Story
Meet Cruiser! Cruiser is an 8-year-old, 72.8-pound APBT mix who found himself at the shelter through no fault of his own. This laid-back gentleman is housetrained, crate trained, and was said to do well with both kids and other dogs in his previous home. Right now, Cruiser is a bit nervous in the shelter environment—it’s a big change for a sweet, mellow guy like him. He allows handling from staff and is slowly starting to settle in. Out in the play yards, he begins to relax and show glimpses of his soft, loving personality. Cruiser may be quiet and unsure right now, but we can already tell there’s a big-hearted dog waiting to shine. He’s looking for a calm, patient home where he can feel safe, loved, and finally show the world who he really is. We do all adoptions with approved applicants by appointment only. If you are interested in adopting, please contact us via FB Messenger or email us at jcasreception@johnsoncounty.in.gov for an application. You can also find one on our website at http://johnsoncountyanimalshelter.com/adopt /. Once an application is submitted and approved, we can set an appointment to meet the pet!

Story
Don’t let Rome’s age fool you — this boy has plenty of pep in his step! With tons of spunk and a playful spirit, he’s proof that age is just a number. Rome loves to show off his tricks (his “shake” is a crowd favorite!), enjoys chasing toys, and is always up for a good game of tug. When the games are done, Rome is all about the love. Belly rubs, ear scratches, snuggles — he soaks it all up and gives it right back with the kind of sweet devotion only a seasoned dog can offer. If you’re looking for a best friend who’s equal parts fun and affection, Rome is ready to shake your hand — and your heart. If you are interested in learning more about Rome, please call 812-988-7362 or submit an adoption application at the link below. After the application is received, an adoption counselor can reach out to you directly. https://www.bchumane.org/adoption-application/ October 3, 2025, 1:31 pm

Kylie is a very sweet boy. He was given to my son at 4 months old as a gift. He is pure breed. He is a house dog. He is trained to go in the backyard to use the bathroom. He will let you know when he has to go. He is very good with kids, adult and other dogs. He is very spoiled. He sleeps with my son. He loves toys and will come with his favorite toys. He likes to play fetch and loves being rubbed. He requires alot of attention. I work alot and cant give him the attention he deserves. I want him to be with a family who has alot of time for him. He does great with other dogs, so it would be nice if the family has other dogs for him to play with and children. He has never been aggressive. His birthday is Christmas eve. He will be 2yrs old.

Story
Meet Ellie! Once upon a time, in a land of squeaky balls and soft blankets, there lived a noble low-rider named Ellie. With the stature of a house hippo and the heart of a seasoned couch commander, she rules her domain with sass, snuggles, and a strict no-stranger policy. At seven years old and 75 pounds of pure personality, Ellie has mastered the art of lounging. Her days are spent on the royal cushions, galloping like a bunny when the sacred kibble arrives, and engaging in solo jousts with her beloved ball. She is known throughout the realm for her dramatic food dances. In fact, rumor has it she once did a full pirouette for a scoop of chicken-flavored kibble. But Ellie is no fan of visitors in her kingdom. Should a stranger breach the castle gates, she must be secured in her crate tower as one never knows if a visitor might actually be a horrific dragon in disguise. Her ideal kingdom is quiet, predictable, and ruled by one or two wise humans, and if they have a few older squires who understand the ways of cautious ladies that would be fine too. But young squires still in training are not for this lady. She prefers her people close, her cats far away, and her canine companions carefully vetted through diplomatic sniffing. Though she’s set in her ways, Ellie is loyal to her chosen few. She walks well on a leash, naps like a pro, and will happily binge-watch your favorite series while offering commentary in the form of gentle snores. She’s crate-trained, house-trained, and emotionally trained to know that food is life, balls are joy, and strangers are suspicious. If you seek a steadfast companion with a royal sense of humor, a deep love of snacks, and a heart that blooms slowly but beautifully—Ellie awaits your summons. When I’m done with my ball, I’m perfectly happy to cuddle with you on the couch. I get along with some dogs, others not so much, so I’d definitely have to meet any dogs you already have. I don’t think I’ve met any cats, but I don’t think I’d be a fan. I also do well with older kids as commotion just isn’t my thing. I’m pretty set in my ways and really just like my people. I enjoy cuddling and lounging around the house. I'm great in my crate but could also be left out as I would probably just sleep while you’re away. I do also enjoy going for walks! I love being outside as long as you’re out there with me. If you enjoy binge watching Netflix and going for an evening walk, apply to meet me today!
