Story
Hello! My name is Spruce. I'm a gentle soul with a heart of gold. I'm 4 years old. I have a whole lot of love to give. And everyone I meet comments on how handsome I am! When I go to my buddy's home, I'm a perfect gentleman. I don't jump on people, I give gentle kisses, and I like to play with toys. I'm learning that things aren't as scary as they may seem, like getting into a car. At first, I just couldn't do it, but now I jump right in. In the car, I sit or lie quietly in the back seat and play with my toys, and I may even snooze if we've had a busy day. One of my favorite activities is going to get a pup cup from Starbucks after a long walk. I am heartworm positive--treatment is handled by VHS once I find my forever home. I'm a happy pup ready for all sorts of adventures!

Story
Currently in foster care! Please contact the shelter to schedule a meet and greet. Notes from my foster family: "This girl will make the perfect family pet! Some things about Shadow: 1. She has SO much love to give. She loves pets, snuggles, and affection. She also loves a good chew toy and a playful tug of war session. 2. She loves to sleep at the foot of the bed and on the couch next to you. 3. She would do best in a home with children because she adores them and is very gentle around them. She watches out for the kids, licks their tears, and even sits and watches them from the window when they are outside playing. Occasionally whining when they are out of sight. 4. She has had no problem getting along with our other dog but will try to move ahead of her for pets and affection. 5. She is potty trained. Not one accident since being in her foster home! 6. She already knows sit and recently "paw." 7. She is very gentle when accepting treats with a very soft mouth"

Story
Hey there! I'm Dunkin Butterbeans, a fun-loving 2.5-year-old Pit who somehow found myself as a stray before being rescued. I must have had quite an adventure out there, even running into a skunk at some point! But don't worry, I'm all clean now, and hopefully, I've learned my lesson about those stinky critters. I'm a silly boy with a playful spirit, and I love to make people laugh. The staff here say I did great during my bath, which makes me think I'm a pretty easygoing guy. I'm always up for a new adventure, but I'm also ready to settle down and find a forever home where I can get all the love and care I deserve.

Story
Howdy, I’m Maverick, your friendly neighborhood city slicker! That’s right, I gave life on the farm a try, but, well…let’s just say I’m better suited for sidewalks than stables. Horses, cats, and chickens? They’re fascinating, but apparently chasing them isn’t part of the farm dog job description. Who knew? So here I am, ready to bring my high-energy charm to a home that’s a little more my speed. I’m a busy bee who loves to be on the go, so if you’re into adventures, we might be the perfect match! I’ve lived with kids before (7 and up, my kind of crowd) and we got along great. I might be a little picky about my dog friends—or hey, maybe I’d be happiest as your one and only furry companion—but I promise to bring enough personality and love to fill the whole house. Here’s the good news: I’m already kennel-clean here at the shelter, so while I might need a little help fine-tuning my potty training skills, I’m well on my way. Walks are my jam! I’m easy to handle on the leash, and I’ve got just the right amount of energy to enjoy exploring with you. I’m also pretty chill when it comes to car rides and meeting new people—friendly and approachable, that’s me! So, if you’re looking for an energetic, fun-loving buddy who’s happiest in the hustle and bustle of a more suburban or urban setting, let’s meet! I’ll bring the wagging tail, and you bring the tennis balls. Deal?

Hi there, I’m Avivia, a one-year-old pitty with a big personality and an even bigger heart. I’m the perfect mix of playful, curious, and smart—kind of like the class clown who also aces all the quizzes! I’ve got a knack for learning new tricks, and I already know how to sit, lay down, shake, give you my paw, and even roll over. Pretty impressive, huh? I’ll even let you know when it’s potty time by heading to the door and grabbing my leash. Clever, right? Now, I’ll admit, I didn’t quite get along with the little kids in my last home. I think I got a bit too excited and didn’t realize my size. It’s something I’m working on, and with some positive reinforcement and a family that understands my energy, I know I can learn to be a little gentler. I’d do best in a home with older kids or adults who can match my playful spirit and give me plenty of opportunities to burn off my energy. Let’s just say, I’m not your couch potato type—I’m more of an adventure buddy. I absolutely love toys—rope toys, stuffies, bones—you name it! Sometimes I get a little attached to my bones and don’t want to give them up, but with the right training and a gentle approach, I’m learning that sharing can be fun, too. I’m also crate-trained, which means I’ve got a cozy spot to call my own when I need to chill out. Walks are one of my favorite things, and I can’t wait to explore the world with you. I’m curious about everything, and my inquisitive nature means there’s never a dull moment when I’m around. I’m still fine-tuning my leash manners, but with some patience and encouragement, I’ll have it down in no time. If you’re looking for a smart, playful, and loving pup who’s ready to learn and grow with you, then I might just be your girl. Let’s meet and see if we’re a perfect match—I promise to bring a lot of fun and love into your life!

Story
Abracadabra, world! I’m Wizard, a magical 2-year-old pit mix who’s traveled all the way from Florida to Indiana in search of my forever home. My journey began after the hurricane last year, but don’t worry—I’m no stormy soul. I’m a ray of sunshine wrapped in fur and ready to bring some spellbinding joy to your life. I’ve got high energy, which makes me the perfect partner for anyone who’s always on the go. Whether it’s a brisk walk, a game of fetch, or just chasing a few enchanted squirrels (playfully, of course), I’m up for the adventure! On the leash, I’m surprisingly easy to walk, and while I sometimes get so excited that my listening skills need a little polishing, I’ve been known to follow commands when treats or encouragement are involved. With a bit of positive reinforcement, I’m sure I’ll be turning tricks into treats in no time! Meeting new people and other dogs? It sort of depends on where and when. In my kennel I can be shy and think twice about saying hi. On a walk when I'm happy and on the move, making friends is my favorite magic trick! I’m friendly to all and have a playful charm that works like a love potion. While I might chase after animals in fun, I’m not fearful or aggressive—it’s all part of my curious and lively personality. If you’re looking for a dog who’s equal parts energy, charm, and love, I might just be the wizard you’ve been searching for. Let’s cast a spell of happiness together—your new adventure awaits with me by your side!

Story
Hi there! My name is Pretty, and I'm a 1-year-old boxer with a lot of love and energy to share. I came in from animal control, and while my past might be a bit of a mystery, I'm all about looking forward to a bright future with a loving family. When I first arrived at the shelter, I was very hyper and loved jumping on people to show my excitement. But guess what? I've already improved so much! I can now easily redirect my energy to my favorite squeaky toys. Fetch is one of my all-time favorite games, and I'll even drop the toy for you so we can keep the game going. I have a fun habit of dropping my toys in spots where I have to fish them out, so I might really enjoy a snuffle mat! I adore treats and will sit very nicely for them. I pick up on training quickly, so I'm sure I can learn lots of new tricks and commands with your help. Even though I have a lot of energy, I also have a very sweet side. I love cuddles and affection just as much as I love playing. If you're looking for a playful, energetic companion who is also sweet and eager to learn, I'm your girl. Let's meet and see if we can make each other's lives even more fun and loving!

Hello there, I’m London, and I’m ready to sweep you off your feet with my bouncy, bubbly personality! At just one year old, I’ve got energy to spare and a zest for life that’s hard to resist. I came here from animal control, and now I’m looking for my perfect match—maybe that’s you? Let’s get one thing straight: I absolutely love to play. Whether it’s running around the yard, chasing a ball, or just zooming around for the sheer joy of it, I’m happiest when I’m moving. I’ve been told I’d thrive in an active home where my energy can be put to good use. Got a jogging route or a big backyard? Perfect! I’ll be your workout buddy and keep you smiling every step of the way. When it comes to other dogs, I’m a bit of a work in progress. I play wonderfully on walks and outings, but living with another dog? That’s where things can get tricky. I get so excited to play that I sometimes don’t pick up on their cues when they’ve had enough. It’s not aggression—it’s enthusiasm! With some patient training and positive reinforcement, I’m sure I can learn better doggy manners. For now, though, I’d do best as your one-and-only furry companion. Cats, on the other hand, are a no-go. I’ve got too much energy and excitement for our feline friends. But when it comes to people? I’m all in! I love attention, affection, and being part of the action. I’m ready to soak up all the love you have to give—and give it right back. If you’re looking for a spirited, loving, and active partner who’s ready to tackle life head-on, I’m your girl. Let’s run, play, and make memories together. I can’t wait to start our adventure!
