Story
Hi, my name is Boomer and I'm about 8 years old.  I was rescued by Bond County Humane Society from Bond County Animal Control.  My story is a sad one and not for the faint of heart.  I was raised in a home since I was 5 weeks old.  I was part of a family that had a toddler and a cat.  Through no fault of my own I was rehomed in October of 2024.  The new owner abandoned me in December 2024.  The reason given was they couldn't take care of me.  They had no idea how expensive dog food and vet care would be.  I ended up at Bond County Animal Control where I was at high risk for euthanasia.  Bond County Humane Society had met me and could not let that happen.  They found a foster home for me and took me in.   My foster mom says I am a very sweet boy and I'm good with her several cats.  One of the cats that doesn't usually like dogs likes me and we groom each other.  I know some commands and I am very willing to learn.  I want to please people if I can.  My foster mom says I whine when I need to go outside to potty.  My biggest fault is I get very excited when I meet new people and dogs.  I am working on getting a little less enthusiastic.  I do need to have a high fenced yard.  In my previous home I would jump the fence and play with the dog next door.  I am available for immediate adoption.  I am neutered, UTD on vaccinations, heartworm tested, treated for internal and external parasites and micro chipped.  My adoption fee is $150.  If you are interested in making me a member of your family please complete an Adoption Profile in person or on-line at www.bondcohumane.org.  Email the completed profile to the address provided.  A copy of our policy regarding warranties, refunds and returns is available upon request.January 17, 2025, 5:33 pm

This adorable girl is small for her breed and some may even say a pocket Pitty. Oh my goodness this girl gets so excited when it's time to play. She is most definately a girl who gets the zoomies!!! She can go from super playful and goofy, to snuggle bug in a heartbeat.

Indi was adopted about a year ago but returned recently at no fault of her own. Poor Indi is sad to be back here at the shelter and would really love to leave here soon. She is a fun and playful girl but also calms down nicely to lay in your lap. Please consider helping Indi and letting her return to a nice home life. ........ We do ADOPTIONS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Nori is a good girl. She is about 4 y/o and was adopted in Columbus OH. She is good with other large dogs (unsure about small dogs) and good with cats as long as they don't mind playing occasionally. She's great with kids. She's been in our home with an autistic little boy, who is very noisy and unpredictable, and she's been nothing but loving and patient with him. We have a toddler as well, who she's a little more unsure of but does well with him. I am desperate to find Nori a new home. She's a great dog but my husband has recently taken a job that requires him to be away from home 5-6 days a week. Without him home, and having a disabled child and toddler, I am overwhelmed and Nori is not getting the attention she needs and deserves. She would make an excellent addition to anyone's family.
