Kid-Friendly Dogs for Adoption in Fort Wayne, IN: 24 Dogs Good with Children

Hi, I'm Zena and my care takers describe me as loving with lots of energy. I have a very high prey drive and will go after small animals so no cats or small animals in the home will be best. I was also dog tested with a larger dog and didn't seem to mind the larger dog (I seem to know when I have met my match) but they will definitely require a meet and greet to make sure I'm going to be nice. If I could make a request, I would love a home that has lots of toys for me to play with especially rope toys! If you are ready for a spit fire in a tiny body stop out and see me! I have lots of love to give and can't wait for my family to find me.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!

Hi there! My name is Roger and I am 1 years old! I am a sweet, friendly guy that came into the shelter terrified of life and a little thin... but look at me now! While I still may be a little shy to warm up to new friends and new environments, I am doing so much better each and every day! I love to play fetch! I am a pretty good mix of playful and chill! I can play and play if you'd like but also I would love to flop onto the couch with you and watch a movie. Lets be the best of friends! I have done well with other dogs and once I warm up to their presence (people are more fun to me at first), I would love to play! I was found as a stray and unfortunately no one stepped forward to claim me, so staff is not sure if I am housetrained.

Hi friends! My name is Penny and I am 10 months old. I am a super sweet puppy that is pretty energetic! I would do best in a home with a fenced in yard where I can zoom out my energy! I am playful, affectionate, friendly and so much fun! As long as I have toys to play with, I can entertain myself by throwing them in the air and chasing after them. It's a trick I taught myself!Give the shelter a call at (574) 267-3008 or email them at info@awlwarsaw.com if you have any questions about me!

Meet Panda a sweet 5 1/2 year old aussie mix who is looking for a soft bed to land on. I'm sweet and listen well. Panda was adopted from us once before but came back due to her owner having health issues. We are told that she is potty trained, likes golf cart rides and being with her people. Panda is the definition of lazy, this big girl doesn't want to help you get in shape or be your walking partner. She would like nothing more than short walks to the kitchen for a snack and into the backyard to use the restroom. While loving on Panda you may notice a lump on her back, when the last owner had it checked by a vet they said it isn't anything that will affect her.

Meet Dixon our 1 year old staffy mix. This blue eyed guy is looking for his perfect match! Are you looking for a handsome young man to join your family?

Or maybe you are looking for that perfect match that will play with the kids and join you on your long walks. Look no further than Dixon! He is all of that and more. This handsome guy has a heart of gold and gives the best hugs. His dream is to one day have a family of his very own, and no worries if you have a family he will slide right in and make himself at home on the couch.

Hi there! My name is Bentley and I am 2.5 years old. I am a sweet, playful boy that is back here at the shelter; I was adopted last year and have returned due to there being a baby in the household. I am a friendly, affectionate boy that is pretty high energy! I like to be a lap dog when I want to be though and can provide some great snuggles! I am friendly with strangers and visitors too and want to play with them! I do well with other doggos, including large and small dogs, and I have lived successfully with cats too! I am crated when I am left alone in the home and I do pretty well... but I do like to tear up my stuffed animals.

Meet Dodger, a happy go lucky guy who at just 1 year still has a lot of life let in him. Dodger came to AWL as a stray and we cant help but notice how much he looks like Rodger! They also seem to have similar temperaments but still very much each their own. Dodger has been around some of the staffs kids and absolutely had a good time, he also likes to play with other dogs. He may not be every dogs cup of tea as he like to get on top of other dogs and is very vocal while playing so some dogs may not enjoy that. We do require a meet and greet to make sure the dogs personalities align. Dodger also we tested with cats and he did great! He saw the cats run across the floor but he could have cared less about the cats.

Hello, my name is Silna. I am a sweet and quiet girl. My fur is so warm and soft, would you like to pet me? I'd love to be petted and cuddled. I also like to go for walks. My dream is to find a loving family that will let me watch tv with them and comfy bed where I can nap.

Hi there! I'm Kilo and I am 5 years old. I am a good boy that was recently surrendered to the shelter due to no fault of my own. My mom loved me very, very much and giving up my fur sister and I was very hard on her. She gave the shelter all kinds of information on me, so lets talk about it! I have successfully lived with Maelin (my fur sister who is also available for adoption), cats and kittens and an infant and I have done amazing with them. I cuddle with all of them! I am a good boy that listens very well and I know how to sit, stay, come and shake. I am loyal and protective and sometimes that means that I am weary of strange men.

Meet Goose, a 1 year old Chesapeake bay retriever. Not a breed we see much here at AWL and getting know her personality has been fun and interesting! Goose found her self as a stray and her owners chose not to reclaim her. Goose will need an active family (she is a breed of hunting dog!) Goose is not good with cats. She does enjoy playing with other dogs but she would do best in a home without them because she resource guards food and door ways from other dogs. As much as she enjoys playing with other dogs she just hasn't proven that she is safe to live with another dog. Goose does enjoy to play ball and is good with people including children.

Hi there! My name is Boone and I am 4.5 years old! I am a sweet boy that loves to give hugs! I'm a typical hound and will show you my treeing skills. I ran a cat right up the cat tree and howled and howled to let the staff know where to find that cat! Because of this staff has decided that a cat free home would be best for me but I maybe a great hunting partner! Now as far as dogs and children go I am great with both!

Hi there! My name is Kingston and I am 1 years old! I am a sweet, goofy guy that is ready to make you laugh! I have lots of energy and will need a home that understands huskies! I don't like going back in my kennel because I would really just love to stay with my people. In a home I should be crate trained to keep me safe while you are away but I will need lots of positive reinforcement and to learn that you will come back and I will get to go out again! I want to be good but all this energy keeps me moving. I was in a home with young children and was good with them but anyone considering taking me home should know I may knock little ones over when I get to running through the house.

Hi everyone!! My name is Angel and it fits me pretty well! I am a super sweet girl that is 4 years old! I was recently surrendered to the shelter due to no fault of my own, and I would love it if you came to meet me so I can find my furever family! I act a a little intimidating behind my kennel, but I assure you it is because I am scared here and I am not used to being locked up. I was raised around children and I am housetrained, but I can be picky on who I like as my fur siblings, so I would need a slow introduction with them (like all shelter dogs!). Come say hi!Give the shelter a call at (574) 267-3008 or email them at info@awlwarsaw.com if you have any questions about me!

Meet Maxwell a 4 year old mix who is still full of life and energy!. Maxwell loves to play, especially with those stuffed toys! Maxwell enjoys going outside and have the attention of everyone around him. Maxwell is good with dogs and would make a good dog to bring home as a friend to your own dog. Maxwell doesn't do well with cats so he would prefer a home without them and we are sure the cats would appreciate that you don't bring him home to them. Come meet Maxwell and let him show you how much fun he can be!Give the shelter a call at (574) 267-3008 or email them at info@awlwarsaw.com if you have any questions about me!

Hi there! I'm Zora and I am 7 years old. I am a sweet girl that is very loving and cuddly once I get to know you! I am a little wary of strangers, but when I realize you are not going to hurt me or my people, we are good! I do very well with kids and consider them my own! I can be hyper when I want to but for the most part, I am just a chill gal. While I am not a fan of other dogs, I have successfully lived with a cat before! There are times when I really don't act my age... I love tug of war and I will win. I love to play fetch (though this old dog could learn a new trick of 'drop it') and will chase balls all day until I tire myself out! My owner could not keep me for reasons outside of my control.

Hiiii, I'm Esther and I'm 4 years old! I am a super sweet girl that loves and adores everyone I meet! Literally everyone! I am the friendliest girl with people and kiddos! I LOVE to play fetch, and I love, love, love balls! I can even play frisbee like an absolute champ! Once I am all tired out, I will plop down on my belly and spread out to rest. I absolutely enjoy cuddles and snoozing out on the couch! I listen well to my owners, and I have pretty good manners too! I know how to sit, stay and down! I do not do well with other dogs, so I do need a dog-free home! I am not dog reactive, meaning you can walk me safely in the neighborhood or down a sidewalk, but I would not do well living in a home with other dogs as I get jealous and want to hog all the attention to myself.
