Story
Maggie is a Courtesy Listing and is not housed at the Animal Shelter. Please note that the City of Bloomington Animal Care & Control accepts no responsibility for this pet. Potential adopters are responsible for communicating directly with the pet's guardian.Maggie is great with people, though a little excitable, she has lived with and played with a 1-3 year old as the toddler has grown up and loves when she comes in to feed her or give her treats. Maggie has had reactive tendencies in the past, especially with other dogs but chases cats as well. Despite her reactive tendency she has successfully acclimated to dogs that she previously was aggressive towards after some time and work. Her best home is probably with someone without other pets or with someone willing and able to work with her to acclimate her. I would not be giving her up except I am moving to Spain where American Staffordshire terriers/Pit bulls are a banned breed.If you would like to inquire into adopting this pet, PLEASE CALL OR TEXT (812) 267-7202***Please contact the owner directly***

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
Psst… don’t tell Mila she’s a senior. She certainly doesn’t know it—and if you watch her in action, you won’t believe it either. Mila still has plenty of pep in her step and a playful spirit that shines the moment you toss her a ball. She absolutely loves a good game of fetch and will happily chase after it again and again, proudly bringing it back to keep the fun going. It’s one of her favorite ways to connect and share her joy. She’s also quite the performer, especially if you’ve got treats in hand. Mila already knows some tricks and is more than happy to show them off. Her signature move? “Shake.” And she takes it very seriously. Mila doesn’t just offer her paw—she makes sure you hold it, turning a simple trick into a sweet little moment of connection that feels uniquely her own. Mila has a lot of love to give and a playful spark that hasn’t faded with age. She’s ready to bring her energy, her tricks, and her signature paw-shake into a home where she can truly shine. If you’re looking for a dog who will keep you smiling, keep you playing, and happily hold your hand along the way, Mila just might be your girl. If you are interested in learning more about Mila, 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/ GREAT NEWS—This pup will go home with a free training scholarship! These fun, positive reinforcement classes are available in-person or online and are super easy to fit into your schedule. It’s a terrific way to build a bond, learn together, and make a smooth transition into your home. *All dogs will be neutered, vaccinated with age-appropriate vaccines, heartworm tested, current on parasite prevention and microchipped.

    Keela is around 2 years old and still all puppy! She’s a very active and smart lady that would like a family that keeps her engaged and out of mischief. She loves treat puzzles and learning new tricks, she’s already learned sit, lay, and rollover! A meet and greet with any companion dogs will need to happen prior to adoption. No kitties please. We require   that you have a fenced in yard, not a "kennel" in the yard AND we do not approve underground fencing. Depending upon the dog some exceptions are made for those who live in apartments.   We also require that the adoptee will be a part of the family "living" within the home. Our adoption process may be found on our website at www.bitofheaven.org Visits are scheduled by appointment only via emailing request to ownedbycaninesandlovit@yahoo.com   March 11, 2026, 12:46 pm

Story
💛 A Christmas Wish from Kingston’s Heart 💛 Hi… my name is Kingston, and I’ve been told Christmas is a time for wishes to come true. So I’m making one of my very own. 🎄✨ I’m a smart, confident Lab/Pittie mix, and I just turned 2 years old. I love learning — treats are my favorite motivator (okay… second favorite after love). I’m very proud that I sit and wait politely before doors open, and I’m always eager to learn new commands. My people say I’m very smart… and I kind of agree. 💛 I do best when I can choose my dog friends carefully, and I’d be happiest with older kids who understand me and give me the space and respect I need to shine. Right now, I’m being cared for while boarded at Bed Bath and Biscuits, but what I truly dream of is something more permanent… a foster home to help me bloom, or better yet, a forever family to call my own. My Christmas wish isn’t for toys or fancy things. It’s for a warm home, gentle hands, patience, love, and a family who sees my heart as clearly as I will see theirs. I promise to give you loyalty, laughter, and all the love my big heart can hold. If you think you could be my Christmas miracle… please consider opening your heart to me. 🎁🐾 Interested in fostering Kingston? Foster👇 https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/FLR-A-900 Ready to make him part of your family forever? Adopt👇 https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FLR-A-900 With hope and tail wags, Kingston 💛🐶
