🐾💛 Meet Peatree 💛🐾

Peatree’s story didn’t start easy—but this resilient, fluffy pup is ready for a future full of love. Picked up as a stray, Peatree had been walking on an unhealed injury that left one of his hips in bad shape. Thankfully, he made it to LOLIN, where he got the surgery he needed—and he’s been healing like a champ ever since! 🩺🐶

Now 10 months old and about 50 lbs, Peatree is a happy, goofy, playful guy who doesn’t let his past slow him down. He’s still building strength in that leg, so he’ll need gentle walks, some patience, and maybe even a bit of physical therapy to get him back to full zoomie potential.

Here’s why Peatree might just be your perfect match:
🐶 Gets along with dogs, cats, and kids of all ages
🦴 Loves toys—especially chew toys and a good game of tug-of-war
🏡 House trained like a pro
🚫 Not a fan of crates—he prefers a cozy bed or your lap
🐾 Learning leash manners (treats help!) and eager to please

Despite a tough start, Peatree is pure joy—friendly, social, sweet, and full of life. He’s looking for a home where he can continue to heal, grow, and most of all, be included.

Think there’s a spot for Peatree on your couch—and in your heart? 🛋️❤️ He’s ready when you are.

🎉🐾 Happy Tails: Haiden’s Happily Ever After! 🐾🎉

After more than a year in the Love of Labs foster family, Haiden’s big moment has finally arrived—he’s HOME! 💛

This handsome boy came to LOLIN unsure of the world, but thanks to the love and patience of two amazing foster families—Debra Swinehamer, and then Nicky Engledow & family—Haiden grew in confidence, learned important skills, and became the best version of himself.

Now, Haiden is living the good life with his forever family, the Reyes crew, and we hear he’s the best boy! From foster care to full-time family dog, this boy is soaking up every minute of being adored.

To everyone who’s been a part of Haiden’s journey—thank you. His happy ending is a beautiful reminder of what rescue is all about. 🐶❤️

📌 July 1st is National ID Your Pet Day — and this year, it’s more important than ever for Marion County pet owners! 🐾

✨ Why ID Matters:
Every year, thousands of pets go missing during the July 4th holiday due to fireworks and festivities. A microchip is a simple, permanent way to help bring your pet home safely. Collars and tags can fall off—but a microchip is always with them.

📢 New Ordinance Alert – Marion County, Indiana
Starting January 1, 2025, a new county-wide ordinance requires:

🔹 All owned dogs and cats over 3 months old must be microchipped
🔹 Unaltered dogs over 6 months old must be registered with the Marion County Unaltered Animal Registry
🔹 The microchip is now the only legally recognized permanent ID for pets in Marion County

If your pet isn’t chipped yet, now is the time! And if you're unsure whether your contact info is up-to-date in the chip registry, take a few minutes to check—your pet’s safety depends on it.

💡 Pro Tip: Most vets and shelters can scan your pet’s chip for free and help you update the info if needed.

Let’s make sure every tail has a way home. 🐶💛

🎆 Fireworks Are Fun—for Us. Not Always for Our Dogs. 🐾
As we head into the July 4th holiday, please take a moment to plan ahead for your pup—especially if they’re sensitive to loud noises.

Many dogs experience extreme anxiety from fireworks, and shelters across the country see an increase in lost pets during this time. Let’s keep our furry friends safe and calm with a little extra prep:

🐶 Know Your Dog:
Is your pup sensitive to loud noises, storms, or sudden sounds? Don’t wait—talk to your vet now about calming medications or supplements if needed. They often book up quickly around the holiday.

🛑 Secure Your Space:
Double-check fences, gates, and doors to prevent escape if your dog gets scared. Microchip info up to date? Collar with tags on? It all matters.

🦴 Create a Comfort Zone:
Use a crate, quiet room, or favorite hiding spot
Add calming music or white noise
Use favorite toys or frozen Kongs for distraction
Try a Thundershirt or calming pheromone spray if it helps your dog

⏰ Plan Potty Breaks Early:
Get your pup out for walks and potty breaks before the fireworks start.

❤️ Be Their Calm:
Your presence helps. Stay close, stay calm, and let them know they’re safe.

Let’s make this 4th a celebration for everyone—including the dogs who count on us to protect them.

🌸 Adoptable Dog Spotlight: Lovey 🌸

True to her name, Lovey is all heart. This petite senior lady is searching for a calm, cozy home where she can do what she does best—be your loyal shadow. 🐾

Lovey isn’t one to demand the spotlight—she’s just happy to quietly follow you from room to room, nap at your feet, and be part of your everyday life. She adores other dogs (especially playful ones!), enjoys peaceful walks, and takes her backyard patrol duties very seriously. 🐦🚫

She’s house-trained, crate-trained, and a pro at car rides—even golf carts! While she’s mostly a polite lady, she might stake claim to your favorite recliner... and she has a soft spot for toys.

Lovey would do best in a home with a secure yard, older kids, and no small animals—a gentle environment where she can relax, play, and soak up love.

If you're looking for a low-key companion who’ll be by your side through every season, Lovey is ready to meet you. ❤️
