One of our beloved longterm clients is needing to rehome their dog, Shuggie, the 8 year old Catahoula Leopard/Blue Heeler. Please continue reading and share this post if you would like to help them find a home for him. You can email us at [email protected] if you have more questions or are interested in meeting him. We can connect you with his owner.
Shuggie is beloved by his parents however is needing to be rehomed due to his owners needing to move across the world to provide long term care to their parents whose health is unfortunately deteriorating. Shuggie is unable to go with as it would be very stressful for him and not an ideal environment for him.
Shuggie is a sweet, goofy, energetic dog that has lived with another dog his whole life. He would do well as the only dog but could also do well living with the right dog. If you have other pets, he should do an introduction. No families with young children. While Shuggie is incredibly loving, he takes time to warm up to new people and requires a patient approach to building trust. He's made tremendous progress through extensive training and responds well to positive reinforcement and structured introductions. Some people he warms up to almost immediately while others sometimes take multiple meetings to establish that. He has a bite history that has occurred when startled by a stranger in close proximity and when they have come into his space without following initial intro protocols. More details can be provided.

Shuggie has zero issues with us or new staff when he comes to board since his initial training a few years ago. We just take a few minutes to do an introduction with new staff and he has been good to go. He remembers his friends here even if he hasn’t seen us in months.

Shuggie is neutered, vaccinated, has good obedience, muzzle conditioned, e collar conditioned, and a big heart. He will come with his training tools, food, and we will throw in unlimited private lessons to his adopter to help set him on the right foot and in case they ever need help in the future with anything.

Located in Indianapolis, Indiana but will be staying with us in Bloomington again soon.

🇺🇸🐾 Labor Day Fun at Mannered Mutts! 🐾🇺🇸

Labor Day weekend is one of our busiest times of the year, and we’ve got something extra special planned for our boarding and board & train guests!

From Friday, August 29th through Tuesday, September 2nd, every boarding and board & train pup will get to create their very own Labor Day paw print keepsake to take home — the perfect reminder of their holiday adventure!

Every dog enjoys a safe, structured, and loving environment with enrichment, consistent routines, and activities that keep both their mind and body engaged. Holiday weekends are also a great time for pups to practice their skills in a fun, real-world setting while still being part of the celebrations.

✨ Spots are limited for this festive weekend so don’t wait to book your pup’s stay!

We can’t wait to celebrate with your dogs this Labor Day! ❤️🐶

Windows down, ears flapping, tails wagging!🚘

Our training dogs headed out for a field trip —because learning doesn’t just happen in the classroom! 🐾

Getting out and about helps these pups practice real-life skills in new environments, build confidence, and have a whole lot of fun while doing it. Whether it’s walking politely downtown, ignoring distractions, or just riding calmly in the car, every little moment adds up to big growth🌱

We love giving our dogs these chances to stretch their legs, their minds, and their snouts 🚗🐶
