Diamond

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 6 yrs 6 mos

Michigan City, IN

Size

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

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

You may recognize this good girl. Diamond is back with us at MHS now and she is hoping to find a family who is a perfect fit for her. Yes, she was returned to us, but that is not necessarily all bad! We now know new information that will help us set her up for success in her next home! Diamond is the perfect companion. She is loyal, loving, affectionate, and is very tuned-in when she is with you. She's an easy-going, lazy, couch potato and is content with a life of leisure! Don't get us wrong, Diamond loves daily walkies, but for the most part she is quite chill. Diamond's ideal home would be one with a quiet environment. We are basically calling all introverts! Lots of visitors and running around and commotion is not her pace and we totally understand that! So, if you are someone who has a low-key lifestyle and likes to snuggle close to their dog, you may want to come and meet Diamond. She asks for a slow introduction to new people but once she feels safe with you, she is all in. The way that she trusts our staff and volunteers is incredible. She just needs time to learn that new people are just new friends. After she is over that hump, she likes to sit right next to you and ask for belly rubs once she knows you. She's done best interacting with equally playful and friendly male dogs. Diamond is so people-oriented that she'd also be content to have it be just her. She does ask for no kitty friends. Since a quiet home setting would be best for Diamond, we think teenagers and older is a great option! Diamond is about six and a half years old and is spayed. We hope you see all the love Diamond has to offer. Please come meet her!

Boxer American Pit Bull Terrier

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Nala is in a foster home. Please call MHS at 219-872-4499 to adopt her. Calling all Boxer dog fans! One of our amazing volunteers was curious about Nala's breeds, so she ordered a DNA test...we now know that Nala is: 53.4% Boxer + 27.2% American Bully + 19.4% American Pit Bull Terrier! Talk about three amazing breeds combined to make one 100% good girl! And, oh yeah! Her adoption fee is sponsored to an approved applicant! She is always so wiggly. You would've never guessed she came to us starving and scared. Let's not forget that she has the BEST smile and she is always cheesing so hard that she squints! She is so very sweet and is always so excited to come out and play! We like to describe Nala as an independent gal but also very loyal to people. She would do fine as the only dog but also has done well with other playful pups. Nala has done well with kiddos about 8ish and up. She loves car rides and is always looking out the window. She's such a sweetheart. Nala's ideal family would be one where she can join them for daily walks. She would also love to play fetch with tennis balls because that makes her so happy! She is the best fetcher ever! She also loves sniffing through snufflemats. Nala is a treat-motivated gal! Oh, and another amazing thing about her is that she takes treats so gently. She is about six and a half years old and is spayed.

Hank

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 3 yrs 8 mos

Michigan City, IN

Size

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

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

This handsome hunk is Hank. He is the epitome of a good boy, and has the best manners! He knows how to sit, lay down, stay, come, and is learning how to shake paws! He loves snuggling and has no idea that he is a bigger boy to be a lap dog! He will lay politely right next to you, if asked! Otherwise, he'll be as close as allowed because he is such a love bug. Hank has done well on field trips. He likes to get to know new friends politely before being the snuggle bug we all know he is. In the home, he loves his downtime and thrives when it is more on the quiet side. If you are someone who does not have a hustly-bustly kind of home setting, that is perfect for Hank, too! As far as other furry friends go, Hank does well when he sees dogs out in public! He has adorable play bows and interacts nicely. In the home, though, he asked us to relay that he would prefer it to be just him as the only furbaby. He is the most sweet and loyal boy to his family. He'd love it if everyone in the home was at least teen-aged and up. Hank is a little older than three-and-a-half years old and he is neutered. He is about 65-pounds and is a short, stocky lil' dude!

Flower

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 5 yrs 1 mo

Michigan City, IN

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

"Adoptable Flower's typical day is eating breakfast before I go to work, going out for a short walk/potty-break, then I assume she sleeps in my bed while I am gone! When I get home from work, she is waiting for me at the front door wiggling her little body all over the place. She usually has her squeaky pig in her mouth. We go out for a walk around the yard, then it's time for dinner. She goes out a couple more times before bedtime. I think she would absolutely love to be adopted by a family with a fenced-in yard so she can run around whenever she wants and however fast she wants...unless she is adopted by someone who likes to go for walks and maybe run a little bit, lol. She really is a sweet girl. She likes to be with people. Wants to sit on your lap, but also will just chill on the floor with her toys, too. She definitely likes toys. She is great with my grandkids (about four years and older). She waits for you to tell her it's okay to eat, plus she eats any pills without spitting them out." -Flower's foster mom. Flower welcomes visitors with open paws and has absolutely wonderful manners. She is long overdue and is very deserving of a family to call her own. She asks to be the only furbaby and is waiting patiently to be chosen. She is about five years old and is spayed.
