Hi, my name is Poppy! I have came such a long way since being in my foster home. I used to be really nervous of men, but now I enjoy cuddling with them! I love other dogs, but would benefit from a slow integration process once in a new home. Once I'm settled in, I enjoy playing with other dogs! I do very well with my foster mom's toddler granddaughter. I also really enjoy playing with my foster mom's puppies and personal dogs. I am loved by everyone in the house and I love to return the affection! I like to sleep in, so don't expect me to wakeup in a timely manner. I need my beauty sleep! I really can't wait to meet you and make new memories.Born 06/05/2022- adoption price $250- medium-large sized at 60lbs- house broken - good with dogs  - good with kidsFill out an application at all4animalsrescue.org  ##1520156##

Story
Hi, I'm Princess. I'm a gentle, young pup who sometimes has an old soul. I love spending time with people. Sometimes I do have my zoomies and young dog energy! When I'm not zooming I just like to snuggle with people. I do need to be the only animal in the home. I prefer not to share a home with other dogs or cats. I would love to work with one of the trainers that All 4 Animal Rescue recommends! I will need someone who can commit to a training plan with one of the recommended trainers so that I can continue to make progress and be as successful as possible in my new home. A home that is low traffic and can give me time to decompress and learn a new routine paired with a training plan is ideal for me. I've been introduced to clicker training and go on decompression walks/hikes at a huge sniffspot and I enjoy it! I can't wait to meet you and start a new journey with my forever family. I hope to see you soon! Born 10/16/2021 - spayed - adoption fee 300 - No kids - No dogs - No cats - house broken   Fill out an application at all4animalsrescue.org ##1681726##

Hello, my name is Hati! I am a very cuddly lady who enjoys her cuddles and toys. When I'm not cuddling, I am zooming! The volunteers say I walk pretty nice on leash and listen well. I came to All 4 Animals Rescue underweight while also dealing with a pretty bad skin condition. I will need to be on medication for the remainder of my life and a bath a few times a week to help my skin heal and keep it as healthy as possible! I might be a early senior, but I still have so much life to live! Foster to adopt applies to my case and I really hope you can give me a shot! Birthday 01/01/2018 - spayed - cuddle bug - early senior - medicated for life and needs a few baths a week to maintain skin condition   fill out an application at all4animalsrescue.org ##1938925##

Story
Hero came to us after he was found by a local animal lover with 2 broken legs. This is a nice, friendly boy who is good with people, other dogs & cats. His approx. birth date is 01/01/18 and he currently weighs 41#. We did not see either parent and are guessing at breed based on physical attributes. We had both legs corrected at the price of $7000 and the results were great. The surgeon stated that the legs were broken most likely by a bat and that they were definitely broken at least 2 weeks apart. Someone did very bad things to this nice boy. Hero has been in foster and is House Trained. He has also graduated from basic obedience and is ready to move up to Dog 3 Obedience Class! Hero can be very possessive of his people and can be dog selective. We are recommending his as an only dog in an adult home. He has been vet. checked, neutered, micro chipped, is up to date on routine shots & wormings including rabies, and has been treated with flea & heart worm preventative per our protocol And heart worm tested negative.His adoption donation is $300 and needs to be cash, certified check, money order or a debit/credit card. There is a 3% processing fee when using a debit/credit card. We do not ship or transport.Please email for an application if you would like to provide this nice kid with his forever home. ##580807##

My name is Trigger! I’m 11 months old & I love to play! I’m obsessed with all toys but squeaky toys are definitely my favorite! I enjoy going on walks & car rides as well. I do well with children & cats. I tend to get a little excited to play with them but that’s to be expected since I’m still just a pup! I love to cuddle too! I know how to sit & lay down as well.

These pups are in Elkhart, Indiana too!

Story
Lyra Lyra has mastered the puppy dog eyes - even still at approximately 7 years old. She understands that your couch is our couch, your bed is our bed, makes herself at home, and even updates the Feng Shui of any cushions - free of charge! She is packed full of personality, and loves to be near you as much as possible. Lyra was clearly cared for in her past life, and it's possible she never used to have to potty outside if it was raining or snowing. Despite not being a lover of the elements, she does still adhere to her potty training and makes every effort to "hold it" until she's let outside.  Thus far, she has gotten along with everyone and everything. Anyone - human, dog, or even car - that passes by is a potential new friend, and she is READY to greet them (nicely and quietly). She reads the room really well and doesn't want to start any trouble, but she will absolutely let loose and wrestle, chase, and smack talk if she has a willing playmate. She has not resource guarded anything but bones so far, and is OK if you touch her food, but very very sad if you take it away (even to add to it), or don't put enough food in her bowl to begin with. She will hit you with her signature puppy eyes and they are very effective.  She has some pretty big feelings about being left alone. She is currently on Prozac to help manage those feelings, and she will sing you the song of her people when you leave her. But she does better with another dog in the home, and is an absolute angel while you're gone. She does NOT like being cooped up, caged, or tethered, though. The only time she has ever been destructive is when she has not had free range.  She does OK on the leash - she pulls but listens and distracts you with the little flops of the tips of her ears. Off leash, she gets the zoomies and particularly enjoys spinning in circles. She is also pretty good about coming to you.. Once she has taken in the sights and smells.  We do not know her past. She has several scars, and a knee that's been fixed up. None of that seems to have phased her, however! She is the absolute sweetest dog and just wants to love and be loved. She is very playful and would prefer a home with other pets, and ideally someone who is either retired, works from home, or a home where at least one human is home at any given time.  We've not tested for everything yet - but we suspect she'd be friends with any age of human, and any animal. We do not accept electric/underground fences. All dogs & cats in the home must be spayed/neutered & up to date on core vaccines & preventatives in order for your application to be approved. ##1840663##
