Here's what the humans have to say about me:
If your children need a best friend, Winnie has LOVED her time around kiddos. When she is meeting new people, it may take her a minute or two to get used to adults but she has gone right over to the kiddos to say. It is so super sweet.
When we have had her as our office dog, she is the perfect girl. She will stop by each desk, asking for affection and attention, and maybe a treat or two, then she'll head back to her bed to chew on a bone and will quiet down so we can work. When we are on breaktime, well, so is Winnie! She knows it is the perfect time to place a squeaky toy on our lap and ask us to toss it so she can start a fetch game.
Winnie loves playing fetch with tennis balls, too! The home she used to live in was overall a quieter home, and we think she'd be most comfortable in a similar-paced home. She is playful outside but then calms down and wants to be near you.
At first when meeting new people, she asks for a little bit of time. But if you have a tennis ball or a treat to offer her, she warms up and learns she can trust you. We have loved seeing her develop trust with our staff and volunteers. She is so snuggly and affectionate. Winnie is totally in-tune and has awesome eye contact when you are talking to her. "Aloof" is definitely NOT a word to describe Winnie! Once she trusts you, she is the most loyal, well-mannered sweetheart.
The more we learn about her, the sillier she becomes! She loves to play with tug ropes but is gentle and loves to share them. She is a joy to be around. She also knows how to sit, shake paws, and lay down. We think she may do well with friendly male dogs as she used to live with one but it will depend on the resident dog. She has had very positive reactions to cats at the shelter. She is a little younger than two-and-a-half-years-old and is spayed.

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.
