Tiger Shark - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Fort Wayne, Indiana

Meet Tiger Shark
The shelter's Bark Week legend in the making... currently starring in the critically acclaimed series "I Would Like To Socialize But Also I Would Like To Not Perish From Perceived Awkwardness."

Give her time, give her a dog buddy, and she'll go from "mysterious shadow creature avoiding perception" to full Bark Week breakout personality.

The one thing we all can agree on is that puppies are adorable. They're ready to give you unconditional love and all the snuggles your heart can handle.

When you adopt 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.
