Dexter's Story

I'm Dexter and I was found as a stray. I'm estimated to be about a year old so I'm still very much a puppy! I was very thin when I was found but since coming to the shelter I have started to put on some weight with regular meals. I am a happy boy who has a typical hound bark. I love dog friends! I could play all day so if you have a dog probably one who like to play just as much as I do will be best. An older dog would most likely get tired of my energy quickly. I meet a cat here and at first I couldn't figure it out but when I did I defiantly wanted to see if it would run and when it didn't I did my typical hound bark but the cat still didn't want to be my friend. I would for sure chase a cat if given the chance! Speaking of my bark I have a loud one. If you love the sound of my breed then you will defiantly love my sound! I am such a lover boy as well. I love to be loved on and have a very loving playful personality. I would make a great addition to most homes but probably not apartment living, a country home would do best so that your neighbors don't have to hear 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!

Animal Welfare League of Kosciusko County's Adoption Policy

Out of county adopters are also welcomed. -------------------------------------------------------- The procedure for adopting one of our animals is as follows: You walk in, either by appointment or as a walk-in, and our adoption tech will take you to meet the pets. If any of the animals interest you, you can take them out of their cages and spend time with them in a cuddle room or take a walk outside with them (for dogs). Our staff will then answer any questions you may have, explain our trial adoption process to you (explained below) and help you decide if this pet is the perfect fit for your family! If you are adopting a dog and there is another dog in your home, we ask you to come back for an assisted meet and greet with your current pet! You then sign our contract and staff will approve of it before asking for your ID and method of payment. Once we have all of the information we need, you can take your pet home! It's that easy! We try to make the adoption process simple and enjoyable for you and your new pet. Please come in for a visit and give us a try! Trial Adoption: We highly recommend our trial adoption program where you pay for the pet up front (there is no extra fee for the trial) and then take it home for about 5-7 days (we are flexible with this) to see how it fits in with your lifestyle and other pets in the home. If everything works out, great, just call us and let us know you want to finalize and that is when you receive the microchip number and medical papers as well as a goody bag! If it doesn't work out, you bring the pet back and you will receive a full refund. Nursery Nanny Program: We also offer a nursery nanny program for our kittens! If you find one you like, you can take it home the same day even if it is not spayed/neutered yet. We ask that you bring it back for the kitten's spay/neuter date and if it needs to return for any vaccinations! We don't finalize the adoption until the kitten has been spayed/neutered and caught up on vaccines. ADOPTION FEES: $180 for puppies under 9 months, $150 for dogs up to 5 years, $75 for senior dogs, $105 for kittens under 9 months, $95 for adult cats up to 5 years and $65 for senior cats. Fees include: spay/neuter, microchip & registration, vaccines for the year, including the rabies vaccine, and flea & tick and heartworm preventatives
