Story
Hi, I’m Burt — your future oversized best friend and certified goofball. 2.5 years old | Shepherd/Hound mix | 95 lbs of love   If you’ve ever dreamed of having a gentle giant who looks at you like you’re the best thing in the universe…that's me! I’m known for my big, goofy smile and even bigger heart. I’m house trained, well mannered, and full of personality. I’m also a bit of a talker, I love expressing my thoughts & being the center of attention! I showed up as a stray, so my past is a bit of a mystery. But one thing is clear:I absolutely LOVE humans. I’m affectionate, playful, goofy and bond deeply with people close to me.   I’m truly a great dog, I'm just looking for a home without other dogs, cats or any small animals! I'm a natural hunter at heart. I can be friendly with other big dogs in passing and short introductions, but I think I'd do best as your one and only. I recently went to foster-to-adopt home with another big dog, but I think I prefer my own space.   But here’s something pretty amazing:My adoption fee is COMPLETELY sponsored by Joe’s Hope Foundation in honor of Deb Ogle, which means my future family can take me home for FREE! If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will make you laugh, make you feel loved, and make every day a little brighter… come meet me. I’m so ready to be someone’s big love.   Neutered, Heartworm & Lyme negative, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives.    Interested in meeting and possibly adopting? Please start by filling out an application here: https://www.fultoncoanimalcenter.org/application-to-adopt-a-dog   Once we receive your application, a staff member will review it and contact you to schedule a meet and greet. If you already have dogs at home, they must attend the meet and greet as well.   If it’s a good fit, you may be able to take your new best friend home the same day! We also offer a 2-week foster-to-adopt trial period to ensure it’s the right match for everyone.   Adoption Hours Monday & Saturday: 11 AM – 4 PM |Tuesday & Friday: 11 AM – 5 PM |Wednesday: 11 AM – 6 PM | Thursday & Sunday: CLOSED ##2521397##

Maya is a very sweet and loving dog and shes very smart. She constantly needs to do something or she becomes very destructive which is why I have to rehome her. I cannot afford to keep replacing everything that she has chewed up. This is very difficult for me. I want her to be and a loving home. I have a kennel for her as well.

I'm Lulu and although I'm an older girl I still have lots of love to give. I would be best in a home that's nice a quiet.

I love my blankets and will take it from you so I can put it just how I want it. Please come meet me and consider me in your home for my final years. I promise that I will show you all the love!Give the shelter a call at (574) 267-3008 or email them at info@awlwarsaw.com if you have any questions about me!

Story
I'm Athena! I came into the shelter as a stray and my owners called and felt it was best they didn't reclaim me. True to my breed (shepherd mix) I have lots of energy and I'm very smart. That's part of the reason I ended up here. I kept getting loose, mostly breaking my tie outs. The lack of exercise and my need to expel my energy made for a dangerous situation because I kept getting bored and getting lose so my owners were afraid I would eventually get hit on the busy road they lived off of. I would prefer a home with a fence but this isn't a deal breaker if you are willing to train me (like I said I am very smart!) and be sure to give me plenty of exercise. Daily walks would be a must if you don't have a fenced in yard. I'm not the biggest on toys but I do like a good bone to chew. I had young kids in my home and I was happy living with them. I understand you will need to work and that's ok I am crate trained and speaking of trained I come potty trained! What more could you ask for, I'm young and willing to learn take a chance on me and you wont be disappointed. I will always make sure you get your daily steps in!!Give the shelter a call at (574) 267-3008 or email them at info@awlwarsaw.com if you have any questions about me! If not, stop by the shelter at 1048 S 325 E in Pierceton, IN 46562 to look at me! No appointments necessary!

Story
Meet Butterball a 2.5 year old shepherd mix who is ready to find his perfect home. With a rough start to life Butterball along with the other 7 dogs he came in with were left outside without proper food, water or shelter. Never knowing the feeling of a loving home or someone who truly cares for him he is ready to finally find someone to care for him the way he deserves. Butterball survived the only way he knew how and quickly learned to fight for every bit of food he could get so he now resources guards his food which makes him selective with other dogs. While his resource guarding with food may be better now that he is being feed every day, its best to assume he would be best in an only dog home or someone who can feed separate. Of course a meet and greet is required with any dogs going to go to a home to live with another dog. Come get Butterball out and take him for a walk and you will notice he is a happy go lucky guy who loves to love on his people. Butterball would love a chance to find out what its like to have a loving family.Give the shelter a call at (574) 267-3008 or email them at info@awlwarsaw.com if you have any questions about me!
