Story

Citrus was living alone in an abandoned house with no doors or windows. We trapped her, and she got very upset. Citrus was growling for many many days, and did not allow any handling. She finally came around to trust us, and is now a loving sweetheart. Citrus wants an understanding foster-to-adopt home, who wants to baby her. She is estimated to be 2-4 years old, and a mix between English Bulldog and Boxer. Citrus has a classic cautious and disapproving yet personable English Bulldog personality, and the silly play style of a Boxer. We are looking for a household without children for Citrus. Leashed walks are fine, she does not require a fenced in yard. Citrus has dog friends at the shelter - but incorporating her into a home dynamic with other dogs will take weeks. If you are up for it, we can discuss. We cover all needed vet care. The adoption fee is $275. Please apply through our website: rebeldogsdetroit.com/applytoadopt

Story

Royal King A18669438 lb. neutered male, approx 2 years old -This sweet boy was understandably nervous when he first stepped into the yard, trembling as he took in all the new sights and sounds. He quickly discovered that a lap and some reassurance made him feel much safer. After a few minutes of cuddles, his nerves settled and he began venturing out to explore on his own. Before long, he was coming right back to me and putting his paws up to ask for more attention.-He’s a skinny little guy who is very motivated by treats, which should make helping him learn his manners a lot of fun! He patiently sits for his snacks and was already making great progress with taking them more gently by the end of our time together. He’s receptive to learning and clearly wants to figure things out.-He isn’t interested in toys just yet, but he does enjoy affection and gives a few sweet kisses here and there. He also walks nicely with minimal pulling. Once he realized he was safe, we got to see more of his sweet personality come through. He’s a gentle boy who may just need a little patience, reassurance, and time to realize that the world isn’t so scary after all.-Seems non reactive to dogs nearby and may do well living with a fur sibling after slow and proper intros Unknown behavior with dogs/cats/kids•Meet all of our adoptable pets on our website friendsofdacc.org/adopt •Please keep in mind that the shelter can be a very stressful environment. •Studies show that a minimum of 3 days decompression drastically lower stress hormones and allow the dog to show more personality after they have settled in. •There is a suggested donation of $100 for our dogs, payable by cash, check or through paypal at the time of the adoption. •To meet them please go to front door and a DACC staff member will assist you with adoption or fostering. **And when coming to meet one of our dogs, please bring all the humans with you, but leave any current dogs at home.

Story

Cinnamon A18682053 lb. spayed female, approx 2 years old -She’s a sweet, gentle girl who is still finding her confidence. She’s a little head shy and cautious at first, but with some patience and time, she slowly starts to let her personality shine through. She enjoys wandering and exploring at her own pace, and snacks are definitely the way to her heart!-She’s a little skinny and very food motivated. She was a bit grabby with treats at first, but she quickly caught on when we practiced being “easy.” She’s still working on her “sit,” but she’s eager to learn and receptive to gentle guidance.-The longer we spent together, the more comfortable she became. I was rewarded with some sweet tail wags and even a couple kisses! She walks nicely on leash without pulling and is currently a lower-energy girl who seems to appreciate a calm, quiet environment. She isn’t interested in toys just yet, but I think there’s so much more of her personality waiting to come out once she has a chance to decompress and feel safe.-This timid little girl just needs someone willing to give her the time and patience to blossom. I have a feeling those tail wags and kisses are only the beginning. -Seems non reactive to dogs nearby and may do well living with a fur sibling after slow and proper intros Unknown behavior with dogs/cats/kids•Meet all of our adoptable pets on our website friendsofdacc.org/adopt •Please keep in mind that the shelter can be a very stressful environment. •Studies show that a minimum of 3 days decompression drastically lower stress hormones and allow the dog to show more personality after they have settled in. •There is a suggested donation of $100 for our dogs, payable by cash, check or through paypal at the time of the adoption. •To meet them please go to front door and a DACC staff member will assist you with adoption or fostering. **And when coming to meet one of our dogs, please bring all the humans with you, but leave any current dogs at home.

Story

Dagmar A18668637 lb. neutered male, approx 2 years old -This handsome boy walks nicely on leash and is an absolute lap dog! He’s sweet, gentle, and clearly thinks the best place to be is as close to you as possible. He loves cuddling, attention, and especially belly rubs. Once the pets start, he gets so excited that his little legs go flailing everywhere! 😂-He likes treats, takes them nicely, and is working on his sit. He’ll sit briefly, but then starts creeping closer with his little tippy taps or an occasional jump because he just wants to be right there with you. He’s not currently interested in toys—people are much more exciting!-He’s a little on the skinny side, but he’s absolutely adorable and has such a sweet, affectionate personality. His photo shoot was a bit of a challenge because sitting still was apparently far less important than scooting closer to his favorite person.-And that sad face? Don’t let it fool you…he is NOT sad! 😂 He’s just got a naturally serious little face.-Seems non reactive to dogs nearby and may do well living with a fur sibling after slow and proper introsUnknown behavior with dogs/cats/kids•Meet all of our adoptable pets on our website friendsofdacc.org/adopt •Please keep in mind that the shelter can be a very stressful environment. •Studies show that a minimum of 3 days decompression drastically lower stress hormones and allow the dog to show more personality after they have settled in. •There is a suggested donation of $100 for our dogs, payable by cash, check or through paypal at the time of the adoption. •To meet them please go to front door and a DACC staff member will assist you with adoption or fostering. **And when coming to meet one of our dogs, please bring all the humans with you, but leave any current dogs at home.

Story

Dipsette A18690432 lb. neutered male, approx 1 year old -This sweet boy is an affectionate little lovebug! He jumped right into my lap and immediately showed me how much he loves pets and giving kisses.-He has plenty of happy puppy energy and is very food motivated, which will be wonderful for training! Once the snacks came out, he was all about them—sniffing around to see where the goodies were coming from and eagerly waiting for his turn. He knows “sit” and takes treats nicely, with just a little puppy enthusiasm mixed in as he sometimes creeps closer or pops up for them.-After a little while, he settled in between my legs and happily enjoyed some quiet pets and cuddles. It was sweet to see him shift from busy puppy mode into cuddle mode.-He walks nicely with minimal pulling and is a fun, affectionate youngster who will be a blast to continue training and growing with. He wasn’t quite sure what to do with toys yet, but with his playful puppy spirit and love of treats, I think he’ll have plenty of fun discovering new things!-Seems non reactive to dogs nearby and may do well living with a fur sibling after slow and proper introsUnknown behavior with dogs/cats/kids•Meet all of our adoptable pets on our website friendsofdacc.org/adopt •Please keep in mind that the shelter can be a very stressful environment. •Studies show that a minimum of 3 days decompression drastically lower stress hormones and allow the dog to show more personality after they have settled in. •There is a suggested donation of $100 for our dogs, payable by cash, check or through paypal at the time of the adoption. •To meet them please go to front door and a DACC staff member will assist you with adoption or fostering. **And when coming to meet one of our dogs, please bring all the humans with you, but leave any current dogs at home.

Story

Vernor A18677638 lb. neutered male, approx 1 year old -This young guy is a sensitive soul who needs a little time to feel comfortable, but once he does, there’s a really sweet and playful personality waiting to come out. He walked nicely overall, although doorways were a little intimidating at first. -Outside, he was clearly taking everything in and needed some reassurance, but what stood out most was that even while he was unsure, he kept choosing to come back to me for pets and attention. That tells me he really does want to connect with his person.-He wasn’t quite sure what to do with treats at first. He would happily lick them, but couldn’t quite bring himself to take them from my hand. When I dropped them for him, he would play with them instead. Little by little, though, his curiosity started winning out. I tried a playful bow and a little floor-slapping invitation, and suddenly he was off doing zoomies! He’d race around and then come right back looking for more attention.-Inside, he needed some time to settle into the new environment. I eventually gave him some space and focused on my paperwork, and that turned out to be exactly what he needed. When I looked back over, he had decided that those treats he had previously been unsure about were actually pretty fantastic! Soon he was happily eating them, bouncing excitedly for more, and showing me that he knows “sit” and takes treats very nicely.-Then came another little breakthrough—he grabbed a toy and even played with it briefly! By the end, he was back to seeking out pets and attention and giving kisses.-He’s a young guy who is still learning about the world and discovering that new experiences can be okay. He just needs someone willing to give him the time and patience to find his confidence. Once he feels safe, his silly, playful, affectionate side starts peeking through, and I have a feeling there’s a whole lot more personality waiting to emerge. -Seems non reactive to dogs nearby and may do well living with a fur sibling after slow and proper intros Unknown behavior with dogs/cats/kids•Meet all of our adoptable pets on our website friendsofdacc.org/adopt •Please keep in mind that the shelter can be a very stressful environment. •Studies show that a minimum of 3 days decompression drastically lower stress hormones and allow the dog to show more personality after they have settled in. •There is a suggested donation of $100 for our dogs, payable by cash, check or through paypal at the time of the adoption. •To meet them please go to front door and a DACC staff member will assist you with adoption or fostering. **And when coming to meet one of our dogs, please bring all the humans with you, but leave any current dogs at home.

Story

Introducing Rafiki: A Gentle Soul Seeking a Tranquil Sanctuary Meet Rafiki, a truly special boy who brings love and resilience in equal measure. Surrendered to us after being found as a stray, Rafiki's journey has been one of courage and triumph over challenges. Despite a rough start with untreated seizures, his spirit remains unbroken, and he’s now looking for a calm, loving environment to call home. Rafiki’s Needs: Rafiki's seizures are now 98% under control, thanks to dedicated care and medical attention. However, he thrives in a peaceful setting as too much activity can increase his seizure activity. A home without other pets or with just one other calm dog would be ideal for him, ensuring he remains relaxed and happy. What Makes Rafiki Special? Aside from his brave heart, Rafiki is house trained, crate trained, and wonderfully nondestructive—though he has a soft spot for a good stuffie! His favorite pastimes are snuggling on the couch and playing with his collection of squeaky toys and benebones. He even takes his beloved stuffies with him when he goes out to potty, showing just how much they mean to him. The Ideal Home for Rafiki: Rafiki's perfect match would be someone who appreciates the joys and the challenges of caring for a special needs dog. He needs a serene home where he can relax deeply and bond with his caregiver. A fenced backyard is essential for him to safely enjoy the outdoors. Why Choose Rafiki? Choosing to love Rafiki means embracing his uniqueness and providing him with the stability and care he needs to manage his health. In return, Rafiki offers unwavering companionship, endless cuddles, and a reminder of the impact of compassion and resilience. If you’re looking for a quiet companion and aren’t afraid of a little special in your life, Rafiki might just be the dog for you. His calm demeanor and loving nature make him a wonderful addition to a peaceful household. Ready to provide a sanctuary for Rafiki? His journey could lead to your doorstep, transforming both his life and yours. APPLY to FOSTER or ADOPT: rebeldogsdetroit.com/applytoadopt rebeldogsdetroit.com/becomeafoster

Story

Meet Millie – A Shy Soul with a Heart Ready to Bloom Millie has come a long way from the field she once called home. Found last summer with her siblings, living under a car in the heat, Millie (formerly Nillie) was the most shut down of the group. She flinched at every movement, avoided touch, and kept the world at a safe distance. But through months of patient fostering, she’s learning that love can be safe—and that life has so much more to offer than survival. Today, Millie is still a gentle, quiet soul, but she’s showing us more and more of who she truly is: sweet, loyal, silly in her own quiet way. She’ll follow her foster dogs like a shadow, curling up beside them or trailing behind them on quiet walks through the yard. She puts herself in her crate when she senses her human is leaving and waits patiently for their return. She snorts when she’s happy. She snores like a tiny piglet when she naps. And she lights up at mealtime like it’s the best part of her day. Millie still has some work to do—she’s learning potty training, figuring out how to walk confidently on leash, and still startles with sudden changes—but what she needs most is another dog by her side. She blossoms around confident, kind dogs who show her what it means to be safe, loved, and at ease. Her ideal home is calm and quiet, with a fenced yard and a dog buddy who can be her guide. She’d do best with adults or older children who understand that trust takes time. But once she gives it to you—once she chooses you—you’ll have a devoted companion who wants nothing more than to be near. Millie doesn’t need much. Just patience. Kindness. And someone who sees her not for where she’s been, but for how far she’s come—and how much love she still has to give. If you have space in your heart and home, and a dog who might just be Millie’s new best friend, apply to foster or adopt today. Let’s help this beautiful girl write her next chapter. Adoption is $275, which includes spay/neuter at our vet, vaccines, dewormer, microchip, and clean bill of health. Although we work to potty train all of our dogs, we cannot guarantee full house training before adoption. Regression is a normal part of transitioning to a new home.
