Story
Jasper is a Courtesy Listing and is not housed at the Animal Shelter. Please note that the City of Bloomington Animal Care & Control accepts no responsibility for this pet. Potential adopters are responsible for communicating directly with the pet's guardian.Jasper is a sweet pup that is about 2.5 years old. He has lived in one home since he was a puppy. He is house trained, crate trained, knows basic obedience (leash walking, sit, stay, down, come, leave it, etc). He is great with kids but does forget his size. He wants to be the only love of your life. We have had issues where he has attacked our other (elderly) dog (they used to play fine) and he can be selective with his people which is difficult in our home environment because we have therapists in and out of our house all day. However, once he accepts you he is the most amazing pup. I don’t believe he would enjoy living with cats. I would want to make sure it is the right home. He is UTD on vaccines and heartworm meds. He is neutered and microchipped as well.If you would like to inquire into adopting this pet, PLEASE EMAIL ksanderson07@gmail.com***Please ignore the Apply to Adopt button for this pet & contact the owner directly***

Snowflake

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 2 yrs 5 mos
Bloomington, IN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Snowflake is a loving, cuddly and playful gal who'd love to go home with a permanent family, especially if they have another dog or two! She loves to play with her companions (canine or human), including running around outside and playing chase! She is completely housetrained and comfortable in a crate (especially if a doggie friend is near her). She is learning to walk on a leash and come when called off leash. Snowflake can be a little nervous when first meeting people but warms up quickly. She loves to be with people. In the past, she has sometimes been destructive when alone for long periods of time in new situations, but this issue has disappeared since getting more comfortable in her foster home, and “Snowfers” enjoys “chilling” with the resident dog there. She could be an ideal pet for someone who often works remotely and would love to have a doggie companion snoring beside their desk or keeping their feet warm, though working from home isn't necessary. Snowflake is a very affectionate dog who loves to please and hates to disappoint!

Bruno

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 4 yrs 6 mos
Bloomington, IN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Bruno is a really special dude. He began his stay with us when he was picked up by an officer. Though he was very scared and likely abandoned, Bruno quickly befriended our officer and gobbled down some snacks. Bruno has done phenomenally once he builds that relationship and trust with his circle. It may take a few snacks and patience, but Bruno is a solid friend who adores belly rubs and takes the most adorable naps in fluffy dog beds. He is extremely smart and food motivated, so he has picked up on training fast! We would consider Bruno dog selective; he is fairly neutral about the idea of other dogs outside of the kennel environment and does prefer to keep his resources separate.
