Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.adoption fee $250.00 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.March 2, 2026, 10:36 am

Story
Orlo will be 2 years old in April 2, 2026. I got him as a rescue when he was 2 months old. He is extremely friendly, energetic, and smart. He has a jumping problem because he wants to give everyone hugs and kisses. He does great on a leash aside from some pulling at first and will sit and heel on command. He knows a lot of other tricks as well. Hes excellent with potty training and has not had an accident in the house in over a year. Hes never been remotely aggressive with other dogs, but he can be annoying as he often doesnt get when they have had enough play. He can play for hours by himself, especially outside. His biggest problem area is that he is kennel aggressive. When stressed, he will kennel himself and bark/lunge/and growl at anyone nearby. He’ll eventually snap out of it and be fine in the kennel. He has never actually bitten anyone in this state and it seems to be anxiety based. My ideal adopter would be someone with land where he can roam for most of the day.

Story
Weight: 54 lbs 💙🐾 Meet Bandit – An Energetic Soul with a Playful Spark! 🐾💙 Bandit is a handsome blue heeler mix with a shy, thoughtful personality and a heart full of potential. He may take a little time to warm up, but once he feels comfortable, his playful side shines. Especially when it’s time to play fetch, his absolute favorite game! This smart boy already knows how to sit and shake, showing off his brains along with his good manners. As a herding breed, Bandit has natural instincts that can make living with other small animals a bit challenging for him because he lives for the chase. Bandit would do best with an active family and a large space to run and play. Before arriving at the shelter; Bandit lived out in the country with a ton of space and a nearby pond and regularly went on long runs. A constantly low activity environment could be frustrating for him, which may not reflect well. Dogs: No Thank you! Cats: No thank you!! Kids: No Tiny Tots due to herding tendencies!!

Weight: 59Lbs Meet Frankie 💕🐾 Frankie is a beautiful Australian Cattle Dog mix with a sensitive soul and the sweetest heart. She likes to take a minute to warm up — she’s more of a “let me observe you first” kind of girl — but once she knows you’re safe, she blossoms into the most loyal little shadow you could ever ask for. She prefers gentle introductions (no surprise head pats or fast movements, please — this queen values her personal space). Calm voices, slow movements, and letting her come to you are the way to win her over. Frankie thrives in a peaceful environment where she can feel secure and understood. And when she’s comfortable? That’s when her fun side shines. Frankie absolutely loves squeaky toys — one little squeak and she’s locked in, wiggly and ready to play. Watching her light up during playtime is pure joy. Frankie would do best as the only dog in the home, where she can soak up all the love and attention without feeling overwhelmed. She bonds deeply with her people and truly wants to be someone’s whole world. She’s the perfect blend of cautious and cuddly — a tender-hearted girl who just needs a little patience before she shows you just how sweet, loyal, and playful she really is. If you’re looking for a devoted best friend who will stick by your side through it all, Frankie is ready to choose you. 💗 Dogs: Must meet all pups in home! Cats: Unknown Kids: No tiny tots, must meet all kiddos in the home!!
