Story
Hello, I'm Flash, a young and energetic pup with a heart full of hope and a mind full of potential! I'm a friendly and social guy who just adores the company of people. I am about a year old and 41 pounds of love. With my keen intelligence, I'm always up for a good mental challenge, and I find great joy in tasks and activities that keep my mind active and engaged. In my downtime, I love nothing more than forming deep connections with my favorite people. I'm an extremely affectionate boy who thrives on leadership and direction. I'm also sensitive and responsive to my surroundings, taking cues from those around me to guide my actions. An ideal day for me includes a good hike with a purpose—perhaps with a backpack to carry some gear? I love feeling useful and part of a team! I'm always eager to please and ready for adventures, big or small. I'm looking for a special family who understands the unique traits and needs of my herding breed. I just love other dogs, so if there is another friendly pup in the home, I would love to meet them. My best friend here at the rescue is Alistair, we have so much fun together. I have a very balanced play style and can let other dogs take the lead, I seem to be very tolerant of other dog's shenanigans! A home with active individuals who can provide me with the mental stimulation and physical exercise I thrive on would be perfect and where any children are at least 13 years old. In return, I promise to be your loyal companion, offering endless love and fun adventures. With my boundless enthusiasm and devotion, I know I can be the paw-some addition to your life that you've been waiting for. I would love it if you came to meet me, I think I am the perfect blend of fun and affection and I can't wait for a family to love. **Flash has been chosen for an exciting adventure, The Lodge for Pampered Pets in Metamora works with a few rescues in the area, with K9 Stray Rescue being one of them. They have a Stay and Play Program, where a rescue dog gets to go there for the day for a few weeks and play all day with the other dogs attending doggy daycare, and they even sometimes have sleepovers. The pups are pampered by the employees with enrichment, spa days and love. Flash passed his temperament test with flying colors and loves going there, he has been having so much fun. He absolutely loves other dogs and has a blast playing all day with them. Flash would make a great second dog for a family with another silly pup.** If you are interested in Flash and are at least 21 years old, please come to our kennel during business hours, make an appointment, or fill out an application at k9stray.com and an adoption counselor will be in touch. We look forward to helping you find your new best friend! *Please check your lease agreements for breed/weight restrictions prior to applying. We also do not do cat testing, so we do not know how a dog will do with cats. Not all dogs are available to go home on the same day you first meet.*

Meet Pythagoras! SEE STRAYCATION UPDATE BELOW! NEEDS FULL-TIME FOSTER! This 50-pound border collie/husky mix is five years old and is as wonderful as they come! You don't have to be a math whiz to realize how special this boy is! Pythagoras is back at the kennel after enjoying some much needed time away in a foster home. We we are excited to share all we've learned about this amazing boy. House-trained & crate-trained, he aims to please! Pythagoras lived with a feline friend and he may have the capacity to live with a dog-savvy cat that can hold their own. He loves other dogs and we feel another playful pup in the home would be best for him. A canine companion that can provide an outlet for his energy would be a dream for this dynamic dude. Handsome and attentive, this boy is the whole package. Pythagoras enjoys his time outdoors where you can witness his curious, playful side. A large, fenced-in yard where he can run is a must for him. He rides well in the car, is good on leash, and is ready to hit the town with you! Check out his outing video! Pythagoras will make an excellent travel pal and hiking buddy! Pythagoras already knows how to sit and is a fan of all sorts of treats. He knows a few different commands and is highly trainable. Pythogoras loves all sorts of toys and would benefit from food puzzles and other toys providing mental stimulation. Keeping him engaged is key to keeping him a happy boy! His foster family had no issues taking food or toys away. Of course Pythagoras also has a sensitive side and loves to be close to his people. You'll often find him nuzzled up on a comfy chair next to his people where he proceeds to give the best kisses! He'll never pass up a belly rub and is a very connecting boy. He also does well in the bath. Pythagoras with thrive in an active home with lots of daily exercise, continued training with boundaries, and a yard to enjoy. Border collie experience is required. At the end of the day, he sleeps quietly through the night and will curl up with you in bed if allowed. Based on our evaluation, we feel Pythagoras would do best in an active home with adults or families with kids ages 16 and up. Another social dog in the home is required and we are happy to do a meet and greet with your family fur baby. If you think he could be the pup for you, head to greatlakesdogrescue.com today and submit your application for our playful Pythagoras!

** CURRENTLY IN A LOVING FOSTER HOME, PLEASE SUBMIT AN ADOPTION APPLICATION IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN MEETING ME!! ** 💛🐾 MEET ARI 🐾💛 Sweet Ari… a dog who has already overcome so much, and one of the most deeply loving souls you will ever meet. When Ari first arrived, she was absolutely terrified. You couldn’t approach her, you couldn’t sit near her, the world felt too big, too scary, too unknown. But with patience, kindness, and time… everything changed. Within just a few weeks, this same scared girl was sleeping in bed, soaking up belly rubs, and learning what it truly means to feel safe and loved. 🌿 HER BEAUTIFUL TRANSFORMATION Ari is naturally a shy, sensitive dog, but when she feels secure, her personality blooms. 💛 Playful with her dog friends 💛 Loves running freely in the yard 💛 Adores walks and outdoor adventures 💛 A total cuddle bug when it’s time to relax She has discovered joy. She has discovered comfort. And most importantly… she has discovered trust. 🐾 WHAT ARI NEEDS TO THRIVE Ari’s next home must be one that understands her heart. ✔️ A securely fenced yard is REQUIRED for her safety and confidence ✔️ Another playful, confident dog is REQUIRED, she truly blossoms with a canine companion ✔️ A quiet, low-traffic home ✔️ No children ✔️ An experienced adopter who understands fearful or shy dogs Ari bonds deeply, but she needs the space to do it on her terms.

Someone who will: • Let her come to them • Celebrate her small wins • Give her consistency, safety, and love In return? You’ll get a loyal shadow, a snuggle partner, and a dog who will choose you, fully and forever. 🌅 THE LIFE SHE DESERVES Ari deserves slow mornings, sunny afternoons in the yard, playful moments with her dog friend, and peaceful nights curled up beside her person.

Story
Meet Mamacita! This amazing baby is a female Border Collie mix who was born around 7/01/20. She weighs in at 48 pounds full of love and affection. She’s current on her vaccines and is being treated for heartworms on slow kill method by The Artemis Project, who will continue to provide the medications for the duration of my treatment even if you adopt me so please don’t let that stop you! This beautiful lady has a great personality! She's gentle, a little shy, and quietly hoping for someone to notice her. She's simply looking for a home where she’ll be loved and treated like a member of the family. She’s gonna make some lucky family the bestest companion, full of love and loyalty. She is great with other dogs as well as kids... and she even gets along with cats!! Her foster family says this: "She's great! Potty trained knows commands and just all around happy. Loves to cuddle. This little girl will be your BEST buddy! Mamacita loves to be in the same room, and she will snuggle if you ask for it, but otherwise does her own thing. She LOVES to "talk" - she "talks" to the younger doggos, "talks" to the TV, and "talks" to us sometimes. She thinks cats could be a lot of fun, until they tell her NO. She has made friends with the other dogs. She has been the BEST foster we have EVER had, and she is going to make someone an AMAZING friend!" Please set up a meet and greet with Mamacita ASAP. She’s excited to find her forever home with her new loving family. Currently this sweet baby is with our rescue, The Artemis Project, in Arkansas. We DO, however, transport monthly to the metro Detroit area of MI. Because we’re able to transport, we ARE able to accept adoption applications directly from residents of MI. Why do we transport? Because animal overpopulation is severe in our region, and stray and unwanted dogs have very little chance of finding a home here. These babies are, however, at a high risk of being neglected, abused, abandoned, euthanized or even shot (it’s “the way things are done” for some people down here). YOU are truly one of the only safe and happy endings for the lucky ones we are able to rescue. Upon approval of your adoption application, we will then transport your new furbaby to you in the metro Detroit area for just a small travel expense fee of $50 in addition to the adoption fee. MICHIGAN RESIDENTS—>PLEASE CLICK THE LINK BELOW TO FILL OUT THE ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://new.shelterluv.com/form/other/TAP/2450-michigan-adoption Before we can change your new furbaby’s status from "adoptable" to "adoption pending," the $50 transport fee must be paid to secure the adoption. At that time, we will stop accepting applications. The entire adoption fee must be paid prior to the transport in order to ensure your new baby has a spot on the transport. Thank you SO MUCH for giving a homeless Arkansas pup a chance at a real life with a family of their very own!
