😄 Meet Spring: Your New Adventure Buddy! 😍

Looking for a medium-sized, high-energy companion who’s always ready for fun? Meet Spring, a 4-year-old Boxer mix who’s got the perfect blend of s***k and sweetness. Weighing in at just 33 lbs, Spring is the ideal size for snuggles and adventures alike.

Spring has the most unique coloring, and when she gets excited and smiles, she might even sport a little mustache—an adorable quirk that will melt your heart! True to her name, Spring literally springs into the air when she’s happy, bouncing around like the joyful, active pup she is.

Here’s what makes Spring special:

🐾 Ready for Action: Spring is always on the go and up for anything active. Whether it’s a hike, a jog, or just a game of fetch, she’s your girl.
🐾 Selective with Canine Friends: Spring can be a little picky with her dog pals, so a meet-and-greet is essential to see if they’re bestie material.
🐾Quick Learner: She knows some commands already and picks up new ones quickly, especially when there’s a treat involved!
🐾 Leash Pro: Spring walks nicely on a leash with her training collar, making her a great walking or running partner.
🐾 Playful Spirit: She can get a bit excited and mouthy when playing, so a home with older
children would be best.
🐾 No Cats, Please: Spring prefers a feline-free home.

😺Meet Chonk: The Big-Hearted Boy Looking for His Forever Home 😺

Chonk is a striking black and white cat who lives up to his name, weighing in at a solid 12.6 lbs of pure feline charm. At 3 years old, this gentle giant is ready to find a loving home where he can thrive.

Chonk has a soft spot for his little stuffed pig toy, 🐷which he loves to play and cuddle with. He enjoys being carried for short periods and adores pets and chin scratches. Though he's still learning to trust humans, once you’ve gained his trust, Chonk will reward you with sweet nuzzles and soothing purrs.

While Chonk is a calm and easygoing companion, he can get startled by sudden movements and may swat or bite when he feels threatened. For this reason, Chonk would do best in a home without young children or overly rambunctious animals. He’s shown no reactions to other cats or dogs at the shelter, making him a potential fit for homes with other laid-back pets.

Chonk has tested positive for FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus), a condition often misunderstood. Contrary to popular belief, FIV is not easily spread, does not typically make cats sick, and does not necessarily shorten their life expectancy. With proper care and a loving environment, Chonk can lead a long, healthy, and happy life.

If you’re looking for a big, loving boy to share your life with, Chonk could be the perfect match. Come meet him today and see if you’re the one he’s been waiting for! ❤️😻

🌟 Happy Labor Day from Sassy Sue! 🌟

While our shelter is closed today, Sassy Sue, our adorable 3-month-old Labrador Retriever mix, wants to wish everyone a fantastic holiday! This little cutie has been watching her littermates find their forever homes, and she’s hopeful her turn is coming soon. 🐾

Despite her name, Sassy Sue isn’t all sass—though she does have a s***ky side when she’s playing with her toys! But don’t worry, once she’s tuckered out, she’s all about the snuggles with her favorite p*eps.

Sassy Sue is looking for a loving family who can help her grow into the amazing dog we know she’ll be. She’ll need some basic manners, potty training, and plenty of things to chew on, along with a patient adopter to show her the ropes. She’s already used to being around other dogs and should do well with cats too, given a proper introduction.

If you’re ready to add some cuteness and cuddles to your life, keep Sassy Sue in mind when we reopen tomorrow!

Wishing you all a happy and safe Labor Day! ❤️🐶

🐾 Meet Ace: Your New Best Friend in a Small Package! 🐾

Introducing Ace, a 9-month-old Miniature Pinscher/Dachshund mix who’s the perfect pint-sized companion at just 14 lbs. This little guy may be small with short legs, but he has a big heart full of love waiting for the right family to come along.

Ace has been feeling scared and overwhelmed in the shelter, and he’s dreaming of a safe, cozy home where he can finally relax. He previously lived with children and other dogs, so he knows what it’s like to be part of a family. But he’ll need a little time to come out of his shell and feel secure in his new surroundings.

Here’s what makes Ace so special:

🛋️ Cuddle Champion: Ace is a snuggle bug with his favorite people, always ready to curl up and keep you company.
🐾 Prancing Pup: When he’s out and about, Ace prances around with the cutest little strut—it’s impossible not to smile!
🎾 Playful Spirit: Once he’s comfortable, Ace loves to play with toys and show off his fun side.

🐾 A Letter from Ruthie: Waiting for My Forever Family 🐾

Hi there! I’m Ruthie, a 9-month-old Labrador Retriever/Terrier mix with a heart full of love and a tail that just won’t stop wagging. I’m writing to you from my kennel, where I’ve been patiently waiting for my people to come and find me. I know I might not catch your eye at first—my sleek black fur doesn’t stand out much in this busy place—but I promise, if you take a moment to get to know me, you’ll see what a fantastic girl I am!

Here’s a little about me:

😄 Wiggly & Silly: When you give me attention, I can’t help but wiggle all over! I’m just so excited to be with you.
💕 Belly Rub Enthusiast: Belly rubs are my absolute favorite. I’ll flop over and show you my belly as soon as we’re friends.
🎾 Squeaky Toy Fanatic: I can chase squeaky toys forever! Bring one to the play yard, and we’ll have a blast together.
📸 Too Fast for Photos: I’m a bit of a blur because I’m always on the move—life’s just too exciting to sit still for pictures!
🍖 Smart & Eager: I already know how to sit for treats, and I’m eager to learn more. I just need someone to show me the ropes.
🐾 Social Butterfly: I get along with everyone! I’m curious about cats and happy to meet other dogs, ready to play right away.
🐶 Playmate Potential: I used to live with other dogs, and I’d love to have a playful dog buddy in my new home.
👶 Kid-Friendly: I’m good with kids too, so if you’ve got little humans at home, we’ll be best friends in no time.

I might be a little hard to spot in the crowd, but trust me—I’m worth it. I’m just waiting for that special someone who sees me for the fun, loving, and playful pup I am. Could that be you?

Come visit me and let’s make some memories together. I’ll be here, wiggling with excitement, just waiting for you to say, “Ruthie, let’s go home.”

Love, Ruthie

🌟Meet Sadie: America’s Next Dog Model!🌟

During our latest puppy photo session, chaos reigned supreme—zoomies everywhere, squeaky toys flying, blurry pictures galore, and humans breaking a sweat chasing puppies around. But not Sadie. This 3-month-old Lab puppy nailed her photoshoot in a matter of seconds, earning her the title of America’s Next Dog Model! 📸

When she’s not striking a pose, Sadie is busy charming every visitor she meets with her irresistible puppy kisses and snuggles. She’s sweet, social, and ready to steal your heart.

Sadie is still a young pup, so she’ll need some help mastering her basic manners, potty training, and finding appropriate things to chew on (other than your favorite shoes!). She’s looking for a patient adopter who’s ready to show her the ropes and help her grow into the amazing dog we know she’s destined to be.

Sadie came to the shelter with her littermates and should do well in a home with other dogs and/or cats, given a proper introduction. If you’re ready to welcome some puppy love (and maybe a bit of puppy mischief) into your life, Sadie’s your girl! 🐾

❤️Adopt Sadie today and bring home a superstar!

😻🐾 Meet Sesame, our stunning gray boy who’s ready to say “Open Sesame” and leave the shelter life behind. This handsome 2-year-old Domestic Shorthair/Russian Blue mix came to us as a frightened stray, but with patience and care, he’s slowly starting to show his affectionate side. Sesame loves gentle pets and will melt into your hand when you bring out the brush, rewarding you with purrs and affectionate head bumps.

While Sesame is still a bit unsure about being held or carried, we believe he’ll continue to blossom in a loving home where he can build trust at his own pace. He may not be a lap cat right away, but with time, we’re confident he’ll become a cherished companion. Sesame would do best in a home with older, respectful children and should thrive with other friendly animals after a proper introduction.

Sesame has tested positive for FIV, a condition that’s often misunderstood. But don’t worry—FIV-positive cats like Sesame can live long, healthy lives with proper care.

Apply today to give Sesame the forever home he has been waiting for!

🎉 Celebrate National Dog Day with Dash! 🎉

Meet Dash, the 9-month-old mystery mutt who's ready to steal your heart! Weighing in at a petite 18 lbs., Dash is the perfect sidekick, and his stunning merle coat paired with those out-of-this-world ears will make heads turn wherever you go. We think he might be a mix of Miniature Pinscher and Sheltie, but one thing’s for sure—this little guy is 100% adorable!

Why Dash is the Perfect Pup:

🐾 Pocket-Sized Perfection: At just 18 lbs., Dash is the ideal size to be your constant companion, whether you're running errands or lounging on the couch.
💕 Velcro Pup: Dash is a total lovebug who likes to be stuck to you like glue. If you’re looking for a loyal friend who will follow you everywhere, Dash is your boy!
🛋️ Cuddle Champion: His favorite place is snuggled up next to you on the couch, making him the perfect Netflix and chill buddy.
👶 Kid-Approved: Dash lives in a foster home with children and is great with them, making him a fantastic addition to any family.
🐶 Dog-Friendly: He gets along with dogs of all sizes but prefers friends with good social skills over pushy, in-your-face pups. He loves playing with his dog besties and would likely enjoy the company of another canine companion.
🏡 Crate & House Trained: Dash is already crate trained and house trained, so he’s ready to move in and start his new life with you.
Dash is a one-of-a-kind pup who’s waiting for the perfect family to share his love and cuddles. Could that be you?

🐾 Celebrate National Dog Day by giving Dash the forever home he deserves!

‼️Urgent Plea for Winter: Foster Home Needed!‼️

Meet Winter, a resilient 5-year-old who came to us in heartbreaking condition—skinny, missing fur, full of fleas, and in desperate need of care. Thanks to our team, she’s starting to look and feel better, but Winter still has some challenges ahead. She has umbilical nodules on her belly that need to be removed and biopsied, and she can’t go through this surgery at the shelter.

Winter needs a loving foster home (or foster-to-adopt) where she can recover in comfort. She’s a sweet, gentle soul who gets along well with other dogs but needs a home without cats. Because of her sensitive nature, she’ll do best in a home with children aged 10 and up.

If you have room in your heart and home, please consider helping Winter heal. She’s been through so much and deserves a safe space to recover. Can you be the one to give her the love and recovery suite she needs?

Our foster application can be found online: https://www.inapl.org/foster-application

🎶 Meet Lola: The Pocket Pittie with a Heart of Gold 🎶

Introducing Lola, our 1-year-old cutie who’s as unique and unforgettable as the song that shares her name. While Lola might not be a "showdog," she’s definitely a showstopper with her velvet-soft brown and white fur and those adorable rabbit ears that pop up whenever she gets excited. Lola’s journey hasn’t been easy—she came to us scared and overwhelmed, but every day she’s blossoming into the sweet, curious girl we know she can be.

A Little About Lola:

🕵️ People-Watching Pro: Lola loves to observe the world around her, and you’ll often find her squishing her face through the chain link to get a better view. She’s a bit of a detective, always keeping an eye on what’s happening.
🐾 Shy but Sweet: Lola is a bit shy when meeting new people, but with a little patience and warm-up time, she’ll show you just how loving she can be.
🌱 Blossoming Beauty: With each day, Lola comes out of her shell more and more. She needs a patient adopter who will give her the space and time she needs to fully bloom.
🦮 Doggy Acquaintances: Lola is unsure around other dogs but curious. She’s greeted dog friends appropriately but will need time to acclimate to them in her new home. She’d likely do best with calm, easygoing dog companions rather than high-energy ones.
🍬 Polite & Well-Mannered: Lola knows how to sit and takes her treats like a true lady—gently and politely.
🧸 Playful Spirit: Once she feels safe and comfortable, Lola enjoys playing outside and showing off her playful side.
😼 Cat Cautious: She’s fearful of cats and preferred to ignore them when introduced
🏡 Quiet Home Needed: Lola would thrive in a quiet home with older children who understand her need for a calm, peaceful environment.

Lola’s story is one of quiet resilience and gentle courage. She’s not the type to demand the spotlight, but once you get to know her, you’ll see she’s a true gem waiting to shine in the right home.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will love you unconditionally (and who could resist those ears?), Lola is the girl for you.

📣 Chip's Retirement Announcement: Seeking a Cozy Home! 📣

Hello there, esteemed shoppers and potential cat parents! It’s me, Chip, the 2-year-old feline extraordinaire who’s been running things at the PetSuppliesPlus store in Muncie. For the past few months, I’ve been your undercover store manager—keeping tabs on you humans, ensuring the shelves are stocked with my favorite treats, and giving the occasional quality control check on those catnip toys.

But here’s the thing—I’m ready to retire from my store duties and find my very own forever family. I’ve done my time in retail, and now I’m looking for a cozy spot on your couch, some good belly rubs, and maybe a sunny window where I can supervise the neighborhood instead.

Why You Should Hire (I mean, Adopt) Me:

😻 Sweet & Friendly: I’ve got a heart full of love, and I’m not afraid to show it. I’ll greet you with a purr and maybe even a few kisses—I’m a real charmer.
👶 Kid-Friendly: I’m great with kids, so if you’ve got little humans running around, I’ll fit right in. They’ll love me, and I’ll love them (especially if they share their snacks).
🐱 Cool with Cats: Got other feline friends? No problem. I’m good with other cats and would be happy to join your kitty crew.
🐶 Dog Tolerant: I haven’t spent much time with dogs, but I didn’t mind them at the shelter. I might even make friends with a pup if they’re nice to me.
🧸 Playful Potential: I’m a bit play-curious. I might take a little time to warm up, but once I’m comfortable, I’ll be batting at toys and chasing laser pointers like a pro.

So, if you’re looking for a friendly, sweet, and slightly overqualified (if I do say so myself) addition to your family, look no further! I’m ready to hang up my store manager hat and trade it in for a comfy spot in your home.

Apply within (or just come meet me at the store). Let’s make this adoption official!

Love, Chip

😍 Meet Tank: The Adorably Chunky Puggle Ready for His Forever Home! 😍

Say hello to Tank, a 3-year-old Pug/Beagle mix (or "Puggle") who’s as hilariously cute as his name suggests! This lovable little guy came to us as a stray, and while he’s been a bit "well fed" at 32 lbs., he’s more than ready to start a new workout routine with his future family.

What Makes Tank So Special:

🐶 Sweet & Easygoing: Tank’s laid-back personality makes him a great fit for just about any home. He’s the kind of dog who just goes with the flow!
🐾 Dog-Friendly: Tank lives in a foster home with several dog buddies and gets along great with them. He’s well-socialized and would love some canine companions in his forever home.
🐱 Cat-Approved: Tank doesn’t seem to be bothered by cat friends either, making him a great option for a multi-pet household.
🍖 Snack Enthusiast: It’s no secret—Tank loves his snacks! But he’s ready to balance that with some fun walks and exercise to shed a few pounds.
🚶 Walk Lover: Speaking of walks, Tank enjoys getting out and about. He’ll happily join you for a stroll around the neighborhood.
👶 Kid-Friendly: Tank would be a wonderful addition to a family with kids. His gentle nature and love for attention make him a great companion for children.

Tank is an easygoing guy who would thrive in most homes, and he’s ready to bring a lot of love (and laughs) to his new family. If you’re looking for a sweet, charming, and slightly chunky companion, Tank is your guy!

08/23/2024

🐾 Sancho's Ready for His Forever Home! 🐾

Meet Sancho, our resilient 1-year-old Golden Doodle mix with a shiny black coat that’s as unique as his spirit. After arriving at the shelter severely matted, flea-ridden, and skittish, Sancho had to be shaved down to his skin. But thanks to the love and care he’s received in his foster home, his beautiful doodle hair is growing back, and his confidence is blossoming.

We’re all a bit shocked that Sancho hasn’t found his forever family yet—he’s a true gem just waiting to shine in the right home.

Why Sancho Could Be Your Perfect Match:

🌟 Young & Energetic: Sancho is full of life and loves to zoom around the yard, making him the perfect playmate for an active household.
👫 Loyal Sidekick: He’s happiest when he’s by your side, whether you’re out for a walk or curled up on the couch.
💤 Cuddle Expert: After a day of fun, Sancho is all about those cozy naps with his favorite humans.
🧠 Quick Learner: This smart boy picks up new concepts in no time and is always eager to impress.
🐕 Leash Pro: Sancho walks beautifully on a leash, making him an ideal walking companion.
💖 Sensitive Soul: He can be a little head shy and nervous with loud noises, and he may sometimes "nervous p*e" when he’s unsure of new things.
🐾 Selective with Dog Friends: Sancho is a bit picky about his canine pals, so he’ll need to meet potential doggie friends to see if they’re a good fit.
🏠 House Ready: Sancho is both crate and house trained, making him a breeze to integrate into your home.

❤️‍🩹 What Sancho Needs:
Sancho is looking for a patient adopter who understands that he might need a little time to fully adjust. He’ll thrive in a home with older, respectful children who can give him the space he needs. As a breed that requires regular grooming, Sancho will need consistent appointments to keep his coat looking its best.

Sancho dreams of the day he’ll have his very own family. If you’re searching for a sweet, smart, and resilient companion, look no further—Sancho is your boy! Come meet him today and give him the loving home he’s been waiting for.

We would like to share an adoption update with all of you. Rufus came to us back in February as a stray. He had some breathing issues and double cherry eye and wasn’t in the best condition. We asked you all to help cover the cost so we could get this good boy breathing easy and you came through for us, as always! Here is what Rufus’s new mom had to say:
“He is doing great from his second eye surgery, he’s gained a lot of weight and loves his sister that we already had. My favorite (of these photographs) is where they look like they’re holding hands. We love him so much and he fits in with our family so well.”

🌹Rosey – Your Perfect Companion! 🌹

Rosey is a stunning 5-year-old German Shepherd mix with beauty and brains to match. She's social, friendly, and loves meeting new people. With her sharp mind and eagerness to please, Rosey has already mastered a couple of commands like sit and stay, and she’s ready to learn more with the right family by her side.

Rosey is not only smart but also a true lady with excellent manners. She takes her treats gently and gets along well with other dogs she meets at the shelter. However, Rosey needs a cat-free home, as felines aren't her cup of tea.

While Rosey is wonderful in so many ways, she does have some anxiety that will require an understanding adopter who can help manage it. She’s particularly afraid of loud noises like fireworks and thunderstorms, so a sturdy crate designed for dogs with anxiety will be a must when she’s left alone. Also, she might be a bit of an escape artist, so monitoring her in a yard will be essential.

Rosey would likely thrive in a home with older children who can appreciate her sweet and attentive nature. We know there’s a perfect family out there who can give Rosey the loving, supportive home she deserves. Could that be you?

🐾 Cherokee: Your New Best Friend 🐾

Cherokee is a 4-year-old bundle of joy with a heart as big as his wagging tail! This friendly and happy boy has been waiting patiently for his forever family since May when he was found as a stray. Now, Cherokee is ready to find a one-of-a-kind home where he can be the center of attention as the only pet.

Why Cherokee Deserves to Be Yours:

🌟 Friendly & Happy: Cherokee greets everyone with a tail wag and a smile that will melt your heart.
🐾 Smart & Well-Trained: He knows how to sit and shake for snacks, showing off his polite manners. Plus, he’s a total gentleman when taking treats!
🚶 Great Walking Buddy: Cherokee is an excellent companion for walks, making him the perfect partner for your outdoor adventures.
🧸 Playful Yet Calm: He’s the ideal mix of playful and calm, enjoying both romping around with squeaky toys and relaxing by your side.
🏠 Needs to Be the Only Pet: Cherokee is looking for a home where he can be the star of the show—no other dogs or cats, please!
👶 Kid-Friendly: Cherokee should do well in a home with children, making him a great addition to a family.

Cherokee is finding it tough to be in a kennel day in and day out, and he lives for the moments he gets to spend with his favorite volunteers outside. He’s been waiting far too long for a loving family to come along and take him home.

Are you ready to give Cherokee the forever home he’s been dreaming of? Come meet this sweet, tail-wagging gentleman and let him show you just how special he is!

Ozzy's Big Day Out

🐾🐶 Ozzy is an 11-month-old bundle of energy and affection who’s been struggling with the confines of shelter life. This cutie with the most adorable tiny ears was super scared when he first arrived, but he's slowly warming up and revealing his playful puppy personality. Our amazing volunteer recently took Ozzy out for a special day, and he couldn’t stop smiling! Ozzy loves his walks and is a happy, enthusiastic pup once he's out of his kennel. He's met several dog buddies and adapts his greetings to their personalities, showing excellent canine social skills. He’s also curious and happy meeting cats, and we believe he’ll thrive in a home with children. If you’re looking for a playful, loving companion with a heart of gold, Ozzy is your guy. Help this sweet pup find his forever home where he can burn off his energy and share his endless love. 🐶❤️ #AdoptOzzy #ShelterPup #ForeverHomeNeeded #PlayfulPuppy #rhodesianridgebackmix Ozzy's adoption fee is $150 and includes his neuter, vaccinations, deworming, microchip, heartworm testing, and a free wellness exam. If you're interested in meeting or adopting Ozzy, please complete an application at: inapl.org/adoption-application.

Scruff is a big solid cat. He may shy away a bit when first approached, but if you are slow and gentle with him, he loves pets, and does not mind being held. He enjoys being brushed. He really warms up with gentle pets and should be a wonderful companion once he has adjusted to his new home. Scruff has come a long way since first arriving at the shelter, and has turned into a lap kitty who really likes pets. He would likely enjoy a quieter or calmer environment.Scruff has tested for positive for FIV.FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus) is a widely misunderstood condition. Many people think that it's easily spread, makes cats very sick, and that they have a lower life expectancy, so they are not often adopted. This is far from the truth!Should you adopt an FIV cat? Absolutely! Learn more about why YOU should adopt a cat with FIV: https://pethelpful.com/cats/Why-You-Should-Adopt-an-FIV-Cat

Copper is a cool dude! A terrific 2 year old with a PAWesome personality and an infectious smile, he’s charmed his way into the hearts of our staff and volunteers alike. Copper recently spent some quality time with one of his best two-legged friends, check out what she had to say about this delightful dude! Meet my friend Copper! Copper hasn’t had the best life. He was brought to the shelter as a stray after being hit by a car. On top of that he had lost all of his hair and was extremely itchy. But let me tell you that did not slow Copper down. His hair is all grown back and he is NOT letting the shelter life get him down! This boy loves his toys and a yard to run around with them in. He is so kind and loving and wants to find his very own home! He got a much needed bath tonight and he was such a good boy. To me he is perfect! I just hope Copper finds his forever! 💙🐾 Copper would love to be your only doggo, but can coexist with kitties, after a slow introduction and help from a patient adopter in a home with older kiddos. Copper’s adoption fee is $100 and includes his neuter, vaccinations, microchip, deworming, heartworm test, and a free wellness exam. Apply online at inapl.org.
