Story
Hi! I'm beautiful girl Equinox!Like most cattle dog breeds, I need a job to do because I'm so smart! I want to sniff and work my brain daily! I love to be outside - actually, I prefer to walk and enjoy the outdoors over sitting around inside! I will make a great companion for someone who wants an active pup to go, go, go. Having a backyard yard or walking the neighborhood daily is a bonus! I have been spending time in a foster home so there's a lot that's known about me now! First off, I'm super sweet! I have had no potty accidents in the house, so I'm likely potty trained. I like playing with toys and know the command "sit." I get a little anxious if I'm indoors too long, so I need an outdoorsy adopter! Let's adventure together! Because of my cattle dog tendencies, I would do best in a home without small children, cats or small dogs. I do require an intro if there are larger dogs in the home!  Please apply for me soon so we can meet and become best buds! Love, Equinox

Hello there! I'm a cute lil guy looking for my furever home! I came in as a transfer from another shelter, and was taken in as a stray. I might be a little nervous at first but come meet me and see if we are a good fit! I do well with other pets, especially with dogs my size, and I enjoy cuddles as long as I have a blanket around me:) I can't wait to find my new home!

Story
gordon is a sweet and energetic puppy he is about 7 months old We are trying to rehome Gordon for my mother because she has a rottie and as Gordon gets bigger her rottie does not have have the patience or energy for a young dog. Gordon’s parents are both my dogs his mom is a blue heeler and the father is a red husky. Gordon’s siblings were adopted after they hit appropriate age for adoption. Gordon is a sweet dog my mom was hoping her dog and Gordon would get along well. But Gordon is energetic and that doesn’t pair well with a 150 pound dog that wants to cuddle with his mom all day. date of birth-07/30/2023

Birdie is a young gorgeous cattle dog whose owners had to surrender due to allergies. She is fostered with one of our volunteers who is also a dog trainer, and is learning good tricks and manners. She gets along with dogs, cats, and humans of all ages and would do well in any home that understands the needs and requirements of a cattle dog. She is a very sweet and smart girl! Please only apply if you have some experience/knowledge of cattle dog breeds.

Story
Tilly was spayed today and she is now ready for adoption!! Tilly is still young herself, only a year old. She is a loyal, sweet dog. She doesn't like to be left alone, and she is such a great mama to her babies. Ideally, it would be great to see her go to a home with one of her pups, or a home with other dogs. When we first picked up Tilly, she was petrified. We coaxed her into our car in a snowstorm, and sat with her for about 15 minutes before she would take a single step. She has come SO FAR in the last 11 weeks. She is learning how to be a dog in her foster home, and LOVES stuffed toys. She is a sweet and sensitive soul, and her ideal home is one with a lot of positive reinforcement. She needs some work with leash walking, so a fenced in yard would be ideal. Tilly is 42 lbs, spayed, vaccinated, heartworm negative, on heartworm prevention, and microchipped

Story
Archer is one of 9 puppies born on 2/18. He is a curious puppy. He keeps close with his Birth Buddy Arrow. He loves chest and neck scratches like his Momma and loves CHEW TOYS! A few things to know before you apply: They will move into foster-to-adopt homes until after May 1 We know that Tilly (mom) is a heeler/mix and we do not know dad. Our original DNA test had an error in the lab and we are waiting on the second. If approved, $400 is due at the time you receive your puppy. Since they are not yet spayed or neutered, these are foster-to-adopt ONLY. If you decide not to adopt, your $400 will be refunded once spayed/neutered and posted for adoption Spays and neuters will begin at 12 weeks Puppies will have two rounds of vaccines by May 1st. Compliance with vetting for final round of vaccines and spay/neuter is mandatory (we will provide both) All puppies have been exposed to loud noise; including several severe thunderstorms, vacuums and even drums with no real issues.. They each experienced water both in a tub and outdoor wading pool. Each has done decent with nails trimmed and are very comfortable with "health checks" such as touching paws, anal glands and teeth. The foster's cats have been in the room with them but not fully interacted with them. All seem to be interested, but not aggressively.

$1000 reward for anyone that finds or returns Sid to us!! NO QUESTIONS ASKED!! Sid has been missing since June 13, 2022 from his foster home in Indianapolis Indiana from Meridian park 46205 area. Meet Sid! His mom is Clare the cattle dog mix. He is 1 year old and ever so sweet. Super food motivated. Hes about 28 pounds and at most he will be 33 pounds. Sid ended up with us because he was one of nine dogs confiscated in a cruelty case. Sid was labeled feral and needed help to gain trust, confidence being handled. Sid has exceeded our expectations. He is AMAZING and by far the most awesome little guy ever. He is great with all dogs, cats, and strongly believe he will be perfect with pet friendly kids. A fenced yard is a must. An active home who will continue to allow him to experience life. Daily walks, going on hikes and trails, swimming, OMG he loves swimming. He needs a active outdoor activity loving family with at least 1 or 2 playful dogs in the home. He loves, loves loves car rides and every day he gets better meeting and trusting people. Sid is crate trained and house broken, he walks great on leash and is extremely food motivated. Sid is house and crate trained up to date on all appropriate core vaccines including lepto, rabies, dewormed, fecal tested negative, microchipped, neutered, and on monthly heartworm flea/tick prevention. 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.

Story
Scarlett is THE CUTEST! From her curly, striped tail to her sweet, speckled face, this charming chick is simply scrumptious. This terrific 4 year old tail-wagger is spunky spirited, and full of playful energy. Scarlett will sit for snacks and is anxious to learn more. She's currently in a foster home and loves playing with toys and taking walks. She can be a little dominant and possessive around canine friends, so we think she'd do best as an only dog. Scarlett will thrive with an active adopter and daily exercise. Her ideal home will include a physically fenced yard. She does have some anxiety and is currently on a daily medication. This medication will need to be continued in her new home.If you're interested in meeting or adopting Scarlett, please complete an application at: inapl.org/adoption-application. Once it's processed, a member of our team will be in touch with you to schedule a meet and greet appointment. This is the time when you and all members of your household will come to our shelter to officially make your connection with Scarlett.ScarlettAustralian Cattle Dog/Terrier mixFemaleDOB: 6/9/2019Weight: 45 lbs.Heartworm Negative

Hi! I'm Zoey, and I'm looking for my furever home! I have been pretty nervous here, so I am looking for adopters who are ready to be patient with me as I come out of my shell. I had cherry eye repair surgery while I was here! I came into the shelter at no fault of my own, and my previous owners said I am "good with kids, doesn't like loud noises." Come meet me today!

Ivy is a sweet 5 year old Corgi/ Australian Shepard mix. We are in desperate need of a home for her. I am moving in with my mother who has a cat and I cannot take her with me. I took her from a home of an alcoholic that could no longer care for her. Ivy is overweight and on thyroid medication. She is a loving dog that just wants to be petted. She needs good veterinary care with lab draws for her thyroid . Ivy is good with other dogs. I dont think I would trust her with small children. If you are looking for a sweet , fun affectionate dog, Ivy is your girl.

Story
Bird found us about 9 months ago. We have determined he is an Australian Kelpie, might have a little bit of something else, but looks, acts, and has brains of a kelpie. He is a working dog, needs someone to give him a job. He tries to herd the cats in a line, loves to be chased, and he is very strong. Bird is also very protective of the house, no strangers are getting in. He is also very loving. He has been bred to be a working dog, and I feel so bad for him. Our lifestyle really doesn’t work for him. We both work a lot. He needs to be able to get more exercise, and it is about to get worse. We are relocating this summer and I look to have just a lot and a smaller place. When we couldn’t find his owners and a place to take him when he first came to us, we decided to give it a try, but quickly remembered why we never had a dog before. We are definitely not responsible dog owners.
