Dogs for Adoption in Steuben County, IN: 30 Dogs Looking for a Home

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 Kai and I am 7 years old. I am a sweet, friendly boy that can be a little shy when meeting new people at first. However, when I get to know you, I hope you are prepared for all the CUDDLES! I love attention, love and snuggles. You might have noticed that I only have three legs. Unfortunately I was hit by a vehicle two years ago and had to have my leg amputated, but I am a happy, healthy boy now. Being a tripod does not slow me down! I still love my walks, I still like to play ball and I can still hop on the furniture for some top tier cuddles. In my previous home, I successfully lived with older children, dogs and cats.

Meet Sandy a 6 year old 33 pound Shepard mix. Sandy was in a kill shelter in Texas with a injured leg, Project Hope pulled her and when we took her to the vet the x-ray showed she had been shot. Her leg had to be amputated. Sandy is all healed up and being a tripod doesn't slow her down. She loves to run around the yard and when time for a nap she will cuddle up on the couch.
Sandy is a little shy and takes a little time to get to know you, but after that she loves to be with you! She gets along with other dogs and would love a playmate. She gets along with cats, but might try to play with them.

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.

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.

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.

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.

MEET ELLEElle is a sweet, hesitant Great Pyrenees mix who is learning what it means to feel safe in the domestic world. She was originally rescued as a stray alongside her litter of puppies, and while her past may be a mystery, it’s clear that life as a beloved household pet is still very new to her.Elle is nervous and unsure, and she needs a patient, gentle adopter who is willing to let her navigate new experiences at her own pace. She isn’t a dog who will immediately walk into a new home and know exactly what is expected of her. She’ll need kindness, consistency, gentle handling, and someone willing to help build her confidence as she learns that people, routines, and everyday household life can be safe.Her ideal home:• Patient, gentle and willing to give her time to adjust• No other dogs• No children recommended• Cats are unknown• A quieter, predictable home would likely suit her best* Fenced yardElle would greatly benefit from formal in-home training lessons with her new family.

Meet Ahsoka, at only 1 year Ahsoka found herself here at our shelter being dropped off as a stray. She was scared and didn't understand what was going on. Her reaction was to try to scare off shelter staff by growling and lunging but never making contact. As she learned that she was safe and no one was going to harm her she quickly came out of her shell. Now happy to see those she trust every day, she wags her tail in excitement every morning knowing she is loved. Ahsoka is still shy with other dogs and would be more comfortable being the dominant dog and nothing bigger than her as that's intimidating for her.
