Meet Mildred and Margaret, two adorable 6-month-old Cairn Terrier mixes looking for their very own forever homes! 💕

🖤 Mildred is our beautiful black girl! 🖤

🤎 Margaret is our sweet tan girl! 🤎

These two little ladies may be small in size, but don't let that fool you! They have BIG personalities and enough puppy energy to keep you on your toes! They are playful, goofy, rambunctious, and always ready to turn an ordinary day into an adventure.

Mildred and Margaret are looking for active homes ready for all the fun (and chaos!) that comes with raising a puppy. They'll need families who can keep them busy with playtime, exercise, training, and plenty of opportunities to burn off that endless puppy energy!

If you're looking for a tiny sidekick with a HUGE personality, one of these girls might be your perfect match! They are each looking for a home of their own where they can grow, learn, and be loved for years to come.

Looking for a more active companion to join your home? Zelda is basically a professional fetch player and is looking for her partner. 👀🥎

🐾 Female, spayed
🐾 Hound mix
🐾 3 years old
🐾 65 lbs

Meet Zelda! This adorable 3-year-old Hound mix is searching for her home. Zelda recently spent over a week with a family, and we learned that was house trained and did well settling into a home environment. Unfortunately it wasn't the right fit for Zelda and she will need a home without cats. Inside, Zelda is calm and affectionate. She loves soaking up attention and will happily lean in for pets whenever she gets the chance. Outside is where her playful personality really shines! Tennis balls are her absolute favorite, and she's a fetch superstar who proudly brings the ball right back, ready for another throw. Watching her bounce around the yard is guaranteed to make you smile! Zelda has been selective with the dogs we've introduced her to and could potentially go home with another dog as long as it's a good fit. Because she can get a little excited during playtime, we think she'd do best with slightly older children. She has all the makings of an incredible family dog... loyal, loving, playful, and ready to make someone's house feel like home. Could that someone be you?

‼️Zelda's adoption fee has been completely sponsored!‼️

If you're interested in meeting Zelda, please fill out an application on our website and give us a call at 219-476-7297 to confirm we received it!

👀🐾 POV: You're secretly watching Target and Gemma have the time of their lives!

We promise we're not spying... we're just admiring the cutest game of chase happening along the fence! 😂 These two were having so much fun running back and forth that we couldn't resist sharing a little sneak peek of their playtime.

🐶 Meet Target! Target is a 1-year-old Terrier mix who holds the title of our longest resident dog. He's been waiting for his forever family since February, and we're hoping his turn to be picked comes soon! Target does well with other dogs, but he's a very forward player who likes to jump right into the fun. His ideal canine companion would need to be tolerant of his enthusiastic play style. The best part? Target's adoption fee has been sponsored!

🐶 Meet Gemma! Gemma is a 6-year-old Pit mix who's the perfect combination of playful and affectionate. She enjoys romping around with her dog friends, but once playtime is over, she's just as happy cuddling up beside her favorite person for some quality couch time.

Both of these sweet dogs have so much love to give, and they're ready to find families of their own. They've mastered the art of playtime, now they just need someone to share the rest of life's adventures with!

Could Target or Gemma be your new best friend?

💃 Meet one of our newest arrivals, Salsa! 🌶️

🐾 Female, spayed
🐾 Terrier mix
🐾 1 year old
🐾 38 lbs

Get ready to add a little spice to your life! Salsa is a 1-year-old Terrier mix with a spunky personality, a goofy side, and enough energy to keep you smiling all day long. This outgoing girl loves making new friends and sharing her sweet, affectionate side with everyone she meets! Salsa is still working on her manners and can get a little jumpy when she gets excited, but she's eager to enjoy life and would benefit from a family willing to help her continue learning. She's manageable overall on a leash and has one very important thing to tell you: personal space is overrated! Salsa seems to think she's a lap dog, and if there's an opportunity to snuggle up close to her favorite person, you can bet she'll take it. Salsa hasn't had a formal introduction to other dogs yet, but she's shown friendly interest when seeing them around the shelter. If you're looking for a fun-loving, affectionate pup who will bring plenty of laughter, love, and a little extra spice to your everyday life, Salsa might be your perfect match!

If you're interested in meeting Salsa, please fill out an adoption application at www.LakeshorePaws.org/adopt and call our office at (219) 476-7297 to confirm we received it!
