Featured Pet Of The Week

Lumpy is a lab mix pup approximately 4 months old. He weighs 29 lbs and is neutered. He came to HSSCI with a pretty bad abscess on his back end caused from a bite (hence the name Lumpy) He had surgery to take care of it along with a good round of antibiotics and now he is as good as new! He is currently working on his leash skills and learning quickly.
He is very energetic and will need a family who has patience and time to help him realize what a good boy he is. He would also do best with a fenced in yard. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please complete our adoption questionnaire at hsscottcountyin.com.

Sunny is a gorgeous orange classic tabby who has quickly won hearts with his gentle, loving nature. He enjoys being around people, loves attention and has a calm sweetness that's impossible to ignore. Sunny also happens to be FIV positive. FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) affects a cat's immune system over time but many FIV-positive cats live long, healthy lives, especially when kept indoors, given regular vet care and a stress-free environment. It's not contagious to people or to other species, and it is only spread to other cats through deep bite wounds which are uncommon in peaceful, indoor cats. Ideally, Sunny would do best as the only cat in the home or with another calm, non-aggressive cat. Sunny is not defined by his diagnosis. He's a beautiful loving cat who just needs a chance. If you're looking for a quiet, affectionate companion and are open to giving a special cat the life he deserves, Sunny is waiting for you. Meet Sunny at the adoption center at 1176 N. Gardner from 5-7 Tuesday through Friday or Saturday from 1-3 or complete the online application at www.hsscottcountyin.com

Joey - Dachshund/Pit mix
3 years   Male neutered

YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND!
Joey is such a great dog. He was originally adopted to be a friend to a couples existing dog. The existing dog was not a big fan of Joey and it was creating quite a bit of stress for him and his people. The owner felt it was best to surrender Joey and hope he finds a more suitable home.
Joey is a chunky guy at 57# and needs to lose some weight. He would be a great walking buddy for someone as he walks well on a leash. He loves car rides and just about anything with his people. He is very laid-back and quiet. He knows several commands and is housebroken.
Joey would probably be best as an only dog. He is not a fan of cats. Joey is good with kids.

A tall fence would be best since he stands on his hind legs and easily looks over a 4 foot chain link fence. He has never tried to climb over but it is possible.
