My story

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

Meet Myrtle
10 year old pittie with a heart as big as her soulful eyes and a personality as cozy as a warm blanket on a winter evening.Myrtle is a gentle, sweet-natured lady who knows exactly who she is and what she loves: soft beds, calm voices, and people who move through life at her comfortable, unhurried pace. She’s happily set in her ways, and those ways are pretty perfect—slow strolls, long naps, and soaking up every bit of affection offered her. Myrtle doesn’t ask for much, just a safe place to land and someone to love with her whole heart.
This lovely girl has clearly mastered the art of being a wonderful companion. She’s polite, easygoing, and happiest when she’s near her people, quietly keeping them company. Myrtle has that special senior-dog magic: she makes a house feel like a home simply by being in it. Her presence is calming, her affection sincere, and her gratitude for kindness shines through in every gentle tail wag.
With Christmas right around the corner, Myrtle is dreaming of a cozy home where she can spend her golden years—maybe curled up by the tree, snoozing through holiday movies, or enjoying a peaceful winter morning with her forever family.
She’s not looking for excitement; she’s looking for belonging.
If you’ve been wishing for a loyal, loving companion who will cherish every day with you, Myrtle is ready to fill your home with warmth, sweetness, and unconditional love. All she wants for Christmas is a family of her own.

If you are interested in adopting me or another homeless pet at Macomb County Animal Control, walk-in adoption hours are Monday-Friday from 10am-4pm.
