Featured Pet Of The Week

Pumpkin has lost her home of many years due to owner’s illness. She is approximately ll yrs old but still has plenty of get up and go and would love a home to share the rest of her years with! Fully housebroken and good with other dogs. She knows how to sit and give her paw. Even better, she pays NO attention to cats! Needs to lose a little weight since she is tipping the scales at 50 pounds. Contact s_miles70@yahoo.com

Max, domestic longhair tabby & white, was adopted from us 10 yours ago but due to unforeseen circumstances, he recently returned to our care. Despite our concerns about how he'd readjust in the center, Max quickly reminded us just how special he is. He's incredibly sweet, gentle and affectionate. He's looking for a quiet home where he can peacefully enjoy his senior years. He prefers canned food over kibble and since he's longhaired, he'll need a bit of help staying tidy. Daily brushing or regular grooming appointment will keep him comfortable and looking his best. If you're looking for a quiet deeply loving companion, Max is ready for you. Please stop by the adoption center, Tuesday through Friday from 5-7 or Saturday from 1-3 to meet him or complete the online application at www.hsscottcountyin.com

"Celia" Patterdale Terrier
5-6 yrs   female

Good sized girl for a family. Probably about 35-40 pounds. Owner never came for her or her friend, so they are now available to go to new homes. Great on a leash!!! Got to go for a walk today and loved every minute of it! He is an escape artist so needs an extremely secure fence. No cats, please! Contact shadyblue64@outlook.com

"Dixie" yellow lab
1 - 2 yrs   female

What a nice girl! Someone worked with her at one time but somehow she ended on her own with a litter of puppies and had to fend for herself and the babies. The babies must have found homes but mom ended up with us. She is tentative at first but once she knows you are one of the "good folks", she will follow you anywhere. May be housebroken and has some ball drive. Good with other dogs and ignores cats. Once she has some "meat on her bones" and her coat looks better, she will be a terrific looking lab!

15 week   spayed female

Wendy is all puppy! She is doing well on going potty outside and is learning to sit. She is very loveable, likes to lay on the couch at times and just chew on a bone.

"Hershey" lab mix
1-2 yrs   male

Hershey is a good looking boy on top of being happy and ENERGETIC and smart. He likes other dogs and is a very fast learner. He really wants to please his people and his foster home is teaching him some basic obedience skills. Housebroken. Family that originally found him said he was great with their children! Fenced in yard is probably needed so he can have space to get rid of some of his puppy energy!!!
Contact emelfoster@frontier.com

"Raisen" - Chihuahua/rat terrier mix
2-3 yrs   neutered Male

Raisen has turned the corner and is no longer afraid. He now comes running to his foster mom for pets! A fun little boy but just tested positive for heartworm! People always say to us "he can't have heartworm, he's a housedog". That's just not true. Even inside dogs can be bitten by an infected mosquito and end up like little Raisen! We will be treating him the first week in June. Please complete our adoption questionnaire at www.hsscottcountyin.com to see if he is a good match for your household. We would appreciate financial help to pay for the heartworm treatment for this little fella! thank you in advance! Contact garriottdenise@gmail.com

"Bishop" lab/border collie mix
7-8 yrs   male

Bishop was found running with a friend and neither ever got reclaimed so Bishop is with us now and we are learning more about him. He appears housebroken and used to being in a house and is crate broken. However, he is an escape artist so needs an extremely secure fenced area when he is outside getting exercise. He should never be outside alone since he will find a way to freedom! Fine with other dogs but prefers not to have another dog directly in his face. Good boy!!! contact kjbarger@hotmail.com

"Gabe" lab mix
12 wks   male

Cute, active puppy that loves everybody and everything. Loves the cats a bit too much and likes to chase them! He is learning to sleep all night in a crate and how to potty outside. Seems to be pretty smart little guy. Contact emelfoster@frontier.com

5 years    Female

Ellie is currently a medical foster. She is not available at this time. We will update her bio once she is feeling better.
She’s a sweetheart!

"Ozzy" shepherd/hound mix
6 months   Neutered male

A great guy! He is going to be a big boy when he gets older but right now, he is a good size. He was turned into the shelter since he has a thing about chickens! Probably be best if he went to a poultry-free home! He's good with other dogs and great with people...its just those pesky chickens that got him. Loves to run and play and roughhouse with other dogs! Contact lrhoward617@gmail.com

"Missy" hound/dox mix
2 yr   female

Kind of an odd mix of hound and something a little longer. Missy is housebroken and enjoys being in the house. She sleeps in a crate at night with no objection. Unfortunately, Missy, like so many others, has been diagnosed with heartworm and has just been treated. The damage from last year's mosquitoes is showing up now and more and more dogs are testing positive. Missy is ok with other dogs but much prefers her people so she would enjoy a life watching TV alone with her new owners. Probably a catless home would be best for her. Very loving dog. Missy will be available by mid-June. Contact emelfoster@frontier.com

"Nick" beagle mix
2 yr   Neutered male

Nick was surrendered by owner who is in ill health. His pups were surrendered a couple of weeks ago and now it's his turn to find a forever home. He's on the shy side but he has come a long way. A gentle boy but is becoming Mr. social man the more comfortable he is! Came to an adoption fair this weekend and seemed to enjoy the activity!!! 32 pounds so he's a perfect size!!! Contact shadyblue64@outlook.com

"Waylon" cattle dog
1 yr   Neutered male

He's an adult but jumps around just like a puppy! a little hesitant around new things so don't think he or his brother have seen a lot of new things in their lives. Apparently abandoned but now safe with us! Walks well on a leash and enjoys the walks. Great with letting us groom and clip nails. contact kjbarger@hotmail.com. 32 pounds. Complete application at www.hsscottcountyin.com to arrange a meet/greet with Waylon.

"Bandit" border collie mix
2-3 yrs   Neutered male

Bandit, 2 to 3 yr old border collie mix, seems to be a nice boy and does well with female dogs but we have found he can be selective with male dogs. Loves to play hard with his foster friend and is tolerant when they play rough. Housebroken, crate trained and walks well on a leash. 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. He is excellent with children and people! No cats. Weighs in at 70#. Contact kjbarger@hotmail.com
