Story
Meet Rocco! This handsome and charming boy was found as a stray and never claimed. He is currently in boarding and is looking for a foster or forever home. Rocco is estimated to be 4 to 5 years old and weighs 50 lbs. He absolutely loves people- playing with them, cuddling with them- he enjoys it all! Rocco does well with other dogs, but seems a little too interested in cats. He is strong and would do best with a family that can provide activity for him. Rocco is neutered, current on vaccines, and negative for heartworms. If you have room in your heart for this gorgeous guy, please get in touch with us! Thank you for your interest in adopting from HMF.  All of our pets are spayed/neutered, current on vaccinations, microchipped and otherwise healthy, unless noted in the description.  Our adoption area is within 50 miles of Franklin/Bargersville, IN.

Story
🖤 Draco is ready for his forever 🖤 Draco is looking for an urgent foster or adopter! 🙏🏼 Draco isn’t only the loyal dog everybody wants, but he is determined to be your best friend for life no matter what. Dogs never seem to fail humans but yet so many are failed by owners. Draco is ready to have a furever home where he won’t be failed! Draco is a great dog who loves to snuggle on the couch with his person and give you plenty of kisses. He enjoys running outside and playing with his abundance of toys. He also enjoys a big backyard to run in when he gets the zoomies. Unfortunately many would look past him because of his coloring, but I think it makes him stand out even more. I have truly enjoyed taking care of this precious soul, he is such a joyful dog and will make someone very happy! He is hard of hearing so when you want to get his attention I either squeak a toy or I wave to him to come. This treat motivated boy will make the perfect dog for someone who is willing to give him the chance he needs. Quick facts ⬇️ •5 year old male pitbull •Dog friendly; cat selective •Fully vaccinated, microchipped, and fixed •Hearing impaired •Energetic and loves jolly balls •Loves to snuggle 📝 Foster application: https://form.jotform.com/secondchancespetsanctuarytx/Second-Chances-Foster-Application 📝 Adoption application: https://form.jotform.com/secondchancespetsanctuarytx/Second-Chances-Adoption-Application 📍 Currently being fostered in Fort Wayne, IN Foster or adopter in the Midwest needed!

Story
Meet Georgie – Your Future Couch Cuddle Buddy!He is a 1 year old, 49.8 pound, APBT mix that was surrendered to the shelter. Georgie is a goofy, gentle soul with a heart that’s just looking for the right place to call home. After a rocky start in a chaotic environment, this sweet boy is finally starting to show his true colors – and let us tell you, they’re absolutely lovely.Georgie was originally found as a stray by his previous owners, who kept him for about five months. During that time, he lived in a very busy household with 7 other dogs—including 4 small ones—and 10 special needs children. It was a lot for a young dog to handle, and Georgie became understandably overwhelmed. He didn’t like sharing his food or toys and was constantly on high alert around the other dogs.The decision to surrender Georgie came after a difficult situation: some of the smaller dogs began attacking his legs, and Georgie, having been pushed past his limits, tried to defend himself. In an attempt to break things up, the owner laid their full weight on top of him—startled and frightened, Georgie reacted by biting. It was an unfortunate moment, but one that made it clear he needed a calmer, more structured environment to thrive.When he first arrived at the shelter, Georgie was very nervous and unsure of his new surroundings. During his 10-day bite quarantine, our team focused on helping him feel safe—and it wasn’t long before he became a staff favorite! With time, patience, and one-on-one attention, Georgie began to blossom into the sweet, sleepy, and silly boy he truly is. He walks beautifully on leash, takes treats gently, and loves hanging out with his favorite people.Georgie is now ready for a fresh start. He’s looking for a calm, predictable home—no small children, please—and may enjoy the company of a respectful dog friend who gives him space. What he really needs is someone patient and understanding, willing to offer him the second chance he so deserves.Despite his past, Georgie is all heart. He’s ready to trade shelter life for soft beds, peaceful mornings, and a loving home that sees the good boy he is.?? Could you be the calm to his chaos, the safe place he’s been waiting for?We do all adoptions with approved applicants by appointment only.

Story
Meet Dalacha! This adorable 2-year-old, 66-pound APBT mix may have been a little shy when she first arrived, but she’s been warming up and showing off her sweet, playful side. Dalacha absolutely loves her squeaky toys and will happily prance around with her favorite stuffy in tow.She can still be a bit unsure of new things and sudden movements, and she’s a little hand-shy at times—but with a slow, gentle approach, she’s perfectly fine. Dalacha is as cute as they come and has so much love to give to the right person. If you`re looking for a gentle, playful pup to spoil with all the toys and patience she deserves, Dalacha just might be your perfect match! ??We do all adoptions with approved applicants by appointment only.
