Story
Meet Yogi! Yogi is an 8-year-old Boxer with a heart full of love and eyes that tell a story. This senior sweetheart came to us from Berrien County Animal Control, and it’s clear he’s been through a lot—but he hasn’t let that dim his gentle spirit. Yogi is ready to leave his past behind and spend his golden years soaking up the comfort and care he truly deserves. He’s the kind of companion who would be happiest by your side—whether that’s taking a leisurely stroll, lounging on the couch, or simply sharing a quiet moment together. He’s not asking for much—just a warm home, a soft bed, and someone to love him unconditionally. Could you be Yogi’s hero and give him the peaceful, loving retirement he’s been waiting for? From his foster: "Yogi learned to be comfortable in his cage after about a few nights and is safe to stay there for hours at a time. However, we trust him to stay outside his cage, with our two cats who also roam, while we're out/asleep and has never made any problems. He never barks and only whines when he wants to go outside. Yogi loves going on long walks (once we went for 2 hours and he still had gas in the tank). It’s much more energy than we thought he would, but that’s probably because we don’t have a yard for him to make his own fun. We’ve also discovered his love of tennis balls and squeaky toys. He loves competing in races for his tennis balls and squeaky toys. He’s not very interested in my cats at all, which is perfect. After about a week or two, they’ve become completely comfortable around him though they’ll get out of his way if they see him coming. It’s made things way less stressful knowing I can trust him with my cats. He seems to have zero prey drive, since he also isn’t interested in rabbits or squirrels that scurry across the sidewalk in front of us. He’s never had an accident in my apartment, though he has thrown up in a car before so now we bring a barf bowl which is pretty effective. We’ve started feeding him a mix of wet food to supplement his diet and help him put on some weight. He seems very fit now. His skin has also improved dramatically. There are no visible bumps or scars on his back, unlike how it looked when he first came home with us. We’ve been teaching him some tricks too. He knows “Stay” and “Come” pretty well, though won’t always listen if there are a lot of distractions. I’ve been teaching him “Leave it” and “Sit” as well. We thought he might be a little deaf at first because he’d ignore his name, but he definitely responds to it now. He’s very friendly with dogs that he meets. He likes to say hi, but he never obsesses over them which helps make him a lot less intimidating and a good companion dog. Similar to people, he likes to say hi and then move on with his walk. He's very sweet and not at all dominating. He’s very calm when meeting people and animals. Yogi is also very tolerant of showers. While he whines a bit, he does not struggle when properly tethered and is not dramatic compared to other dogs. He is further very tolerant of us cleaning his paws 3x a day when we come back from his walks so that he doesn't bring in dirt. Overall, he’s a really sweet dog and I love him. He’s the cutest thing. He loves cuddling with us on the couch but also isn’t too clingy and will stay out of my room."

Story
Rizzo — The Tough-Girl-With-a-Heart-of-Gold BoxerMeet Rizzo, the 4-year-old Boxer beauty who’s got that perfect mix of sass, sweetness, and soul. Like her namesake from Grease, she may look tough on the outside—but under that cool-girl charm is a total softie who just wants to love and be loved.After coming up from Alabama (where snow was just a rumor), Rizzo’s learned to embrace her new life up north. Once she realized the white stuff was safe, she was all in—zoomies, snow angels, the works.She’s completely house trained, sleeps like a rock, and can be left loose in the house without worry. Crates? Not her scene—she’s more of a “curl-up-on-the-couch-and-snuggle” kind of gal.Rizzo’s got a big personality and loves being part of the action. She adores people (especially her foster’s son, her favorite T-Bird in the world) and thrives on attention and affection. She’d be happiest in a home where she can be someone’s leading lady—whether that’s as an only dog or with playmates who match her energy.She’s social, playful, and curious—fine with kids 10 and up, respectful at mealtime, and easily redirected with a simple “no begging.” Her favorite toys are pink stuffies, crinkly squeakers, and the occasional water bottle (hey, Rizzo’s gotta recycle in style).Rizzo’s motto?“There are worse things I could do… than fall head-over-paws for you.” So if you’re ready to meet your match made in musical history—a confident, loving, loyal best friend with star power to spare—Rizzo’s your girl.Interested in adopting this dog?
