Winnie

Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 6 yrs 7 mos

Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Winnie is a beautiful pitty girl looking for a particular home. She came to us after being found living in an abandoned van in a junkyard. She was thin and not in the best shape after fending for herself on the streets, She was under-socialized and unsure about people. We were not sure if she would be adoptable. After many weeks working with Winnie, she had her favorite people she was eager to please, but still struggled with more than one human at a time, and showed some nervous behaviors. After consulting with our vet, we decided to try Prozac, which has worked wonders for our Winnie girl! Winnie would do best in a home with an owner who is educated about the stigma pit bulls face in society, and who can make sure she has a spot in their home and family for her entire life anyways. She would prefer an adult only home, without other animals, that is willing to make her the “kiddo” of the family. Winnie does not seem to be a big fan of children and we will not adopt her into a home with children of any any age or regular kiddo visitors. She will need continued training and to stay on Prozac or to consult with your own vet about alternative anxiety medications that can help her continue to live her best life. Winnie loves walks in the world, creek stomping, car rides, snuffle mats, and things she can chew. She has done well here going outside if let out on regular schedule and doesn’t destroy her furniture in her room. She will destroy stuffies and sissy toys with glee. Winnie is looking for a human who wants a loyal best friend that doesn’t have a perfect past, but is committed to a beautiful forever.

Doyle

Mastiff

Male, 4 yrs 5 mos
Indianapolis, IN
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
We rescued Doyle from our local shelter as we suspected an obstruction. He received surgery, in which several things were found, including foam and screws. He has recovered nicely from the procedure and has gained over 20lbs! He has had no interested in eating anything other than food since his surgery. We suspect he was starved, and resorted to eating whatever he could find at the time. Doyle is delightful, friendly and low energy. He has no clue that he doesn't fit in your lap, and wants nothing more than to flop his body all over you in lovings! If you have kids, we would recommend children over the age of 10, as he is a big boy!

Big Mama -not so big any more!

Bulldog Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Female, 8 yrs 5 mos
Indianapolis, IN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Big Mama came to us during a large hoarding case, where we took in 20+ animals. We called her Big Mama, as it was thought she was pregnant, and fed her as such. Turns out, she was NOT pregnant, and had to lose some weight. Over time she has been on a low calorie (supplemented with green beans) diet, exercise, and has lost a lot of weight! She is a stout, friendly, happy girl. She loves everyone, toys, walks, and being next to you. She also loves her crate! Is housetrained when she is able to go out often. Owners would have to stick to her diet and exercise to make her most comfortable.

Kade

Poodle (Standard) Golden Retriever

Male, 2 yrs 6 mos
Indianapolis, IN
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Kade is a one year old Goldendoodle. He arrived at SOAR when he escaped from a new family that purchased him from a breeder. Instead of waiting for him to be safely returned, they bought another pup from the same breeder. One of our partners rescued Kade after tracking his movements over time outside. He was surrendered to the shelter, where we pulled him. Kade likes other dogs, big and small, and has found a best friend here in another dog, Bubba. He is housed with a crew of dogs of all ages and types. We think he would do well with or without another dog. Kade has been around humans of all ages and sizes, and does fine. Because of his experience as a pup, he still sometimes lacks confidence. He prefers a family who thrives with structure and daily/weekly routine, so he knows what to expect and what happens next in his day. Kade would like to be included in family activities, and likes people who are gentle and patient, so he can continue to grow into a confident boy. He is flight risk until he knows his people, so will require a secure and fenced yard. He has been joining our dog walker and does excellently on a leash. He’s very sweet, and once you’re his person, likes to snuggle and gives little small kisses. Kade has done well crated here, and goes potty outside using a crate. Our team has recently started working with him to be left free-roaming in his space as well. Kade requires grooming every 6-8 weeks, so adopters should be aware of that financially.

Simba

Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 5 yrs 6 mos
Indianapolis, IN
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Simba is a 4 year old American Pit Bull Terrier. We pulled him from the shelter two years ago after he was hit by a car, but found his family and reunited them. Unfortunately, he was found as a stray again and in rough shape, so we decided it’s time for him to find a safe home for forever. He likes other dogs, and has lived with dogs that are both large and small. He also has lived with children of all ages, including infants and kids who may not have the best dog manners. Simba requires a low-fat diet, and we have him on GI food. He does ok with occasional regular treats - but his main diet must remain low-fat in order for him to stay healthy. He is very housebroken, has lived in a home before, and is crate trained. He does not like surprise strangers inside his yard or home, and does best when he knows a new friend is present with an introduction. He is extremely treat motivated and favorite treats should be kept somewhere he can’t reach them. He loves stuffies and good runs. Because romps during his outside time are his favorite, and he likes to guard his yard from birds and burglars, he will need a securely fenced yard. We’d be open to a dog experienced family that has alternative plan with lots of exercise if it’s a great fit. Simba is one of our favorite dogs.

Luka

Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Male, Adult
Indianapolis, IN
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Luka is a happy, beautiful and lovable young dog. Are you looking for a dog that would easily be trained? Luka is very attentive to training and highly food motivated. Due to being young, he does have a lot of energy but once that is managed Luka is happy, affectionate, and wants to please. Because Luka is young and still learning his manners he would be best in a household without small children. Luka is just a homebody of dog who is most comfortable lounging around the house and not being a social butterfly. He would love to be someone's ride or die and would be the goodest and most loyal boy. Luka is a wonderful doggo, who is young and still learning to DOG and in need of a patient person to unleash his full potential. His favorite foods consist of just about anything, but especially peanut butter biscuits. As he continues to get older, he becomes more and more willing to please. Luka arrived at the shelter with a leg injury but after months of splints, he is medically cleared for full activity! He can be dog selective, therefore slow introductions and meet and greets would be necessary. A dog that matches his play style would be best. Are you Luka's ride or die? If interested, please fill out an adoption application on our website, sketchymuttsandunderdogs.org **Adopters must live in Central Indiana, no more than 45 min from downtown Indy.
