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!

Michigan City, IN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

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!

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 2 yrs 4 mos
Michigan City, IN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention,
Story
Pearl's wiggles and happiness cannot be contained when she sees people! She is our all-star pup who goes to events and has become the best ambassador pup for the shelter! We would much rather see her in a home and with her new family, though! Pearl is pure perfection. Pearl has done amazing with most friendly dogs! She adores people! She has become our "Shelter Dog Ambassador" to take to events because she is the epitome of a good girl! We think she'd adore having respectful kiddos as her besties! She is one of the best-behaved good girls you will meet. Pearl is pint-sized and is barely 50 pounds. Pearl has spondylosis so she sits a little differently and wears the cutest most adorable diapers, but she also likes to play with squeaky toys and stuffed animals and go on walks like most other dogs! The right adopter for Pearl would be someone who is committed to making sure she stays active but is also cognizant that she does not overdo it. Daily walkies will be so beneficial for her! If there are other dogs in the home, they'll need to be gentle and soft players as Pearl can't be rough-housing or wrestling and of a proper size so they can't pounce on her and hurt her. Pearl is about two years old and she is spayed. She asks for no kitty friends in her new home. Adopt the world's sweetest sweetheart.
