Meet little Patty Cake, so named because she frequently stands on hind legs and “begs” with her front paws, as if she were playing “Patty Cake.” This happy little girl is 5 years old, a retired breeder. Patty is crate trained and doing well on house breaking but will need continued positive training. Because of her size and past life of breeding, we recommend a household with no young children (under age 10). She is not yet comfortable walking on a leash, so a fenced yard is needed. Patty Cake doesn’t understand yet how to play with toys, so a well-adjusted dog in the home would be helpful to her development. She is good with other dogs. Patty Cake is fully vetted, including a fresh dental cleaning. Her adoption fee is $400. For additional details, or to assess whether your home may be a good match for Patty, call or text Mary at (574) 524-6040.

Senior Poodle/Yorkie mixes

Pearl (black, female) and CoCo (cream, male) are 11-year-old senior dogs that are looking for their forever homes. We want them to be adopted together as they have always been together. These two are very nice, friendly dogs. CoCo is a lap dog. Their coats and build favor the Poodle breed; they will need regular grooming. Pearl and CoCo are crate trained and housebroken. Pearl has been spayed; CoCo has been neutered. Both have had dental cleaning, heart worm test, blood work, and vaccinations. These lovely dogs were surrendered when their owners lost their home and had to give them up. Adoption fee is $300 for the pair. For inquiries or questions about these dogs, call or text Mary at (574) 524-6040. They are located in Elkhart, Indiana.

Meet Sophie, a 5-1/2 year old Schnauzer Poodle mix with unusual coloring for the breed; she is white with tan ears and a few tan spots. She is described by her foster mom as “easy to care for” but very active, so Sophie’s forever home should have a fenced yard and someone to play with—maybe kids older than 8 or even another playful canine friend. She loves to play with other dogs, does well on a long leash. She is crate trained, house trained and knows basic commands. Because of her breed mix, she will need to be groomed regularly. Sophie is spayed and up to date on vaccinations. For more details about Sophie, contact her foster mom Sharon at (574) 220-6485. Her adoption fee will be between $400-450.

Miss Opal is a 5 year-old tricolor full-size Bernese Mountain Dog and a former breeder. She loves affection when you’ve earned her trust. Opal is good with other dogs, cats and rabbits, and is pretty social for a former breeder. Good with respectful children.
A PHYSICAL (not electric) fenced yard is required as she needs room to safely run. She is learning “Wait,” “Come,” and “Go to kennel;” crate trained and house trained (though some accidents may occur when moving to a new home).
Preference given to applicants within 75 miles of Elkhart, Indiana.
Opal is up to date on shots. She will be a great family companion. Opal will need a fair amount of time to address her anxiety and continue her training in her forever home. Adoption fee: $400. For more information on Opal, contact her foster mom Linda via Call or Text (574) 215-0760.
