*Adopted* Hello my name is George; I am 3 year old chocolate altered male. I was well taken care of by my owners but due to their health issues and my energy level they were no longer able to care for me. I am up to date on all of my shots until April and am on front line and heartworm preventative. I have lots of energy and love it when someone throws my football for me. I will bring it back time and time again as long as you will throw it. I am used to living with other dogs and cats, but could care less about them. I just want to be with my people! I am house-trained, and will let you know when I need to go out. I am secure enough to not to mark in the house but the yard is fair game. I don’t like to be left alone outside; I’ll just stand at the door and look in. I will go out with you and do my business and play, but when you go in, I want to go too! I am not a fan of going into the crate, but I do fine once I am in there though. After you get to know me you will find I don't even need to be put in that silly crate. I know how to sit, and could learn more very easily. I would like to be an only child but would be ok with a sibling. I am just a super sweet boy who wants your love and attention. I am being fostered in Greenfield, IN.

*Adopted* Rosie is an extremely sweet beautiful 5 year old black lab. She is very affectionate and wants to be around people all of the time. Rosie gets along fabulously with other dogs and would be best in a home with another dog as she likes to have a buddy. She ignores cats and appears to be fine with children. Rosie needs a home with lots of TLC as she is a bit skittish which will be overcome in a loving home with lots of attention. She is curious, listens well and her foster family is working on her house manners. She is crate trained but needs lots of encouragement to get in there! Obedience training would be a plus so she could learn to walk well on a leash even though she does not pull. Sweet Rosie was a Mom at one time and may have been kept in a kennel environment, but now is SO happy to be in her foster home and is looking forward to being in her forever home with a loving family. Rosie is fostered in the Southwest Suburbs of Chicago.

*Adopted* Willow is a beautiful 3 year old female black lab. She was rescued from a shelter by a wonderful good Samaritan who took her to the vet and had her spayed and shots updated. At some point in her past Willow has gone through a basic training course. She definitely remembers sit, down and kennel and the correct way to walk on a leash is coming back to her really fast. Her rescuer says Willow loves to play basketball with her children-she keeps stealing the ball. Willow loves to play with other dogs, gets along great with people, is very nice inside and outside-definitely housetrained. Cats are fun furry critters to play with so she would be best in a cat-less home. Willow is fostered in Brazil, In., a little over an hour west of Indy.

*Adopted* Hi! My name is Moses and I am a loving 12 yr old chocolate lab. I recently came back to CILRA when my owner could no longer keep me. I sure hope there is another wonderful adopter to take me in and let me have a permanent home for the rest of my life. I am good with children and other dogs and would like to go for easy going walks with you. I know sit, stay and love to lay at your feet. During the day I like to lay with my doggie foster sister and warm in the rays of the sun. Come and see me. My foster home is on the northwest side of Indianapolis.

*Adopted* Shadow is a very gentle 60 lb black male about 4-5 yrs old. He is doing very well in his foster home and gets along easily with the other dog in his home. Shadow is also living with a cat and does very well. Shadoiw has good house manners and does not need to be crated. He has the run of the house when his foster mom is gone.

*Adopted* Cinder is a very sweet 17 month old black female who came from a kennel situation where she was not frequently socialized. She is coming along very, very well and is comfortable with the other dogs in her foster home pack. She ignores the cats. Cinder will need some patience as she gets used to her new home but has adapted quickly in her foster home. She still hesitates when going into a new situation, but with encouragement becomes comfortable. Cinder loves to have her doggie pets and cuddles. She is housebroken but prefers to be let out fairly often to keep this up. She does not need to be crated but would adapt with training. Cinder is located in Brazil, Indiana, west of Indianapolis off of I-70.

*Adopted* Abbey is as sweet as they come. Althought she has lived most of her life in an outdoor kennel she has adapted to being an inside dog very quickly. Abby is a 7 year old 50 pound black lab who is small in size but not in heart. She knows sit, down and drop; walks great on a lead and heals nicely. Abby comes when called and loves to run around when given the chance. While she is shy and quiet, she has a lovely personality. Abbey loves a good rub down and scratch behind the ears and she is such a good cuddler. Her foster family children love her gentleness. Abbey gets along well with the other lab in her foster home. She will require a bit of patience as new situations, sounds and lights can intimidate her. She is crate trained, but doesn't require one as she is housebroken and is very responsible when left alone. Abby is happiest sleeping in the company of someone. Abbey is fostered in northwest of Indianapolis.

*Adopted* Shane is a 3-5 yr. old neutered male, chocolate lab. He weighs 70 lbs. He loves to carry a ball in his mouth both inside and outside. Shane walks well on leash, but always has to be in the lead. He has a slight limp of his right front leg and has had x-rays which show an old healed fracture with arthritis. This doesn't seem to slow him down, but he would do best on leash walks, with minimal running. When we noticed that Shane's eyes seem to be dilated, he saw a veterinary ophthalmologist and is diagnosed with Progressive Retinal Atrophy, which could affect his vision. So far, other than the dilated pupil, there seems to be no problem with his vision. Shane is crate trained, house broken and sleeps next to the bed at night. When there is no one to snuggle with, he will go in the crate for a nap. He gets along with the other 2 labs in his foster home but seems to ignore the cat. Shane has a sweet nature, an irresistible spirit, and will make a wonderful family companion. He is fostered in Noblesville, IN.

Hunter is at the right age for learning to play ball, frisbee and other fun doggy activities. He's happy and just dying to please. Due to his energy level, he would be best in a home with children 7 and up. Hunter gets along great with other dogs ,especially if they will play, and people of all ages. A no cat home would be best.. He is fostered in Brazil, In., just 1 hour west of Indy off I-70.

Jesse would love to be in a home with at least one other dog to play with and to learn from. She goes up and down the indoor and deck steps like a breeze. Jesse will also lay in your lap for a nap. She will need someone home at least part of the day to help with housebreaking and house manners. This sweet little pup is fostered northwest of Indianapolis.

*Adopted* Ben has spent the last few years of his life living in an outdoor kennel, but has learned to enjoy being a house dog again. Ben has great house manners, he doesn't get on the furniture and greets visitors with a sniff and tail wag but knows not to jump. He's also great on a leash. This handsome 9 year old is looking for a forever family with a quiet environment as he would rather lay at your feet than play ball.

*Adopted* Hooch is an adorable 5 yr old, 65 lb. black Lab, who loves everyone and lets them know it by the thumping of his tail when you enter the room. He wants to play with his foster brothers & sister, but they are not the most playful group. Hooch is a very submissive dog who would love to get pets all day long if he could. He does not pull while on lead, as a matter of fact, he stops dead in his tracks when he feels tension on the lead. He is very calm in the house and out, but he still has energy to play! He does not go on the furniture nor does he counter surf. He has trained the neighbors to come over to the fence so they can pet him. Hooch has only barked once in two weeks since coming into foster care. He met a few cats and sniffed them with curiosity, yet he wants to play with all the dogs he comes across. The children he has been with (ages 2, 7 & 12) just love him. If you would like to meet him he is being fostered in the South Suburbs of Chicago.

Hannah (adopted) is a 5 month old yellow lab who is the sibling of Ace (adopted). We have been told they are mixed with Golden Retriever but are strongly lab looking.

Ollie is a smaller boy but he sure holds his own with the other dogs in his foster family. They love him. Ollie would love to have another dog in his new family. He is learning about cats. As a young puppy he would be best with older children and he will jump up a lot. He is not yet housebroken but is learning to go when let outside frequently.

*Adopted* Lady Bug is a 17 month old female who came to us as a very shy foster pup. She had been in an outdoor kennel for most of her life; she had been trained to sit, although she had not been socialized very well . Since being at her foster house, she has made leaps and bounds with her personality. She gets along with her two foster sisters. Lady has found the joys of playing like a puppy, something she was never allowed to do. She will require an extra bit of patience though as coming back in the house intimidates her, as well as some new situations.. She will require a yard with a fence. Lady would do best with another dog to keep her company; kids would be OK if they are older as she can still be a bit jumpy. Lady is housebroken and crate trained. She has had free run of the house at night. Lady came to us as a shy and scared pup but she is turning into a super sweet Lady! Lady is fostered on the SW side of Indianapolis.

*Adopted* Hello, my name is Braxton and I am a 3 year old male yellow lab. Everyone says I have big feet, but this just fits in with my big heart that is willing to love anyone who adopts me. I may weigh 88 lbs but am as gentle as a giant and I love children of all sizes. My foster’s grandchildren climb all over me and try to ride me like a pony and I am ever so patient with them. I love to retrieve anything that you will throw for me. I am crate trained but prefer to sleep in my foster’s bedroom on the floor. I love to go for a walk or go jogging but I need more training so I don't pull on the leash. A fenced yard would be preferable. I am a happy go lucky guy looking for the right family to love me! I would rather chase cats so I cannot live in a house with them. I am fostered in the northwest suburbs of a Chicago.

*Adopted* My name is CJ and you can say that at 9 months old, I am a giant puppy. This means I have a ton of energy so someone will need to be ready to play with me and be sure I get regular exercise, often. I really like going on walks, love to play ball and don't forget rope toys, too! My foster mom thinks I am pretty smart already as I know a few commands already but will benefit from obedience class. I get along with the other dogs in my foster home but constantly want to play with them, which they don't always want to do since they are way past the "puppy" stage. My new family will need to promise they can keep up with me and in return, I promise to be their most loyal companion. I am fostered in the near west suburbs of Chicago.

*Adopted* Max is a smaller 3 year old, 58 lb. male lab, with a heart of gold. He loves children, other dogs and ignores cats, but most of all he loves people. Max lived on a farm previously and was primarily an outside dog. When his owner passed away he came to CILRA to find his new inside home. At his foster’s home he has adjusted nicely to being an inside dog and is loving every minute of it. Max does not know how to play like most dogs but may get the hang of it some day by working with toys. He knows the sit command and seems to be very trainable to do more. He has caught onto house-training very quickly. He will need to learn some house manners as he is so anxious to meet people that he tends to jump up on them initially. His foster is working on correcting this too. Max is looking for someone who he can snuggle up to and love forever. Max is fostered in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago.

*Adopted* Howdy! My name is Cowboy and I would love to have a Forever Home with people that like to hang out & snuggle, watch some TV with me or take a walk.

I am crate trained and walk well on a leash and I am getting better every day with my manners in my foster home because I am a quick learner!..
