Fonzi

Breed Chocolate Labrador
Gender Male
Age 6 months
Adoption fee $250.00
Fonzi has been looking for someone for a long time. We don’t know exactly where he came from, only that one day he was left behind—and he didn’t understand why. Witnesses say this sweet chocolate-brown puppy ran after every passing car, tiny paws pounding against the pavement, eyes full of hope. He thought one of them might be his person coming back. He kept chasing, kept searching, because that’s what loyal hearts do… they don’t give up. But eventually, Fonzi grew tired. When he was finally brought to safety, he didn’t bark or growl or shy away. He just leaned in. As if to say, “Oh… there you are. I’ve been waiting.” Fonzi is everything you want in a best friend—gentle, affectionate, and so incredibly loving it almost aches. He has the softest eyes, the kind that seem to ask for nothing but closeness. He’ll rest his head on your knee like it’s always belonged there, and when you pet him, his whole body melts like he’s been holding onto that moment forever. He still watches cars sometimes. Just for a second. Then he looks back at you, as if he’s learning something new—that maybe the person he’s been searching for isn’t out there anymore. Maybe… it’s you. Fonzi deserves a home where he’ll never be left behind again. A home where “forever” isn’t just a word, but a promise kept every single day. He doesn’t need perfection—just someone who will stay. If you have room in your heart for a puppy who has loved and lost but still believes, Fonzi is waiting. And this time, he’s hoping the search finally ends. Fonzi is neutered, microchipped, and current on vaccinations and flea/tick/heartworm preventative. He is a smart boy who is eager to please, and is working on mastering housebreaking in his foster home.

Monty may be small, but his story—and his spirit—are anything but. This adorable little white Staffordshire Terrier mix was found as a stray, thin and struggling, with no one to call his own. It’s clear he didn’t have the easiest start in life—but with a full belly, a safe place to rest, and people who care, Monty has absolutely blossomed.

Monty loves to explore the world around him, whether that’s chasing after toys, discovering new smells, or soaking up every bit of attention he can get. He’s got that perfect puppy mix of playful energy and sweet affection—one minute he’s zooming around, the next he’s snuggling up close like he’s always belonged there. Monty is still learning about the world, which means he’s looking for a home ready to guide him with patience, love, and plenty of positive reinforcement. In return, he promises a lifetime of loyalty, laughter, and unconditional love. After being overlooked and underfed, Monty is more than ready for his fresh start. All he needs now is someone to show him that he’ll never have to wonder where his next meal—or his next cuddle—is coming from.

Norman

Breed Collie
Gender Male
Age 2 Years
Adoption fee $150.00
Meet Norman, a 2-year-old standard collie. Norman is a dog's dog and prefers the company of other dogs over people. He is a very reserved dog who will take some time to win over. He is never aggressive towards people or other dogs, but is extremely reserved, and new people or things take him time to warm up to. He requires a home with a fenced yard, as he has previously escaped being out on just a lead. He is the sweetest boy, but would prefer to be a homebody; going out and about isn't his thing. His ideal home would be a calm, quiet home with older children and other dogs. Norman is neutered, vaccinated, started on prevention, and microchipped. To view more pictures, visit Norman's petfinder page at https://www.petfinder.com/dog/norman-0b324855-29a1-41e0-b7d7-ab42fca476e1/in/fort-wayne/wags-and-wiggles-rescue-in724/details/

At first, he may hang back and observe from a safe distance - but once he decides you're trustworthy, you'll get to see his silly side shine! Polo loves a good routine. Knowing what to expect helps him feel confident, and he thrives in a calm, predictable home. Give him a comfy crate to call his den, a steady schedule, and a little patience, and he will reward you with quiet devotion. And here's the best part!

Ricky

Breed Pitbull mix
Gender Male
Age 10 weeks
Adoption fee $300.00
Ricky has a look you’ll never forget—and a story you’ll wish you could rewrite. This black-and-white pitbull mix puppy spent the start of his life outside, tucked into a worn plastic dog house, doing his best to stay warm, safe, and hopeful. While other puppies were learning about couches and cuddles, Ricky was learning how to make do. And somehow, through it all, he kept his sweetness. Now that he’s in rescue, Ricky is discovering the world he always deserved—and it turns out, he loves it. He’s the perfect mix of goofy and gentle, with one ear that stands straight up like it’s always on alert, and the other that flops over like he just can’t take life too seriously. It’s basically a built-in mood indicator: part curious adventurer, part snuggly baby. Ricky is still figuring things out—like how soft blankets can be, how fun toys are, and how amazing it feels to be loved on—but he approaches everything with a wagging tail and an open heart. He doesn’t dwell on his past; he’s too busy soaking up every bit of kindness he can find. What he needs now is a home that will keep showing him what it means to belong. Someone patient, kind, and ready to watch him grow into the confident, happy dog he’s meant to be. Someone who will make sure he never has to wonder where he sleeps at night again. Ricky has already proven he can get through a tough beginning. Now he’s ready for the easy part—the part where he gets to be your dog. One ear up, one ear down, and a whole lot of love in between.

Every day is an adventure in Sheeba’s eyes, whether she’s exploring the yard, investigating new smells, or just watching the world go by with bright, interested eyes.

Spencer

Breed Pitbull mix
Gender Male
Age 8 months
Adoption fee $200.00
Hi! I’m Spencer 🐶 I’m a big, goofy pit bull mix with a lot of love to give. I had a rough start and was found outside in the freezing cold, so I might be a little shy when we first meet. Just give me a minute—I promise I’m worth the wait. Once I warm up, my true self comes out: playful, silly, and very enthusiastic about toys. Stuffed toys especially don’t stand a chance with me. I love to play hard, make you laugh, and show off my goofy side. I’m looking for a patient, kind human who understands that trust takes time and who’s ready for a loyal buddy once I feel safe. If you’ve got room in your heart for a big ol' loveable beast, I think we could be best friends. Come meet me—I can’t wait to play with you 💙🐾 I do prefer a household with no kiddos or older teens, pending a meet and greet. Younger kids are a little too unpredictable for me. Oh! I'm also neutered, microchipped, and current on vaccines and flea/tick/heartworm meds.

Zelda

Breed Miniature Pinscher mix
Gender Female
Age 7 years
Adoption fee $150.00
Zelda has already lived a story most dogs should never have to tell—and yet, she’s nothing but gentle, loving, and ready for her next chapter. This sweet, grey-faced Miniature Pinscher was first spotted darting across busy roads, bravely navigating a world that clearly hadn’t been kind to her. Thankfully, a couple of good Samaritans stepped in and guided her to safety inside their garage. Once she realized she was safe, Zelda did something that says everything about her heart—she curled up in a simple cardboard box and fell fast asleep, as if she’d finally found a moment of peace. Since arriving at our rescue, Zelda has shown everyone exactly who she is: a soft soul with a quiet strength. She may be a little older, but that just means she comes with wisdom, patience, and an even deeper appreciation for comfort and companionship. She loves cozy spaces, gentle voices, and the reassuring presence of someone who cares. Zelda isn’t looking for chaos or adventure—she’s looking for a safe place to rest her head, a warm lap, and a person to love her for the rest of her days. After everything she’s been through, she deserves a home where she’ll never have to run scared again. If you’re the kind of person who believes the best hearts are often the ones that have endured the most, Zelda is waiting to meet you. She will be spayed prior to adoption, and is microchipped and current on vaccines and flea/tick/heartworm prevention.
