My story

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

🪖 “Lieutenant Dan! Ice cream!” 🪖
No shrimp boat required — just a couch, some snacks, and a heart ready for unconditional love.
Meet Lieutenant Dan (aka Dan the Man), a 60-lb velvet pillow who has seen some things but still believes life is like a box of chew toys — you never know what you’re gonna get, but it’s probably adorable.
Dan may not run across America, but he walks like a dream on leash, is house-trained, crate-trained, and has officially mastered the art of being a proper Southern gentleman. He’s calm, sweet, and prefers cuddles over chaos. This is not a ping-pong-chasing lifestyle dog. This is a lean back, watch the world go by kind of guy.
When Lieutenant Dan puts his big paws on you, it’s basically his way of saying:
👉 “I may not be a smart man, but I know what love is.”
He’s:
🍦 Friendly with other dogs (slow intros please — Bubba would insist)
🍦 Great with kids
🍦 A champion cuddler and elite people-pleaser
🍦 Unsure about cats (still waiting to meet one… probably would ask their name politely)
Loud noises make him a little nervous, and sometimes he worries he’s in trouble — his past wasn’t kind — but his heart? Pure sunshine. All he wants is to make you proud, love you fiercely, and maybe sit next to you while you tell him he’s a good boy approximately 400 times a day.
Lieutenant Dan is ready for his happy ending, his new mission, and his forever home.
And unlike the movie… this Dan actually does have legs — and they’re great for snuggling.

Additional adoption info

Peace Love and Paws Rescue is an all-volunteer, non-profit, animal welfare organization dedicated to the rescue and placement of stray, neglected and abused animals. Peace Love and Paws Rescue is completely funded through fundraising efforts and public donations. All of our pets are cared for by foster homes and receive complete medical care, which includes worming, vaccinations, spaying/neutering and microchipping prior to their adoption.

This questionnaire is designed to help Peace Love and Paws Rescue determine if a specific dog is the right match for you and your household. All adopting and fostering parties are required to complete this form prior to adoption. Peace Love and Paws Rescue reserves the right to deny any adoption or fostering based on answers to this questionnaire and/or interviews prior to adoptions and placing foster homes!

More about this rescue

We are three passionate, animal loving dog moms who met through various volunteer efforts at local rescues in the Detroit area. We continued talking outside of volunteering and quickly came to realize that we all had similar goals, to help as many animals in need that we possibly could. In the Detroit area, there are so many animals who need homes, medical attention, and love.

We decided that we wanted to be able to do more to help these animals. We are raising funds through selling merchandise, fundraising, donations, and supporting local community events. All funds raised will be used to establish a nonprofit status, fund the medical needs of local dogs, and find shelter animals their furever home.

Follow us on our journey to create a rescue that provides animals the love and care they need while they find their home. We will post updates on our social media of the dogs we are able to help and how your support made a difference.
