Big Mama -not so big any more!

Bulldog Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Female, 8 yrs 9 mos
Indianapolis, IN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Big Mama came to us during a large hoarding case, where we took in 20+ animals. We called her Big Mama, as it was thought she was pregnant, and fed her as such. Turns out, she was NOT pregnant, and had to lose some weight. Over time she has been on a low calorie (supplemented with green beans) diet, exercise, and has lost a lot of weight! She is a stout, friendly, happy girl. She loves everyone, toys, walks, and being next to you. She also loves her crate! Is housetrained when she is able to go out often. Owners would have to stick to her diet and exercise to make her most comfortable.

Bulldog

Female, 5 yrs

Story
Desdemona is blossoming. She’s still learning to trust the world outside—the chaos of loud noises and unexpected sights can be intimidating—but inside, she’s a happy, silly, sweet companion. Whether she’s trotting proudly with the bathroom rug or sneakily collecting shoes, her personality shines through in everything she does. She’s thriving with gentle guidance and playful engagement, showing a strong desire to connect with humans, dogs, and even the resident cat. Indoors, her leash skills are spot-on, and while she might need a little encouragement heading out the door, once in the fresh air she transforms into a curious explorer—unless squirrels or other dogs make an appearance, then she’s off to the races to see if she can make a new furry friend! This girl would absolutely light up in a home with another playful pup to help her grow, explore, and goof off. Desdemona is recommended for homes with kids aged 12 and up, simply because she’s still building confidence in the big, noisy world. Her foster describes her as “sweet”, “joyful,” and “very playful”. Desdemona is proof that resilience comes with wagging tails and hopeful eyes. She’s ready for her next chapter—and it could be with you. If Desdemona sounds like your kind of forever companion, reach out to schedule a meet-and-greet. She's waiting to steal not just your shoes—but your heart.

Bambam

English Bulldog

Male, 4 yrs 5 mos
Speedway, IN
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
BamBam is an approximately 3-year old, 70 lb goofy, loveable dog. Our best guess is an English Bulldog/mastiff mix. He recently completed 2 weeks of board and train, where he excelled. He is a VERY smart dog, and our trainer calls him a "one event" learner. He is incredibly cuddly and sweet, and LOVES to play with toys. He knows a number of commands. He currently lives with a 140 lb mastiff but would likely be happiest as an only dog. He has not been tested with cats. He is overall a very sweet boy who enjoys life indoors. BamBam is both crate and potty trained. BamBam is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm negative, on heartworm prevention, dewormed, and on flea prevention. His adoption fee is $300.

Story
Hiiii from Carl! This handsome boy was found as a stray, he had stayed with his finders for a couple of days where he met a child and did very well. The finder had multiple dogs, some Carl made friends with, the other he did not care for, for that we are thinking Carl may be dog selective or may just need slower introductions over a longer period of time, so that he can warm up at his own pace. We are unsure how he would do with cats. If you are looking for your next binge watching couch potato buddy, come meet Carl at the shelter today!Adoptions are free and include support from our adoption team to ensure a smooth transition from the shelter to your home. Adopted pets are vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed/neutered before leaving with you. To view our current available animals, please visit: https://indy.gov/activity/adopt-a-pet.

Story
Ellie, Mozzorellie, or NFL linebacker are just a few of her names came to us after quite the heist of sneaking out of another shelter and going on an adventure for months. Ellie arrived unsure, overstimulated, planning the next big escape, and not sold that people are actually nice. Over the past year at SOAR, she’s shown incredible progress in all ways. Ellie has never one time had an accident in her room, appears dog friendly, loves all people big and small, but we’re unsure on cats. Ellie is all about speed and playing chicken, she’ll run full steam ahead and ditch at the last second leaving you with soiled undies and a muscle cramp from bracing for impact. You WON’T find better forehead wrinkles, not even at a nursing home. The perfect home for Ellie would be active, older or no children, only dog or bigger dog friends, and if adopting to a house will minimally need a 6ft fully-fenced back yard.

Story
Hi there, I`m Barley! I`m the sweetest boy ever and you`ll definitely want to come meet me! I`m an outgoing boy who needs to get my energy out, but I love other dogs and would love playing with a new friend every day (and would help with getting our energy out!)! I`m not the best in super public settings as I do have a bit of stranger danger! I`m treat motivated so training won`t be too difficult. Take me home and I will love you forever.
