Sometimes, asking for help is the most loving thing you can do. ❤️

These little Chihuahuas came to us from an overwhelmed caretaker who loved them and did their best to care for them. But sometimes, even with all of the best intentions and love in the world, a situation can become more than one person can manage. What started as a loving home with just a few dogs, quickly turned into 11 dogs and simply became too much.

After seeing the story of the Pomeranians we helped in a similar situation, their owner reached out to Humane Fort Wayne for assistance and we are so glad they did. We were able to bring 9 of the Chihuahuas into our care, where they will be available for adoption over the next few days, while also helping the owner get the remaining dogs spayed and neutered so they could responsibly keep 2 of their beloved companions.

This is what compassion looks like. It's choosing to ask for help before things become unmanageable. It's meeting people with understanding instead of judgement. This is why Humane Fort Wayne is here, so we can work together to give animals the safe, happy futures they deserve. 🩵

These Chihuahuas were loved. Now, they are ready to find families who will love them for the rest of their lives. Visit our website to see all of our adoptable pets and to fill out your application. 🐾

Ginger is ready for her second chance. 🥹

5-year-old Ginger came to us from another rescue. She likely spent much of her life being used for breeding until she was no longer wanted. While we don't know everything she's been through, one thing is clear: Ginger just wants to be loved

This gentle girl is the biggest sweetheart and is now looking for her forever family. Ginger is what we call a "leaner" and just wants to sit by your side. She walks very closely beside your legs, clings to her humans, and lives for pets. 💕

Ginger can be shy at first, but warms up with affection. She walks well on a leash and coexists with other calmer dogs.

Her future family should also be prepared to maintain a good relationship with a primary veterinarian. Ginger does have some masses and a heart murmur that will need monitoring. Our team took her in for a cardiology consult at NIVES and the good news is that she doesn't need any medications at this time! She will need a follow-up there in about 6 months.

But we're convinced that her heart-melting eyes and loving demeanor will make it all worth it!

Do you have love in your heart for this affectionate, older lab? Please SHARE or come meet Ginger at our shelter tomorrow! 🖤

Ready to add a little Sparkle to your life? ✨

Sparkle is a 3-month-old Pit mix who's happiest being held close and showered with affection. She's ready to light up your life and snuggle her way right into your heart! 🩷

The one thing we all can agree on is that puppies are adorable, but puppies need structure and training. When you adopt a puppy from Humane FW, you'll receive two group setting puppy training classes that will teach you basic puppy manners. This will give you and your new best friend a head start on bonding. 🐾

If you are ready to give Sparkle✨, or any of our other adoptables a chance to shine, fill out an adoption application on our website today!
