Featured Pet Of The Week

Raven, a beautiful, petite black cat who has already done an amazing job raising her two baby boys. Even though she’s been a wonderful mama, Raven is still very much a kitten herself! She has lots of playful energy and enjoys running, exploring, and interactive playtime. When she’s ready to recharge, Raven loves curling up in small, cozy spots for a well-earned nap. She would thrive in a home that gives her space to play, climb, and enjoy being young, while also offering plenty of comfort and love.

Barclay is a young, active, and friendly dog who absolutely loves his toys and bones. He is a Jack Russell terrier mix weighing approximately 45 pounds and is doing well with his house manners and is now housebroken and crate trained. Crazy about other dogs to play with too!

He is currently being trained by our foster volunteer, Monica Rivera of Dog Training by Monica. Monica describes Barkley as very smart and a quick learner. While he is high-energy and would be a great fit for an active family, he also enjoys cuddling on the couch.

If you are interested in adopting Barclay, please complete an application at hsscottcountyin.com. His adoption fee is $100 and includes neutering, vaccinations, a Heartworm test, a microchip, and is current on parasite prevention.

Please contact dogtrainings1127@yahoo.com with any questions.

"Bo" boxer/border collie mix
2 yr   neutered male

Bo hasn't been introduced to very many things in his life. Now that he is in foster home, its obvious. He's afraid of overhead fans, loud noises from the computer, fast movements on the tv. Everything! We will just go slow with him since he is certainly worth every minute it takes! Bo was turned in by owner who was older and ill. Imagine the owner kept him pretty isolated. Bo is housebroken and fine with other dogs. He also is good with cats. Bo is currently being treated for heartworm and once that treatment period is over, he should be much more socialized and ready to move into a new home! Contact emelfoster@frontier.com

"Celia" (CiCi) Patterdale Terrier
4-5 yrs   Spayed female

CiCi is an amazing little dog! She is housebroken, crate trained, walks well on a leash and has a great little personality. she also does fine with other dogs! The pictures may be deceiving but CiCi is a smaller dog probably 35-40 pounds. She is not even knee-high. she loves to get on the couch and just be petted! She also loves to go for walks and will just watch out the window to see what's going on outside! She does need a 6 ft privacy fence since she can sail over 4 foot fencing if she wants too. She has lived in an apartment in her previous life and would do well there as long as she is given long walks and exercise. If you are interested in meeting this sweetheart, contact daniellejohnson1980@yahoo.com
