Story
We picked Koda up as a puppy from a farm in NC back in 2019. He has grown to the most handsome and loyal good boy. He loves following commands, being walked and chasing sticks around the yard. He has gone through professional training with an Ecollar which will be included with adoption. We can no longer keep Koda due to him being reactive with our 1.5 year old toddler and us planning to have more babies. He is best suited in a home where he can be exercised and played with on a regular basis. It takes him some time to warm up to strangers and especially other dogs. He shared a home with our other large mix breed female dog his entire life.

If the dog had additional medical issues, those have also been addressed. Visit our website www.waldosmuttleycrew.org for more information and to complete an application. Ogden, or Oggie Doggie as we like to call him, has such a zest for life!!! He loves people and attention ... armpit scratches and ear rubs are a favorite of his!!! Oggie is a 2 year old treeing walker coonhound/pointer mix weighing about 65 lbs. He LOVES to play with other dogs and is constantly involved in games of chase and wrestling. He is slightly dominant with males so, although he does play with other males well, would do best in a home with a playful girlfriend. Oggie is high energy so needs a large yard with at least a 5 foot fence; he can easily jump over anything shorter and will do so if he spots a bunny. He loves toys but is a "slayer" of the stuffed ones; they then have to be buried in shallow graves in the yard. LOL! Ogden is sure to keep you laughing with his antics; he has such a huge personality! His perfect home will be one where he won't have to be crated for long hours, a large yard with a 5 foot or higher fence, and must have a very playful female dog to be his best friend. Oggie Doggie's adoption fee is $225; he's neutered, microchipped, current on vaccinations and monthly heartworm/flea preventative. Applications are available at waldosmuttleycrew.org .

Story
Taffeta & Chiffon go together like apple pie & ice cream! These two are sisters from different litters; they came from a hoarder who had over 60 dogs in the home. Taffeta has the lighter colored face and is 1 1/2 years old; Chiffon has the darker face and is about 1 year old. The girls are a mix of about 5 breeds ... chihuahua/jack russell is what we will list but those round ears are definitely corgi like! And there may be a smidge of dachshund in them as well. Taffeta & Chiffon are just a hoot!!! They are constantly wrestling & rolling around & tearing around the house in games of chase. When they tire of these antics, they are the absolute best snuggle bugs ever! They wrap themselves up around your neck and cuddle in as close to you as they can get. They give the softest, gentlest kisses as well! The girls are still lacking in socialization with people and will bark at strangers; they will need patience and calm training in order to learn that newcomers are not a threat. For this reason, they would not do well in homes with children 16 and under. Taffeta & Chiffon will also need a very secure fenced in yard in which they expend some of their energy. With their fear issues, walking daily on leashes would be too much for them at this point. Chiffon has a "cherry eye" which is scheduled to be removed at the same time as her spay on October 20th. We are only placing the pair with local adopters so that we can assist with integration and socialization for the girls. The adoption fee for the pair is $400; they will be spayed, microchipped, vaccinated and current on heartworm/flea preventative. (Indianapolis area)

Story
Cashmere is such a fun-loving girl! She LOVES water and a pool is really must for this girl in the summer time! But she also enjoys racing around the yard with her boyfriends. She does like to the "girl in charge" and can be quite bossy with other females so will need to go to a home with an active male dog to keep her company. Cashmere came from a hoarder situation with over 50 dogs in the house so has never lived without other canines around so being an only dog won't be an option for her. Although slightly tentative in new situations and with new people, she warms up quickly and just loves getting attention. She is ecstatic when you pet her and tell her how smart she is. Cashmere is a high energy girl so a fenced in yard is a must so that she run and play with her new boyfriend as much as she wants. She does well on a leash with an occasional need for gentle coaxing if she is entering a new environment, llke entering the vet's office. Cashmere's adoption fee is $200; she is spayed, microchipped and current on vaccinations and heartworm preventative. Applications can be completed at waldosmuttleycrew.org . (Indianapolis area)

She's a fine girl!!!! What a good pet she will be!!! She's a 5-6 year old boxer/lab/pit bull mix, weighing about 65 lbs, who's Mom ended up in a nursing home. Brandy's mom had no friends or family so Brandy was her mom's only loving companion for 5-6 years. It was devastating for her Mom to be forced to relinquish Brandy, obviously. And traumatic for Brandy as well. Thankfully, Brandy, despite having never been around dogs, has shown that she absolutely loves playing chase and doing zoomies with her foster dogs. She can play a bit rough because she sure doesn't her age! Brandy still has quite a bit of energy and acts more like a 2-3 year old dog. She does have some separation anxiety due to the trauma of being taken from her Mom and also due to the fact that her Mom was with her 24/7 . She doesn't tear anything up when her foster mom leaves but wouldn't be happy left alone 9-10 hours a day. Brandy deserves the MOST PERFECT HOME!! Don't you agree?? The ideal home for BRANDY will be one with a large 5 foot tall or greater fenced in yard, a 40 lb or great playful dog, and where is someone is home the majority of the time. Brandy is a HUGE talker and expresses her opinion quite often! It's so often! She vocalizes when she wants attention, when she wants to go outside and when she wants to play. And she is so loving & affectionate! What a fabulous personality this sweetheart has!!! Brandy's adoption fee is $225; she is spayed, current on vaccinations, microchipped as well as kept on monthly heartworm/flea preventative.

Story
Laszlo & Cassidy are a bonded pair and are volunteer favorites! Laszlo is a 5-year-old Corgi mix who weighs about 20 lbs. Cassidy is a 3-year-old terrier mix who weighs about 40 lbs. This duo will have your ribs hurting as you laugh at the fun when they are wrestling, playing chase and doing zoomies around the yard. Cassidy is a social butterfly and is always the first one to greet people at Waldo's Dog Dorm. She just thrives on attention and wants tons of loving. She's a very active girl who needs plenty of room to run. Cassidy loves toys and is fabulous with all other dogs and people. She was dumped at a kill shelter which is where we saved her. We have found that she becomes very anxious and fearful around children younger than 10 years of age; this has led us to believe that in her original home there were young children who didn't respect her space and pulled her fur/tail and traumatized her which is likely the reason for her being left at the shelter. Laszlo was a stray who survived at the Morgan County Fairgrounds from the time he was 6 months old until he was finally trapped at 18 months. He was totally feral when we got him and avoided people at all costs. However, this wonderful boy has learned that chest rubs and ear scratches are heavenly; Laszlo won't take treats until he is massaged and scratched; touch is his "love language" ... he craves it more than treats. Laszlo does still need continued rehabilitation after the trauma he experienced during his first year and a half of life. A quiet, loving, patient home with few visitors will be necessary for him. Because of his experience of having long choke tethers on the end of metal poles on him by animal control officers, he is still very fearful of leashes/harnesses. We will provide training techniques to whoever adopts him to help with this, but it's doubtful that her will ever be comfortable taking walks on a leash due to this past trauma. Both of these dogs have so much love to give. What you invest in them in time and love will be returned in spades! Their playfulness along with their love of being massaged & rubbed make them such wonderful family members who will bring smiles and joy to whoever adopts them. Their perfect home will have a VERY SECURE fenced-in yard, no children under 16; as well as a calm, peaceful environment with experienced dog owners who provide positive reinforcement and lots of praise. Whoever adopts Laszlo and Cassidy will be very lucky indeed! The adoption fee for the pair is $325; both are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped and kept on year-round heartworm/flea preventative.
