*NEGATIVE COMMENTS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.

Draco -
He's a Very Large blue nose, full blooded pitbull. He was born in January of 2017.
We don't know the exact day as he was brought home by one of my son's that planned on keeping him but that didn't work out.
He's a very laid back and super loving dog but he's not used to being around alot of people.
He has had an entire family of people to love him and play with him until recently and he's been happy.
He's perfectly potty trained as long as he's on a set schedule.
He does stress easy so he doesn't care for screaming or yelling at all.
He's always been good with the kids I've had him around but that wasn't many and he's so big that I tried to make sure he wasn't around babies.
To whomever wants to love this Big Baby, please know he'll be making a drastic adjustment for the first few wks to mnths after you get him as he's never been away from the family he's always been with and
He has a son that is being rehomed as well and they've never been apart since Gunner was born so please be understanding to and for him, Thank You ahead of time for giving him patience and time😊
Btw, HE LOVES TO WRESTLE
I sure do love this Big baby but I'm disabled and have to find new living arrangements for myself as well and it breaks my heart to give my baby

Gunner-
He was born around the first of December of 2018.
He is Draco's pup and is half miniature black lab.
He's much smaller than Draco but is still just as playful and crazy as a new pup.
He loves cuddles and playing in the floor and toys.
He's a bit on the sketchy side tho.
He doesn't care to be around alot of people and loud noises.
He loves looking out windows and going for rides.
He's still got so many yrs in him to love and play that he needs more space and a bigger place to run.
If someone is interested in taking this loving baby in, he will give you so much love.

Both pets have not been to a vet, the shelter would be more than happy to help with their medical care if someone takes them!

Meet Nigel!
Many of you know Nigel has been with us for quite some time now. Nigel is approximately 8 years old now, neutered and has all vaccines
We have previously labeled him as dog aggressive, but our amazing volunteers have spent lots of time with him getting him to warmed up to other dogs. We believe Nigel has NEVER met a dog in his life and just does not know how to react. With time he has made great progress with SLOW introductions. He is not aggressive, but reactive. The difference between those two things is, he does not try to attack the other dogs and be aggressive, he just becomes very vocal and unsure, which is reactive. We do believe Nigel can be adopted to a home with another dog, BUT that owner needs to be dedicated to making it work by doing things very slowly, and understanding that he is new to this and just needs time. He is a fantastic dog, we are excited with the progress he has made and hope his forever home will come soon!💕🐾

This is a courtesy post, this dog is not at the shelter. Absolutely no negative comments.

OMG! This girl is absolutely gorgeous. she is a two year old full-blooded Alaskan malamute and her name is MIKA. Due to unforeseen circumstances, she needs to be rehomed. She is a high energy dog so either needs a fenced in yard or a lot of exercise daily. She does well on a leash, loves her chew toys, does well with other dogs, but is a dominant female. She is crate trained and loves people Including kids. She does have a little food aggression so needs to be fed separately from other dogs.. If you would like more information on Mika, please call Meghann at 317 –452-6072.

This sweet girls still needs a home! If you’re interested, please call the phone number in the post

08/19/2024

Update- arrangements are being made for a family member to come get Cookie!

We are looking for a foster for this old gal. Her name is Cookie and she is pretty old, her owner has unfortunately passed away so now she is at the shelter with us. The shelter is no place for a dog like her, she needs a warm comfy couch to sleep on. She seems to do fine with other dogs, she also appears to be partially blind. We are still hoping a family member will come forward and want to take her, but until then we’d like to get her into a foster home. If you’d be willing to foster her, please fill out a foster application at friendsfcanimalshelters.com under the “fostering” tab

We have lots of great dogs waiting for their forever homes! Come visit us tonight from 5pm-7pm to adopt!
