pent his life with one loving owner — until recently, when she moved into assisted living and had to surrender him to us. Elliot is grieving. He’s quiet, gentle, and deeply sensitive, and he’s trying to make sense of a world that suddenly feels unfamiliar. Now in a foster home in Fort Wayne, Elliot is doing his best. He’s living with another dog, but we’ve learned that unfamiliar dogs make him nervous. He grew up with one canine companion, but new dogs overwhelm him. When he’s unsure or uncomfortable, Elliot quietly removes himself — curling up in a corner or retreating to another room. He’s not reactive. He’s just tender-hearted. Elliot would thrive in a calm, quiet home without other dogs, ideally with a retired adopter who enjoys a slow-paced lifestyle. He does like children, but he can become overwhelmed if they live with him full-time. He loves going for walks, and he is overweight at around 70lbs, however he’s steadily losing weight on his lowcalorie diet. He’s a truly good boy — calm, wellmannered, and full of gentle affection. What Elliot needs most is stability. A soft place to land. A person who will let him grieve, adjust, and rediscover joy at his own pace. He’s not looking for excitement — he’s looking for home. If you’re someone who values peace, companionship, and the quiet loyalty of a dog who just wants to be near you, Elliot might be your heart dog. He is looking for a retired adopter who is still active and loves to take Leisurely walks around the neighborhood. There is no adoption fee; however, we are looking for experienced adopters with a solid veterinary history and references. Please put in an application on our website at .indianasaveadog.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
