My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello! My name is Bijou. I live at the Oakland County Animal Control and Pet Adoption Center at 1700 Brown Rd in Auburn Hills. The shelter will not put me up for adoption because of my appearance, so my only way out of the shelter alive is through a rescue. I'm a darling, 4-year-old, spayed female dog in need of a lifelong, loving home. I weigh about 50 lbs. I am a snuggler. I love affection and companionship. I love other dogs and enjoy playing with them. I passed my temperament test with flying colors, wagging my tail and play bowing. I'm a super sweet girl who wants a good home full of love and cuddling! Please help make my dream come true! I'm spayed, microchipped and current on my vaccines. I tested negative for heartworm too, so I'm ready to go! Apply for me today!

    NOTE ABOUT BREED LABELING: Visual breed identification of dogs is unreliable and usually inaccurate. So, for most of our adoptable dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.

    Why is labeling a dog such a big deal? A label will stick with a dog for the rest of its life. A label can mean discrimination, losing its home or even death. Labels are a problem for the dogs when we, as the local experts on animals, allow adopters, politicians and community members to think that the label we assign can predict who that dog is or will be.

    Examples:

    Adoption Process:
    Complete the application at www.pawsforliferescue.org. We then arrange a location, date and time for you to meet some pets. If the meeting goes well and everyone is happy, you begin the mandatory, minimum two-week adjustment period with the pet as part of your family. You will pay the non-refundable adoption fee at the start of the two-week adjustment period. This pending period allows your new dog or cat time to adjust to their new home, new people, new routine, etc., and for you to decide if it's a match and the right pet for you. At the end of two weeks (some people extend the adjustment time as needed and that's fine too), if everyone is happy, then we finalize the adoption. Feel free to email if you have any questions.
