PBR DoodleBug's story...
Bug’s foster mom rarely brings a dog home that she falls in love with right away. As a rule, she knows she has to train them and really get to know them first. Her foster mom also prefers male dogs and finds puppy antics trying. Doodle Bug is different. Despite the fact that she is only 9 months old, and a girl, Bug is such little doll that it is almost impossible not to be happy around her. Though playful and funny, she is an intuitive learner who catches on and responds so quickly that training her doesn’t feel like training. Already for her age, she is docile, relaxed and attentive. Also, while most of her foster mom’s pits haven’t understood the concept of fetch, Bug will race out into the yard in a rainstorm to grab the ball and bring it back to the covered porch just to be able to run out there again. Doodle Bug is housetrained, crate trained, and knows sit and stay (mostly). Bug is new to foster. She hasn’t been introduced to her pack yet, but there isn’t an alpha bone in her body, and she has done very well with other dogs in the pound. Her foster mom will cat test her on request. A few words about her breed. Becoming the owner of a pit bull is not a decision to be taken lightly. While they are one of the best and most dutiful breeds out there, they are frequently misunderstood and taken advantage of for their strength and drive to please their owners. For this reason, owning a pit requires extra levels of responsibility and leadership to protect the dog and the reputation of the breed. Bug’s foster parents, for instance, have worked hard to become strong and consistent leaders and to turn their foster dogs into model canine citizens. Becoming the owner of Bug and capitalizing on her potential to be the best dog ever seen in the world will take just as much consistency and responsibility, though less attitude. She does best with a consistent gentle approach, and does not require breed experience, though dog experience is preferred. Bug will be spayed and available in mid-May.

Doodle Bug's adoption fee is $195.00 and includes microchipping.


If you are applying for a bully breed(which Woody may be), please check your city\county\township\state ordinances before applying as we will be checking them also.

Please do not call Vector Control to inquire about adoptions as they are seperate from Pound Buddies.
Foster dogs are already altered, current on vaccines and have been heartworm tested if age appropriate. In order to meet a foster pet, you must have an approved application on file with us. We will then schedule an appointment that is convenient for both you and the Foster Parents.
If you would like more info on this pet please e-mail
doggiebarb@verizon.net and I will give you as much info as I can. All breed ID's, ages and size dogs will reach as adults are estimates and are not
guarentees.

We do accept out of state applications provided you have a vet reference, own your own home, and are willing to drive to Muskegon to meet your pet. We do not ship our pets.

WE DO NOT ADOPT TO FAMILIES WITH UNALTERED PETS. We do require a vet check and if you do not have a past or present vet that we can speak with on how you cared for your pets, then we do require a home visit.

About Our Rescue Group...
We are a 501c non-profit organization. All of our members are volunteers, who share a common love of animals. In October 2003 our local animal shelter announced they would no longer handle adoptions of the homeless animals bought into the shelter. We worked with the county of Muskegon and eventually took over the adoption program for the shelter. Otherwise all animals taken into the shelter would of been euthanized if an owner did not show up to claim them. As part of the agreement with the county we also do the cleaning and feeding of the animals on weekends and holidays.
We also have foster families who take in homeless pets from the shelter to live with them until they can find their forever home.

Come Meet Our Pets...
We work from the main shelter at 1300 E. Keating, Muskegon, MI. We are open to the public for adoptions of shelter dogs on Wednesdays from 5:30pm -7:00pm and Saturdays from 11:00am-1:30pm. We also have adopt-a-days for our dogs in foster care who live with families. Please check the website for additonal information. To schedule a meeting outside of an adopt-a-day for a foster pet, you must first have an approved application. We then set up an appointment for you.
Our Adoption Process...
In order to adopt you must first submit an application. Upon approval of the application we will set up an appointment to meet a foster dog or invite you to the shelter to adopt a shelter dog.
You may obtain an application by visting our website and clicking on the pet's picture page, or e-mailing rwladywolf@verizon.net for an application to be e-mailed to you.
The fee for a shelter dog is a $125.00 pre-paid deposit to your vet ( this deposit is towards the cost of altering the pet .) plus $20.00 to us for microchipping. The cost of adoption for a foster dog is $195.00 - $300.00 since they have already been altered and are up-to-date on vaccines and microchipped.
We require all family members and dogs to meet the dog before adoption. We track the dogs progress for the rest of it's life. We always take our dogs back if something happens and you can no longer keep your dog. This is why we want to make sure it is a perfect fit right from the beginning!

We do adopt out of state but you must own your home and have a vet reference. We do not ship our dogs. You must travel to Muskegon in order to meet them.

We do NOT adopt to homes with unaltered pets. No exceptions.

We Serve the Following Cities, Towns, and/or Counties...
