Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Those ears. That face. That personality🫠🥹 We can't get enough of our resident house-hippo, Diamond, and just want to see her in a loving home like she deserves. Since Diamond is in a foster home, we ask that you email pets@michianapets.org if you would like to adopt her. We'll send you an application! She's an easy-going, lazy, couch potato and is content with a life of leisure! Don't get us wrong, Diamond loves daily walkies, but for the most part she is quite chill. Diamond's ideal home would be one with a quiet environment. We are basically calling all introverts and homebodies! Lots of visitors and commotion is not her pace and we totally understand that! So, if you are someone who has a low-key lifestyle and likes to snuggle close to their dog, we highly suggest you come to meet Diamond. She's done best interacting with equally playful and friendly male dogs. Diamond is so people-oriented that she'd also be content to have it be just her. She asks for no kitty friends. Teenagers and older is a great option for her. Diamond is about six and a half years old and is spayed. We hope you see all the love Diamond has to offer.

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This itty-bitty potato look-alike is Spud🥔🥹🤎 Spud is such a good girl and we all love her so much. She's a lil' shorty and is only about 48-pounds. Perfectly sized for cozy cuddles! When she gets excited, her little paws do the cutest tippy-taps and she melts our hearts. The thing about Spud that breaks our hearts is that she is so extremely kennel-stressed that she is not thriving in the shelter. She needs a foster home and someone who is willing to put time into helping her learn that she can trust people❤ The way to Spud's heart is not through food...this girl is all about patience and building a relationship. She has a timid and reserved personality. Please be willing to spend time with Spud so she can get to know you. Once she is out of her kennel for a bit, she relaxes and shows off her silly side. Once she is comfortable, she likes tennis balls and will walk around soliciting affection and pets. We know that Spud's in-the-home needs may be hard to find; but she is very much so worth the effort to try to find exactly what she needs. Spud needs a quiet and consistently calm home with few visitors. Everyone should be teenaged and up, and she'll need extra time to get to know any males, but, as you can see, she does come around! We'd love it if the foster was knowledgeable about dogs with anxiety. Our Spud girl is a bit of project and we can help guide her foster; we just need someone to be willing❤ She will be most comfortable being the only furbaby. Spud is about three years old, is about 42-pounds, and is spayed. To foster her, fill out the application found here: https://michianapets.org/get-involved/foster/. If you would like to adopt her, she is available to be fostered-to-adopted, as well🤎🥔🐾

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Hello friends, I'm Trixie. I literally just turned one year old so, what I'm thinking is that for my first birthday, your present to me could be an adoption! I'd love to have a family to love me and I sure have a lot of love to offer in return. You know those kind of zoomies us dogs get when we kind of spin in circles and we get really low to the ground and hardly move at all? The slow-motion zoomies? Well, mine are a combination of slow-motion zoomies and normal zoomie zoomies. They always make the humans laugh, though! Once I know you, I fit amazingly well in your arms. I'm around 50ish pounds and love to be snuggled and cuddled close. Sometimes I am timid when meeting new people but as long as you give me time to get to know you, I will warm up. So, if you are having friends over, would you allow me a slow introduction to them? You see, you may know that they are awesome people but please give me time to grasp onto that, as well. I have lived around other dog friends before and I've had great body language meeting them at the shelter. I still would like to have a few more puppy playgroups under my metaphorical belt to see what my preferences are. Older kiddos, maybe 10ish and up, would be so much fun! I am spayed and am just waiting to hear that you are at MHS to meet me. Love, Trixie.

Vito

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 1 yr 6 mos
Michigan City, IN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This stocky good boy is Vito! We think he would be a body-builder if he could pick any job! He's compact and has a great energy about him! He LOVES affection, is always wanting someone to be obsessing over him, and, well, let's face it...that is super easy to do! Vito is a pup who has FOMO aka fear-of-missing-out. He doesn't want you to be having fun without him! And he's such a fun guy that he makes everything that we do much more enjoyable just by having him there. He knows how to sit politely and he takes treats gently like the true gentleman that he is. Vito has short little legs and weighs about 52-pounds. He is perfectly sized for snuggling and cuddling which he has shown to be a huge fan of. His body language around other dogs has been very positive! He gets all the wiggles! As far as cat friends go, he was slightly interested in them but was more interested in people around him. We think he has the potential to be properly introduced! Don't miss your chance to add this charmer to your family! He is about one and a half years old and is neutered. Adopt Vito!

Story
Weighing in right around 35-pounds, we'd love to introduce you to Miss Evie. She is quite possibly the happiest, wiggliest, cutest lil' ball of joy we've had the pleasure of meeting. Evie has a superpower of instantly brightening the days of those she is around. It's completely impossible to not smile around her. Not only is she a pint-sized cutie, but her manners are wonderful. Evie sits politely when asked to do so and takes her treats so gently. She is a total pleaser and is very treat-motivated! This girl can learn anything! We observed her around kitty friends and she was really just more interested in visiting with people! It looks like she has the potential to do well with cats with a proper introduction. Once we have her around other shelter dogs, we can update you! If your kiddos are respectful, Evie would most likely be their absolutely best friend. Evie is about one and a half years old and is spayed. Come meet her!

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Nala is in a foster home. Please call MHS at 219-872-4499 to adopt her. Calling all Boxer dog fans! One of our amazing volunteers was curious about Nala's breeds, so she ordered a DNA test...we now know that Nala is: 53.4% Boxer + 27.2% American Bully + 19.4% American Pit Bull Terrier! Talk about three amazing breeds combined to make one 100% good girl! And, oh yeah! Her adoption fee is sponsored to an approved applicant! She is always so wiggly. You would've never guessed she came to us starving and scared. Let's not forget that she has the BEST smile and she is always cheesing so hard that she squints! She is so very sweet and is always so excited to come out and play! We like to describe Nala as an independent gal but also very loyal to people. She would do fine as the only dog but also has done well with other playful pups. Nala has done well with kiddos about 8ish and up. She loves car rides and is always looking out the window. She's such a sweetheart. Nala's ideal family would be one where she can join them for daily walks. She would also love to play fetch with tennis balls because that makes her so happy! She is the best fetcher ever! She also loves sniffing through snufflemats. Nala is a treat-motivated gal! Oh, and another amazing thing about her is that she takes treats so gently. She is about six and a half years old and is spayed.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
The 3 best things about Benji... 1. He is a "cream puff" in the words of MHS Volunteer Mitzi. He is a big dude but he is so gentle! In fact, there isn't a dog in the shelter who takes treats more gently than Benji does. 2. Benji has had someone put a lot of time into him. His manners are awesome. He knows how to sit, stay, come, lay down, shake with both paws, take treats so respectfully, and he walks very nicely on a leash. 3. He is so well-balanced! Benji is playful and silly but also will lay down calmly and be content to just chill. Kiddos should be about 9ish and older, and he's had positive body language towards other friendly shelter dogs. Benji boy is a professional goofball. He is a little over four years old and is neutered.
