Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Our too-cute lil' kitten Ducky has come such a long way! Ducky and his littermates arrived about a month ago and they were so very scared. With a lot of extra effort and enrichment, Ducky has started coming out of his shell and we are in love with him! He isn't so sure about coming out of his kennel, but in his kennel, he is getting to be very friendly and solicits pets with meows, will rub his face on our hands, and even purrs!
Seeing Ducky learn to trust us and start to shine has been so awesome. Quieter toys on strings really pique his interest. You can dangle the toy in front of his kennel and he will zoom out so he can catch it!
Ducky has always lived with other kitties before and we think that it would be very helpful for him to have a kind and welcoming cat in his new home. It definitely is not a requirement, though! If you are willing to play with Ducky and help him build his confidence, we think he'll continue in this great direction!
Since Ducky is FIV+, other kitties in the home should either be friendly, healthy, and UTD on vaccines or also FIV+. A slow introduction is always beneficial to building a good relationship!
When you stop by to see Ducky, we have lots of toys in the adoption room that we're sure he'd love to play with. Give him a bit of time and we know you'll see how fantastic he is. He is about five and a half months old and is neutered.

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.
