Jax Needs a Loving Home!

Jax is a handsome 2.5-year-old German Shepherd/Pitbull mix who is looking for his forever family. He's a loving, caring, and smart dog who knows his commands and thrives on being active and outdoors. Jax loves walks, runs, hikes, and even running alongside you while you bike. He also enjoys cuddling and has a sweet, gentle nature. He's great with other dogs, loves kids, and is a well-behaved house-trained companion.

Jax is neutered, vaccinated, and takes a daily probiotic. He's a healthy boy who will bring so much joy to his new home. His owner is sadly moving and unable to take him along, so they are heartbroken to find him a perfect match.

If you're an active family or individual looking for a loyal and loving companion, Jax is your guy! He is truly the best dog and deserves a home where he can continue to thrive.

🐾 New Cats at DeKalb Humane Society! Meet Dark-Eyed Junko & Takis Blue Heat! 🐾

We’ve got two cool new kitties settling in, and they’re looking for their forever homes! 💙🐈

✨ Dark-Eyed Junko – This handsome boy has been hanging out at a kind woman’s property for the past few weeks, following her around while she fills the bird feeders. (Clearly, he’s got an eye for nature! 🐦👀) Since it’s been a while with no claims, we suspect he may not have an owner—but just in case, he’ll be on stray hold until the end of the week before being available for adoption after his neuter. If you have any info on him, let us know!

🔥 Takis Blue Heat – Named after the spicy chips (because why not? 😆), this little guy was part of a group of cats on a property. So far, he’s the only one caught, but he’s been hanging around since birth—about 5-6 months ago—so we know he doesn’t have an owner. That means he’s ready to find a home now!

Both will be neutered, fully vetted, and microchipped before they go to their new families. If either of these sweet boys sounds like your perfect match, come meet them soon! 🏡💙

📍 If you recognize Dark-Eyed Junko or have any info, reach out to us! Let’s make sure he gets where he needs to be. 🙏

Meet Maui!

Maui is a one-year-old Lab/Pit mix looking for his forever home. He's a handsome and energetic boy who loves to play, cuddle, and explore. Maui is house-trained and knows basic commands like sit, stay, come, lay down, and give paw. He's great with older children and adults, but he's a bit too energetic for young children and would do best in a home without cats.

Maui is still a puppy at heart and loves to get into things, so a home with a fenced-in yard would be ideal. He's not yet neutered or fully vaccinated, but he's in good health.

If you're looking for an active and loving companion, Maui might be the perfect dog for you! Please contact Robin at 260-302-3335 or [email protected] if you're interested in giving Maui his forever home.

Please note: Maui is located in Kendallville, Indiana.

Additional information:

Maui is good with older children and adults.
He needs a home without cats or young children.
He would benefit from a fenced-in yard.
He is not yet neutered or fully vaccinated.
He is house-trained and knows basic commands.

🐾 Meet Ohana: The Middle-Aged Cat Seeking Companionship! 🐾

Name: Ohana (means family… and trust me, I’m looking for mine)
Age: 6 years young
Relationship Status: Single, ready to purr-mingle
Looking for: A long-term commitment with a window view 🪟

About Me:
I’m a sophisticated lady with gorgeous dark markings and striking green eyes. Some might say I’m in my prime, and honestly, they’d be right. I’m chill, independent, and confident—I know what I like and where I want to be (usually on a high shelf or a cat tower with a great view). I’m the queen of cozy spots, and once I claim one, it’s mine forever. 👑

I love attention and will meow sweetly when I want some pets. But hey, I’ve got boundaries—don’t say I didn’t warn you! I might get a little nippy if you cross my lines, but that’s just me being my sassy, declawed self. We all have our quirks, right? 😼

Hobbies & Interests:
• Window-watching (the neighborhood drama is my Netflix) 📺
• Cat tower lounging like royalty 👑
• Demanding affection when the mood strikes 🐾
• Picking the perfect spot in the house

My Perfect Match:
You’ll respect my independence but also give me love when I ask for it. You’ll have a cozy home with lots of high perches and a prime window seat. Bonus points if you like a little sass and charm in your life. 😉

Ohana has been waiting for 79 days to find someone who understands her fabulous vibe. She’s already spayed, declawed, microchipped, and up to date on shots. Plus, she gets along with cats, dogs, kids—you name it. Ready to meet the queen of chill?

📍 Come meet her at DeKalb Humane Society!

🚨 107 days. That’s how long sweet Heck has been waiting.

When Heck first arrived, he was part of a group of cats rescued from the streets of Garret. One by one, they found their forever homes. One by one, they were chosen. All except for Heck. 💔

At just 6 months old, Heck has already known what it’s like to be forgotten. But here’s the thing—he’s learning to believe in love again. And every day, we see more of his tender heart shining through.

When you go slow with him, Heck leans into every head scratch. He even lets you rub his belly—rolling around with trust. Today, he started playing with my hands, like he was daring to feel joy again. 🐾 Quick movements still make him nervous, but with patience, he blossoms right before your eyes.

Heck is gentle, timid but trusting, and oh-so-sweet. He’s connected with the other cats here, especially his buddy Luca. He’s good with kids, and even dogs get a pass! He just needs a patient home to help him continue growing into the loving companion we know he is.

He’s already neutered, up to date on shots, and microchipped—ready to start his next chapter. Please, let’s not make Heck wait any longer. He’s done enough of that already.

Come meet him. Let him show you the quiet magic he’s been saving just for you. ❤️
