Dropped off at the front gate in a crate. Owner finally called that evening to be sure someone found her! Said they were just unable to care for her properly.

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!

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

7-8 yrs   Neutered 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 sure enjoys a crate. 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. Pretty decent on a leash. Good boy!!! 57 pounds,. contact kjbarger@hotmail.com

"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 mix
2 yr   Spayed 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 been treated. She is now ready for adoption. 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. A 50 pound couch potato! 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

PENDING... 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
