Story
Meet Biscotti Bean!A 58lb, 15-month-old male Australian Shepherd with a heart as big as his fluffy, speckled coat. This sweet boy was found running loose, covered in burrs and in need of some TLC—but even then, he greeted everyone with a wagging tail and bright, trusting eyes.Biscotti Bean’s friendly personality shined even brighter at the shelter. He loves people and seeks out human affection every chance he gets. Whether it’s leaning in for pets or happily plopping down for cuddles, he’s happiest right by your side.While Biscotti adores humans, we have noticed he can be a bit timid around the other dogs at the shelter. The noisy, fast pace environment can feel overwhelming and intimidating for him, so he tends to stick close to the people he trusts.Biscotti Bean is a high-energy young Aussie- he loves to play, explore, and stay engaged, and he’d be an amazing match for someone who enjoys an active lifestyle and is excited to give him the exercise and mental stimulation he craves.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.

We are looking for a special person, preferably who has experience with a blind pup and Is willing to discuss and work with him.

He knows his crate is a safe place and gets very comfortable. He loves to run and play in the yard. He will be some work for the right individual who can help him blossom.  Link is medium in size, he has grown more than expected.CARE's adoption process is done by the applicant using their cell at the adoption meeting to access the Shelterluv platform to agree to the adoption contract and pay the $250 adoption fee by credit or debit card. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 2, 2025, 9:07 pm
