Story
Ah, greetings. The name’s Alchemy.Yeah, yeah, I know—I’ve got the looks. Sleek black coat, amber eyes that’ll stop you in your tracks. But let me tell you, I’m more than just a pretty face. I’ve been hanging out here at FDHS for months now, ever since I came in as a “stray.” My old family? Never showed up for me. But it’s fine—I’m not one to dwell on the past.Here’s the deal: I’m a bit rough around the edges, but I’ve got a heart of gold for the right person. Cats? Nope. Squirrels? Double nope. Other dogs? Ehh, I’m picky—it’s nothing personal. I’m just a guy who knows what he likes. Kids? Let’s keep it to the older crowd or none at all. I’m a strong dude and don’t always know my own strength, so you’ll want a harness for walks. Trust me, I look good in it.Meeting new people? I take it slow. But once you’re in my circle, you’re in for life. I thrive on positive vibes—treats, kind words, and a little patience go a long way with me. I’m not perfect, but hey, who is? I’ve got a lot of love to give if you’re willing to give me a chance.So, what do you say? Are you the kind of person who can handle a dog like me? If you are, I promise I’ll make it worth your while. 🐾**Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs about 70 lbs**

Story
Meet Watson, a sweet Boxer mix who’s ready to find his forever home.Watson came to FDHS several weeks ago as a stray, and unfortunately, he was never reclaimed. Since then, he’s been feeling a little out of place in the shelter, as the noise and chaos of the kennel environment make him anxious. What he really wants is a cozy spot to call his own and someone to be his cuddle buddy.This lovable guy is still very much a puppy at heart—he loves to go on walks and explore the world with a friend by his side. A quiet stroll away from the hustle and bustle of the kennels is just what he needs to feel at ease. Watson has plenty of energy and enthusiasm, but he could use some guidance on how to play gently. He’d thrive in a home with another dog who can match his play level, and he would likely do well with cats too.Watson may be a little unsure right now, but with the right person, he’ll show you just how sweet and loyal he can be. If you’re looking for a playful, loving companion who will always be by your side, Watson is your guy. Apply today to meet this sweet boy and give him the forever home he deserves!**Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention**

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Mori was found as a stray by me and my girlfriend who took him to a shelter and decided to take him home after going through the adoption fee. He was estimated about 5-6 months old in November of 2023 so he is nearing 2 years old in the next few months. He was spayed and given shots at the time of adoption but they are not up to date. He is a beautiful dog. Very playful, energetic, loving, curious, and loyal. Since we adopted him our schedules have become more full and I do not feel he is getting the amount of attention he deserves. We also are planning a move that unfortunately will not be able to allow Mori. I just want someplace that he will be able to be a dog, have space to roam, be given plenty of attention and love. I simply want him to have a happy life. He will come with a kennel, leash and harness. He has a habit of chewing that needs to be worked out. Just needs a sturdy toy and some training. He is smart but I’m not the best trainer. I believe he can learn quick!

Koda is just a teddy bear and cuddler once he is settled with you.*Koda understands correction and learns quickly. *Koda is potty trained.  He does walk on a leash but pulls.*He will require a fenced yard and would not do well in an apartment setting.*Koda has been around kids- he was curious and polite but we encourage supervised introductions.*Koda does well with other dogs and it would benefit him to have one in the home.*This big guy needs a family that will take the time to be patient with him and be willing to work with him.*Koda may take extra time to warm up to men rather than women.*Please understand, in the 'Meet and Greet' times we set up, Koda may not be fully acclimated to someone in that 30 minute to 1 hour time.  He will need a family willing to adopt him, take him home, and allow him to fully integrate into the family and become comfortable with all members.*Ruff House in Fort Wayne has offered free training and some doggie daycare days to Koda's adopter.*Once he is acclimated to a new home, Koda will no doubt be loyal and affectionate with his new family!*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.
