Ellis Grey is one of the sweetest cats you’ll meet. She purrs almost all the time and has the most endearing gruff meow! She was a wonderful mother to her 5 kittens, and was so patient with them and their antics. With that patience, she could make a great pet for a home with children! She loves chasing after wand toys and balls, and she does a great job using her scratcher. Pictured is Ellis cuddling with her daughter, Meredith Grey.

Odin is a 2 year old Pitt Bull Terrier mix who embraces his inner puppy. His love of life (and toys) is joyfully expressed with excited enthusiasm. He has lived with and loves cats. He has done well with female dogs, but would require a meet and greet prior to adoption if there are other dogs in the home. Odin's energetic personality is best suited to a family with children 12+ years old who can welcome his vivacious love of life!

Mimzy currently lives at the St. Joseph County Humane Society. She is a cuddly and sweet bully breed mix who would love to be your new best friend. This cutie pie is playful, but what she loves most in the world is snuggling up to you and giving lots of kisses! She is definitely a lapdog. Mimzy will be the perfect companion to watch lots of holiday movies with and help you bake human and puppy cookies.

PeeWee Herman - Terrier Mix - 2 years old.
Sweet and playful. Loves squeaky toys!
Does well with most other dogs. Must feed separately.
Needs a home with no small children. 13+ only

Sassy is an adorable 3 year old labrador/shepherd mix looking for her perfect family! She was sadly surrendered to the shelter because her previous family could no longer care for her. We were told that she is both housebroken and crate trained. She previously lived with children, dogs, and cats, and we were told she did well with them all. She does not like kittens, ducks, or chickens. Sassy can easily jump a 4 foot fence, so she will need to go to a home with a 6 foot privacy fence to make sure she stays safe and in her yard. Sassy is very sweet, playful, and gentle. She knows "sit" and she gives hugs when you ask her to! It's too cute!  

Juneau is a quiet 8 year old Chow Chow looking for a quiet furever home.This sweet girl came in as a stray with another dog, and has done well around most dogs at the shelter. Like most Chow's, she's very independent, but loyal to those she knows and loves. She would love to find a calm home where she can get all the love and comfort she deserves. The shelter believes she is at least partially deaf. Juneau would prefer a home with no children, but older teenagers should be fine. Just for your information; a mass on Juneau was tested and diagnosed as a lipoma. A lipoma is a benign (not cancerous) fatty tumor.

This is Buddy, he is about 3 years old, neutered, and he thinks that going for a walk is the best thing ever! Buddy has pretty long legs and is an awesome jogging partner! His tail doesn't stop wagging, can be pretty goofy, and he likes to give kisses! Buddy does pretty well with house training and doesn't really cause many issues when left alone. Every now and then he likes to chew, but if you give him a bone or something that seems to help! Buddy has lived with kiddos in the past but prefers them to be 12+. Buddy does ok with female dogs, but other male dogs or cats, not so much.

 

Arnold is an extremely sweet and affectionate 4 year old labrador/pitbull mix. He came to the humane sociaty as a stray with severe hair loss on his neck. He is now getting a lot of TLC from the staff! He already knows "sit" and would love to learn cool new things with the perfect family. He loves to cuddle and be as close as possible to his favorite people. He can be a little bit shy at first, but once he gets to know people he an absolute sweetheart. Due to his timid nature and anxiety, if he goes home with children, he'd prefer they be at least 13+ or older.

Joey is a BIG 80 pound bully mix looking for the perfect home! This sweetie pie arrived at the shelter with very little training; the staff are working with him daily to learn better manners. He knows "sit" and is working on learning other cool tricks. He's very playful and needs lots of exercise. He would do best in an active home with an experienced large breed dog owner. Joey is making tons of progress everyday, but he will do best in a home of his own.

Sir Peter is a BIG boy who is 7 years old and looking for his perfect home! This sweet boy was surrendered due to the owner's health issues. Sir Peter is about 20 pounds overweight, weighing about 95 pounds. His excess weight is due to hyperthyroidism, and his new family will have to monitor his health. The Humane Society was told by his previous owners that he is housebroken, lived with another older, calm dog, and is gentle and submissive with cats. He previously lived with older children, and if there are children in the house of his new family, it would be best if they're at least 10+ due to his size and his pain from his extra weight. He can be very shy at first, but when he warms up he is a gentle giant who loves sitting next to you and being loved on.

Nixon is a handsome 5 year old cat looking for his furever home! This sweet boy was found as a stray in rough shape. After lots of TLC, he is ready for adoption! He is very friendly and playful. He does not like other animals. If he goes to a home with children, he would prefer they be at least 13+.

Your Pet of the Week is "Precious". She is the cutest cat in the World! She is also quite sassy. Precious doesn't care much for other cats so she lives in her own kitty condo.

Hi, I'm Aslan! I'm about 10 years old, and I am a very calm and quiet boy. I am perfectly content with lazing around and sleeping the day away. I would love to find a nice home where I can relax and give you love! I have been at the shelter well over a year arriving in February 2018.

Meet Dexter!

He is just a month shy of celebrating his 9^th birthday but you would not believe it! He is a happy energetic fella that loves a good walk/run. Dexter is sweet, calm and doesn’t know a stranger, everyone is his friend!

Dexter came to the Elkhart County Humane Society as a stray so they don’t know much about his past.- Dexter was brought in by a concerned citizen who found him wandering the streets. He has been neutered and is up to date on his vaccinations. He is a happy fella that would love a home of his own!

Contact the Elkhart County Humane Society for more information!

Meet Grizzly Adams! This poor pup has been ignored for a long time, we need YOUR help finding him his furever home!

Grizzly Adams is an energetic 3 year old American Bulldog mix is a sweet dog came into the humane society as a stray and sadly nobody came looking for him. He came in underweight and the staff at the St. Joseph County Humane Society has worked diligently on getting him back up to a healthy weight. He already knows "sit". He is very playful and excitable. The staff is working with him on learning manners, like not to play rough or jump up on people, and his new family will need to continue working with him. Due to this, if there are children in the home he would prefer they be at least 13+ and no other animals in the home.

Meet these little guys looking for their forever home! They are brothers and if they went home together that would be awesome but not a deal breaker. If anyone is interested they can contact Roxanne at Pet Refuge.

Seabiscuit is a BIG boy looking for his perfect home! This sweet 3 year old is as tall as most of the employees at the St. Jo County Humane Society when he stands up. He knows "sit", "shake", and "lie down". He loves giving kisses and cuddling. He is very playful and loves to run, play with toys, and chase tennis balls! He would love a fenced in yard to play in, but he would also do well with lots of daily exercise with an active family who like to go on runs, walks, and hikes. Seabiscuit would prefer to be the only dog in the home because he gets very jealous when there is food around. Because he is so big and likes to jump up, if he goes to a home with kids, they should be at least 8+ so he doesn't accidentally knock anyone over.

Restrictions - No other dogs, Children 8+, No apartments

Meet Shelby! From the St. Joe County Humane Society, one of their favorite girls, Shelby. She is currently their longest canine resident at the shelter. She's been there since 3/10/19. We'd love to help them find her a new best friend as she's been overlooked for so long. Shelby is a very sweet 6 year old pitbull mix. She was sadly abandoned and is ready to find the perfect family to love her. She came in to the shelter extremely overweight, weighing in at a whopping 105 pounds. She has been on a strict diet and will need to continue it once adopted so she can get down to a healthy size. She knows "sit" and loves tennis balls and toys. She is very affectionate and cuddly, but can be a little shy when she first meets you. Because of how timid she is, plus some joint pain from being so overweight, if she goes to a home with children the shelter would prefer they be at least 6+.
