More Pets Who Need Homes     Last updated  2010-09-03

"Ripley" - 60 lb Rhodesian Ridgeback Mix
7 months   Male

Sweet and handsome boy who needs some practice walking on a leash, but has LOTS of potential!

"Mo" - NEUTERED & UTD Black DSH
4 months   Male

Born around 4/28/10, my cute sister (Mini) and I need to find forever homes ASAP. We would love the chance to stay together, but know that may not be possible. And we wouldn't turn down separate homes if necessary. I'm sure we would adjust. We're litter box trained and full of kitten energy! We'll make you laugh!

"Ronnie" - 75-80 lb Rottweiler
   Male

Great personality and walks well on a leash! And sits on command!

"Mini" - SPAYED & UTD Black DSH
4 months   Female

My sweet brother (Mo) and I were born around 4/28/10 and would like to have a forever home together, but if that isn't possible, we will go to separate homes. We REALLY love each other, though, and do everything together. We're litter box trained and have lots of kitten energy to make you laugh!

"Roddy" - 35-40 lb Rott/Shepherd Mix
1-2 years   Male

Very friendly and active boy who would make a great pet! Came to the pound with his buddy, Kip. Leash training is going well.

"Kip" - 40-45 lb Retriever/Border Collie Mix
2 years   Male

Very handsome and active boy who came to the pound with his buddy, Roddy. Gets very excited when he first gets out of his kennel, but once he settles down, he walks well on a leash.

"Petunia" - SPAYED & UTD Orange & White DSH
Young   Female

Petunia and Patrick were most likely thrown from a vehicle by the looks of the "road rash" on their necks! What a terrible way to treat this pretty little girl and her brother. She was frightened by the all the barking dogs, so she didn't feel much like posing for pictures. Can you please rescue her from this terrible place?

"Mitzi" - 25-30 lb Hound Mix
1 year   Female

Possibly Master and Mirra's sibling. Needs some leash training, but will let you handle her, check her teeth, feet, etc without a peep! Was terrified when she first came to the pound, but by the time her photo session was done, she was giving the photographer kisses! With a little TLC, she will make a great companion!

"Masters" - 40 lb NEUTERED & UTD Hound Mix
1 year   Male

Larger of the three (Mirra and Mitzi). Sweet boy with an outgoing personality! Needs leash training, but seems to learn quickly. A very good boy!

"Patrick" - NEUTERED & UTD Orange & White Tabby
Young   Male

Petunia's cute little brother. Both were most likely thrown from a vehicle from the looks of some "road rash" on them. They are a little overwhelmed by all the barking dogs at the shelter, but anxious for human attention.

"Mirra" - 25-30 lb Hound Mix
1 year   Female

Most likely Masters' and Mitzi's sister. Simply terried at the pound, but lets you handle her with no problems. Just a sweet and shakey girl who needs a little TLC.

"Piper" - 35 lb Wire-Haired Terrier Mix
2 years   Male

Short little guy who is very easy to handle. Lets you pick him up and carry him around. Very people friendly and introduces well to other dogs. After one special leash training lesson by a young volunteer, he was walking pretty well on a leash. Likes young people and tries to please. Very nice little dog.

"Candie" - 40 lb SPAYED & UTD Mixed Breed
1 year   Female

Appropriately named Candie, because she is a SUPER sweet girl with a beautiful brindle colored coat. An extremely sweet tempered, gentle little girl. Her big ole ears may be erect one minute and floppy the next! You can see from her smile how sweet she is! Takes commands and sits very well for you, and also walks well on a leash. Accepts other dogs well.

"Harley" - 50 lb NEUTERED Black Lab Mix
9 months   Male

Harley desperately needs a home, or at least a foster home, very soon. He is being boarded at the vet's office temporarily due to lack of foster space for him. He can sometimes be kind of bossy with other dogs, but not aggressive. He just needs to be shown in a loving way that he isn't the boss. His recent neuter will hopefully help with this soon, too. He just needs a family (or foster home) who is willing to spend some time with him and give him lots of love, which we don't think he has had in the past.

Please contact Paula at 765-647-3248 or animalrescue911@hotmail.com to inquire about adopting or rescuing Harley.

"Sage" - SPAYED & UTD Tiger-striped DSH
   Female

Beautifully marked and very people friendly! Lucky's mother and Sugar's friend, all losing their home through no fault of theirs.

"Elmer" - 25 lb Beagle Mix
9 months   Male

Friendly and handsome boy who has that typical Beagle characteristic; nose to the ground and tail in the air!

"Marlene" - SPAYED & UTD Tiger Striped Kitten
8-9 weeks   Female

Cute little girl who is playful and people friendly.

"Shadow" - Black DSH
7-8 weeks   

Cute kitten! Happy's sibling.

"Captain" - 20 lb Hound Mix
5 years   Male

A friendly fellow!

"Jackie" - Torti
2 months   Female

One of four females in the litter of five adorable homeless babies.

Two have died, but three little girls are still looking for loving, forever homes.

"Susie" - 45 lb SPAYED & UTD Akita Mix
1 year   Female

Beautiful girl! People friendly.

"Janel" - Torti
2 months   Female

Cute sister of Jackie and Jen.

"Happie" - 15 lb NEUTERED & UTD Beagle Mix
5-6 months   Male

Most likely Liberty's (who has already been rescued) brother; picked up together and the same size and age. A little overwhelmed right now, but to be expected. Cute little dogs that just need a little TLC.

"Petey" - 55 lb Hound/Greyhound Mix
1 year   Male

Came to the pound with Pixie, but is a lot more timid than Pixie right now. Will let you pet him and scratch his head and should improve with some volunteer work.

"Jen" - Black DSH
2 months   Female

Yet another of the four females in a litter of five cute kitties.

Please help! The county pound is no place for these babies to grow up! Two have already died, but three little girls are still hoping to be rescued.

"Diggy" - NEUTERED, UTD & MICROCHIPPED 25 lb Fox Terrier Mix
2 1/2-3 years   Male

Diggy is not a digger. That's just the name that was given to him. A darling boy who was rescued last fall and at the time only had one good eye. While in foster care, he loss the sight in his good eye due to glaucoma. However, he is the same happy boy he was when he could see! He knows his way around the house and still runs and plays fetch! Gets along with other dogs, but would prefer being the only dog in his new home. Loves to lay on the couch and cuddle, too.

**Please contact Paula at animalrescue911@hotmail.com or 765-647-3248 to inquire about adopting or rescuing Diggy.

"Greer" - 60 lb NEUTERED (Blind) Black Lab Mix
5-6 years   Male

Greer is a handsome, sweet and heartbreaking boy who has come to us totally blind. He is the gentlest dog his foster mom has ever been around! Finds his way around very well and is completely house trained! He allows you to do anything with him. He goes easily on a leash and will go in his kennel with no problem and sleeps all night in it. He has staked out a place in front of the computer where he lays...will follow you to another roon...prefers to be in the same room with people. Just the best guy in the world and absolutely NO trouble! His new foster mom is very impressed with him. Would be a great companion and seems to get along fine with other dogs. This guy is very deserving of a home that he can call his own. He is sleek and healthy, other than his eyesight; already neutered, heart worm tested and UTD on vaccinations.

Please give Greer a chance at a loving home, which he so deserves.


"Ginger" - Medium-size, SPAYED & UTD Collie/Hound Mix
4-5 years   Female

Ginger's "dad" had to move and "couldn't" take her, so now she is homeless. Great with adults, children, cats and other dogs! Very sweet natured! I'm already house trained, too!

**Please contact Paula at animalrescue911@hotmail.com or 765-647-3248 to inquire about adopting or rescuing Ginger.

"Jesse James" - 25 lb Jack Russell Mix
4-5 years   Male

Jesse was taken to the pound because his young owner had to make a choice between Jesse and a new dog. Unfortunately, Jesse lost. He is a typical little terrier who has a ton of energy, loves to run and chase just about anything/anyone. Walks well on a leash and responds well to voice command. He stands in his kennel and "asks" to be taken out, first with his eyes, then with his voice. If you know and love Jack Russells, this little guy may be the right pick for you. He will fill your days with energy, silliness and love!

"Mabel" - 40 lb SPAYED & UTD Hound Mix
1 year   Female

Mabel is a very, very, nice and calm dog who came to the pound with her six puppies; 4 females and 2 males. One has a bob tail and they look like their were multiple fathers! The pups are posted separately.

"Junior" - 55 lb NEUTERED Mixed Breed
7-10 months   Male

A happy go lucky guy who wants to play with all the other dogs!

"Bart" - 60 lb Flat Coated Retriever
3 years   Male

Friendly boy with a beautiful long, black, silky coat. Previous owner claimed he didn't get along with another large male dog in the home, but he's okay with the large resident male dog at the pound. So, who knows?!

"Cookie" - 35-38 lb American Staffordshire Mix
1 1/2-2 years   Female

A nice girl who doesn't try to chase chats, even though she's had the chance. Seems fine with other dogs, too. Pulls some on a leash, but calms down about 5 minutes into her walk. She just needs some practice. Very intelligent and learns quickly. Shakes paw, fetches a ball and will even bring it back to you! (See pic #2) Volunteers are working with her and a frisbee now! She listens very well!

"Purdy"
7-8 months   Female

VERY, VERY friendly! LOVES people AND playing!!! Mostly white and just beautiful!!

"Billy" - 70 lb Shepherd/Rott Mix
2-3 years   Male

Billy is one of 14 dogs that was confiscated from horrendous conditions at his last "home", living with a log chain around his neck. He needs a good grooming, but they are giving him some time to adjust before putting him through that. He is adjusting well to his life at the pound and gets along very well with his "neighbors". He can be handled and will just get better and better with good treatment and kind people.

"Hollister" - 55-60 lb NEUTERED American Pit Bull Terrier Mix
2 years   Male

LOVES people, listens well, has been around small children and was wonderful! Lets you handle him in any way you want. Has walked with other dogs and shows no aggression towards them. Absolutely no cats, though.

"Twix" - 65-70 lb NEUTERED American Bulldog/Lab Mix?
2 years   Male

This big ole boy was dumped at the gate of the county pound when it was closed. He's SUPER friendly and has a quite striking appearance. Too bad his previous "family" didn't appreciate or love him. He is big, athletic and will need a place to really run and exercise. He's a bit "pully" on the leash, but is easy to handle and very, very people friendly! He is interested in cats and probably would need to be taught to respect them, but he is very smart and works hard to please.

"Buddy" 40 lb Collie Mix
10 yrs   Male

Owner had home foreclosed on and had to move into small apartment....no dogs allowed.... Doesn't act his age and walks really well on a leash! Very good natured boy who didn't object to a slight fur trim by strangers, though he still needs a good grooming.

"Ricky" - 25 lb NEUTERED, UTD & MICROCHIPPED Fox Terrier
9 years   Male

Ricky is a very handsome 9-10 year old Fox Terrier weighing 25 lbs. He lost his home of six years through no fault of his and now Ricky is again looking for his forever home. Thankfully, his former foster mom took him in again until she can find a home for him.

Ricky is very affectionate, calm, gentle and good with cats and other adult dogs. Puppies can be a little too hyper for him, though. He loves to run and play fetch with his squeaky toys! Ricky listens very well and responds quickly to instructions. He is already neutered, UTD on his vaccinations, microchipped and on heart worm preventive. He survived heart worms before he was adopted the first time and is in very good health now. He just needs another chance at a forever home. He is crate trained and house trained, so he wouldn't be any trouble at all. He is content in his crate and is well behaved when loose in the house. He doesn't jump on furniture, even though the other animals in the house do. We don't know if he was trained that way or just prefers to stay on solid ground. He does love curling up in a nice soft dog bed, though. He just needs a family to love and spoil him the way he deserves. Ricky still has a LOT of love to give some lucky family and would make a great forever companion!!

****Please contact Pat at sonshinechristian@juno.com for an application or if you have any questions about this special guy!

"Tommy" - 60 lb Akita? Mix
2-3 years   Male

Friendly boy with "great" ears!

"Hazel" - 40 lb SPAYED & UTD Pitt
10-12 months   Female

Friendly and beautiful girl. Very loving and most of the time doesn't seem interested in other dogs. Needs some practice walking on a leash, but is learning quickly. Handles well and responds to voice commands well. She has a lot of potential.
