Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
You wouldn't think as much personality and joyfulness could fit into a wiggly and happy 32-pound, 8-month-old good girl, but Juniper is proof that it can! She is so lovable and believes she is a lap dog! Snuggling seems to be a part of her DNA! Juniper has done quite well with dogs who are playful and neutral! When she's seen dogs who are happy-go-lucky, she mirrors their happy-go-luckiness! We've noticed her preference is handsome male dogs! If kiddos in the home are about 8ish and up, we think she'd love to be their fursister! Going for walks and car rides, cuddling, and running are a few of her favorite activities. Tennis balls and stuffed animals are her choice of toys but blankies are always #1 in Juniper's mind. She loves them! She's such a smart girl! Juniper knows how to sit, lay down, come and stay. She also is a great fetch-player! A home without kitty friends would make her happiest! Juniper is spayed; come adopt her!

Story
"Ahh, Miss Nancy. She tries so hard to be such a good girl, and has learned so much in the few short weeks she’s been with us. Nancy joined the Michiana crew as a stray and has been working to gain some much-needed weight. She has been getting medicated baths to treat a few skin issues (which have greatly improved!). Her fur is SO shiny now! Nancy is the biggest couch potato, and with the colder days, she is happiest snuggled into a pile of blankets. She is silly, sweet, and so willing to learn. Nancy has worked very hard to understand how to be gentle when taking treats and toys to play. She can get a bit over-zealous, but with a quick reminder to “wait” and “be easy”, you can see the light bulb turn on. She will sit for hours playing with chew toys, like Kongs, and seems to be on a mission to rid the world of the squeakers in stuffed toys, lol. Nancy loves to be the center of your attention and wants to be wherever you are. She soaks up every ounce of affection and belly rubs she can get. Nancy is quite the hugger! She likes to hop up politely, wrap her paws around you, and gives the tiniest kisses. She has the funniest creeping sit/stay when treats are in sight! She will sit with a snap, and then scoots her lil' tush closer with each backward step you take. When treats are absent, Nancy will sit and stay like a champ. Nancy will prefer to be the only pet in the home and has mixed reviews regarding other furry friends. Nancy is usually vocal as people enter the house, but as soon as she sees who it is, she comes to say hi as the welcoming committee and gets all the pets. Nancy is continuing to learn about boundaries and good manners and will need patience as she builds her confidence and tries to understand what you want from her. She is so willing to learn and craves that “good girl” approval and reassurance." -Nancy's foster mom. To adopt Nancy, please email us pets@michianapets.org. She is about two years old and is spayed. She weighed 45 pounds when she first arrived and now weighs a healthy 57 pounds! She's just the best good girl. Please adopt Nancy.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
If Jersey sees you, Jersey considers you a friend. She will greet you with the happiest face and the fastest wagging tail. Tiny, gentle kisses on your hand and numerous attempts to snuggle will also be a part of your introduction to Jersey. She's a petite gal and is only about 47 pounds! Jersey is just around one year old so she is at an awesome age! She's so fun and energetic but also is snuggly and loves to work for treats. Time with Jersey always leaves us feeling happy and content. We think Jersey would do amazing with both friendly dogs and kitties in the home! With a proper introduction, of course! Kiddos about 5ish and older would be so lucky to have her as their fursister! We could see Jersey being so excited for daily walkies with you and then being even more excited for snuggles during nap-time. Her kind, sweet personality is one of the best. Adopt Jersey!

Story
If you like adventures and are hoping to find a dog who equally loves adventures...Zac is the good boy for you! He is such a well-behaved car rider, too, so that makes him easy to take along with! Zac loves to just be near people. And one of his favorite things is to sit and relax on a couch with his toy. Zac takes treats so politely and he knows how to sit, too. In his previous home, he was an A+ student with being house-trained as well as not being destructive when he was left alone. And talk about being an awesome furbrother! Zac has lived with respectful kiddos and other furry friends, too. We are getting a better idea of his behavior with shelter dogs and cats but think he could do quite well with each given a proper introduction. Zac weighs 59 pounds, is about three years old and he is neutered. He is the sweetest prince!
