"I had told Buddy that we’d go on a “first” long hike today, but the rain thwarted those plans. Instead, we headed to Ambler Flatwoods Nature Preserve, and spent time walking that trail in the rain.

Buddy surprised me…at the shelter, he’s not particularly thrilled to go out in the rain, but he was so happy to be on that trail! He did some “shakes” to get the rain off his coat, but when we got back to the car, we were both pretty soaked.

Next time, we will head to a longer hike, because he really seemed to enjoy himself this morning." -Karen, MHS Volunteer and adoptable Buddy's FetchSomeFunner.

Buddy loves hanging out with dog-friendly dogs ! His adoption fee is sponsored to an approved applicant, too! He is available to be fostered, fostered-to-adopted or adopted! Lots of options!

Ideally, we would love to see Buddy in a quieter home setting. Buddy has done well with children and has lived with them before, but we do feel that it is most important for the home to have few visitors.

If you're in need of a running buddy, consider Buddy! He loves walkies and has shown to be an awesome pacer for you to get your miles in with! Please call us at 219-872-4499 to schedule an appointment to meet this good boy. Buddy is about 39 pounds, is a little less than six years old and he is neutered🤍🖤🤍

When we suspect that a dog has been physically abused, it lights a fire in us to make sure that we find the absolute best and most loving future for that particular dog.

While x-rays of Pearl's spine led us to believe that she has potentially been abused, you would never know based on her personality and how much love she has for everyone.

Pearl has been our adoptable ambassador dog; visiting senior friends at nursing facilities, attending community outreach events, and being the most welcoming office dog at MHS. She has yet to meet a stranger. She loves everyone and is so gentle.

She LOVES people. She LOVES other dogs. She is one of the best-behaved good girls you will meet. We think she'd adore kiddos who are about 4ish and older. Pearl is pint-sized and is barely 50 pounds.

The right adopter for Pearl would be someone who is committed to making sure she stays active but is also cognizant that she does not overdo it. Daily walkies will be so beneficial for her! If there are other dogs in the home, they'll need to be gentle and soft players as Pearl can't be rough-housing or wrestling and of a proper size so they can't pounce on her and hurt her.

We do not know what her future may be like. She could become painful, or even worse, paralyzed. Which is why we so badly want to see her become adopted and live in the comfort of a home environment.

Pearl is about two years old and she is spayed. She asks for no kitty friends in her new home. Please be willing to give this sweetheart a chance. She is well worth it. Come meet her. You'll see...

"Adoptable Dewy (who has a sponsored adoption fee to an approved applicant!) is certainly talking to us more and lets us know when he wants a belly scratch🧡 His absolute favorite pastime is watching the woods out the window. He is so funny to watch as he runs from window to window following squirrels and chipmunks go by. Our hummingbird feeder is another favorite of Dewy's to monitor." -Dewy's foster mom.

He will do best in a quiet house with no children or other pets. He still startles at quick movements or loud sounds. Once he is comfortable, Dewy loves to play with crinkly toy balls, his catnip mixes, and cat dancers and he sure is becoming more and more comfortable. He grooms himself well as he likes to look his best! Eating and using the litterbox are not issues at all with good boy Dewy.

Whoever adopts Dewy will need to have a lot of patience. While it takes a long while to earn his trust, he is so worth it. Dewy is about five-and-a-half years old and is neutered. Dewy is living in a foster home! To adopt this fluffy handsome hunk, please email us at [email protected].

Senior best friends Cookie and China are just the cutest, most adorable ol' pup pair. They are each around 11 years old and have lived their whole lives together. We would love nothing more than to be able to allow them to continue living together.

Currently, they are in a foster home so the first step in adopting them is to email us at [email protected]. But, before that, please read a little bit about them...

Cookie is black and is the smaller of the two. He probably weighs around 15ish pounds. China is white/grey and weighs around 25ish pounds. They love car rides and attach themselves to those that they trust in the most beautiful way. No doubt about it, you will absolutely be adopting two new best friends.

China is more of an introvert while Cookie is more of an extrovert; especially if you have a yummy snack! He loves food! We would love to see them in a home that is overall quieter; a lot of commotion is not something that makes them comfortable.

In their previous home, and their foster home, too, they have lived with other small dogs and have done well. Kiddos should be older; 11ish and up would be best as they have never been around children.

The one thing for sure that we can tell you is that these two stole our hearts immediately. They are such happy sweethearts once they are adjusted in a home and we know they will bring so much laughter to whoever adopts them. China is spayed and Cookie is neutered. We hope you are the one to adopt them...

"Love bug Xena🩷 Just look into those beautiful eyes of hers❤️ She’s so good with kiddos! She loves toys and can easily entertain herself." -Xena's foster mom.

Xena is also great with most other friendly dogs! She is a wonderful welcoming committee to new and old friends! She has done great with being house-trained and not destructive! She is lazy but playful! Basically, she is just wonderful🩷🩷🩷

Xena asks for a home with a fenced-in yard as she thinks bunnies and kitties are a bit fun to chase! She also knows how to sit and shake paws. She's the most darling, smooshy good girl.

Xena’s ideal family would be one that likes to include their dog in their daily activities and adventures. She will give you all the love and loyalty you’ve ever imagined a dog giving a human. Xena is about five years old and is spayed.

To adopt her, please email us at [email protected] to request an application as she is currently in a foster home.

Meet Parcel! She is currently in a foster home and her adoption fee is sponsored to an approved applicant! Her story is amazing! This strong and mighty five-and-a-month-old girl was found by a mail-lady while out on her route. When she was brought to MHS as a stray, she was hanging on by a thread...but look at her now!

She is a girl on the move even though she cannot use her back legs...not being able to use her back legs well enough to walk does not stop her! She’s got mega upper body and core strength which she uses to get around quite nicely!

Parcel loves to play but also loves to perch on your shoulder for cuddles. Parcel is going to need an adopter with comfort in expressing her bladder 2-3 times daily (we can teach you!) and someone who will make sure she doesn’t hurt herself by climbing too high. She has no problem climbing! It’s the getting down that she’s not quite mastered gracefully yet, lol!

She adores her 10-year-old human foster brother. Children in the home should be about that age so they are aware of her needs and can be respectful of her fragility. Parcel lives with a small dog and a very large dog. Dogs in her new home will need to be small; around 10-15 pounds so they also can be gentle with her. She seems interested in other friendly kitty friends!" -Parcel's foster mom.

To request an application for Parcel, please email us at [email protected]. She is spayed and is available for adoption!

Hi all, my name is Titan. I love car rides. I am the most gentle boy and I take treats so politely. My legs are very long and I'm sure I could be a great walking or running pal. I know how to sit and I also shake paws.

I am affectionate, loving and loyal. I am also talkative and I love to play with a tennis ball. I adore people and it would make my heart so happy if whoever adopts me is home often.

I'm on the skinny side so the nice people at MHS are making sure that I am on a diet where I can gain weight at a healthy pace.

Depending on the other dog, I may do well with a dog-sibling for company. I ask for no kitty friends in my new home. I've not been around tiny kiddos so I think if kids were about 8ish and up, that may be alright!

I am used to sleeping on a dog bed and I love squeaky toys and daily walkies. The humans here say that my eyes are soulful and sweet; a perfect match to my personality.

I am about four-and-a-half years old, am neutered and I weigh about 58-pounds. Can we please become a family? Love, Titan.

Lil' babes Purrey and Lovey somehow are even cuter in person. Just, how?! Well, we don't know either but they sure are. Especially when a feather toy comes out! Purrey and Lovey are a bit reserved at first but they LOVE to play! And we love seeing them so happy and active and so interested!

If you have other nice cats at home who would love a fursister, that could be awesome for either girl. They can be adopted together or separately; either or! Regardless of that, we know that whoever adopts them will be totally in love because they are precious darlings.

Purrey and Lovey are about two-and-a-half months old and are spayed. They are waiting for you patiently and hopefully at MHS.

These two nearly-identical cuties are Carol and Fran! They grew up together, as clearly they are fursisters, so if you are looking for two kittens to adopt, consider these gals! If you are looking to adopt just one lil' lady, either of these sweethearts would be perfect!

They are full of life and happiness and love! And they sure are so much fun! Fran and Carol are about two months old and are spayed. Stop by MHS to meet them! 🖤🤍🖤

You can adopt one, or two, or three of these kittens! They would all be super happy on their own, with a resident cat, or with another one of their fursiblings! So, from left to right, meet Luke, Haley, and Alex!

These three kittos are almost three months old, are spayed/neutered and grew up in a foster home! They are now back at MHS but we would love for you to read what their foster mom wanted to share with you...

"They are all very playful! They love to play with wand-type toys, toys that jingle and fuzzy toys. I believe Luke is the one to carry around toys and try to ward off the other kittens from taking it away.

They will snuggle after a good romp around and a meal. They do well with the dogs, especially Haley! But the dogs are respectful so they are comfortable. They love to lay in the sunlight and also love to climb the cat tree!" -Alex, Luke and Haley's foster mom.

These lil' babes are back at MHS and are available for adoption! Come meet one, two or all three of them!
