We are a no kill rescue in the Fort Wayne, IN area that is striving to rescue as many pets as we possibly can and place them in forever homes! Not having a physical building for our pet rescue has not slowed us down in the least!! All of our adorable adoptables are in wonderful foster homes throughout our area, where we love, care for and house stray pets and pets doomed at kill shelters, until we can find them forever homes. Our ultimate goal is: No More Homeless Pets!
Who is Perfect Paws Pet Rescue?
Perfect Paws Pet Rescue is dedicated animal lovers who are trying to make a difference ...
Tammy Derickson Hi, I am Tammy and like most people involved in rescue, I have been a life long animal lover. There is no animal I don't love. Year ago, I had Labrador Retrievers. They were both obedience and some field training. As my Labs aged and finally crossed the rainbow bridge, I went a different direction. At present I have a 10 year old black toy poodle named Cricket. A 7 year old black miniture poodle named Dash. Dash is totally blind due to a genetic condition called retinal atrophy. Sadly, this is a genetic condition and is most often caused by excessive inbreeding. Last year I rescued an 8 month old black standard poodle. His name is Marley. He was very shy, and scared of everything. Marley will be 2 years old in April. He is a pure joy. Marley has completed two obedience sessions and is currently in agility training. He and I both enjoy agility. Last in my pet menagerie is Gordan, my 18 year old tiger cat adopted from Animal Care and Control. I then decided to form my own pet rescue … and Perfect Paws Pet Rescue was born. Along with our very busy rescue efforts, I achieved my certification as a dog trainer from the Animal Behavior College in August of 2005. I have become the Canine Training Instructor at Petco in Fort Wayne.
