Adopt Bambi Today

Shepherd

Spayed/Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped

Adult Female Good with Children Good with Dogs

Bambi came to us from family who was no longer able to care for her. This cute pup came all the way from Turkey as a puppy. She and her siblings had been poisoned and some nice people got them over here to find new forever homes. Now the family is unable to care for her with some life changes they have encountered. Bambi is shy when first meeting new people, especially men. Once she warms up, she is very affectionate and loving. We have noticed that she may be a digger when out in the yards but if you call to her she comes over to you. If you think Bambi would be a good fit for your family, then head to our website and fill out an adoption questionnaire today!

Adopt Blanco Today

American Staffordshire Terrier

Spayed/Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped

Adult Male Good with Children Good with Dogs

Blanco came to us from a local family who was unable to care for him any longer. With a death in the immediate family and relocating out of the country, they made the very hard decision to help Blanco find a new forever home. At a little over 2 and a half years old, he loves to play, go on walks and loves to snuggle up on the couch and watch a movie! Blanco also knows to ring a bell on the door to go outside and knows he has to sit and wait to put his leash on before going out on a walk. About a year ago he has ACL surgery on his left hind leg and needed to amputate part of his tail because he had happy tail. He is all healed up and still has such a happy go lucky personality! He is so smart and happy, and would LOVE to meet you! If you think Blanco would be a good fit for your home, go to www.fatherjohns.org/adopt and reply to the automated email to set an appointment!

Adopt Atlas Today

Pit Bull Terrier

Spayed/Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped

Senior Male Good with Dogs

Atlas came to us from a local family who was no longer able to keep him. They had a baby and he was just too much energy flying around the house. We think Atlas is about 11 years old and was rescued from crowded shelter about 6 years ago. Despite his age, Atlas is VERY strong and likes to pull on the leash and would do best on a harness. He loves to play and can sometimes play really rough. We like to call him our "forever puppy" because even though he is a senior, he still loves to play! He loves other dogs but would do best in a home without any other animals. And he is good with kids, too! Atlas would love to find a home with a fenced in yard so he can run and play! If you think Atlas would be a good fit for your home, go to www.fatherjohns.org/adopt and reply to the automated email to set an appointment!

Adopt Elliot Today

Treeing Walker Coonhound - Irish Setter

Spayed/Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped

Baby Male Good with Children Good with Dogs

Elliot came to us from Virginia to find his forever home! He made his way up here with his brothers. They were fostered by a lovely older woman who was there when they were born but knew that they needed a family that could give them more time and energy than she could give them. Elliot is about 12 weeks old and we believe he will get to be about 60 pounds when full grown. Since he is still a young puppy, he will need a lot of training to become the best pup he can be. If you think Elliot would be a good fit for your family, then head to our website and fill out an adoption questionnaire today! *Elliot is not yet neutered and his adoption fee includes his neuter.

Adopt Max Today

Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler

Spayed/Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped

Adult Male Good with Dogs Good with Cats

Max came to us from local family who was no longer able to care for him. This cute little boy is about 2 years old and LOVES to go on runs! His previous owner would take him for a run every morning. Max also lived with dogs and cats for a little while. Since he is a herding breed, we would suggest a home without young children since this breed typically will try and herd young kids running around by nipping at their ankles. Max will need a lot of exercise in his new home and hopefully his new family loves to go on adventures. If you think Max would be a good fit for your family, then head to our website and fill out an adoption questionnaire today!

Adopt Lilly Today

Domestic Long Hair

Spayed/Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped

Adult Female Good with Cats

This beautiful girl is named Lilly, and she is looking for her forever home since her previous family moved out of the country and couldn't take her with them. Lilly is about 6 1/2 years old, and misses her home! She is a sweet cat, but a little shy, and is nervous being here at the shelter. In her previous home she was quiet, but affectionate, and didn't mind being picked up! We know that once she gets into a home again she will relax and be just like her old self. We are already seeing that here, as each day she becomes more friendly and outgoing than the day before, and can't wait to make new friends! We think Lilly would do best in a home without dogs, as she didn't seem to be a big fan of the dog in the home. A home with older kids who know when to give her space would also be best - double digits and up, because she will require a little patience when she first comes home with you. But after that point, she will give you so much love! She also doesn't mind other cats, and enjoys her feline friends in her free roam room as long as they give her space, although a home where she would be the only pet would be the best fit for her. Meet Lilly and bring her home with you, back to the quiet life she is used to and deserves!

Even though he is about a year and a half old, he is still young and still needs some training. Baxter seems to be housebroken and walks pretty well on the leash, but does pull sometimes.

Adopt Grayson Today

Domestic Short Hair

Spayed/Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped

Senior Male Good with Children Good with Cats

Our handsome guy Grayson is looking for nothing more than a loving affectionate home, like what he was used to before his owner passed away. He misses her dearly, and just wants to be loved again! Nearly 9 years old, Grayson came to us quite overweight - almost 25 pounds! We are pleased to say he is down to about 22 pounds, but he still has a ways to go. Unfortunately, a good deal of that weight loss is because he is too scared here to eat much. He is shy, and is used to a calm home - not the hustle and bustle of a shelter. Despite his shyness, he is incredibly sweet and affectionate! He loves to be pet and will lean against your hand. He really does love attention and we know he is going to open up in a home and be a lap cat! Grayson is used to a calm home with seniors, but he did well with kids when they visited. He also previously lived with other cats, although we think dogs may be a little overwhelming for him. In the end, he just needs someone to love him like his previous owners did! You will definitely fall in love when you meet Grayson, so just fill out a questionnaire at www.fatherjohns.org/adopt and reply to the automated email to set an appointment!

Adopt Ana Today

Rottweiler

Spayed/Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped

Adult Female

Ana is a humble beauty, with the most unique and stunning markings. You have never seen a Rottweiler quite like her, so one of a kind and gorgeous! Ana is about 5 and a half years old and she is just the sweetest thing there could be! Her bashful nature may get in the way of her meeting new people, but that doesn't bother those who are patient and willing to wait for her to come around. It really doesn't take long and suddenly she is jumping up to give you kisses and wanting to play with you! Ana also loves to meet new dogs, though she may need some time to get to know smaller dogs. She would also do best in a home without cats, as her rescue down in Mississippi says that she does have a prey drive - she is quite the squirrel hunter! Ana is a quick learner, especially if you have treats! We recommend continued training for this angel, she is still learning how to walk well on the leash and basic obedience. Are you prepared to devote your time, energy, and love for this sweet little puppy?

Adult Male Good with Children Good with Dogs Good with Cats

Milo (grey tabby and white) and Rocky (grey and white) are two 5 1/2 year old brothers that must be adopted together! They have a such a bond, and we know it won't be hard because they are so loving! These two are the kind of cats where it's hard to get good pictures of them, because they are so affectionate and just want to rub against you and get pet! They are constantly seeking attention and will follow you wherever you go! Plus they will "talk" to you to remind you - hey, we're here, and we want some love! In their previous home, Milo and Rocky lived with dogs, and they get along fine with the cats here, too! They previously lived with elderly people and did spend a little time with kids in their foster home, so we feel like they would do great in any home they went to! To meet these brothers, just go to www.fatherjohns.org/adopt and reply to the automated email to set an appointment! We know you'll fall right in love!

Adopt Sheila Today

Shepherd - Presa Canario

Spayed/Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped

Adult Female

Sheila was originally born here at the shelter 2 years ago. She had been adopted and it ended up not being a good fit. Now she is a little over 2 and about 75 pounds! Sheila can be a little shy meeting new people but once you give her some time (and some cookies), she will love you! Once she is in a home, she will become your shadow. With her breed mix, she would do best in a home without other animals, no children and a pretty quiet home. She is definitely a good guard dog and can be protective of her person/people. Sheila also is very vocal about her boundaries and like her space to be respected. She will be a dog that will need a couple of introductions before going home to make sure it is the right fit for everyone.

She was recently returned to us when she wasn't getting along with the other cat in the home, so we hope the find her a better fit this time around. Around 4 years old, Speck still has a kitten personality! She loves to play and likes to jump up high, on top of cat trees and kitchen cabinets! But she is also a cuddler, so she just has an all around great personality! In her previous home, she lived in a small apartment, so it could be that she wasn't getting along with the other cat for lack of space. Her ideal home would be one without another cat, but it's possible she could go home with another kitty if the personalities fit. If you're looking to just have one cat in your home, Speck is your girl! Speck would also likely do well with kids! She may just be the perfect cat to fill that empty spot in your home when your kids ask about getting a pet.
