Bonded to Botticelli DLH, Orange and White Male, 8 months old "Fear me, if you dare! I am the best at what I do, but what I do best isn't very nice. I have proved myself a mighty boy, no, man many times by biting at the hands of puny humans who dare to try manhandle me. I was perfectly content until the humans came along. But ohhh, I guess you all aren't SO bad. Just the other day, I even enjoyed a glove-free petting from my handler. Just don't tell the other cats, okay? Gotta keep my tough guy rep... but my buddy Botticelli has seen my new ways and he even might be coming around too. I'm like his emotional support cat. I'm the brave one, and I show him things aren't so bad afterall." "Oh, but let's face it. I'm just a big pussycat. I am just a kitten still after all. You can see I've warmed up to the people here and do love on humans that win me over. I'm not really as feral as I played it up to be; I'm more of a tough guy with strangers, if anything. So if you're looking for a guard cat or bodyguard that will love you forever as long as you have yummy treats and know how to scratch behind my ears, well, I'm your man-cat." Can't adopt Marcel but want to help? He's actually got a GoFundMe if you want to give toward it. He's one of the many semi-feral cats we've rescued lately thanks to the joined efforts of the community here in Hancock County. https://charity.gofundme.com/…/it-takes-a-village-help-spca… If you would like to know more about Marcel, feel free to give us a call at 667-8088 from 11-5pm, or email us. Please note: During our adoption process, we will do a vet check on your current or previous pets from the last 10 years to make sure they have been up to date with rabies shots (required by law for cats and dogs) and vaccines. We will also check with your landlord if you rent! show less

Staffordshire terrier/lab mix, brindle coat Male, 7 years old. Medium weight (about 60 pounds) "Hi there! Some of you might recognize me from a few years ago. I went home for a while but acted out against a child, so my family decided I would be happier if I had another chance at a forever home. I’m a 7-year-old Staffie/Lab mix named Guinness, and I am looking for a family of my very own. I am a very affectionate boy who loves to play. I like to talk and will use my voice to say lots of different things. Guess you could say I’m pretty vocal. I am currently working on my manners and am making great progress. I am already house trained and know several commands. Some of my favorite things are playing with other dogs, going for walks, and giving affection to my humans. I have lived with children over the age of 12 and did very well with them. But I get picky and have nipped at the face of a child (no blood was drawn, so it's okay, right?) when they were annoying me, so I'm not really suitable for houses with young kids. I prefer to be handled gently and have been known to react if treated forcefully. I am looking forward to finding a new family who will show me kindness and love. If a loving, playful and handsome boy sounds like the furry family member you are looking for, I just may be the one for you. Can’t wait to meet you! Also according to some staff members who may or may not be named Katie, I don't like Katie's. It's nothing personal. It's just personal." Can't adopt Guinness but want to help him out? You can make a donation to help support the cost of his care today. We even offer affordable packages to sponsor a kennel. Visit our website spcahancockcounty.org/donate to learn more! show less

Basquiat DSH, Brown Tabby Medium, Adult Special notes: Basquiat is one of the cats we have recently taken in from a semi-feral colony. He is sweeter than some of the other semi-ferals, but he is still a bit shy and would do best with a patient home that would give him time to socialize and adapt. He may also enjoy being allowed outdoors. He can coexist with other cats and at least some dogs. He may find children overwhelming. "I may swat and hiss at first but the truth is, I just want love! I just don't always know how to accept it. But with enough patience, time, and gentle handling (with lots of treat reinforcement!), I have hope of being a good indoor kitty one day. I'm scared of new things and may start off well as an indoor/outdoor cat, and I may even be a great barn kitty for you by hunting around the premises. But I have a lot of love in me too that I would like to share, if I could find someone willing to help show me how to let it out." Can't adopt Basquiat but want to help? He has a GoFundMe! He is one of the semi-feral cats we've rescued lately thanks to the help of the community here in Hancock County. https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/it-takes-a-village-help-spca-neuter-13-cats If you would like more information please contact us at 667-8088 from 11-5pm, or visit us online at spcahancockcounty.org or Facebook!

Australian shepherd/border collie mix, Red tri-color Male, 1 year old 60 lbs Not good with cats or small animals! Dogs depend on meet and greets; he needs to be carefully introduced "Hey there! Looking for a fun, energetic dog to keep you company, maybe drag you on some runs? Look no further! I'm not only fun, I am beautiful too! I would make a great model for your Instagram or TikTok videos. But in all seriousness, hi there, I'm Rocco. I was named Rocky when I transferred over here from The Ark, but there was already a dog named Rocky here, so the SPCA called me Rocco. Humph! I thought I had first dibs on the name too. Oh well. "Transfer, you hear? Why, yes. The Ark is better equipped for smaller animals, and I'm just big enough to make things uncomfortable for them. When I came here, I had a history of being aggressive toward the other dogs at The Ark, but since then, I've showed promsie that with the right introductions, I might be able to go to a home with other dogs. I seem to have a pretty strong prey drive, so I'm not suited for small animals at all. They tried seeing if I was good with cats, but just seeing a kitty-cat made me want to go full hunt mode! So they said I failed and no cats for me. "Still, I'm a young dog with a big, long life ahead of me, and with the right human by my side to guide me, I can make an amazing companion and adventurer. So what do you say, want to be partners?" Can't adopt Rocco but want to support him? You can make a donation toward the cost of his care. Every bit helps us continue to keep our doors open to save animals like Rocco. You can even sponsor a kennel. To find out how, check out our website, spcahancockcounty.org/donate. show less

Up for pre-adoption, as he will be neutered on 5/20/2020 "I am a good boy, but I really don't like it here at the shelter! It's too noisy and there's too much going on! I just want a nice and quiet home to settle in. I'm a gentle soul, so isn't there someone out there who could let me take it easy, maybe let me hide for a little, instead of having to stay in this place?"

Odin DSH, Black Male, 8 years old Special qualities: bonded to brother Oliver, must be adopted together! “Oh gosh, things sure have been scary lately. Just so many changes for us, but at least we have each other. We’re still pretty shaken up from coming to the shelter so our true personalities will take time to come out, but despite how moving around and ending up in a shelter is usually very scary, we’re nice boys. We like nice, gentle people who let us sniff their hands and then reach in and pet us. We might get more rowdy when we’re comfortable, but that will be saved for an update, we suppose! "But with time, patience, and really nice humans, we've come out of our shells at the shelter. Odin isn't so much of a nakey old man now that he isn't pulling out all his fur, and Oliver isn't always terrified of everyone and everything! We're still plenty young and spry, even though we technically are senior cats. Just watch Odin play with toys and see what we mean! Plus we like other cats. We just would love a nice, quiet home that is patient with letting us take our time and adjust, and then we can just relax and learn to be old man-cats. We have a lot of time to do that, we just need someone special to do it with." Can't adopt Odin and Oliver but want to support them? You can always make a donation toward their care!

4 years old Medium, 60-65 pounds Brindle pittie/Shar Pei mix *NOT AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION YET. However, you can still apply or ask questions about him. :)* "I tested positive for Lyme's recently, so my dog handlers are curious how much of my real personality will come out when I'm feeling better. Right now, I may not be acting quite like my normal self. I seem a little bit cautious about meeting people, but I'm still friendly and sweet. I've been a good boy on my leash and about taking baths, which I need because boy do I itch! Hopefully, when I feel better, I'll have lots more to tell you!" Una will be neutered and up-to-date on his vaccines by the time he's ready for adoption! According to his foster family, Una has been a regular old couch potato! While he may have been surrendered because he bit a child (without drawing any blood and the incident was not witnessed so we don't know how provoked it was), he's clearly a good-natured boy. If you have children and are considering to adopt Una, we recommend him to households with kids 8 years old and up, just to avoid a repeat of the bite incident that brought him here, however it may have happened. Una does show some aggression toward other male dogs, which is unfortunately normal when a dog remains intact. He may shed this aggression once he is neutered but because he is grown, he may be reluctant to accept male dogs. Because of this, we recommend him to households with female dogs or without dogs. He has itchy skin and requires medicated baths every week at this point to get relief. He seems to be fine with cats. He generally does not show a high prey-drive, as his fosters report he was content to sit on a couch while a squirrel ran by the window. Can't adopt Una but want to help him out? Try sponsoring him on Petfinder! Please click the sponsor link above and follow the instructions. If you want to do even more, you can consider sponsoring a kennel for a year. These options and more are available at our website, spcahancockcounty.org/donate If you would like to know more about Una, please feel free to get in touch with us through Petfinder or by calling us at 667-8088 from 11 am to 5 pm.
