Description Critter
Critter's Compatibility:
Dogs – Let's do a meet and greet!
Cats – Not a good fit
Kids – Older teens (around 16 years of age) and up

Critter might only be 2 years old, but he's already showing what a smart and motivated dog he is! He recently graduated from a two-week Stay & Study program at PetSuites, where he learned all his basic cues like sit, down, place, leave it, and more. He also practiced polite leash walking with his Easy Walk harness, which will go home with him when he's adopted!

This 50-pound guy is playful, curious, and full of personality. Once he's had a chance to settle in, he loves to show off his goofy side and get the zoomies. Critter enjoys spending time with people who understand his needs and can give him clear guidance, and he thrives with a confident, patient adopter who can help him keep building on the progress he's made.

Critter would do best in a home with kids 16 and up so everyone can follow his cues and help him practice his manners. If you have a dog at home, bring them along for a meet and greet. Our team will help with introductions to make sure everyone feels comfortable.

He's a smart, affectionate dog who's ready for his next chapter. After all his hard work, we think he's more than earned it!

Important Notice: A “meet and greet” with any existing dogs in your home is required, supervised by our team in our play areas. We encourage bringing your family and current dogs, especially if traveling from afar. Cats are not required for a meet and greet.

Adoption Hours: Daily 12-5PM, closed Wednesdays. No appointment needed, unless the dog or cat is in foster! Apply and then call us at 317-773-4974 to set up a meet and greet with an pet in foster care.

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?

You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
