My story

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

Have you ever found yourself saying “Boxers are like potato chips. You can’t have just one.”? Well, here are your chips, and your chance to make a big difference. Merlin and Sugar Pie are bonded. They’ve been together their entire 7 years, and are looking for that special home to stay together in.



Their story is not quite our usual one – they have journeyed from Florida all the way to Michigan. Previously, they lived on a farm with many other animals, including 2 smaller dogs. Unfortunately, their owner had to have surgery and did not survive. Family could not take them in, and a boarding kennel kept them for as long as they reasonably could. They were getting close to being turned over to a high kill shelter, when a visiting Good Samaritan learned their plight. She brought them all the way home to Michigan with her. Unfortunately, it has not worked out with her resident dogs and some ongoing health issues. We are seeking to help place these two into a new home together.



Merlin and Sugar Pie have solid vet records, from puppies until current day. They are fixed, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. They were very well behaved in the car for the long trip north and are fully house trained. Both walk well on a leash. While they do get the occasional zoomies, they are also known to be snugglers and have done well with the children they’ve encountered. In their previous home, they lived with horses, chickens and even tortoises! 



What this pair needs now is a safe place to permanently land, and a home that is committed to keeping them together. Can you be that home? Lets talk.
