Faith is a 1–2-year-old, 50-pound bully mix who came to FMAR after surviving on her own as a Sumpter stray. One of our dedicated volunteers had been keeping a watchful eye on her for weeks, patiently earning her trust. When Faith finally made her way to safety, it was clear she had a gentle spirit hidden beneath her fear.
At first, Faith was understandably shy—but with time, patience, and kindness, she began to blossom. Now, her sweet and affectionate nature is shining through. She hasn’t been introduced to direct play with other dogs yet, but she’s done wonderfully on group pack walks and in passing interactions, showing calm curiosity. We think she could thrive with a calm, confident canine companion who can help her continue to build trust.
Faith would do best in a quieter home with older children who understand her need for a gentle approach. A fenced-in yard and peaceful daily walks would give her the space and structure to feel safe and loved. She hasn’t been tested with cats just yet, but we’re happy to explore that for the right home.
Once Faith knows you, she’s all about cuddling up on the couch and soaking in the affection she’s missed for so long. She’s still revealing pieces of her personality each day—and we can already tell she’s something special.
Are you the kind, patient person who can help Faith write her next chapter?
If you would like to meet Faith, please submit an application for her on our website https://www.friendsofmichigan.org/adoptable-dogs. She is spayed, up to date on all age appropriate vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, and on monthly flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. Her adoption fee is $250, which covers part of the medical care she will receive.
**Please note that the breed listed for each of our dogs is a rough estimate unless DNA results are provided in their Bio. All strays have rough estimates of their age based on the condition of their teeth.
Each dog is different, so each adoption is different. Our adoption process might require multiple visits to the shelter before our dogs can go home. Or they may be ready on the first visit. It really depends on the individual dog and the potential adopters. Once we receive your application, the Dog Staff will contact you to discuss meeting our dogs.

We are a nonprofit, no-kill animal shelter comprised mostly of volunteers. We take in cats and dogs from local shelters and the public who can no longer care for their pets. Each of the volunteers at FMAR has a tremendous amount of love for animals and simply wants to do what they can to ensure that as many animals as possible find a forever home. Until then, each animal has a home at FMAR indefinitely.
