Sploot alert! 🚨 When Bronx gets tired on his walks, he doesn’t just rest—he goes full sploot mode right on the ground. 😆

At 10 years young, this delightfully chonky pittie mix is ready to enjoy his golden years. He loves Tails on Trails outings with our volunteers, cuddle sessions, and showing off his “treat-taking manners.” 🐾

Bronx is about the size of a small ottoman but way more lovable, and he’s perfected the art of flopping. Once he flops into your lap, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without him. ❤️

While he adores people, Bronx wants to be your one and only pet. We also recommend a home with kids 15+ for this senior guy.

If you’re searching for a mellow bestie who specializes in snorts, strolls, and snuggles, Bronx is your guy. 🐶✨

Come meet him at our shelter today!

Yido made his TV debut 21Alive with Julian Teekaram and is now available for adoption!!! 🥰

Rescued from the Dog Meat Trade, Yido & Rex are ready for a new start! ✨

If you’ve been following along, you know Yido and Rex’s story is nothing short of incredible. Last week, we welcomed them to our shelter after they were rescued from the dog meat trade in South Korea.

In fact, Yido was one of only 7 dogs who survived after nearly 700 dogs perished at the dog meat farm in a forest fire.

Thanks to Humane World for Animals, a global animal welfare nonprofit that took on the enormous task of rescuing, caring for, and transporting these dogs, they are now safe and ready to find new homes here in Indiana! ☺️

🐾 Meet Yido!
This 2-year-old Tosa mix (Japanese Mastiff) is as sweet as he is big—110 lbs of gentle love! He’s blossoming more each day, loves treats, and walks well on a leash! His lion-like paws, wrinkles, and tender disposition are sure to make you swoon.

🐾 Meet Rex!
Just 9 months old, this Jindo boy was rescued from another meat farm. At first he was terrified walking into our shelter, but he’s quickly discovered the joy of tennis balls, squeaky toys, and outdoor playtime.

💡 A note for adopters:
Both Yido and Rex will need homes that can offer a little extra patience as they learn how to be “dogs.” They aren’t yet potty trained and will need time and positive reinforcement as they figure out the comforts of home life.

We don’t know every detail of their past, but their resilience, tenderness, and capacity for love inspire us daily. Now, they’re ready for the chapter they deserve —filled with the joys of just being a dog. 🐶❤️

Want to be part of their happy ending? Apply to adopt at humanefw.org!
