Meet Fury (formerly known as Nuc by his previous owner), a 53-pound male pit bull terrier mix with a big heart and a playful spirit. Though his exact age is unknown, Fury has lived indoors, is crate-trained, housebroken, and knows commands like “sit” and “drop it.” He’s done well with cats in his previous home, enjoys playgroups with other dogs at the shelter, and loves toys. Originally a stray in February 2024, he was adopted in June but sadly returned in January 2025 due to his owner’s lack of time and finding him too big. Despite his fierce-sounding name, Fury is all about love and second chances. Best of all, his adoption fee is waived, and he comes neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated—FREE of charge!

More about this shelter
The Daviess County Animal Shelter receives thousands of animals annually. Some of them are returned to their owners, some find new homes, but unfortunately some are never placed in a home. This is why it is so important that these animals find new homes.
