Story
Penny is an incredibly sweet, food-motivated dog who will learn anything in exchange for a couple of treats. She is crate trained, potty trained, and loves to play with humans and love on anyone who will offer a scratch and a kiss. Penny would prefer a home where she can be the apple of her human's eye. She is deaf, but that does not that slow her down, and she knows multiple hand signals. She loves to go for hikes and to meet new people. Do you have room in your home and heart for this amazing dog? Penny is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and heartworm negative.

Story
Ace came to Speedway Street Department as a stray. After tracking down his owner via his microchip, we learned that Ace has been rehomed 3 times in his short 1.5 years. His first owner loved him very much but was unable to keep him due to breed restrictions. She re-homed him to a friend, who also ran into the same issue. His third owner could not keep Ace contained in his yard, so opted not to reclaim him from animal control. Ace is a WONDERFUL dog, who wants nothing more than to play with toys. He is extremely athletic, and needs a home with a privacy fence. We are recommending him for a home with older kids only, due his size and energy level (he could easily knock over a little one, and then smother them in kisses). He has done well during introductions with other dogs. The jury is still out on cats. In his interactions, he has been extremely curious. We do not believe he would be aggressive, but we do think he may want to play with them, as he thinks the entire world is his toy box. Ace is neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative, on heartworm prevention, and microchipped. Considering Ace for adoption?

Story
Hayley was found as a stray in Speedway. She is approximately 2 years old and 53 lbs. She is the epitome of an American Staffordshire Terrier: loving, full of live, playful, obsessed with humans, affectionate, and STRONG. She loves to be outside and go for walks, and would make a great hiking or running partner. She needs an adopter with breed experience who is also willing to put in a little bit of training. She would do best in a home without small children, as her size and energy could easily knock over a little one. She has not been tested with cats. Look at her heart-shaped nose! Hayley is crate and potty trained, and is also spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm negative, and on heartworm prevention.

American Staffordshire Terrier

Female, 4 yrs 6 mos
Speedway, IN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Kore is approximately 4 years old and such a great dog. She isn't bothered by thunderstorms or fireworks and rarely makes much noise (unless you count her snoring). She knows basic commands thru hand signals because she is completely deaf. She knows how to walk well on a leash and has a ton of energy, which makes her an excellent walking/running partner. Kore is very selective on what dogs she prefers, so she does best as an only dog, but she absolutely loves all cats and kittens, even the ones who don't like her. She is great with kids of all ages, but she does forget her strength so she can be a bit much for smaller kids. She loves car trips and is fully crate trained. She is very trainable and absolutely loves to please her handler. She is very ball-motivated and will play fetch til she's utterly exhausted. She can be a bit of a piglet and she loves mud but she's an absolute dream to bathe and she will stand for you calmly and dries almost fully with one towel. She's a great dog with a super happy-go-lucky personality. A 6' fence will be necessary for anyone interested in adopting Kore.

American Staffordshire Terrier

Male, Adult
Speedway, IN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Majesty is an approximately 4- 6 year old, 57 lb good boy who is looking for a home. You might remember Majesty's story. His owner paid to continuously board him at Puppy Pitstop while in between housing. After two months, she was no longer able to pay and relinquished him to Puppy Pitstop, who called us. Being left in boarding was hard on Majesty, and he now has separation anxiety, which isn't a good match for Majesty's current owners, who work long hours. The cuts on Majesty's face are from him harming himself in a crate while his owner are away. They currently do not crate him while they are gone to protect him, but he is destructive at the door. Yes, we are aware an impact crate is an option, but Majesty would truly be happiest in a home where he is not left alone. Majesty is a wonderful dog. He wants to be your shadow. He was not neutered while at Puppy Pitstop, so he was not part of daycare but did have short, controlled play sessions with other dogs. A meet and greet with any potential dogs would be necessary, as we just don't know enough about him with other dogs to say one way or the other. Majesty is neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative, on heartworm prevention, and microchipped.

Story
Chowder is funny, quick to learn and yet still has challenges like any other puppy. We would like for him to go to a kind, loving home with maybe one other dog or as a single pet family. He gets along great with my children aged 10-12. Unknown for younger ones although he does great with the smaller kids in my neighborhood on walks. Highly food driven but also just wants to be a part of your everyday world. And I mean a serious part because he follows you everywhere😂.

Story
If you're a SpongeBob fan, you know exactly where my name came from! I do love to eat, but I certainly don't eat everything in my path! Contrary to the Alaskan Bull Worm in Bikini Bottom, I am actually a very nice guy. I am a wiggly dude who loves everyone that he meets. Though I am a big guy at 70lbs, you will quickly realize that I am 70lbs full of love! Somehow, I ended up as a stray, so the past is a mystery. I love playing with toys and zooming around the yard. I hope that you will take the time to come and meet me... I promise you won't be disappointed! Until then, I'll be here waiting for you eating my crabby patties.

Story
Skip! Hey, hi! Remember me from mid summer....a last, no THE literal last second save him from euth? Well, ladies and gents.....here he is and he's waiting for his forever!! His former... um.. "people"... tied him up to a pole and left him after hours at IACS intake The shelter can be scary and it was hard for him to adjust. He became even more sad. But shelter friends reached out and the ranch rallied hard, transports, fosters and trainers stepped up and well..... would ya just look at him now!! Mr handsome here is 2 years old, 50-60. Super soft, peep that bullhead marking on his back He loves to play! Frisbee, zoomies with or without you, keep away, hide and seek, all the fun stuff. He's an active boy! But he sure loves his snuggles too. Good on leash Good in car Does well with other dogs, but could easily be your only. No cats please...they no fun He adores his people once he warms up....he can be a tad shy at first but hey, who can blame him. Fully vetted, healthy boy, up to date on everything and neutered. Skip needs someone that will go slower with him until he gets settled and comfortable. This boy is a thinker and you can see it in his face when he's working something out in his head. Someone to provide a confidence boost and that will continue to allow him to grow into his best self!! Could it be you? https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FLR-A-534 Share share share.

Story
This sweetie is Niko I'm 6 months old I know my name and listen very well for a young guy I just love all people, big and small! I'm friends with every dog I meet. I would like a fur sibling if possible but I could have my people all to myself too. I'm housebroken I like walks! I like to take my time and soak in the outdoors. I'm not the biggest fan of a crate because it keeps me from loving on my people so I may cry a few minutes but then I'll lay right down and wait for you to let me out to love on you. I hope your couch is ready for me because I'm a cuddly pup and I really love our time relaxing I can jump a baby gate so 6ft fence will keep me safe I will wait patiently for my food and sit for a treat! If you want to meet me, go ahead and fill out an application! https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FLR-A-594

Hi! I'm Mr. Congeniality - Slinky!The whole shelter just adores me for my wiggly and fun personality! I love to do little hops, play with stuffies and be goofy! I'm always up for a walk and human attention! I would likely fit into most homes as long as I have some daily exercise and love. I'm way past the puppy phase and am a mature gentleman! I walk wonderfully on a leash, but I also enjoy a good cuddle session. I might even pair well with an easy going dog. An intro is required to make sure we're pals!Come in and say hi! I bet I'll make you laugh! Love, Slinky boySlinky's adoption fee has been sponsored by Hensley Legal Group to help him find his Fur-Ever home.

Hi! I'm Momo! Man, have I had bad luck! I'm a good boy who deserves his FURREVER home, and the staff and volunteers have spoiled me since I've been here! I need the BEST home who will give me daily walks, lots of attention and treats! My finders said I did well with their kiddos in the home, so I might do well with kids! I'm very nervous of other dogs, but if you have one in the home, let's meet first to see if we would get along. I have the cutest smile and adorable walk. And I love playing with toys! Come see me soon! I'll woof at you until you get me out of my kennel!Love, Momo
