My story

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

Hi all! I'm Freddy. I'm about seven years old, am neutered. and am the most tennis-ball-loving Jack Russell Terrier you'll ever meet! I will chase that ball as long as you throw it for me! In fact, I bring it right back to you and am always ready for you to throw it again. And if you have a tennis ball waiting for me while I am fetching the other one, we can keep going and going! I willingly trade one for the other because I love chasing them so much! Trade is a fun game for me!

I'd love to find an adopter who has experience with JRTs. I'm super smart and catch onto things very quickly! The humans joke that I am a big dog in a small dog's body because I love playing fetch so much! I'm not your typical small lap-dog; cuddling really isn't my jam, although I do like to be around people, just not necessarily in everyone's bubble (unless you have that awesome tennis ball, of course!).

I'm looking for an adopter who can teach me structure in a positive way! Like I said, I learn very quickly so if you are patient and willing to teach, I am willing to learn.

A house with older people, most likely teenagers and older, would make me so happy! I think it'd be great to have older people to hang out and chill with. Depending on your resident dog, I may do okay! Kitties are fun to chase for me, which is not fun for them, so no kitties, please!

I love daily walkies and am an on-the-go dude! I would be an awesome pup to take to training and agility. I am so eager to please and have quite the work drive! I'll be waiting for you! Love, Freddy.

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.
