My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi MHS friends, my name is Libby. My human friends here tell me that I am the prettiest dilute calico in the whole wide world! They also tell me that I have every single characteristic that would make me someone's very best friend. And one more thing that they tell me is that my adoption fee is sponsored to an approved applicant! Okay, now onto some more fun things...

I love Churu snackies. I am the daintiest girl and I am very polite when you are giving me treats. I love naptime on my cozy kitty bed. If I get to curl inside my hut, I feel so safe and have the best nap ever. But when you come to visit me, I like to come to say hello to you! I'll chirp a little bit in hopes that you understand I am asking for affection and back rubs.

My ideal home would be a quiet one. If you are an equally quiet person, we would be perfect for each other. We could enjoy the calmness and be the object of each other's affection. At the shelter, I am kind of reserved when there are lots of people around. When the room empties, I love to hop out of my kennel and explore! I really enjoy being out and about with just one or two people around.

I love catnip. I also love soft, fluffy kitty beds. When you come to spend time with me, I would like to get to know you, then once we are friends, I will ask for chin scratches and your company. Please come to meet me. I would come to meet you, but that just isn't how it works here! I am about nine and a half years old and I'm spayed. Love, Libby.

Additional adoption info

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

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!

Adoption fees are:

Puppies (6 mo. & younger) - $195
Adult dogs - $145

Kittens (6 mo. & younger) - $95
Adult cats - $70

Rabbits - $50

Guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils - $25

That includes all initial vaccinations (except rabies), spay or neuter if required, heartworm or feline leukemia testing, and flea treatments.

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.
