Story
💕 Meet Sadie! 💕 If you’re looking for a happy, affectionate, playful girl who will shower you with kisses and happily accept belly rubs all day long, Sadie may be your girl! 🥰 Sadie is a 7-year-old sweetheart who is equal parts snuggly and playful. She LOVES meeting new people and gets so excited to make new friends! She’s smart, expressive, adaptable, and just an all-around happy-go-lucky girl. 💗 🐾 A few of Sadie’s favorite things: • Belly rubs (her absolute favorite!) • Chew toys — she’s a stuffie destruction expert! 😂 • Walks and playing fetch • Lounging in the sunshine • Following her people around while they garden • Meeting friendly dogs • Car rides and sticking her head out the window 🌞 Sadie is completely housebroken, sleeps through the night, and does wonderfully when left home alone. She isn’t crate trained and doesn’t do well being confined to small spaces, but she is perfectly happy roaming the house and mostly sleeps while her humans are away. She is also a pretty quiet girl! She may bark at a neighborhood dog, a cat outside, or occasionally a delivery person, but she’s very easy to redirect. 🐶 A few things to know about Sadie: Sadie gets VERY excited for walks and pulls during the first 15 minutes or so. She’s a petite girl but very strong, so she’ll need someone who can handle her strength. Once she gets that initial excitement out, she settles into a nice pace. She LOVES people and can jump when excited, so a home with very young children may not be the best fit because she could accidentally knock over a little one. Sadie has done well meeting other dogs, especially males. She would likely do best with a dog her size or larger, as tiny dogs may be overwhelmed by her enthusiasm and strength. She is also not recommended for a home with cats because she loves to chase them. And how adorable is this? 🥹 Sadie has a little white heart-shaped spot on the back of her neck AND the cutest crooked tail that gives her the most adorable little tail wags! ❤️

Story
Meet Buddy (aka Buddy Boy)A big-hearted, medium-energy goofball who just wants to love and be loved.His StoryBuddy was found standing in the middle of a road on the east side of Indy, unsure of where to go next. When his foster opened her car door, he climbed right in without hesitation. His previous owner, who was facing terminal illness, made the heartbreaking decision to surrender him so he could get the care and stability he deserved.When he first arrived, Buddy was timid and kept his distance. Over time, he’s blossomed into an affectionate, joyful companion who greets his foster with full-body excitement.Personality & Energy LevelBuddy is a medium-energy dog who enjoys a balance of activity and relaxation. He’s playful, affectionate, and incredibly people-oriented. He loves to be close to his person—especially at bedtime, where he happily snuggles in and settles down.He’s gentle at heart, but he doesn’t always realize how big and goofy he is, which adds to his charm.Dog FriendshipsBuddy gets along well with female dogs of all ages. His foster sisters adore him, and he loves cuddling and playing with them. He is not a fan of male dogs, so he’ll do best in a home with female pups or as the only dog.What He Loves• Sleeping in bed with his person• Snuggling with his foster sisters• Backyard time (especially squirrel watching)• Walks and exploring• Being close to the people he trustsTraining & SkillsBuddy is smart and eager to please. He already:• Has excellent recall (in enclosed spaces)• Knows “sit”• Responds well to positive reinforcementHe doesn’t love crates or being shut in a room, but he’ll happily settle with a frozen peanut butter toy or Kong. He’s also working on remembering that shoes aren’t toys.Who Buddy Is Looking ForBuddy would thrive with someone who wants a loyal, affectionate partner by their side. He’s perfect for someone who appreciates a big, sweet, slightly clumsy dog who will bring warmth and joy into everyday life.If you’re looking for a dog who gives his whole heart, Buddy is ready to be your new best friend. ##2499599##

Story
Meet Frito — Your Adventure Buddy With a Goofy Heart of GoldTwo-year-old Frito has been on quite the journey—from the edge of euthanasia to rediscovering joy, confidence, and his trademark floppy-tongued grin. Now thriving in foster care, this bouncy ball of energy is looking for a committed, experienced home that appreciates progress, structure, and a whole lot of personality.A Goofball With Endless EnergyFrito is an adventurer at heart. He starts every day ready to move, explore, and play. His exercise routine currently includes:• 2–3 fetch sessions per day (his favorite!),• 3–5 miles of walking or running, often more,• And plenty of general play to burn off his joyful zoom-fuel.He is highly play-motivated and has a hilarious habit of carrying a ball everywhere “just in case.” He also sploots at every opportunity, lets his floppy tongue hang wildly, and melts into any human he trusts—once he’s decided you're his person, good luck getting him off your lap.A Confident, Silly, Sensitive SoulFrito is a mix of bold and tender. He can be mouthy when overstimulated or meeting new people, and he can feel uncomfortable with hands reaching over his head or back. He opens up to women a bit faster, but he does well with men too—he simply needs slow intros and patience.He is not socialized with children, and due to his reactivity and mouthiness, he needs a kid-free home.Dog DynamicsFrito is dog-selective. He has potential with smaller, gentle females (like his friend Roo), but he does not get along with larger males. When he was found, he was with a dog buddy his size, so the right match is possible—but he needs slow, experienced introductions and rescue involvement for safety.What He’s Working OnThis boy has made real progress, but he’s still learning the ropes of home life:• Paw handling (he dislikes his feet touched but is improving)• Reactivity on walks (squirrels are still VERY suspicious)• Doorway manners and impulse control• Separation anxiety, which his foster manages with structure and a calm environment• Toy guarding, which has improved significantly—he allows his foster to take balls from his hoard without issueWhy Frito Is Worth ItFrito is the definition of resilience. He is confident, affectionate, silly, expressive, athletic, loyal, and full of heart.His foster says: “He’s an overall great guy, and I’ll be bummed when we don’t get to hang out every day.”Frito isn’t looking for perfection—just someone patient, active, and experienced who can continue guiding him through the world while celebrating every win along the way.If you’re ready for a dedicated adventure partner with a goofy soul and endless potential, Frito is waiting—with his favorite ball and a heart ready to belong.Adopt Frito. Change his story—and let him change yours. ##2412161##

Story
Meet Pinto Pinto is a sweet, complex 4-year-old boy looking for a calm, compassionate home where he can continue healing and building trust. He is currently thriving in foster care and making steady, meaningful progress. Pinto is a charming little low-rider with bowed legs and a big personality. He’s funny, smart, and deeply loyal to his person. Once he bonds, he becomes a devoted companion — affectionate, cuddly, and happiest when he’s close by. He’s still learning and can be anxious and protective, but he responds best to gentle, patient guidance. Personality & Energy: Medium energy Enjoys playtime and short walks (cannot run long distances) Has small bursts of energy throughout the day, followed by rest Loving, expressive, and eager to connect Home & Handling Notes: Very affectionate with his trusted person Uncomfortable with strangers and unfamiliar hands Typical dislikes: nail trims and ear handling Female-only home preferred, or very slow, respectful introductions to men Not suitable for homes with small children Other Animals: Has done well with a cat and shows gentle curiosity Can live with another dog but must eat separately Dog introductions should be slow and thoughtful Training & Medical Notes: Working on potty training and consistency with important commands Past resource guarding has improved with positive, gentle reinforcement Occasionally mouthy when uncomfortable or needing to go outside Currently receiving treatment for medical issues that caused pain and contributed to unwanted behaviors; these are actively being addressed with hopeful progress Right Fit: Woman adopter seeking a close, loyal companion Calm, predictable household Patient, experienced, and comfortable with gentle training Someone who values routine, emotional connection, and trust-building Not a Fit: Homes with small children Busy or highly social households Adopters looking for an “easy” or immediately social dog Pinto isn’t looking for just any home — he’s looking for his person. If you’re someone who understands that trust takes time and believes in meeting a dog where he is, Pinto has the potential to be an incredibly devoted companion. Applications are welcome with the understanding that Pinto will need patience as he completes medical treatment and continues building confidence. ##2396372##
