<<UPDATE 5/27/08 :: I’ve been adopted into a loving home whose kitty has accepted me!>>
My name’s Amy, and I’m looking for a forever home.
I’m six years old, and because they were moving, my previous family surrendered me to Indianapolis Animal Care and Control in February. IACC doesn’t adopt out pit bulls like me, no matter how sweet we are, so it would have been certain death for me had a foster group not come along save me. Every kennel card from the various places I’ve stayed before becoming a foster dog all say the same thing: “This is a VERY sweet dog.”
If I do say so myself, I’m a laid back girl and would make a great pet! My friend Edgar the cat plays with my tail, and I couldn’t care less. I’ve met numerous dogs and loved them all. Even an old grouchy dog in my extended family who doesn’t like anyone said I’m A-okay.
If you’re looking for a running companion or a hiking partner, I’m probably not your best bet. But if you’re looking for a fellow couch potato to keep you company, I’ll be your perfect match. I do like going for a walk around the block, but prefer sidewalks to the woods. Like a lot of my friends, I also love to ride in the car, unless you insist I ride in a crate: that makes me howl! It doesn’t make me love my foster family any less, though!
These two good-looking dogs were found together wandering the Northside of Indianapolis recently. The German Shepherd (Sophie) and the pit mix (Buster) had no tags and no collars. Check out the camera-phone video above, shot by their foster “mom” who tells their story:
“Sophie, a female german shepherd, and Buster, a male pit bull mix, were found without tags or collars wandering near the NUVO offices at 4oth and Meridian St. in Indianapolis; when the owner was tracked down by their microchips, he said he’d let them out hoping they didn’t come back. They are both approx. 2 years old; have been spayed and neutered; and were given a clean bill of health by the vet this week. They are very loving, playful, and loyal dogs (both are under the impression that they are lap dogs! and they are bed hogs when given the opportunity to sleep indoors!!!) They are aggressive towards other dogs and cats, however, and should not be adopted into a home with other pets. Ideally, we hope they can stay together, as they are very attached to one another. If you would like more information contact Laura at (317)254-2400 x 5231.”
Check out their pictures, and please contact us or Laura if you’re interested in adopting these two lovable pals.
