Lakka

American Staffordshire Terrier

Female, Adult

Whiteland, IN

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Lakka is the sweetest girl that needs an owner who can give her lots of love and attention. We adopted Lakka about 4.5 years ago from IACS (she is 6 or 7). We had another dog that she was bonded with who passed away. Lakka would do great in a home with another dog friend. She gets along with cats as well. Lakka has always been protective of my 8-year-old daughter but since she was home with me during a tornado about 2 years ago, she has developed some anxiety. Now she is overly protective and has snapped (never bitten) at not only our neighbor but other children. She may do best in a home without children to worry about protecting. I have had her on anxiety medicine for at least 6 months now. There is no fee and all of her things can go with her. She has a crate, a bed, tons of toys, a food container, and lots of treats. She is a loving dog, potty and crate trained, and she deserves a good home with someone who has the time to focus on helping her work through her anxiety.

Story

> good with indoor cats, not outdoor cats as she becomes prey driven. > good with dogs, would benefit from a meet and greet first. > potty trained but needs let out at least three times a day to prevent accidents. > loves all people and Is only 1 belly rub away from being your new best friend. > Very mild food aggression if any animals try to eat out of her designated food bowl. Not food aggressive towards people at all. > had a cruciate ligament tear inx her knee at some point but two vets have said surgery is not required as it is an old injury that has had scar tissue to grow around it. She gets around just fine and isn’t in pain from it. Will likely need arthritis pain medication in the future according to her most recent vet visit. > she loves soft squeaky toys to play with but must be watched or she will eat them! She will also eat socks if she gets bored so make sure she gets walks and attention and to keep socks off the floor.

Story

Louie is a lovable, 7-year-old bundle of joy who’s ready to fill your life with laughter and cuddles! He’s a master at snuggling and loves nothing more than chasing squirrels in the yard. Louie’s big personality is sure to keep you entertained, and he’s looking for a home where he can enjoy plenty of love and outdoor playtime. He’s house-trained and eager to learn new tricks, though he’s still working on perfecting his leash manners. Louie would thrive in a home with a secure, fenced-in yard where he can stretch his legs and play to his heart’s content. While he’s best suited for a home without small children, Louie’s affectionate nature makes him an ideal companion for someone who has a little patience and lots of love to give. If you’re looking for a loyal, funny, and snuggly friend, Louie is the one for you!

Special Needs

Pax

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Young

Greenwood, IN

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Pax is 1- to 2-year-old neutered male bully breed. He weighs about 55 lbs (should probably be closer to 60 lbs). He was adopted from shelter 8/26/24. His history was unknown. He was found tied to tree. He spent almost 2 months at shelter. He was neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped there. We have two existing adult dogs that Pax was brought into. We attempted to integrate our dogs with Pax very slowly and individually. Unfortunately, there has been aggression from Pax to our existing dogs on separate occasions. He would be best most likely in an only dog household. It is unknown how he would act with cats or small children. With all the above said, he is a smart, sweet, loving, playful and inquisitive dog with many amazing qualities. He loves to be around people and snuggle. He loves to have ‘zoomies’ and run around like a little nut. He is housetrained and gets fed in his kennel. He is a good walker without pulling much with harness. He will only go to a home that will love him.
