Pit Bull Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Fort Wayne, Indiana

PLEASE NOTE: call shelter to schedule a meet & greet with me!

Meet DJ Tanner - a gentle giant with a Full House heart and a world that sometimes feels just a little too big.

Named after a family full of love, laughter, and second chances, DJ is still waiting for her own "forever sit-com ending." But right now, life feels more like a quiet episode where she's learning how to trust the next scene.

DJ is very shy-the kind of dog who would prefer to observe the world from a safe distance before deciding if she wants to be part of it. Leash walking is still a work in progress, and busy environments can feel overwhelming, so she'll need extra patience, understanding, and a calm hand to guide her.

But behind all that hesitation is a soft, sweet soul who wants to feel safe more than anything. She doesn't rush love-but when she begins to trust, it's deep, honest, and quietly beautiful.

DJ isn't the "instant best friend" type. She's the "slowly becomes your heart" kind.

With time, consistency, and a whole lot of TLC, this shy girl could finally get the Full House she's been waiting for
