COURTESY POST: Two amazing dogs, who have never been apart, are looking for a home together. Meet Jake and Blake, these neutered male, 6-year-old brothers were adopted together as tiny puppies. Jake weighs 95 lbs and Blake weighs 65 lbs. They've never known a bad day until now. A new family member is highly allergic and so the dogs must find a new forever home. They are fully housetrained. They are good with kids, cats and dogs. Jake and Blake love to take car rides - it's a favorite. Some other favorite activities for them are taking leash walks to the park or around the neighborhood and going to doggie daycare and playtime at Camp Bow Wow - Commerce Township. They are very smart boys, quick learners who know come, stay, sit and down. Because they are people pleasers, Jake and Blake would love to learn tricks and games. They're very good boys who need a home together. Please give them a chance! Adoption fee for the pair: $115. Fee includes testing, deworming, vaccinations, spay/neuter, 60 days of free pet insurance and microchip.
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.
