Not only does spaying and neutering help to control the pet homelessness crisis, which results in millions of healthy dogs and cats being euthanized in the United States each year simply because there aren’t enough homes to go around, there are also medical and behavioral benefits to spaying and neutering your animals. You can read more here.
Spay-Neuter Services of Indiana (SNSI) receives funding from this specialty plate and provides direct support to nearly 250 rescue groups and shelters across the state. They give rescue groups and shelters FREE spay/neuter surgery certificates so they can alter pets before adopting them into their forever homes. SNSI also provides FREE certificates for Community Cats (feral and free-roaming cats), reducing the number of unwanted litters and preventing cats from entering shelters.

You must have an approved application prior to meeting one of our rescues. There is no obligation to adopt but it does help us to expedite the process.
You must provide the name and phone number of your current veterinarian where your pet records are located. If you do not currently have any pets and do not have a current veterinarian, we will need the name and phone number of your previous veterinarian. No application will be approved unless we receive this information.
We accept debit cards, credit cards, and cash at the time of adoption.

ZuZu is a 10 pound Basenji mix born in 2017. She was trapped by Marshall County Humane Society after she and 15 dogs were dumped in the woods by a backyard breeder/hoarder. ZuZu was emaciated and pregnant when we got her, but her puppies did not survive. When ZuZu first got to her foster home, she spent much of the first month under the bed until she trusted her foster mom. ZuZu would do best in an adult only household that is quiet; she is like the typical Basenji—shy and stand-offish, and needs someone with dog experience (not a first timer) who can be patient with her. She is not cat tested but gets along well with other dogs and is food motivated. She is protectiveof her human once she warms up, and will enjoy hanging out with you.
ZuZu’s foster mom is working with her on potty training, and she will use a pee pad if she cannot get outside. She is good on a leash, shares her toys, and is working on learning basic commands. Her new family will need to continue with her training. She is fed in her crate, and gets right in. She should be crated when there is no one home. ZuZu will try to get out of a pen or yard so she requires a home with a fence. Despite her size, she can be a jumper, so a fence of 5’ or taller. She loves the dog park, but as you can see in one of the pictures, her leash is kept on just in case! ZuZu is used to fending for herself and will not hesitate to run, and she is not easy to catch!
On the energy scale where 5 is very high energy, ZuZu scores a 3.
ZuZu is spayed, up to date on her vaccinations, microchipped, heartworm negative, and is on heartworm and flea/tick preventative.

All animals at Mixed Up Mutts are fully vetted prior to adoption.
For dogs, this includes—but but is not limited to—spay or neuter, negative heartworm test, vaccines (rabies, distemper, leptospirosis, parvovirus & bordetella), microchip, complete doses of intestinal all-wormer, and heartworm and flea/tick preventative.
For cats, this includes—but is not limited too—spay or neuter, vaccines (rabies and distemper), microchip, complete doses of intestinal all-wormer, and Revolution parasite preventative. Some cats may be tested/vaccinated for feline leukemia or FIV or be declawed. Please review the description of each cat for more information.
Occasionally MUM will receive an animal who needs more medical attention than listed above. MUM provides this for them yet does not add it to the adoption fee.Occasionally our adoption fees may be lower for special needs or senior dogs.Because of all this, MUM relies heavily on any and all donations!
