Story
Lola is 6 years old. She is a laid back dog. She loves belly rubs. She does still like to be active. But also likes being a couch potato. I believe she was abused by her previous owner, so she can be a bit skid dish at times or afraid. Bones and balls are her favorite toys.I am rehoming her with my other dog listed. They are inseparable.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.adoption fee $400 Cooper is a young Cattle Dog/Terrier mix with a bright mind and a big heart. He’s making great progress with potty training, does well in his crate, and loves playing with the pets in his foster home. He’s currently learning his leash manners and, like many herding breeds, has plenty of energy to spare—a fenced yard would be nice but not a requirement. We think Cooper has the potential to really shine in agility or other active training activities! Before adopting, we always encourage families to research the breed to make sure the energy level, temperament, and lifestyle needs are a good match. Cooper is an amazing pup who will thrive with an active family ready to help him reach his full potential. New foster dogs need time to feel safe. They may be skittish or fearful, so always stay with them outside—even in fenced yards. Ensure collars and leashes fit securely to prevent escapes. Your gentle presence and protection help them feel loved and secure. The adoption fee helps allow Perfect Paws to provide all animals with current, age appropriate vaccinations which include, DHLPP, Kennel Cough and Rabies (if the pet is at least 13 weeks old), and spay/neuter when necessary.  The fee also helps with the cost of deworming; heartworm testing (if the pet is at least 1 year old), heartworm prevention as well as flea and tick prevention for animals cared for through the rescue. He will go home with a collar, leash, and vaccination record. If you would like to adopt this very special K-9 kid, please go DIRECTLY to our website to complete our convenient Online Adoption Form.  Our website is www.perfectpawspetrescue.org cut and paste our web address into your browser to get to our site.  Email any questions to perfectpawsrescueinc@gmail.com NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE.  Fort Wayne Indiana vicinity.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 31, 2026, 3:09 pm

Story
Meet Kat! 🐶 She is the sister of Kit, who was adopted last month. She is our sweet Blue Heeler mix, with a heart full of sunshine and zoomies! Kat was born around September 20, 2025, and she’s everything you’d expect from a happy, well‑socialized puppy. She adores people, loves other animals, and approaches the world with pure enthusiasm. If it moves, she wants to play with it! As a young herding‑breed mix, Kat is bright, energetic, and eager to learn. She’ll thrive in a home that’s ready to invest time in training, structure, and basic obedience. Kat has plenty of puppy energy to burn, so a secure, fenced‑in yard where she can run, explore, and practice her zoomies is a must. With the right guidance and consistency, she’s going to grow into an incredible companion! Adoption fee: $450

Story
Hello! This is a hard one for me. This beautiful boy is Cobain. He has displayed territorial tendencies in the past with new people coming into my home. I’m having a baby soon & I’m worried for Cobain and my child. I want to do what’s best for Cobain. Adoption fee is to ensure he’s not being taken for bad purposes. Cobain needs a home where he can be his energetic self. I will give you his crate/toys/etc. He is good with cats and female dogs, I have not tried male dogs since his neuter but doesn’t seem to react to the male dog who walks past our house. I am having to move from a farm to an apartment & Cobain needs space or someone who can take him for walks/let him run in a contained area. I have spent the last ten years somewhat sheltering Cobain due to his unpredictable behavior & fear of him getting hurt or hurting someone else. I have tried online training but I guess I’m not the best trainer for a dog like Cobain. I’ve given him love though. He needs an understanding owner.

Story
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxQD-9Bt1kw John Connor has been with the rescue since last summer since he and his mom were dumped in the country. He is about 18 months old now and I don't understand why he hasn't been adopted. He is adorable, he only weighs about 40 lbs, he is great with other dogs, people, and cats. Perfect little dude. He loves to run and play and splish splash in the water. He would make a great companion for an active individual or a family that enjoys outdoor adventures or spending lots of time in the backyard. He is currently still in Oklahoma where he was rescued but he can only be adopted out of state where people treat animals well. He has to be prepaid and picked up directly from transport at one of our transport drop off locations below. If things don't work out for some reason, which rarely ever happens, we will either find a local foster to take him in or he will go back to Oklahoma on our next transport until a new home is found. Note: No dogs are advertised as potty-trained because most dogs need at least some re-training in a new environment and after being in a shelter/rescue environment/strays. www.facebook.com/desideratarescue (copy and paste into a new browser window) Transport locations: - Washington State (Kennewick, Spokane, Tumwater, Tacoma, Tukwila, Lynnwood/Edmonds, Bellingham) - Oregon (Portland and Springfield) - Colorado (Ft Lupton) - Idaho (Heyburn and Boise/Meridian) - Utah (Ogden) - Wyoming (Evanston, Rock Springs, Laramie) - Montana (Missoula) - Illinois (Vandalia, Springfield, Chicago) - Indiana (Spiceland, Burn Harbor) - Michigan (St Joseph, Battle Creek, Ann Arbor) - Wisconsin (Madison, Wausau, Eau Claire, Appleton, Milwaukee) - Minnesota (Minneapolis/St Paul) - Iowa (Des Moines) - Ohio (Columbus and London) - Pennsylvania (Erie, Pittsburgh and Harrisburg) - New York (Buffalo and Albany) - Connecticut (Enfield) - New Jersey (Bedminster) - Nevada (Las Vegas) - Arizona (Flagstaff) -- Vermont (Brattleboro) Vetting: neutered, microchipped, rabies vaccine, bordetella vaccine, dhpp vaccine x 3, lepto vaccine x 2, dewormed several times, on monthly flea and tick prevention, on monthly heartworm protection, heartworm tested (negative).

Waylon

Australian Shepherd German Shepherd Dog

Male, 1 yr
Defiance, OH
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
This spotted cutie is Waylon!Waylon was recently surrendered from a multi-dog household after his previous family could no longer care for him. He is a friendly, energetic pup who is looking for an active home ready to keep both his brain and body busy. Waylon has been an absolute angel with our staff and has been easy to handle. He can be a little anxious when meeting new people, but offer him a treat and you’ll quickly become his new best friend.Despite his large size, Waylon is surprisingly well-mannered on leash and has done excellent in a securely fenced area. He is probably not a good candidate for a tie-out. Waylon is still working on house-training, but he is young, smart, and very eager to please, making him a great candidate for continued training.We do not know if Waylon has experience with cats or young children, but given his friendly nature, we believe he could do well with proper introductions.Waylon is available for immediate adoption and ready to find a family that can keep up with his fun-loving, adventurous spirit!**Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs 72 lbs**
