Story
Helloooooo. I'm Roxy and I am 6 years old! I am a really sweet girl that enjoys going on walks! While I do need some leash manners, I am quick to learn because I loooove treats! I love to stay busy and have play time. I especially love to play fetch and I am quite good at it! At the end of the day, I want some cuddle time as well, and I really love to lounge on the couch and lay my head in your lap to fall asleep. Ohhh, and my favorite thing ever is some butt scratches, so my new furever home must include those too! I get along well with other dogs, and I do wonderful with kids too, but no cat friends for me please! I came into the shelter as a stray, but my collar said my name on it, so at least I got to keep my original name. I'm a sweet girl, and would love to come home and join your familySome quick facts about me: Not Cat FriendlyDog FriendlyKid FriendlySweet girl that loves to playWeight: 51 lbsIntake Date: 10/13/2023Reason: StrayGive the shelter a call at (574) 267-3008 or email them at info@awlwarsaw.com if you have any questions about me!

Hi! My name is Addie and I'm 5.5 years old! I am a sweet, loyal, protective and smart girl that loves attention!! I would thrive in a home that can provide the attention a dog needs, which is why I was brought to the shelter. While I enjoy being around children, I can be a little nervous around some adults! I mean, you don't like every person you meet right? I'm the same way, sometimes I can just be a little shy to warm up! I love treats, going for car rides, enjoy sleeping in bed with you, and I love attention! I know basic commands like sit, lay down, shake, and I'm housetrained. I would do best as the only pet in the home (I like to chase cats, horses, and other farm animals), but I can get along with submissive female dogs and male dogs! Please come on out and give me a chance!

Story
Hi guys, I'm Buddy. I'm just a little over a year old, and I have the energy to prove it! I would make a great companion for an active family, and I do well with other dogs, but I am dominant when it comes to other males. I am treat motivated, and I love to spend my free time chasing balls! When I first came in, I had a lot of trouble with my ears but the staff and veterinarian have taken good care of me, so they are much better now! I will always have the cauliflower ears, but they do not bother me any longer! I am a good boy just looking for a home where we can share lots of attention and lovings! Please come out to meet me today!I have been at the shelter for quite some time now, and it is really weighing on my stress levels. I hope someone will come to meet me soon as I promise I am a good boy. Sometimes I can seem off-putting at first, but that is just until I realize I can trust you. You see, I came in as a stray and I don't want that life again. I may be losing the hope out of my eyes, but when I realize I am in a safe and warm home... That is the dream and I am yearning for it!

Story
HELLO! I'm Elvis and I'm 5.5 years old! I am a sweet and talkative boy that LOVES to be outside to sniff my surroundings. I am a very friendly and food motivated boy. I am not a dog that seeks out affection, but I don't mind receiving it, even from strangers! I am just an outdoorsy boy and am very content with running around with friends and family! I have little interest in toys, but I do enjoy long walks and hiking. I am an old soul that is pretty set in my ways, so while I wouldn't mind another dog in the home, I will be picky on who I select as my fur sibling! Cats and young kids probably aren't a good idea for me due to my breed and my size, but I promise I will make up those deficits with my amazing personality! I am one heck of a good boy, so please come and meet me today! I came into the shelter as a transfer from another shelter because I was a long-term dog there and I was in a city setting! Being able to move here to AWL where there are more people with open land, I am excited to see if someone with property will adopt me! I would take care of those pesky rodents for yah...Some quick facts about me: Not Cat FriendlyDog Selective (friendly for the most part, honestly ignores other dogs)Kid Friendly (ages 10+)HousetrainedVocal but lovely boy*** SALMON & GRAIN DIET Weight: 73lbsIntake Date: 12/09/2023Reason: Transfer.

Hey there friends! I'm Zed and I'm just over 2 years old. I am your typical boxer boy that has lots of love and all the energy. I love play time and to go outside on walks! I could use some help with the leash training, but other than that I'm a good boy. I do get short bursts of energy, so afterwards I would love to cuddle on the couch or go on a soothing car ride. I came into the shelter as a stray, so I would love to find my furever family soon! Come get to know me and lets see where this goes!Some quick facts about me: Not Cat Friendly Dog SelectiveKid FriendlySweet, energetic boyWeight: 55 lbsIntake Date: 11/21/2023Reason: Stray found in PiercetonGive the shelter a call at (574) 267-3008 or email them at info@awlwarsaw.com if you have any questions about me!

Hi, I'm Serena and I am 4.5 years old! I am the sweetest, goodest girl once I am comfortable around you! I am shy at first, but when I realize we are friends, get ready for lots of energy and to wrestle! I love to play, including with the water hose! I am cat friendly, but I can be picky on my doggy friends because I like to be the one in charge, especially during play time. I would do wonderful in a one person home or with a couple that has older kids. I used to be an emotional support dog, and I have saved my person's life a few times, but due to circumstances that were of no fault of mine, I had to be surrendered here to the shelter. I would love to find my furever home soon so please come out to meet me!Some quick facts about me: Cat FriendlyDog SelectiveKid Friendly (ages 12+)HousetrainedSweet & SillyIntake Date: 01/20/2024Reason: Unsuitable AccommodationsGive the shelter a call at (574) 267-3008 or email them at info@awlwarsaw.com if you have any questions about me!
