22. Otis

Adult · Male · Labrador Retriever / Staffordshire Bull Terrier / Mixed

Otis is being Fostered in Fort Wayne We can't say enough about Otis and what a great dog he is. He is smallboned at 43 pounds. He loves people, other dogs, and ignores cats. He is between 1 and 2 years old. He is very sweet and loves his dog buddies, snacks, and his toys. He’s not crazy about the leash yet, so he gets his exercise in a fenced area, running around and playing with his stuffies. He would love a home with another submissive dog to cuddle with. He truly loves his foster dogsHe had such a hard life in Louisiana before he came here. He deserves a great home. He was wandering the streets as a stray, and his body shows the trauma that comes from surviving as a street dog — he has many scars.

He wandered into a lady’s yard, probably looking for food. Instead of giving him any help, she beat him with a baseball bat. He cowered down, did not react, did not get aggressive — he just took the beating until another person saw what was happening, stepped in, and took him to the shelter.

Tana — A Gentle Girl with a Playful Heart
With her beautiful markings, warm eyes, perky ears, and little spots on her neck, Tana is full of charm. This sweet Border Collie–Australian Shepherd mix loves chin rubs and stretches out her long, elegant legs when she’s relaxing.
Tana enjoys other dogs, loves chasing the water hose, and settles beautifully in her crate. She takes a little time to feel comfortable, but her playful, affectionate side shines as her confidence grows.
A calm home, a predictable routine, and gentle, positive training will help her blossom. She would love a patient adopter and ideally another friendly dog to share her days.Tana was brought to a Southern IN shelter as a stray but the shelter is pretty sure that it was indeed her owner that brought her in.
Tana is being fostered in Long Beach, IN

Cities and towns in Pulaski County

Adopting a dog in Pulaski County

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
