🐾🤎 MEET REGGIE — A BIG BOY WITH A BIG HEART AND THE BEST BEARD IN TOWN! 🤎🐾

Looking for a large, silly best friend with movie-star hair, a scruffy beard, and a serious appreciation for a good game of fetch? Well, friends, allow us to introduce you to Reggie! 😍

This handsome Labrador Retriever/Standard Poodle mix is winning over our volunteers right and left, and honestly, we’re not surprised. With his gorgeous chocolate-colored coat, perfectly scruffy beard, and lovable personality, Reggie has a way of making people fall for him in a hurry!

Reggie’s favorite place to show off his personality is the play yard. Away from the noise and commotion of the shelter, this sweet guy really comes alive! Give him a ball, some room to play, and a human friend to hang out with, and you’ve got yourself one happy pup. 🎾

✨ Here’s what we know about Reggie:

🐶 Handsome Labrador Retriever/Standard Poodle mix with a gorgeous chocolatey coat
🐶 Large, lovable, and sporting the most adorable scruffy beard
🐶 Loves attention and wants to be right alongside his favorite people
🐶 Can be nervous in the loud shelter environment but really flourishes outside
🐶 Loves playing ball in the play yard
🐶 A HUGE fan of treats! He can get a little grabby, so he’ll benefit from practicing his snack-taking manners
🐶 Already knows how to sit and is working on his leash-walking skills
🐶 Previously lived in a home with another dog and older children
🐶 Reportedly house trained and crate trained by his previous owner
🐶 Curious about cats when introduced

❤️ A little about finding Reggie’s perfect match:

Reggie can be reactive when meeting other dogs through a fence or other barrier, so those quick introductions aren’t the best way to get to know him. When introduced without a barrier, he seemed to do best with confident, more easygoing dog friends, and he was able to play and interact appropriately with certain dogs once he felt comfortable.

Because every dog has their own preferences, any potential canine sibling would need thoughtful, controlled introductions to help everyone succeed. Reggie’s future family should be prepared to respect his boundaries and give him time to get comfortable.

Reggie may be feeling a little overwhelmed by shelter life, but spend some time with him outside, and you’ll start to see the sweet, goofy companion our volunteers are falling in love with. He’s looking for someone who appreciates a big dog with a big personality, enjoys getting outside for playtime, and wants a loyal buddy to share life’s adventures.

And let’s be honest… who wouldn’t want a handsome, scruffy chocolate boy waiting at home to greet them every day? 🥹🤎

🏡 Could Reggie be your new best friend?

If you’ve got room in your heart and home for this lovable goofball, come meet him and see what our volunteers already know: there’s a whole lot to love about Reggie!

🐾😹 MEET FLETCHER — PROFESSIONAL TROUBLEMAKER, TOY TESTER & CAT BESTIE! 😹🐾

Looking for a kitten who will keep you laughing, turn your house into his personal playground, and make sure no toy goes unexplored? Meet Fletcher! This adorable 4-month-old boy is ready to move right into your home and begin his next big adventure. ❤️

Now, we'll be honest. If you're looking for a kitten who wants to spend all day curled up in your arms, Fletcher might not be your guy… at least not yet! 😂 This little dude has places to go, things to climb, and toys to thoroughly investigate. And by investigate, we mean use every single part of that toy until he's absolutely certain he's gotten his money's worth!

Counters? Interesting! Shelves? Intriguing! Places he's probably not supposed to be? Fletcher considers those personal challenges. 🤣

But underneath all that silly kitten energy is a sweet boy who just needs a little time, patience, and consistency to feel comfortable in his new surroundings.

✨ Here's what makes Fletcher special:
🐱 Adorable 4-month-old kitten ready for his forever home
🐱 A certified silly goose with a talent for getting into mischief
🐱 Loves climbing, exploring, and discovering new places
🐱 Believes every new toy deserves a thorough workout
🐱 Not much of a people-cuddler right now, but that's okay!
🐱 LOVES other cats and often snuggles up with his feline friends for naps
🐱 Would love a friendly kitty companion in his new home
🐱 A little shy at first and will need patience and consistency as he settles in
🐱 Wet food is the way to his heart! 🥣

Fletcher may not be the kitten who immediately climbs into your lap, but he has plenty of personality to share. He might be the one making you laugh with his antics, keeping your other cat entertained, or snoozing beside his new feline bestie after a busy day of kitten adventures.

🐾💔 ACE HAS BEEN WAITING FOR HIS FOREVER. CAN WE PLEASE MAKE THIS TIME THE ONE? 💔🐾

Two adoptions. Two chances to find a family of his own. And somehow, this sweet boy is still waiting.

We first met Ace back in April, when he and his brother were surrendered to APL because their owner could no longer care for them. We hoped a new beginning was just around the corner. After a month at the shelter, Ace was adopted alongside his brother. Sadly, some jealousy issues between the boys meant that arrangement wasn’t the right fit, and Ace found himself back with us.

Another month passed, and someone else opened their heart to Ace. We crossed our fingers, hoping this was finally the forever home he’d been waiting for.

But through unfortunate circumstances and absolutely no fault of his own, Ace is back at APL once again.

💔 How many times can a dog start over before someone finally gives him the forever he deserves?

We know Ace’s person is out there. We believe it with our whole hearts, and we are NOT giving up on him.

Because behind those beautiful eyes is a smart, loving, active boy with so much potential. He deserves more than another temporary chapter. He deserves a family who will love him, help him thrive, and make him a permanent part of their lives.

✨ Here’s what makes Ace special:

🐶 A handsome 2-year-old Border Collie/Siberian Husky mix
🐶 An absolute PRO at sitting pretty when he sees a camera come out 📸
🐶 Intelligent, quick to learn, and eager to please
🐶 Already knows how to sit and takes treats gently
🐶 A little shy when meeting new people, but warms up with time
🐶 An active guy who would love walks, hikes, playtime, and adventures with his favorite people
🐶 Previously lived in a home with children and another large dog
🐶 Friendly and playful with similar-sized dogs during introductions
🐶 Needs a home without small dogs or cats
🐶 Can be possessive of favorite things around other dogs, so thoughtful management and continued training will be important

Ace is a bright boy who has so much to offer the right family. He would love people who enjoy getting outside, keeping him mentally engaged, and helping him continue to learn. With his intelligence and willingness to listen, he could be an incredible training partner!

Ace’s experiences have taught us that finding the right home matters more than finding just any home. He needs a family that understands his needs, respects his boundaries around valued items, and is committed to helping him succeed. He doesn’t need to be perfect. He just needs someone willing to understand him and give him the chance he deserves.

❤️ Ace isn’t a lost cause. He isn’t a failure. And he isn’t a dog we’re willing to give up on.

🏡 Could you be the person who changes Ace’s story?

Please consider meeting this handsome boy and giving him the chance to show you what a wonderful companion he can be.

👉 Apply to adopt Ace at www.inapl.org.

🦸‍♂️❤️ MEET APOLLO — THIS SUPERHERO IS READY FOR HIS FOREVER HOME! ❤️🦸‍♂️

Not all superheroes wear capes… some wear Superman costumes, have giant goofy smiles, and think every day should include approximately 47 hours of playtime. 😂🐾 Meet Apollo, a 1-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix who is ready to trade his tough beginning for a lifetime of love, laughter, and adventures!

Apollo arrived at APL about a week before the devastating August flood, and his condition was heartbreaking. He was extremely emaciated and in very poor shape. Our medical team immediately went to work monitoring his vitals and doing everything they could to help this sweet boy survive and regain his strength.

Then the flood hit, and Apollo was lucky enough to find temporary refuge with one of our amazing foster families. There, he could continue healing, gain healthy weight, and finally experience some of the comforts every dog deserves. ❤️

And now? This boy is blossoming!

Apollo is a bouncy, silly, smiley guy who reminds us of a giant puppy. We can't help but wonder if he ever got to enjoy the carefree, goofy puppyhood every young dog should have. But he's making up for lost time now! He's ready to play, explore, learn, and soak up every bit of fun life has to offer.

Sadly, Apollo's time with his foster family is coming to an end, and he needs a forever family to take over his superhero training. Could that be you?

✨ Here's what we know about our caped crusader:

🦸‍♂️ A goofy, smiley gentleman who loves meeting new people
🦸‍♂️ A survivor who came to us dangerously underweight and is gaining healthy weight
🦸‍♂️ A bouncy, silly boy with puppy-like enthusiasm
🦸‍♂️ The ultimate toy enthusiast — if there's a toy, Apollo is ready for action!
🦸‍♂️ An Energizer Bunny when it comes to playtime
🦸‍♂️ Social and friendly with other dogs and would LOVE an enthusiastic canine playmate
🦸‍♂️ Has met children without issues
🦸‍♂️ A certified Smarty Pants who is eager to learn
🦸‍♂️ Still working on basic training and puppy manners
🦸‍♂️ Sometimes a little grabby when treats and snacks are involved, so he'll benefit from continued practice
🦸‍♂️ A very enthusiastic eater who would do best with a slow feeder
🦸‍♂️ Curious about cats and may be able to coexist with proper, gradual introductions

Apollo is going to need a family who understands that he's still learning how to be the best dog he can be. He'll need patience, consistency, training, and plenty of appropriate outlets for all that puppy energy. An active home with a playful dog friend could be just the ticket for this fun-loving guy!

But more than anything, Apollo needs someone who will see past his difficult beginning and recognize the amazing dog he's becoming. He's already fought so hard to get healthy. Now it's time for the next chapter — one filled with toys scattered across the living room, backyard zoomies, training treats, doggy playdates, and a family who loves him unconditionally. ❤️

🦸‍♂️ Apollo has survived the flood, overcome a heartbreaking start, and proven he's a superhero in his own right. Now he needs someone to be HIS hero.

🏡 Could you be the forever family this sweet boy deserves?

👉 Apply to adopt Apollo at www.inapl.org!

And if you can't adopt, please SHARE his story. Let's help this deserving boy find his very own Fortress of Solitude — except with lots of toys, a best friend, and a family who will never give up on him. ❤️🐾

🌙 MEET LUNA — A QUIET SOUL LOOKING FOR HER SAFE PLACE 🌙

Some cats are the life of the party. Others dream of a peaceful home, a cozy place to nap, and a person who understands that love sometimes takes a little time. Luna is definitely the second kind. 💕

This beautiful 6-year-old dilute gray tabby had a difficult time adjusting to shelter life. The busy, unfamiliar surroundings left her feeling scared and unsure, but even through her nervousness, Luna would welcome gentle pets when someone took the time to approach her slowly.

We can't help but wonder what this lovely lady will be like once she finally feels safe. We suspect there's a very loving companion hiding beneath all that worry, just waiting for someone to show her that she's home. ❤️

✨ Here's what we know about Luna:
🐾 Beautiful 6-year-old dilute gray tabby
🐾 A gentle, quiet girl who needs time to feel comfortable
🐾 Welcomes slow, gentle pets from kind humans
🐾 Previously lived with other cats and did well with them
🐾 Would be happiest in a calm, peaceful home
🐾 Would prefer a home without the busy energy of young children
🐾 Looking for a patient person who will let her blossom at her own pace

Luna doesn't need a big, busy household or endless excitement. She needs a soft place to land, a quiet corner to call her own, and someone who will understand that trust is built one gentle moment at a time.

Imagine the day she finally stretches out on a comfy couch, curls up beside her person, and realizes she doesn't have to be scared anymore. Imagine watching her grow more confident, knowing that your patience helped her discover just how wonderful life can be. That could be Luna's future with you. 😺

🏡 Can you be Luna's safe place?

This sweet girl is patiently waiting to meet you at Pet Supplies Plus in Noblesville! Please stop by and give her a chance. She may be a little shy at first, but she deserves someone willing to see the loving companion she could become.

👉 Learn more and apply to adopt at www.inapl.org.

If you can't adopt, please share Luna's story. Her quiet kind of love is worth waiting for. 🌙🐾
