Hi! My name is Young Buck! 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 an 11-month-old, neutered male mutt, searching for someone to love for life. Check out my mule deer ears! Aren't I cute? I'm sweet, friendly and playful. I currently weigh about 20 lbs. I passed my temperament test with two other dogs. I'm an active and energetic little guy who loves to romp and run, take walks and go for car rides. Since I am still very young, I need basic obedience training, but because I'm smart and I aim to please, training with me is a lot of fun. I am microchipped and current on my vaccines. I tested negative for heartworm, too. I'm ready to go so apply for me today!

Adoption and Foster Care Application
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.

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.
