Story
Hi, I'm Princess. I'm a gentle, young pup who sometimes has an old soul. I love spending time with people. Sometimes I do have my zoomies and young dog energy! When I'm not zooming I just like to snuggle with people. I do need to be the only animal in the home. I prefer not to share a home with other dogs or cats. I would love to work with one of the trainers that All 4 Animal Rescue recommends! I will need someone who can commit to a training plan with one of the recommended trainers so that I can continue to make progress and be as successful as possible in my new home. A home that is low traffic and can give me time to decompress and learn a new routine paired with a training plan is ideal for me. I've been introduced to clicker training and go on decompression walks/hikes at a huge sniffspot and I enjoy it! I can't wait to meet you and start a new journey with my forever family. I hope to see you soon! Born 10/16/2021 - spayed - adoption fee 300 - No kids - No dogs - No cats - house broken   Fill out an application at all4animalsrescue.org ##1681726##

Story
Meet Poppy! This young, sweet pit bull terrier mix is ready to join your pack. She can be shy and a little nervous at first, but once she warms up, she is a total snuggle bug. She is timid around men, but is getting better since spending time in her foster home with a young man (who is now her favorite buddy). Slow integration to new dogs is a must, but once settled in, she does great with other dogs. In fact, she really enjoys playing with her foster families dogs. She has also done very well with young kids but all introductions need to be slow to give Poppy time to adjust to new situations. She is a lover and a snoozer! That alarm clock isn't going to stir her in the morning. So, if you are looking for a partner for a nap or a weekend sleep in, this is your girl. Poppy can't wait to meet you and begin making new memories with you. Born 06/05/2022- adoption price $250- medium-large sized at 60lbs- house broken - good with dogs  - good with kidsFill out an application at all4animalsrescue.org  ##1520156##

Story
Meet Hati! She is a big hearted girl seeking a big hearted friend. This sweet girl has had some rough patches in her life, but is as sweet as can be and looking for someone to give her scratches and love (and some treats). She is a very cuddly lady who enjoys her toys and zooming! She walks very nice on a leash and listens well. She makes the cutest little snort sounds when she is playing or getting petted. If you have a big heart and are looking for someone to dote on, then Hati is your girl.    A note from Hati: I came to All 4 Animals Rescue underweight while also dealing with a pretty bad skin condition. I will need to be on medication for the remainder of my life and a bath a few times a week to help my skin heal and keep it as healthy as possible! I might be a early senior, but I still have so much life to live! I really hope you can give me a shot!   Birthday 01/01/2018 - spayed - adoption fee $250 - cuddle bug - early senior - medicated for life and needs a few baths a week to maintain skin condition - possible arthritis in the rear legs/hips   fill out an application at all4animalsrescue.org ##1938925##

Story
Hero came to us after he was found by a local animal lover with 2 broken legs. This is a nice, friendly boy who is good with people, other dogs & cats. His approx. birth date is 01/01/18 and he currently weighs 41#. We did not see either parent and are guessing at breed based on physical attributes. We had both legs corrected at the price of $7000 and the results were great. The surgeon stated that the legs were broken most likely by a bat and that they were definitely broken at least 2 weeks apart. Someone did very bad things to this nice boy. Hero has been in foster and is House Trained. He has also graduated from basic obedience and is ready to move up to Dog 3 Obedience Class! Hero can be very possessive of his people and can be dog selective. We are recommending his as an only dog in an adult home. He has been vet. checked, neutered, micro chipped, is up to date on routine shots & wormings including rabies, and has been treated with flea & heart worm preventative per our protocol And heart worm tested negative.His adoption donation is $300 and needs to be cash, certified check, money order or a debit/credit card. There is a 3% processing fee when using a debit/credit card. We do not ship or transport.Please email for an application if you would like to provide this nice kid with his forever home. ##580807##

Story
Hi, I'm Scrappy! I'm a 1.5-year-old pitbull mix with a big heart and a playful spirit. I absolutely love toys-they're my favorite! But I'm still learning how to share, so I'd do best as the only dog in the home where I can have all the attention (and toys) to myself. I'm full of energy and ready to find my forever family who can help me keep learning and growing. Let's make some fun memories together!

These pups are in Elkhart, Indiana too!

Story
Meet Maggie (formerly Darla) - a bundle of joy wrapped in fur! Maggie came to us skin and bones, and her original name didn’t quite fit her vibrant personality, so we decided on Magnolia, or Maggie for short. She's around 5 to 7 years old, but don't let that fool you - she has the energy and spirit of a puppy. Maggie's playful antics will keep you laughing for days. She's your typical boxer - a snuggle bug who loves attention and wants to be with you always, though she'll also happily wander off to do her own thing. Despite her initial condition, Maggie has never been destructive and relaxes comfortably when left alone, rotating her sleeping spots. She has a knack for building nests, gently layering beds, rugs, or blankets until they’re just right. Maggie is incredibly sweet and highly motivated by attention, and sometimes food. We supplemented her food with wet food to help her gain weight, and now she has a preference for it over dry food. While she can be transitioned back to dry food, expect a bit of side-eye during the process. The best way to persuade her to do something is to cheer her on; she thrives on knowing she’s making you happy and gets genuinely bummed if she realizes she’s done something wrong. We are still working on leash training and door darting. She understands the concepts but needs consistent practice. Maggie gets along well with other dogs at home, though she does toy-guard, so we haven't put toys out. She doesn’t like any form of aggression, even playful, and has taken on the role of the "fun police." With (a short amount of) time, she warms up to other dogs for snuggles if no humans are available. Outside, she shows interest in other dogs but the interest may just be anxiety. She does not do well with cats due to her high interest, which does not appear to be friendly. Maggie would be fine as the only dog or with other laid-back, non-territorial dogs. She’s a sweetheart who just wants to love and be loved, and she’ll bring endless joy and laughter to her forever home. Maggie did have a mass cell tumor removed and is considered cured but her future adopters will need to keep a close eye to be sure she doesn't have anymore that pop up. Please apply on our website. www.trackingintheshadows.com Her adoption fee is $200 and she has been fully vetted for 1 year. ##2088928##
