Please, whatever you do… DO NOT adopt a cat.

Nope. Don’t even think about it. Don’t come see the kittens, don’t look at the sweet seniors, don’t imagine how warm your lap would be with a lovable cat sprawled across it.

And for the love of whiskers, don’t give our Board President the one thing she wants for her birthday tomorrow: cats going home. 😜 We know you’d rather see us post a dramatic photo of her sobbing into a litter box tomorrow when we have zero adoptions.

Definitely don’t scroll through these photos to see who you’re missing out on. 👀😻

…Did we get ya with the ole reverse psychology trick? 😉🤔 Listen, we’re desperate for adoptions and this is the best it gets 😂 We’re open from 12–6 tomorrow!

👽 NASA spent billions looking for intelligent life. Turns out, alien life form has been chilling in our kennel this whole time 😉

Meet Ghost! Ghost isn’t just a dog - he’s a whole experience.

Special Abilities Include:
🚀 Warp-Speed Zoomies – Faster than your WiFi, smoother than your neighbor’s Tesla.
🛸 Cat Crash Avoidant Technology – Sees them. Swerves out of their way. Moves on with his life.
👽 Human Connection – Will allow petting… then blast off again like he’s late for a shift at Mission Control.
💸 Treat-Operated – He doesn’t “work for free.” NASA couldn’t afford him, but your pocket of hot dogs might.
🏃 Fitness Coach Mode – Ghost is basically a 15-year-old personal trainer: motivational, high-energy, and ready to drag you into shape (literally, his leash manners are “enthusiastic”).

Despite his extraterrestrial resume, Ghost is incredibly gentle. He’s friendly with new people, gets the happy wiggles with kids, and when he’s not doing zoomie reconnaissance, he’ll happily lean in for pets like any good Earth dog should.

Ghost would thrive with an active family — a young couple that loves running, hiking, or just has a backyard for him to run and play with the kids. He’s sweet, smart, food-motivated, and one bribe away from being the best workout buddy you’ve ever had!

Meet Opie
🎂 Age: 4–5 years old
🐶 Breed: Malti-poo
💼 Occupation: Full-time Velcro dog

Opie came to us looking like a walking mop that lost a bar fight. He was so matted he had to be sedated just to get it all out. Now that he’s finally free of his dreadlocks, he has one demand: NEVER AGAIN. ❌ So yes, you WILL need to schedule grooming every 4–6 weeks. Not your vibe? Totally cool. Opie just isn’t your guy.

He’s gentle, clingy, and will happily live his best life permanently attached to your lap. If he had thumbs, he would - without a doubt- google how to superglue himself to your lap. Can you carry him everywhere you go while you’re at it too, please? He’s not asking for much here 😉😏 He’s social with other dogs and cats, can play with the older kiddos just fine, and thinks he’s hot stuff with his backyard zoomies game.

But here’s the thing, he’s not exactly housebroken. He’ll lift his leg on your hopes and dreams. He doesn’t care. So we’ll happily send him home with belly bands until his neuter hormones chill out and his brain catches onto some training.

In summary, Opie is clingy, high-maintenance, a little gross, and also 100% worth it. 😜🧡

🎉 Happy Labor Day, friends! 🎉

While some of you may be relaxing, Yang is busy putting in a full shift being lanky, dorky, and delightfully clueless about how big he really is. He’ll happily sit for his leash, strut down the kennel aisle like a pro, then suddenly remember he’s part kangaroo and try out a few vertical leaps on whoever is walking him
Don’t worry! He’s easily redirected with snacks (honestly, same 😆).

Out in the yard, he’s all about sticking close to his people, checking in for some b***y scratches. and rolling in the grass like it’s his personal spa day. Sure, fire hydrants and cats him (we don’t judge 😉), but give him an encouraging word and a treat and he’s right back to being your oversized shadow.

Yang is a young Dane/Pittie mix looking for a patient, active family who can laugh at his antics, guide him through new experiences and some basic manner training, and give him the job he really wants: being someone’s goofy best friend!

Come meet him today, we’re open 12–4pm!

**ADOPTED**

Small dog fans, gather ‘round. 🐾 Meet Zinski, the 17lb, 3-year-old Chihuahua/rat terrier mix who’s got all the spice you expect in a tiny package, but none of the ankle-biting drama and rage (yay Zinski!👏🏻)

He’s shy but not snappy, prefers a calm, older home, and will happily coexist with pets his size (as long as they don’t touch his dinner bowl. Sharing is not caring) 🐕🍽️

He’s quiet, reserved, but not the shaky chihuahua stereotype. He’s the introvert of the dog world and honestly, we respect that. If you’re looking for a pint-sized partner, come meet Zinski at the shelter today from 12-4pm!

🎓🐾 Loki is officially a part of the “Who’s a Good Boy?” Club with his new bestie & training partner, Finley! But be assured, Loki wants everyone to know that while he may be SWOON WORTHY with those luxurious locks, he’s also got the brains to back up his looks! 🧠💪🏻😍

Not only did he strut his stuff on walks (polite, easy, solid leash manners) but he also nailed his smart boy demo: sit ✅, shake ✅, and the ever-important taking treats like a gentleman ✅. Take a look at his demo video in the comments 😉⬇️

Loki would thrive in a home with plenty of walks, plenty of sniffs, and plenty of people ready to admire his smarty pants skills! He’s been great with kids, dogs, and has shown excellent kennel manners (aka no accidents!)

You never really know what kind of day it’ll be in animal rescue… 🐾

Today: a juvenile hawk needed a helping hand. Huge thanks to our friends at Soarin’ Hawk Rescue for swooping in (pun fully intended) to give this cutie the full care he needs. 🦅

Last week: we got a “seven-foot monster snake” call. After visions of anaconda-level drama… it turned out to be a sweet little ball python catching some rays in the backyard. 🐍☀️ That guy now has a new home with a previous adopter!

From hawks to huskies, pythons to pitties - you truly never know what the next call will bring. And that’s exactly why we love what we do. 🩵

🦉🐍🐑🐖Be kind to all kinds 🐈🐩🦧🐊

**ADOPTED**

Tank heard us say low-rise jeans are coming back into style and wants to know if that popularity also applies to low-ride pups? He’s asking for a friend, of course. 😆😏

Meet Tank.
He’s two years old, built like a speed bump, and shorter than your coffee table.

Tank’s hobbies include:
•Stealing blankets like it’s a full-time job.
•Having zero respect for your personal space.
•Pretending he’s a big dog.

He’s kid-friendly, dog-friendly, cat-overly friendly (as in he REALLY, REALLY wants to be liked by cats so your kitties need to be pretty tolerant of his pushy and slightly obsessive behaviors), and absolutely not cold-friendly. Indiana winters? 🥶 Only if you buy him a closet full of sweaters.

Tank thinks he’s best reason to cancel your weekend plans and we couldn’t agree more 😉 Adoption hours: Sat/Sun 12–4, Labor Day 12–4.

👀 LOOK. AT. THEM. NOW. 🚨
We know we promised you a video… but honestly? We were too busy absolutely losing our minds over these ridiculously photogenic pups that landed in our care. 😍📸

This Labor Day weekend could be the one you meet the love of your life (four paws, wet nose, dreamboat eyes 💕).

📅 Holiday Adoption Hours:
➡️ Saturday: 12–4
➡️ Sunday: 12–4
➡️ Monday (Holiday Hours): 12–4

You. Can’t. Miss. Out. On. These. Kids. 🐾

You might be sitting there scrolling and thinking, “Wait… why has the shelter not been blowing up my timeline like usual?” 🤯🤔

Welllll… we’ve been busy. Like BUSY busy. The kind of busy where we blinked and somehow we’re fully loaded with new doggos and still bursting at the seams with cats. (Seriously, someone turn off the kitten faucet!)

For the sake of ALL the furry freeloaders currently in our care, can you help us out with some supplies?

👉 Wet cat food
👉 Cat Chow (how we don’t own stock in Purina yet is beyond us 😅).
👉 Bleach
👉 And if you check our Chewy wishlist, you’ll see some new mats we’re trying out for both the cats and the pups.

Oh, and if you’d like to see exactly who is eating all this food and lounging on all these mats, tune in tonight - we’ll be dropping some videos of our furry friends. 🐾
