Pit Bull Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Franklin, Indiana

Meet Tidal Wave!

This 49lb, 11-month-old, APBT mix is a gentle soul with a quiet strength that draws people in the moment they meet her. She arrived at the shelter as a stray, her past a mystery, but her kind nature speaks volumes about the life she’s ready to build moving forward. While some dogs bounce from toy to toy, Tidal Wave is much more interested in people. She’ll happily trade a squeaky toy for a few extra minutes of affection and companionship.

She keeps her kennel tidy, which suggests she may already understand the basics of house training, and she carries herself with a calm awareness of her surroundings. Though she has a medium to high energy level and enjoys staying active, she expresses it in a gentle, balanced way.

We do all adoptions with approved applicants by appointment only. If you are interested in adopting, please contact us via FB Messenger or email us at jcasreception@johnsoncounty.in.gov for an application. You can also find one on our website at http://johnsoncountyanimalshelter.com/adopt/. Once an application is submitted and approved, we can set an appointment to meet the pet!

With proper training and socialization, Pit Bull Terriers make affectionate companions that thrive on human interaction.
