Sam Pit Bull Terrier Rushville, IN

Hello. Please meet Sam.

Sam is a big, handsome, good boy. He loves rolling in the grass, playing ball, and cuddling his stuffed lamb. And let’s not forget his running zoomies.

Sam was found dumped on March 6, 2025, in Rush County, Indiana. He was cold and scared. Since coming to us, he has been fully vetted, neutered, and microchipped. He is approximately 3 years old and weighs 75 pounds.

Sam is very food motivated. He has recently learned the commands “sit,” “stay,” “down,” and “roll over,” and he loves to shake paws. He is timid to young men, so slow introductions would be advised. He will need to be an only dog. We have noticed that he is dog reactive. He would love to be someone’s couch potato. He has so much love to give, however, we don’t know much about his past.

If you find it in your heart to let this good-looking guy in, he will steal your heart. He needs patience and, most of all, love.

This animal is already spayed or neutered and their adoption fee is free.

All dogs receive at least 1 distemper/parvo and Bordetella vaccine. If possible a heartworm test will be done and if negative the dog will be started on heartworm prevention. All animals receive a flea and parasite prevention/treatment and will be microchipped.

All animals can go home the same day as adoption. We will need your photo ID and you will sign some documents. Adopters will also receive a copy of the animal's medical history to date. We do not do an application process. All adoptions are first come, first serve. We do not offer holds.

We do not require in most cases that adopters bring all their families members and dogs for a meet and greet. But we do highly encourage it. We are happy to introduce the new dog to your dog(s) at the shelter. No appointment necessary.

We do offer home trials of dogs over 6 months of age for about a week. You will not need to pay the adoption fee (spay neuter deposit) ahead of time, but if you decide to adopt you will need to return to the shelter to complete the paperwork and pay the adoption deposit. If you do not wish to complete the adoption, you can bring the dog back at any time during normal business hours during your home trial period. We do not allow after hours drop off.
