🐾 Meet Lily! 🐾

Lily is a two-year-old bundle of love with an adorable XL-sized head on a medium-sized body, weighing in at about 50 pounds. Her striking markings hint at a Catahoula and pit bull mix, making her as unique as she is cute.

Lily is a true sweetheart with impeccable house manners. She’s fantastic with people and other dogs, always eager to make new friends. Her athleticism and agility make playtime a blast—though she can get a little wild, she knows how to settle down when it’s time to relax.

This curious and friendly girl is crate-trained, loves her toys, and walks nicely on a leash. Because she’s so inquisitive, Lily's forever home will need a six-foot fenced yard where she can safely explore and enjoy her adventures.

If you’re looking for a loyal and playful companion with a big heart and even bigger personality, Lily is the one for you! 🐕💛

If you are interested in adopting Lily, please submit an application online at: https://www.treasuredfriendsrescue.org/

🐾🐶 Meet Luke: Your New Best Friend! 🐶🐾

Luke is a one-year-old bundle of joy, bursting with energy and love! He’s good with kids, great with other dogs, and super curious about cats—he really wants to play with them and gets a bit sad when they don’t join in! Luke is the ultimate cuddle buddy, a bone-chewing champion, and has a quirky love for crunching on ice cubes.

Come meet Luke and see his adorable antics in person! He’ll be at PetSmart in Schererville tomorrow (Saturday 8/24) at 12 PM CST. Don't miss the chance to bring home this sweet, playful boy who’s ready to fill your life with love and fun!

🏠 🐾 Meet the Purrfect Trio: Pamela, Paco, and Pedro! 🐾🏠

Are you ready to welcome some serious love and cuteness into your home? Meet these three adorable siblings who are looking for their forever families!

Pamela (Tabby): The ultimate combination of an incredible athlete and a world-class cuddler. She'll gaze into your eyes and serenade you with her sweet songs. Pamela adores her brothers, and together, they form an unstoppable trio!

Paco (Buff Orange): This mellow, roly-poly bundle of joy is a power purrer who loves nothing more than a good tummy rub. With fur as soft as your favorite stuffed animal, Paco is the definition of cuddly comfort. He loves his brother and sister, and would love to be adopted with one of them!

Pedro (Tabby): A stunning gray tabby with a love for playtime and being the first to claim your lap. Pedro is smart, brave, and incredibly affectionate—an all-around perfect kitten! He treasures his siblings, and he would be overjoyed to be adopted with one of them.

These kittens are approximately 4 months old and are fantastic with other cats, dogs, and kids. They would thrive in a home where they can continue to grow and share their boundless love.

Ready to meet your new best friends?
Don't miss out on this opportunity to adopt the purrfect kittens!

Come meet them this weekend at PetSmart in Schererville from 12-4!

Meet Sammy!

Sammy is a handsome Siamese male, born around March 15, 2014. Sammy was surrendered by his owner and ended up under the care of Treasured Friends. This sweet boy has been through a lot, including a vet visit where he was diagnosed with Nystagmus (an involuntary eye movement) and some much needed dental work to remove his long fangs.

Despite his age, Sammy has a lot more love to give! He gets along well with other cats, but he hasn’t been tested with dogs yet. He's a gentle soul looking for a loving home to call his own!

If you are interested in Sammy, please submit an application on our website!

Do you remember Wink?

Wink is still patiently waiting for his turn for a forever home! Wink is a beautiful 4 month old black kitten with stunning green eyes and stripes that will definitely attract notice!

Wink is a very sweet and cuddly boy who also loves to play! He will carry around his spring toys, throwing and chasing them around the room! He's also a MAJOR talker. If you've been at PetSmart for the last couple adoption weekends you've probably heard his loud voice!

Wink unfortunately doesn't show too well at PetSmart as he tends to get overwhelmed and may sound grumpy, but don't let his attitude there deter you, at home hes a sweet adventurous boy!

Wink would prefer a home with only older children and adults. He also loves his adult cat friends in his foster home, so another friend in his forever home would be great!

If you are interested in Wink, please submit an application on our website! Help us find an amazing forever home for this sweet boy!

Meet the dynamic trio—Griffin, Goblin, and Phoenix!

These three playful brothers are overflowing with fun and affection, ready to bring endless joy to their forever homes. Rescued at just a few weeks old alongside their sisters, Fairy and Pegasus (who have already found their happy endings), these energetic boys are now about 3 months old, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on their age appropriate vaccines. They’re all set for their next big adventure!

Goblin (Solid Black with Collar): The fearless leader of the pack! Goblin is a brave, cuddly explorer who loves to zoom around, pounce on his toys, and playfully wrestle with his brothers. When he’s done with his antics, he’s on the hunt for his favorite people—because cuddle time is just as important as playtime!

Griffin (Solid Black Without Collar): A sweet and slightly shy boy, Griffin adores snuggles and playtime but is a bit more cautious when facing new experiences. He might not be as bold as Goblin, but his gentle nature makes him the perfect cuddle companion.

Phoenix (Brown Tabby): The ultimate cuddle monster! Phoenix is always on the lookout for the perfect moment to snuggle up with you. Whether you're sitting or lying down, this affectionate tabby will be right there, ready to share some cozy cuddles.

All three kittens are great with other cats. Goblin and Griffin are also kid-friendly, while Phoenix would prefer a home with older children or adults. They haven’t been tested with dogs yet, but with personalities like theirs, they’re sure to win over hearts wherever they go!

Come meet this amazing group of kittens this Saturday at PetSmart in Schererville from 12-4pm!

Boys will be boys! Here we have Glen and Sesame roughhousing at the shelter during playtime. Check out all our adoptable pets on Petfinder under Treasured Friends Rescue! 😻

Morning pet with the boys! Wilder was clearly setting me up for a trap showing his belly like that. 😅 Both of these boys are friendly and can be adopted together or separately. Please visit Griffith Animal Control on Petfinder to see their profiles. Hopefully these boys will find homes soon! #treasuredfriendsrescue #adoptme #cats #catsofinstagram

Tia is enjoying the sunshine and good weather. She likes being outside but only with company. Tia would be a perfect dog for someone looking for a constant companion. Tia is a chill dog that likes relaxing and lounging around. We also recently discovered that she will sing along with you and she has a lovely voice. Tia is available for adoption. You can visit her Petfinder profile at https://www.petfinder.com/dog/tia-70858967/in/griffith/griffith-animal-control-in244/. #treasuredfriendsrescue

Danica is super happy because she is finally going home! Danica was one of our longest residents at the shelter and now she has finally been adopted! 😍 We still have many other adoptable dogs looking for forever homes. Visit treasuredfriendsrescue.org to see all of our adoptable pets. #treasuredfriendsrescue #animalrescue #dog #adopt

Playtime at the shelter with Pumpkin and Gino. Both love playing with others and are available for adoption. Visit treasuredfriendsrescue.org to see all our adoptable cats and dogs! #treasuredfriendsrescue #animalrescue #cat #cats_of_instagram

Juniper is a happy, 4-month old Akita mix puppy looking for a forever home. This big girl has lots of energy and loves playing. All you big dog lovers out there, Juniper is the dog for you. At 4-months old, this girl is already pushing 30lbs! Juniper would love other doggies to play with and a fenced in yard to run around in. She is spayed, microchipped and up-to-date on shots. Please visit treasuredfriendsrescue.org to fill out an adoption application. You can also find her on Petfinder under Griffith Animal Control. Please share so we can find this beautiful girl a home! #treasuredfriendsrescue #puppy #adoptme #akitamix #bigdog

The babies are starting to move around! Their eyes started opening just a couple days ago. It’s an exciting time to be a kitten. In just another week they will be running around and tumbling everywhere. So cute! 😻#treasuredfriendsrescue #kittens #rescuekitten #kitten #kitty

Tia is enjoying some fun outside time in the sun. ☀️Tia is an 8-year-old terrier mix looking for a forever home. Tia is shy at first but warms up quickly. She would love a home where she can spend a lot of time with her person. She likes lounging around and taking it easy. No small children. She is about 40lb, spayed and up-to-date on shots. If you are interested in adopting her please visit treasuredfriendsreacue.org or look up Griffith Animal Control on Petfinder. We hope to find a home for her soon! She’s been in the shelter for over 2 years now. Please help us get her seen. #treasuredfriendsrescue #adoptme #dog #dogsofinstagram

Picante is heading to an adoption event at PetSmart for the first time! This guy was posted a few weeks back, but with his extra time in foster care hes really started to come out of his shell! Come meet him Saturday at PetSmart from 12-4!

Wilder asking for pets but also not wanting pets?? What a silly guy. Wilder is a very affectionate, goodest boy. He loves people and attention. He especially loves pets around the eyes for some reason. I don’t judge him. He likes what he likes. Wilder is a male, neutered black smoke cat who is available for adoption. He is FIV+ which is a manageable disease that is not directly contagious to other cats. Wilder loves other cats and wants a home with at least one other buddy to play with. His best buddy at the shelter is Gino, who is also available for adoption. For more info contact [email protected]. #treasuredfriendsrescue #blackcat #adoptme #cat #cats_of_instagram

This is Sesame. He is a very shy kitty that just started coming out during playtime. He is very shy around people but likes other cats. Here I caught him enjoying some catnip, maybe a little too much, but at least he got to blow off some steam. Living at the shelter can be stressful. Good boy Sesame! #Treasuredfriendsrescue #catrescue #cat #cats_of_instagram

The bromance continues between Wilder and Gino 😻here you see Wilder grooming Gino. Both are friendly and playful boys still looking for their forever home. Wouldn’t it be nice if they got adopted together! 🤞🏻❤️#treasuredfriendsrescue #catrescue #cat #catsofinstagram #blackcat

Lotus is waiting at PetSmart in Schererville for her forever family to come get her! Interested in adopting? Fill out an application online at http://www.treasuredfriendsrescue.org/

Wilder and Gino enjoying their playtime. These two boys love to play and wrestle with the other cats. Wilder, in black, has an adoption pending. Gino is still available. Gino is a young male that loves to play with others. He was found outside as stray. He is still shy around people but he is warming up. #treasuredfriendsrescue #rescuecat #cat #catsofinstagram #blackcat #kitty

We will be at the Schererville Petsmart tomorrow from 12-4pm! Make sure to come out and choose adoption. All of our cats and kittens are up to date on vaccines deworming and spay and neutered

Happy #GivingTuesday !! Treasured Friends has had another wonderful year! Our rescue has adopted out 630 cats and dogs so far! Another great accomplishment for our rescue was spay and neutering 168 for the public. We have received endless messages and calls asking if we can take in surrendered animals, found animals and injured animals. Treasured Friends was able to assist with MANY of these calls. Our rescues mission is to educate the public on the importance of spay and neutering your pet to avoid overpopulation. Our rescue wouldn’t be able to continue our mission without thoughtful supporters like you. Please think of Treasured Friends this #GivingTuesday. We hope to have another fantastic year in 2023!
