Here's what the humans have to say about me:
You may recognize this good girl. Diamond is back with us at MHS now and she is hoping to find a family who is a perfect fit for her. Yes, she was returned to us, but that is not necessarily all bad! We now know new information that will help us set her up for success in her next home!
Diamond is the perfect companion. She is loyal, loving, affectionate, and is very tuned-in when she is with you. She's an easy-going, lazy, couch potato and is content with a life of leisure! Don't get us wrong, Diamond loves daily walkies, but for the most part she is quite chill.
Diamond's ideal home would be one with a quiet environment. We are basically calling all introverts! Lots of visitors and running around and commotion is not her pace and we totally understand that! So, if you are someone who has a low-key lifestyle and likes to snuggle close to their dog, you may want to come and meet Diamond. She asks for a slow introduction to new people but once she feels safe with you, she is all in. The way that she trusts our staff and volunteers is incredible. She just needs time to learn that new people are just new friends. After she is over that hump, she likes to sit right next to you and ask for belly rubs once she knows you.
She's done best interacting with equally playful and friendly male dogs. Diamond is so people-oriented that she'd also be content to have it be just her. She does ask for no kitty friends. Since a quiet home setting would be best for Diamond, we think teenagers and older is a great option! Diamond is about six and a half years old and is spayed. We hope you see all the love Diamond has to offer. Please come meet her!

Come into the shelter to meet our animals! We find the best way to select a pet is to spend time with them. Sometimes what you expect from a photo on Facebook is not what you’ll find when you meet them. We want you to know the good and the challenging about our animals!
Fill out an application at the shelter. We do not provide applications in advance, because we want you to meet the pet first. Allow yourself fifteen minutes or so to complete the two page application.
You call us the next day for our decision. We review applications during the shelter’s closed hours. Sometimes we will have questions, or you might want to bring your dog to the shelter to see if it gets along with your potential new dog. Once we are all ready, we will schedule an appointment to complete your adoption contract, pay your fees and take your new pet home!
That includes all initial vaccinations (except rabies), spay or neuter if required, heartworm or feline leukemia testing, and flea treatments.

Our adoption process is easy as 1-2-3!

More about this shelter
The Michiana Humane Society provides a safe harbor for 1,200+ animals yearly. Most of these animals are surrendered by their owners who can no longer provide care. We also take in strays, abandoned, and unwanted animals found in our service area. Once here, healthy, non-aggressive animals are assured of our care until we find them homes, no matter how long it takes.
With an annual budget of around $550,000, our caring staff and volunteers provide shelter, food, basic medical care, and vaccinations. Since 2015, 100% of our dogs, cats and rabbits are spayed or neutered before being adopted. We are a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization relying solely on private donations; we receive no tax funds to help with our mission.
Our service area includes both LaPorte County in Indiana and Berrien County in Michigan, but depending on the animal we sometimes adopt beyond those borders.
The Michiana Humane Society & SPCA has been a leader in animal welfare since 1920, when a group of local women in the Long Beach, Indiana area began to collect small amounts of money to care for stray animals. In 1948, the organization incorporated and evolved into the Michiana Humane Society & SPCA, Inc. Over the years volunteers kept the shelter going with private donations and hard work.
The shelter moved to its current location at 722 Indiana Highway 212 in Michigan City in 1997. The shelter was designed to provide plenty of space for our residents, with separate facilities for dogs, cats, and other small animals. A classroom space is used for educational offerings and group activities, and Alynne’s Animal Aid Center, our veterinary suite, provides medical care for the shelter’s animals. Our outside space includes a kennel for dog play adjacent to the building, the three-part Bark Park for meeting dogs, and a three-acre fenced dog park used by the shelter to walk and exercise dogs, and available to the community by membership.
