Meet JJ – Male 3-year-old 66# Pointer Mix. He came to the humane society when his owner was no longer to care for him. He recently had a dog day out with one of their volunteers and had such fun! He is ready for a home of his own. He got to practice his manners and was amazing!

On his dog day out, he got to chill at a home, got a bath and got to run and play. The HSEC Volunteer noted he is dog friendly and wanted to play, but the other dog is an old dog that wanted to be left alone. JJ accepted that with no problem. JJ knows how to sit and lay down. He is very calm, loves people, loves to be a lap dog, and get as many belly rubs as he can possibly get. He is not big on dog treats, or Nyla bones. He loved chew bones and summer sausage. 

His adoption fee is $170. JJ and all his friends can be met online at www.elkharthumanesociety.org/adopt
 

Rod Serling – 2 year old male Pitbull Terrier Mix – Brindle and White

"When I first arrived at the shelter, I was a frightened stray dog and everything was new. The people here have been really nice though. They are helping me learn that even though new things are scary, I am brave and smart and loved. I'm learning to walk on a leash and learning that it feels really nice to be petted and brushed. I get more social every day and the volunteers and staff are so proud of the progress I've made. Come meet me, and don't worry if I'm a little timid at first. I'll be your new best friend before you know it."

"Are you in the market for an alarm system that will let you know when a car pulls in the driveway or a squirrel crosses the yard or a threatening leaf blows across the street? If so, I might be just the beautiful, vocal pupper you are looking for. I'm not just a one-trick-pony, though. I'm also a personal trainer that will ensure that you are out of bed early for your morning run and will even join you! As a four year old terrier, I still maintain my puppy-ish energy and charm. Come meet me and see if we are a good match! I get along great with kids. Call 574-848-4225 or email at info@elkharthumanesociety.org today to find out more about me."

Tess says...

“I was running stray when I decided to have a delicious chicken dinner. I didn't think anyone would mind, but the chickens sure did and their owner wasn't very impressed either! Who knew? I was never reclaimed and the staff began preparing me for the adoption center. That's when the bad news hit that I tested positive for heartworms. Heartworm is treatable, but it's much better (not to mention safer and cheaper) to avoid it in the first place. The good news is I have finished treatment and am looking for a nice couch to crash on. Since I have been in the shelter so long, I have potty trained myself and rarely have accidents in my kennel.
