Adult Dogs for Adoption in Jeffersonville, IN: 30 Grown-Up Dogs Looking for a Home

Adult Dogs up for adoption near Jeffersonville, IN

Rescues and shelters within 100 miles of Jeffersonville have 106 adult dogs up for adoption. Here are the 30 newest, each with photos, their story and how to reach the rescue looking after them.

Adult dogs usually wait longer for homes than puppies, but their personalities are already settled, so you know just what you're getting: a couch companion, a running partner or a gentle family dog.

1. Snowball

Young (1 year) · Male · Poodle (unknown type) / Maltese / Mixed (long coat) · 91 mi from Jeffersonville

Meet SNOWBALL, a fluffy little poodle mix boy looking for a home. He's an energetic young goofball. Snowball is 1 year old and we're told he was purchased as a Maltipoo. He's fully grown, currently 17 pounds but could stand to add a pound or two. He's energetic, playful and good natured. He needs a little work on his manners, nothing major, mostly he's just a little too enthusiastic. Snowball really needs the companionship of another playful dog. He's not ready for lapdog life, this boy wants to have FUN!! Snowball's scruffy coat will require regular grooming, his adopter should be prepared for that expense. His coat is really short right now, we aren't sure if he was shaved down before he was surrendered to a shelter. If you'd like to meet Snowball, please fill out a dog adoption application at
dreamhouserescue.org.
We are happy to arrange a private meet with an approved adopter. You can meet Snowball at our weekly adoption event, Saturday 11:30am-1:30pm at PetSmart Eastgate.

Young (10 months) · Female · Beagle / Mixed (short coat) · 91 mi from Jeffersonville

MIMOSA is a lovely little beagle mix girl looking for a home. This stunning young dog is sister to Aspen and Cedar but looks less beagly than her siblings. She has the trim, high waisted body style of a sight hound (i.e. whippet) and lovely caramel-colored eyes. Mimosa is 10-12 months old and fully grown at just 18 pounds. She loves toys and loves to run and play with her doggie friends. Mimosa needs a home where she'll have a friendly dog playmate. She is uninterested in cats. Mimosa has some scarring on her back from an old wound. Something happened to her as a young puppy (we have no clue what happened). It almost looks like a cowlick now. If you'd like to meet lovely Mimosa, please fill out a dog adoption application at dreamhouserescue.org. We are happy to arrange a private meet with an approved adopter. You can meet Mimosa at our weekly adoption event, Saturday 11:30am-1:30pm at PetSmart Eastgate.

I'm a sweet energetic gal. House broken, crate trained, good with kids and other dogs. My parents took in some long term guests into the home, with the crowding and delicate nature of some of the new residents, I had to start spending a lot more time in the yard. I get bored sometimes and get into trouble in the yard. They said I am good in the house though, so they let me have run of the house while they are at work. I'm really hoping that I can find a new family to love me and let me be a central part of the family again.

Young (1 year) · Male · Unknown breed (short coat) · 91 mi from Jeffersonville

This boy stole everyone’s hearts yesterday! He showed off his tricks at Tractor Supply, was a pro for his bath, played in the yard, and then took a nice long nap.

He headed to the vet and was the perfect gentleman! He got his vaccines and medication for an ear infection, but otherwise received a clean bill of health. He was already neutered, too!

McRib is now safe with his lifesaving foster, Amy, where he’s enjoying the backyard and playing Frisbee. He LOVES people and just wants to be wherever you are!

Read more about McRib

He’s only about a year old, and somewhere along the way, someone took the time to love him, train him, and neuter him. Yet somehow, he ended up a stray and on the euthanasia list.

Please remember, euthanasia doesn't always mean a dog has behavioral or medical issues. They was simply out of space.

He isn't damaged goods. He's a happy, loving pup who deserves a family of his own.

19. Zoe

Adult · Shih Tzu (long coat) · 42 mi from Jeffersonville

Meet Zoe — Our Spicy Little Shih Tzu
Zoe is about 7 years old and full of personality.
She’s a classic shih tzu with a cute face, a big attitude, and a whole lot of opinions about how the world should work. Zoe can be nippy and snappy, especially with new people or when she feels unsure.
She’ll need an adopter who understands that some dogs need time, patience, and structure to feel safe. The right person will go slow, set boundaries, and let Zoe settle in at her own pace.The good news? Zoe is very treat‑motivated, which makes training and trust‑building much easier.
Once she decides you’re her person, she’ll show you her sweet side — but she needs someone willing to put in the work to get there.
Zoe should go to a home with no young kids, and ideally someone experienced with small dogs who have a little spice.
If you’re the kind of person who loves a project pup with a big personality, Zoe might be your girl.

Why adopt an adult dog in Jeffersonville

An adult dog's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are already house-trained.

Grown dogs need less supervision than puppies and often know the basics, like sitting and walking on a leash, which suits people who work or have young children.
