appropriate core vaccines including lepto, corona as well as rabies shot, dewormed, fecal tested negative, microchipped, neutered, and current on monthly heartworm flea/tick prevention.
