Story
Lilly is now living the life of luxury, as every princess should. She was rescued from a terrible backyard living situation where life was a challenge. Will continue Lilly's lavish lifestyle? She is crate trained, so she can easily be left alone. She does have a little separation anxiety, but that is because she just loves to be with people. Lilly is very friendly and adores people. She is tolerant of cats and other dogs, but as always slow introductions are always required. Lilly does tend to guard her sleep area, but what princess doesn't need their undisturbed beauty sleep? Speaking of beauty sleep, Lilly loves to cuddle under the covers as her favorite past time. Will you be the one to cuddle with her? *Adopters must live in Central Indiana, no more than 45 min from downtown Indy *Please visit website for how to adopt: https://sketchymuttsandunderdogs.org/adopt *Please note that we do not operate on a first come first served basis.

Are you looking for a “man’s man”, Look no further than Kong! Kong is a beefcake of a dog and despite his size, is convinced he’s a tiny lap dog. Kong loves short walks to the food bowl, WWE style wrestling matches, pretty ladies, and FOOD. Kong does well with other dogs, children (although they should be pretty sturdy), and we’d be willing to cat test.

Story
First and foremost, Bones loves people! He ESPECIALLY loves all the scratches and cuddles they give him! Bones does have A LOT of puppy energy but is smart and eager to please, so would do great with some training. He is a big guy who can be jumpy and mouthy, so he may be best suited for families with older children. Though he has met small children and did great! He is working on potty training and can typically go about 6 hours without a bathroom break. On walks he notices other dogs and cats but doesn't pull or bark. Squirrels on the other hand.... *Adopters must live in Central Indiana, no more than 45 min from downtown Indy *Please visit website for how to adopt: https://sketchymuttsandunderdogs.org/adopt *Please note that we do not operate on a first come first served basis.

Bambam

American Bulldog

Male, Adult
Speedway, IN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with dogs, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
BamBam was found as a stray in Speedway and brought to Speedway's animal control. During that time he did great with other dogs and humans in a controlled setting. He loves to play and knows some commands, like sit. He would do best in a home without other dogs at this time, as he compulsively likes to hump other animals, and doesn't listen to corrections from the other dog. While this behavior may go away with time (he was neutered on 8/20), it is currently an ongoing issue as of 8/23. BamBam needs a home with an experienced owner. He is also available for foster-to-adopt, and we are willing to provide a behaviorist to work through his compulsive humping, which also extends to objects. Our trainer's assessment is that a behaviorist who can prescribe behavior meds while we work through this issue could be helpful. We are also looking for a home with no kids at this time, as BamBam could easily knock over a child with his size. BamBam is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm negative, on heartworm prevention, dewormed, and on flea prevention. His adoption fee is $300. To discuss more, please submit an application at www.speedwayanimalrescue.org/adoption-application

Meet Mona Lisa (aka Mo)! Mona Lisa is 1 year old and 47 pounds of love and puppy! She is very smart, affectionate and loves her humans. She currently lives with 5 other dogs of varying shapes, sizes and ages and gets along with all of them. She tends to want all the affection so sometimes can be pushy with her canine siblings. Mona is high energy and needs lots of exercise so sometimes she can be overwhelming to her geriatric canine siblings. Mona is house broken, spayed and up to date on her vaccinations. She loves to play and would do best in a house with a fenced in back yard and in a home where she is either the only dog or has a young sibling that she could play with. She is VERY sweet, friendly, and happy and LOVES car rides! No invisible fences please.

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.
