My story

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

Meet Mitosis—aka Otis!
Otis is a 2-year-old, 115-lb large-breed mix who is equal parts strong, playful, and snuggly. This big sweetheart LOVES his toys, is a total fetch master, and enjoys tug-of-war sessions with his medium-sized canine foster sister (an SMS alum!). After he’s had his fun, Otis is happiest curling up with his people and foster sibling for some good cuddle time.

Smart and eager to please, Otis already knows several commands and is excited to keep learning with his future family. He gets along well with medium to large dogs. Cats may be okay, but any adopter with cats will need to do slow, structured introductions and keep a close eye on interactions. Due to his size and strength, Otis will do best with a family experienced with large dogs—one that can provide structure, consistent training, and plenty of activity.

Why Otis is amazing:

🦴 Big, strong & incredibly lovable
🎾 Fetch master & tug-of-war champ
🤗 A true cuddle bug
🐶 Dog-friendly (may overwhelm small dogs)
🚫 Likely too much for cats and small children
🎓 Knows multiple commands & eager to learn
🩺 Fully vetted and ready for adoption

Otis is searching for a family who’s ready for both playtime and snuggle time—and who understands the needs of a big, powerful dog. If you’re looking for an active, goofy, loyal, and affectionate best friend, Otis just might be your perfect match! 🐾

Additional adoption info

We do not use a first-come, first-serve process when adopting out our animals. Instead, we focus on best fit for each individual animal. The process is intended to ensure a long-term successful adoption for both the family and pet.

​All of our adoptable animals have had a complete veterinarian checkup. Our dogs and puppies are heartworm tested. All of our animals are spayed/neutered, dewormed, and have received age-appropriate vaccines before going to their forever homes.

Feline adoption fees - $125 for kittens under 8 months, $100 if over 8 months, and $60 if over 9 years old.

Canine adoption fees - $350 for puppies under 1 year, $300 if over 1 year, and $200 if over 7 years old.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We are 100% foster based so all our animals are in homes. Once an application is approved, the foster will contact the potential adopter to set up a meet and greet.

We also have adoption events the first & third Saturday of the month, form 12pm-2pm, at the PetSmart store on Telegraph in Monroe Michigan
