Pet of the Week – Eli

Sponsored by Fort Financial Credit Union

Eli is a very friendly and loving approximately 10-month-old Australian Shepherd-mix who was surrendered to the shelter by his owner who just didn’t have enough time for him.

Eli is housebroken, crate trained, cat and dog-friendly – and just a really good boy. This large pup is very loving and friendly, but needs some basic training (he jumps up like a puppy, but he is becoming a large dog). He loves to catch a ball, and he is really good at it. Eli will make some active family a magnificent pet!

If you are interested in adding this pup to your family, please stop by the Whitley County Humane Shelter to meet Eli. The shelter is located at 951 S. Line St., Columbia City. Shelter hours are Tuesday and Thursday, 2-7 and Saturday, 1-5.

We are getting MANY more adoptions since BuscoVoice.com and other media have been featuring animals.

I am going to ask if I can add a section to the adoption application so we can gauge how people hear about certain animals, or our shelter in general. We will list your Web site as an option.

We (including the animals) are so grateful to you for featuring adoptable animals.

Lover Boy is an exceptionally beautiful young male medium-longhaired older kitten that makes officials at the Whitley County Humane Shelter think he might have some Maine Coon in him.

“His tail looks like a very long, plumey raccoon tail,” said one humane shelter volunteer. Lover Boy is as sweet as he is beautiful. He likes to be held and cuddled, and he is very relaxed. This is a cat who has been well-socialized. WCHS officials aren’t sure of his age – but estimate he was probably was born this past spring.

“Pictures really don’t do this cat justice,” said one volunteer, “Please come in and meet Lover Boy today – we don’t think he’ll be here long.”

Please come see this very special Lover Boy today at the Whitley County Humane Shelter, 951 S. Line St., Columbia City.

Doc is an older Chihuahua-mix who is estimated at around 10 years of age.

Doc was brought to the shelter months ago, when his previous owner was placed in a nursing home. Doc is currently living in a foster home, and is known to be dog-friendly, housebroken, and a quiet dog. Though Doc appears to like children, we recommend that he be placed in an all adult household because of his age and size. Doc’s foster mom says, “He is a quiet Chihuahua, although he is a good watchdog. Doc is a great companion, he likes attention all of the time and wants to be with you – even following you from room to room.”

Doc does take medication for his heart, which costs around $5 per month.

Please call the shelter if you would like to arrange a time to meet him at 260.244.6664, or e-mail dirhswc@yahoo.com.

This dog qualifies for the “Seniors for Seniors” special! If you are 60 or older, you may adopt this pet for ½ price! Please call the shelter for more details.
