Foster or Adopt one of us! 🐾
Tink
Dusse
Tink is available to foster or adopt through NAWS.
Below is a little story about Tink.
Tink is a dog who came to Naws in 2023 as an 8 week only puppy. She was neurologic, and sick. Fast forward, she grew up to be a happy healthy girl despite her incontinence. She was adopted by her foster family. Recently, Tink had to be returned to Naws at no fault of her own. She has been spending tine in one of our amazing foster homes, who is only able to keep her until this Tuesday 3/17.
Our hearts are completely broken for Tink. She is shut down at Naws, and does the best in the home setting. Her current foster mom says her needs aren’t so bad now that she’s gotten the hang of it. She wears diapers - but gets around great, plays, etc. like any normal dog. Naws provides all supplies needed to care for Tink.
Tink has lived with other dogs and cats, but does require slow introductions to other dogs. She does well with children. With time, patience and love, this girl could fit into any home.
If you can foster or have questions about Tink, please email Victoria at Victoria@nawsus.org.
Can’t foster? Please share and spread the word about Tink. It would mean the world to her.❤️NAWS Family, we are sharing Tink’s story again in hopes of a miracle for her…😔

Divina
Shallow
Davina is currently up for adoption at Fetching Tails Foundation.
Divina has been with us for two years. This sweet girl has been through SO much in her 5 years of life - she was hit by a car in Texas, and her pelvis and hip were severely fractured and left her with nerve damage. Because of this accident, she's somewhat incontinent. With routine and a devoted foster home, she's done so well these last two years and just needs a special family to take a chance on her. Divina will thank you with endless love, kisses, snuggles, and a walking companion. She is great with other dogs and everyone she meets... she just needs that special someone to say yes and give her a chance.
If you're interested in learning more about Divina, we would love to hear from you. She's a special lady, and she deserves to find her forever! 🏠

Aurora
Aurora is currently being cared for at Animal Protection League in Andersonville Indiana
Sweet Aurora has been patiently waiting for a quiet, loving home since arriving at our shelter as a stray in January—during the bitter cold. From day one, she has been overwhelmed and scared, and despite our best efforts, the loud, busy shelter is still too much for her.
Aurora needs a soft place to land. She crouches and moves cautiously through the kennels, always looking worried. She doesn’t understand that she’s safe, and the stress of shelter life is keeping her from truly relaxing.
🏡 Aurora’s perfect home:
🐾 A calm, patient adopter who will give her time to warm up
🐾 Once she trusts you, she’ll be all about belly rubs and attention
🐾 Prefers peaceful, easygoing dog friends—loud, barky dogs scare her
🐾 Needs a home without small dogs, cats, or children
🐾 Likely to blossom in a quiet, loving environment where she can de-stress
Aurora deserves to feel safe and loved. If you can foster or adopt, please reach out today. Let’s get this sweet girl out of the shelter and into a home where she can finally breathe easy. ❤️ #FosterNeeded #AdoptAurora #GiveHerHopeAurora Needs a Foster or Adopter—She’s Over Shelter Life 💔
Roscoe
This d o double G is available Through Traveling Tails Dog Rescue
Roscoe was found by our partner Bahrain Animal Rescue Center in Bahrain with a surgical amputation. We have no idea what happened. He was living with small kids and other dogs at one point and he’s a super sweet boy. Roscoe can be flown to the US once we have a foster or adopter secured. He’s living in the shelter now and does great with other dogs of al sizes there.
Roscoe is:
🌴 3 years 8 months old
🌴 Good with dogs and kids
🌴 Will be cat tested soon
🌴 Happy go lucky
🌴 Neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped
Please tag and share or apply to foster or adopt at www.ttdr.org Thank you 🙏
Tito
This dog is available at Famous Fido Rescue
Tito’s journey has been one of unimaginable heartbreak and incredible resilience. This sweet Lhasa mix came to Famous Fido Rescue after enduring severe trauma - rescued from a locked trunk. The experience left Tito with trust issues, and while he has made remarkable progress in learning to let people into his circle of trust, his heart still longs for a home where he can finally feel safe and loved.
Tito has been with us for several years, and while we cherish him deeply, we know he deserves a life beyond the rescue - a home filled with patience, understanding, and care. Tito is very anxious and would thrive best in an adult-only home without kids. However, he absolutely adores the company of other dogs and would make a fantastic companion for your furry friend.
We believe there’s someone out there with a heart big enough to match Tito’s. Someone patient, kind, and willing to take the time to show Tito the world isn’t as scary as he remembers.
Interested in adopting? Please apply on our website: https://famousfidorescue.org/dog-adoption-application
Can’t adopt but want to help? Donations make a huge difference in providing Tito and other animals with the care and support they need: https://famousfidorescue.org/donate
Let’s help Tito find the loving home he’s been waiting for all these years. Together, we can give him the happy ending he so deserves.

Monty would like to share the exciting news that he has been officially promoted to the NAWS Branch Manager! 🏆 This Title comes with the GREAT responsibility, and we have full faith in Monty. Monty’s day to day tasks include but are not limited to the following:

All jokes aside, our Monty is the absolute bestest pup around. Monty is a 2 year old Pittie mix. He is very well loved at NAWS, but needs a family of his own. Monty is full of personality, he keeps us laughing and on our toes with his branch collecting antics. His favorite activity is going on walks and spending time with his people. He also enjoys agility from time to time! Monty does well with everyone, loves people and children. He tolerates being around other dogs - and would need a slow introduction to any other pups in the home as he can be particular. Monty does mind kitties. He would make the perfect addition to any family. If you are in need of your own personal Branch Manager, please consider adopting Monty. ❤️

Kalipso
Kalipso
Kalypso is at Wags 2 Wishes in Plainfield IL.
Poor Kalipso was so excited for a meet today... she waited in the play area and put on bunny ears so she was extra cute when they arrived.
And they canceled on her. 😢
Honestly putting her back in the kennel that she hates tonight was hard.
Help us...help Kalipso.
Submit your application and watch your email for Wags communication.
* dog meets welcome
*Due to her past experiences, being left alone is scary for her right now, and she’s still learning that she’ll never be abandoned again. She’s looking for a patient, understanding person or family — with someone who’s home most of the time and willing to help her feel safe and secure.

Gunner
Gunner is available Through Animal Protection League out of Anderson, Indiana.
Gunner, at only 11 months old, is struggling to hold on. Life behind bars is too much for him to handle, he was never meant to live his life like this. His sister was saved, she got out. Gunner is praying for the same.
Every time I walk by his kennel, this is what he does. He reaches out for someone, anyone, to see him.
Gunner is a smaller guy, weighing in at only 40lbs. He is HW(-), tested well with dogs & curious about cats. He’s smart, energetic & fun.
Please save Gunner.
Gunner is available for foster, adoption, or rescue through The Animal Protection League Inc., Indiana.
Ruffles
Ruffles is currently at the City of Aurora IL. Animal Control.
🍗 He is a foody and WILL steal your food right out of your hands
💧 He is not quite potty trained yet, he will need some extra structure to learn
💃 He is a busy body and likes to jump
💥 Brooms? MORTAL enemies. Not really, but they are fun to chase
Deal breakers? Not in our opinion. Ruffles is quite young and still needs some guidance. We have no doubt that, after some decompression, he will pass the class with flying colors.
Could you be Ruffles new best friend? Stop by the shelter to meet him! During our adoption special, his fee is only $50!
Even more Dogs you can adopt! 🐾
