Story
Hi, hi, hi! I'm Sylas. The humans say I'm kind of a derpy dude who is always happy! And speaking of happy, I have never been so excited to meet someone! So, I hope you feel the same way and will come to MHS and meet me! I think it is important to tell you what I do when I meet strangers... ...I turn into one giant, happy, 77-pound wiggle and I MUST say hi to each and every person so they know that I do not consider them a stranger! I love everyone! I'm a stocky happy-go-lucky handsome boy and the humans say that I'm always smiling and wanting to be best friends with everyone. I love food. Yum. It is so, so good. I'm a treat-motivated boy and am willing to work for them. Would you teach me good-boy behaviors? Like how to sit, walk nicely on leashes, etc? I will put all of my love and devotion into whoever adopts me and I'd feel like the luckiest pup ever if someone wanted to do the same for me. I've never really had that kind of love but the humans here tell me I am worth it. So far, the humans have noticed that I prefer to hang out with female dogs vs. other fur-dudes. Kitties are a bit too interesting for me, so no kitties, please! I'd think kiddos should be old enough to where they are relatively sturdy. Describing me as an active boy is totally appropriate. I'm looking for someone who also is active, who likes walkies, who likes going on hikes, etc. On the other paw, I always look forward to snuggle time. I'm about three years old and I'm neutered. Love, Sylas.

Story
Hi friends, my name is Sugar. I'm about 50-pounds, am spayed, am about four years old, and I am even sweeter than my name is! I love rolling around in the grass and asking for belly rubs. I'm always giggling because evidently there are lots of songs with "sugar" in them and the humans are always singing one or another to me! Since I never say no to attention, their singing never bothers me and, in fact, I love it because that means they are focusing on me! Not only do they sing songs about me, but they also have lots of different names for me...I've heard snuggle-bug, muffin, cutie-patootie, schmoopy, etc. etc. etc. I basically answer to anything if it means I get to curl in someone's arms. I have done alright with some other friendly dogs! The humans think I prefer a pup with a playstyle that is energetic but also capable of chilling and just being around one another. Pups my size have been the best fit so far but I'd be just as happy without another pup in the home. A home with kiddos who are about 9ish and up would be my fave! No kitties for me, please! People really make me happy. I love to be around everyone. The humans say that they think I'd be the absolutely best professional couch potato. I can hardly wait to get close to people when they sit next to me. I'll be waiting impatiently for you so please come meet me. Love, pretty Sugar girl.

Story
Hi! I'm Priscilla! I'm about two years old and I'm spayed. I am currently living in a foster home but I am still available for adoption! I LOVE to play with stuffed animals and have had the time of my life playing in playgroups with other fun dog friends! I get along wonderfully with my dog foster-sibling. If you want to adopt me, please call the shelter at 219-872-4499. When I meet new people, it is scary for me and I am afraid. Once I get to know you, I literally do a happy dance and wiggle all over the place! My tail wags so fast! I hurry as fast as I can over to greet you because I love our time together. So, will you please be patient with me while we are getting to know each other? I most likely will need more than one visit to understand we can be friends. I'd be most comfortable with a slow introduction if you have visitors over, as well. Just a little bit of extra time for me to trust new people is all I ask for. Given that sudden movements can make me nervous, I'd prefer a home that has older kiddos, maybe about teenagers and up. Once I have acclimated, I love to toss squishy toys around to myself then I like to remove the filling that makes them squishy, and I use it to decorate the floor. The humans chuckle and keep cleaning it up for me! They say I'm so funny! I'll be waiting for you. Love, Priscilla.

Story
The more we get to know Shoto, the more we fall in love with him. He is SO happy all the time! This guy is a gem and is a favorite amongst many! His ears are fantabulous, his personality is so charming, and his little patch over his eye melts our hearts. He's such a social butterfly and is that type of dog who wants to just have fun! Shoto has lived with respectful kiddos before so it was easy for him to be tolerant and playful with them! He's also done well with most other friendly shelter pups, too! He likes to run and play tag so if your resident dog is energetic, as well, they could be a great match! He's done great in his previous home with being crate-trained and being house-trained for the most part! If you are outdoorsy, Shoto loves to be in the sunshine, too! He'd be a great adventure buddy. Tennis balls are his favorite toy. He loves car rides, going for walks, and running. He is so smart and already knows how to sit, shake paws, come, and stay. He really is such a joy to be around. Shoto is about one and a half years old and is neutered.

Story
'Sup friends? I'm Hank. I'm the coolest pup you'll meet. I don't know what a stranger is. I believe if someone walks within 50-feet of me, then we are besties! I MUST say hi. They MUST greet me. My tail will NOT stop wagging. I'm the happiest ray of sunshine ever. I love to have my picture take and will strike a pose each time. I love to chill at MHS up in the office. It is my goal to make sure the humans focus on me more than their own work. I am quite successful at it! I distract them with tossing my tug-of-war rope on their lap! Let's chat about other furry friends. I have done alright with some dog friends. I'm still deciding about others so if you have a friendly pup at home, we may do alright together. Once I the humans watch my interactions a little more, they'll update with more details. I'm quite young still, so it'd be fun if your resident pup liked to run and play. I tested positive for Lyme disease. So, it is very important for whoever adopts me to continue tick prevention throughout my whole life. I may need extra vet visits in the future, as well. As long as kiddos are loving to me, I'll be their best friend. That would be just the best ever. Can I get back to you about kitties? Oh yeah, I also want you to know that I love to give hugs. If you are someone who likes pups who want to be as close as possible, always wanting love, then adopt me. That's exactly who I am! I'm about two and a half years old and am neutered. Love, Hank.

Story
This short lil' happy hippo look-a-like is Diamond. If your kiddos and/or dog(s) need a fursister, she is exactly perfect for the job! She's wiggly, she's friendly, she's the happiest girl. Diamond's playbows with other dogs are the best! She seems to do best with other male dogs. When we're outside with her, she'll get short spurts of zoomie energy. She makes us laugh because her zoomies aren't exactly of normal zooming speed, but she sure tries! Then Diamond rolls over for belly rubs and will kerplop onto your lap for cuddle and affection. She knows how to sit and if you tell her to "take nicely," she takes treats ever so gently. Diamond doesn't miss a chance to ask someone to pet her. She is very much a "people-y" type of dog. As long as she has her person, she's a happy sweetie pie. Diamond would love to go for car rides so her big ears can flutter out the window. We think she'd also enjoy a beach or neighborhood walkie, and then curling up on the couch to watch TV. We just adore her. She'll be a wonderful family dog to a family with no kitties in the home! Stop by for a visit and adopt her! She is about five years old, is spayed, prefers no kitties, and is an absolute pleasure to be around.
