Story
Hello, my name is Bumblebee! I found myself in a place I never expected to be at my age. At 11 years old, my gentle spirit longs for the warmth of a cozy couch! I don't ask for much, just a chance to spend my twilight years in the comfort of a caring home. If you have another furry friend at home, meet and greets are required. We are unsure how I do around cats. I am hoping to live my golden years out with someone who will shower me with the love I deserve. Swing by and say hello today!*ADOPTION SPONSORED*

Story
Hi, I'm Nana! I may be a granny, but my age only adds to my perfect personality! With a heart of gold, I'm the queen of this castle. My spunky attitude keeps things lively and my love for food keeps me motivated. After all, a queen's gotta eat! However, there's nothing I enjoy more than a good butt rub and head scratch. It's the simple pleasures in life! I may be open to a furry friend who shares my chill vibes and knows how to mind their own business.We aren't sure how I do around cats but staff thinks I may do well. If you're searching for a loyal companion who's equal parts sass and sweetness, look no further. I am your gal!

Story
Hey, I'm Canal! I'm a bundle of energy in need of a little guidance and a whole lot of love. You see, I came to the shelter as a young pup and spent a good chunk of time growing up in a confined kennel. I've come a long way since then and I'm still learning every day. I thrive on regular exercise and could use some help channeling all this energy into positive play. Food, toys, and hearing that I'm a good boy keeps me motivated! I have made canine friends here and definitely like picking out my crew carefully. A home without cats would be best for me. Despite my size, I'm just a sweet, misunderstood love bug who's craving a chance to show you what a wonderful companion I can be. Give this big ol' baby a shot, you won't regret it!

Please read entire description. Archie's adoption fee is waived to an approved applicant. Archie has been in a kennel environment and would appreciate a foster or adopter asap! Please apply at www.pawswapofgreaterlafayette.com/adopting.    Archie is a very cute, good boy who is about 1-2 years old and weighs about 50 pounds. He is a mixed breed and clearly very photogenic. He is a bit leery of strangers at first, but warms up. We would recommend older children for this reason. Archie would do best as an only pet in the home. He has been in the kennel environment for quite a while with no interest, despite his handsome good looks! Archie is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, and microchipped. His adoption fee is waived to an approved applicant. Please apply at www.pawswapofgreaterlafayette.com/adopting.    ##1708740##

Hello, I'm Farin! I've been patiently waiting for my forever home and it's starting to wear on me. I'm a shy boy who just needs someone willing to give me a chance. I appreciate slow introductions to new faces. Some extra love and reassurance would mean the world to me. I can be shy around new dogs but have made a few friends during my stay! We are unsure how I'd do around cats. The staff here love me and enjoys my playful antics! Zoomies and playing with squeaky toys are my favorite things to help me pass time. Please consider visiting with me today and giving me the opportunity I've been waiting for!

Hey! I'm Denver. I'm 3 years old, a Leo, and can't wait to make you my new best friend! My favorite things are exploring new places and wandering a fenced yard by myself or with my person. I'm not a fan of having four or two legged siblings though. When I grow up, I want to be a treasure hunter! My nose is always to the ground. A perfect day for me would include lots of treats, booty scratches, and hours of free roam in my yard. If you're looking for the perfect exploring partner or want someone to walk the fence line while you lounge on the porch, I'm your guy! Upon adoption, Denver will be neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and heartworm tested.

Story
Meet Duchess! Duchess came to us as an unclaimed stray. She was found with her 3 puppies who have all found their furever homes. After raising them, she is ready for her new home! She is estimated to be about 2 years old and a pit mix. Duchess is very friendly and wiggles so much when she sees her people that her body folds in half! After sharing attention with her 3 babies, she would prefer to be the only pet in a home so she can have all the attention to herself! She does get along with most other dogs though and would be okay with another sibling. She loves kids but doesn’t know her size and likes to climb all over her people for attention. She would do best with older or sturdy kids so she doesn’t knock anyone down until she learns she doesn’t need to have be on top of someone to get attention. We have not been able to test her with cats. Upon adoption, Duchess will be spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and heartworm negative. Her adoption fee is waived. If interested, please contact ncisn.at.cc@gmail.com or (765)418-8846 and fill out our adoption application here https://forms.gle/Ny2qURCYic5j4eCM8

Story
Meet Cadbury! Cadbury came to us as an unclaimed stray. He is estimated to be 1 year old and a pit mix. He loves going for long walks (or runs) and playing in the yard. He is young and full of playful energy. He would make a great running or hiking buddy for someone! He gets along with most other dogs. He can be jumpy, likely missing basic manners training when he was younger, and would do best in a home with kids 12+ so he doesn't knock any little ones down. We have not seen him with cats. Upon adoption, Cadbury will be neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and heartworm negative.

Hey, I'm Grizzly! I look like a mini bear myself! With my pointy ears and adorable pout, I've mastered the art of getting treats with just one look. I'll admit, I can be a bit chatty around other dogs. I just can't help but express myself! I'm open for a meet and greet if you share a home with another dog. We are unsure how I do with cats. I'm really just a sweet boy with wants to be loved. If you tell me I'm a good boy, well, that just makes my day! Come by and get to know me today!

Foster or Adopter wanted! This sweetie is STILL available. We don't know how?! This boy has a sparkly personality and loves cats and kids and has a long list of his favorite things.....Please apply at www.pawswapofgreaterlafayette.com/adopting.    Dexter is the most amazing, 4-5 year old, chonky Boxer mix with a nubby tail. He's friendly, happy and can no longer stay in his home due to quarrels with another dog. They tried professional training to no avail. We are seeking a household where Dexter will be the only dog living there, although he can be friendly with other dogs. He seems to prefer to have his family all to himself on an ongoing basis.   Dexter is house trained and crate trained. He doesn't love being in a crate, but does tolerate it. If left out for long periods, he will have occasional accidents, but is not destructive. Dexter would preferably have a physically fenced yard. He does walk nicely on leash.   Dexter's list of loves: Cuddling and being right next to his people (especially on their bed in night). Favorite toy; the Otter. Raccoon is a close second. He loves to watch Scooby Doo when left alone. Greenies specifically the blueberry flavored ones. Dexter lives for belly rubs and likes to show his people things around the house by gently taking their hand and leading them. Warm jackets and harnesses during a walk (but they must come off once back in the house.)   Dexter is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, and microchipped. He will also come with many of his things including his toys, bed, bowls, leash, collar, and harness. If interested in Dexter, his adoption fee is $100. If interested, please complete an application on our website at www.pawswapofgreaterlafayette.com/adopting. One application works for all of our dogs.   ##1943259##
