Story

I'm Robbie! I'm an older boy, but don't let that fool you - I can still play fetch and chew on tennis balls like a pup. I love being social with my people and getting all the attention from them. It does take me a little while to be comfortable with new people, but once I know you, I am very loyal and affectionate. I'm recently had a break in a foster home and one of my favorite things to do was hang out in the back yard basking in the sun. That's also where my arch enemy - the neighborhood squirrel - would taunt me. He thinks he's so smart up on the fence, but I know I'll catch him one day! I'm also happy to lie around and snooze. My foster dad says I snored, but that it's also very cute. I don't doubt it. My ideal home is a quieter place without children or a lot of new people coming in and out. I would do best in a home without other animals. If you are looking for someone to cuddle up with after spending time outside playing fetch, I'm your guy! The dog you are applying for is working with our canine enrichment department on a specialized training plan. Please carefully read through their information before applying.

Ada

American Pit Bull Terrier

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Hi! I'm adorable Ada girl!When I arrived at IndyHumane, I was so skinny and frightened. I'm slowly gaining weight and becoming a brave girl! I'm looking for an adopter who can be patient with me as I come out of my shell and learn my new surroundings. Because of my age, I'll likely be an active little lady once I open up more! If you have other animals in the home, we request very slow intros over several weeks. Ada has not been cat tested, but she has been around other dogs and can be shy until she warms up. Ada is still learning to share her high-value resources like food and treats with humans and likely other animals. Because of this, Ada is best in a home with no children under the age of 16. A calm, low-foot traffic home would be ideal! Come in and meet me today! I want my forever and a snuggle buddy. Love, Ada girl

Hi! I'm fun girl Lola Bean! I'm a young, active pup who is looking for a home who can spoil me forever!I've played with lots of dogs here at the shelter, so I might pair well with one in the home. I play rough so it would have to be a very rough and rowdy play partner. We always suggest a slow intro with any dogs in the home over several weeks for success. No kitties for me! I will likely fit well into most homes with appropriate exercise and attention. I'm the perfect size - not too big and not too small. I adore human affection, fetch and have so many human friends at the shelter. Come in and meet me today, please!Love, Lola Bean

Zoey is an incredibly happy dog, that loves to snuggle, sun bathe, ride in the car, treats, and to go on walks. She is almost perfect. She has lots of energy but she also enjoys being lazy. She is very “go with the flow”. I adopted her from a shelter when she was approximately one year old. She was found on the street. It appeared she had already had at least one litter of puppies when she was found. She is now approximately 4 years old. She is potty trained and crate trained. She is a great dog, and I will be selective in finding her the right home. Her older brother insists on being the only dog of the house.

Story

Hi! I'm the sweetest little lady Ellowyn!Guess what? Indy Humane treated me for heartworm when I arrived and now, I'm ALL better! I'm a warrior, and I'm good to find my forever home!I'm the perfect mid-sized pup and love cuddles and human affection so much. I'll crawl up in your lap and lean in. I'm likely an ideal movie buddy. I can also do really cool zoomies and love playing with toys and being outdoors. I'm the perfect mix of calm, cute and fun. I walk great on a leash, and I've created quite a fan club here at the shelter of people who adore my sweetness!I can be a bit shy at first and overwhelmed by a lot going on, so I'm not the best fit for little kids or noisy homes with lots of foot traffic. I also am not a big fan of little dogs.I have a chronic skin allergy and will likely need medication through my lifetime to help manage it. Just ask staff what needs to be done!Xoxo,Ellowyn
