***UPDATE! DIONYSUS HAS BEEN ADOPTED!!!***

🐺 Help Dionysus Find a Home – A Senior Soul Waiting 125 Days and Counting🖤

Dionysus is a 10-year-old mix with the quiet, wild beauty of a creature carved from myth—like he wandered straight from an ancient forest with eyes that have seen too much. Once, there may have been joy in those eyes. Now, there’s only waiting.

He has been in the shelter for too long. Too many nights behind bars. Too many mornings with no one coming for him. He’s not barking for attention anymore. He just... waits. Quietly.

He’s breaking in a way that’s hard to watch. The light inside him dims as the kennel walls close in. He doesn’t know if love is coming.

And yet, he still hopes. Still presses his face to the front of his kennel when someone walks by. Still believes, in some small, aching way, that someone might see him.

He doesn’t ask for much. A warm place to rest his old bones. A quiet home. Someone gentle. Someone kind. Someone to remind him that he matters.

He’s not just a senior dog. He’s a soul unraveling in silence.

Please consider showing this old man that there is a loving home out there for him. And if you can’t adopt, sharing his story might be the one act that changes everything.

📍Dionysus is waiting at Humane Indiana | 421 45th Street, Munster IN
📞 To meet him, contact [email protected]
🖤 He’s been waiting so long. Don’t let him wait alone.

Back together again! 💕🥰 Sophie is here! We rescued Sophie and daughter (Daisy), who were surrendered together to a shelter in Tennessee. Daisy came up first and now her mom has joined us. She is as sweet as her daughter. They are both available for adoption. Visit www.pawsonthegreen.org for applications and their links. Sophie is only 2 years old - Daisy is about 6 1/2 months.

Kebbler!

ADOPTED!!!!

💕May can't understand why she hasn't found her forever family yet. She is the sweetest medium-sized foxy gal. She does so well in her crate - goes potty outside, is well-behaved and is just the best little dog you could ask for! She keeps you company while you work and just wants to be near you. Her forever family is out there - we just have to help them find each other! Please share May!💕
