American Staffordshire Terrier puppies and dogs in Indianapolis, Indiana

Meet Murphy – your future best friend! Murphy is a fun-loving, goofy young guy bursting with personality and heart. In one of his photos, you’ll see him standing next to a paper towel roll—yep, he’s a short king with little legs! But don’t let his small stature fool you—Murphy’s got a big personality and can zoom around with impressive speed. He’s got energy to spare and is always ready for the next adventure—or a cuddle session. This sweet boy lives for love and wants to be near his people as much as possible. Murphy might be too much for cats and small dogs, so he’d do best in a home where he can be your one-and-only—or matched with a dog his size after his neuter. Since he’s still intact, he hasn’t had the chance to meet other dogs yet, but he walks beautifully on leash and is eager to learn everything there is to know about being a great dog. With his zest for life and a heart full of hope, Murphy is ready for a fresh start and a forever family who will adore him as much as he’ll adore them. *Adopters must live in Central Indiana, no more than 45 min from downtown Indy *Please visit website for how to adopt: https://sketchymuttsandunderdogs.org/adopt *Please note that we do not operate on a first come first served basis

Meet Panda! This sweet short-rider is a 3 year old pit bull mix looking for a warm lap and a fun yard to play in! She loves to run and play, but when it's time to settle down, she will find a lap and snooze the afternoon away. She does like to play with other dogs and seems like she would be great with kids as she loves all humans! She lived with cats previously, but does get really excited to see them so a slow introduction would be best. She also is crate trained and house trained with a schedule. Panda's adoption fee is $100 and she will come fully vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped. She is heartworm negative and is currently on monthly heartworm and flea prevention. Her adoption fee also includes a one-time training consultation with our training partner, It's a Breeze Dog Training, to help integrate her into your home! If you are interested in meeting sweet Panda, please complete an adoption application through our website - www.helpingpawsonline.com/adoption-application

Meet Bonnie! Ahoy there, landlubbers! Meet Captain Bonnie, the snuggliest pirate this side of the living room. With one eye and a heart full o’ gold, she’s sailed stormy seas, found herself lost at sea as a stray but then luckily washed ashore into a loving foster home, where she’s traded treasure hunts for belly rubs and cannonballs for couch cushions. Like any proper pirate, Bonnie’s got just one eye, but she doesn’t bother with a patch, and she’s not here to plunder your gold or pillage your pantry. No, this sweetheart is on a quest to plunder hearts and pillage laps, collecting cuddles like precious jewels and generously doling out love. She adores kids supervising them from her favorite perch, tolerates calmer cats (as long as they don’t mutiny), and prefers to be the only dog aboard her ship. Other canines? Nay, she’ll send ‘em walkin’ the plank. Bonnie’s days of sailing stormy seas are behind her. Now in the safety of her foster home her hobbies include: lounging like a true couch potato queen, cuddling her crew (especially the wee ones), patrolling for unclaimed pillows, and casting a legendary side-eye at any cat who dares get too sassy. Bonnie’s looking for a forever home where she can live out her golden years in peace and comfort. She’s sweet, playful, and ready to be your loyal first mate. ##2198996##

Kore is approximately 6 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.

Candy is now ready! Here is what her foster tells us: Candy is a sweet, adorable, fun loving girl who enjoys just about everything. Her tail wags all the time, I would not recommend Candy in a home with small children under 6. She is still a puppy with high energy and can easily knock a small child down. She gets excited when meeting new people - she needs to learn that she can’t always jump on people. With that said she knows No, Leave it, Off and Drop it. She usually does the correction the first or second time. Candy does not like to be crated- however she is crated at my house when I’m not home- She will run if she knows she’s going in there- I just pick her up, take her to the crate and put her 1/2 in and give her a nudge to completely go in. She will bark for about 5 minutes then settle down. Candy gets along very well with other dogs and when not playing with the greyhounds, she likes to play with her toys and will play by herself. She does have a habit of wanting to take her toys outside and not bring them back in. She is learning to walk on a leash but could use some more training with that. Candy can be very affectionate as she loves giving lots and lots of kisses. Candy is spayed, vaccinated, heartworm negative, microchipped, dewormed, and on prevention. She is approximately 1 year old and 42 lbs

Meet Violet!! Updated: 2/1/2023 www.animalhousesanctuary.org We believe training is an ongoing process that needs to be worked on daily. New issues that arise, need to be addressed and/or rewarded. Understanding that continued training is a lifetime commitment, is very important. Out-of-state adopters are welcome at the adopter's expense. Meet & Greets are a required before proceeding with an adoption. We DO NOT ship any of our pets.

Meet A! AKA Avery. A has been with us far too long. when her original rescue gave up on her due to basic behavior and energy. We decided to give her a chance and she has not disappointed. Avery is believed to be a 4-year-old boxer mastiff beagle blend. Only upon arriving with us was Avery able to experience what a good home is… and although she lacked experience she has been amazing since day 1. Avery is proud, well-mannered, and quite the lady. Structured, disciplined, and routine along with basic obedience training have transformed this beautiful girl into nothing short of amazing. Avery is still a bit shy at first with new people, timid some, but easily warms up. Avery has the potential to be dog friendly as she is here, but this will REQUIRE time and work until adjusted to her new people and home. However, she does just well all on her own. Sadly She can be sensitive and selective with energy. This is why we say she is best as an only pet, to begin with, and slowly introduce her to a friend, eventually in the future if desired. However, do understand that this may not be feasible and at best she can be happy as an only pet. Avery never learned how to properly interact with other dogs but since with us, she is learning every day. Avery loves the outdoors. Enjoys playing with toys, and makes the perfect Netflix cuddle pup. Avery is simple and easy to please and keep happy. Avery is awesome with the kids she has met and loves their joyful happy energy. Avery dreams of happiness forever to find her and we are hoping it’s sooner than later. She has been homeless her whole life. Avery would make a great apartment or condo living pup with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation, is easy to keep her happy. Basic activity and daily exercise have done wonders for Avery. She is active, but not hyper. She’s playful and learning to play on her own with her toys without destroying them. She is crate trained and housebroken. I feel Avery would do just fine with older children who are dog friendly and well-mannered. Have I mentioned Avery makes the best Bing-watching TV buddy?! She snuggles and cuddles and has no complaints about doing so as we binge-watch our favorite series. Avery knows all her basic commands: sit, stay, leave it, wait, come, go to place/bed, and won’t touch her food unless given the okay (release). She is muzzle trained and we are done great with leash training her off-leash recall is immaculate. Avery needs a committed owner who will continue to build her confidence continues to shape her into the dog she is meant to be. Molded to perfection which she's there already. She is easy! She needs a fully secure 5ft fenced yard and an active hands-on pet parent with endless nurturing and love. Avery enjoys family outdoor activities. She loves swimming, running, power walks, and chill walks too. She has no set mode, she enjoys it ALL! She will follow your lead. She loves car rides and fast food drive-thru☺️ For pup cups. She needs an active outdoor-loving family that will include her in all the fun family adventures, that’s a must! Avery is a goof and at times a dork. She is inquisitive and always happy. Full of joy and seeking to nurture forever love. Avery has become a toy hog too. She completely avoids everyone and fully concentrated on playing with her toys. Avery loves to snuggle as her people enjoy watching tv or just reading a book. Avery needs a person in charge who she can trust and love and feel safe and confident and who will not fail her and only set her up for success. Who can lead her daily and keep her intertwined? Sadly Avery has been homeless her whole life. She has been bounced from rescue to rescue because no one wants a smart active bouncy mutt, who has easily outsmarted most. How is this Avery’s fault? From her medical foster when Avery received ACL double patella surgery (update as of 7/30/2020) Avery did well while crated for the most part. She spent 8 hours alone in a house while crated 8 hr per day. She is capable of breaking out of the crate-recommend reinforcing with locks. She will willingly go back into the crate with verbal commands. Avery will not react aggressively if approached while eating. Avery did well with more active playing in a clean and open garage during the winter months as I am disabled. Avery will remain off the furniture if commanded. Avery can become upset if you are in a different part of the house where she cannot see you until she is unjust and settles in. During the early days, she would bark and drool to anxiety. This has not happened in years. That easily stopped shortly after adjustment. Avery does not want to run in the house she will need to work on this with future owners. She enjoys her small space and comfort from her humans. Avery poops 2 times a day. Once in the morning after eating and once in the evening after eating. She can go up to three times a day. Avery was friendly towards house guests but can be overly excited. She responds negatively (hard barking) towards people walking down the sidewalk while she sits on the front porch asking to greet but is easily redirected. She did not act aggressively while walking in places. She did well In nicely spaced public spaces like open public parks and college campuses and trails. Avery does not like small animals. She sees them outside squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks, cats, etc. Avery does not like large stuffed animals. They scare her. Avery becomes agitated in cars when at a standstill but happy when on the go. This has improved tremendously. Avery does not react to fireworks, sirens, or other loud noises in urban areas and big city noises. Avery did well getting bathed outdoors and indoors. Nail trimming was surprisingly easy (she is amazing). Avery is house and crate trained, up to date on all appropriate core vaccines including lepto, and corona, as well as rabies shot, dewormed, fecal tested negative, microchipped, neutered, and on monthly heartworm flea/tick prevention.

Meet Attica aka Addy! Adopt me, feed me, and never leave me. Attica is waiting for her happy forever family to adopt her. She is active but not hyper, shy and timid and at first unsure so patience will be needed. However, once adapted she is extremely outgoing, and simply just great as well as fabulous. She is great with all dogs of all ages and sizes, cats, and children too but too much wild energy will get her wild side going. After all, she does have Boston Terrier in her. Addy Walk excellent on a leash, house, and crate trained. Macular like a boxer but at most 37 pounds and already fully grown at 24 months old. She loves car rides, is very food/treat motivated, an amazing snuggle buddy too. And a excellent running buddy. Addy has accomplished and succeeded in basic obedience training and is well-mannered but still puppy like with plenty of sass. What more could anyone want? She is a mutt mix and could very well have some Staff mix too. GORGEOUS. Could that be a deal breaker? I hope NOT! If so, you are MISSING OUT! Attica is house and crate trained, up to date on all appropriate core vaccines including lepto, corona as well as rabies shot, dewormed, fecal tested negative, microchipped, neutered, and current on monthly heartworm flea/tick prevention.
