Story

Rocket is a 2 year old Shihtzu mix who came to us from a hoarding case up in Michigan. We took five of these guys at the same time and two of them posted positive for heartworm disease. Unfortunately Rocket was one of them. After speaking with our vet we don’t see any reason why he can’t move to a foster to adopt home while he undergoes treatment at our vet clinic. It’s about a 4-5 month process which will require a couple of vet visits and medication at home. For this reason he needs to stay local to Plymouth. Rocket is extremely dog friendly. He gets along with the entire crew. He does well with cats but chases them to play. So a tolerant cat is needed. He’s also working on house training. He was kept in a shed so he is still learning where appropriate potty locations are. He’s done well here if I sit outside with him and make sure he goes before we come inside. Honestly he’s the entire package and will make a family very happy. If you are interested in fostering to adopt him please apply. Www.trackingintheshadows.com ##2735166##

Story

Meet Dewey Dewey is a sweet 8-week-old Shitzu/Poodle mix. His mom is most likely part of the same breeds with maybe some Yorkie. Whichever the breeds they are darn cute. Dewey is a gentle, affectionate pup who loves romping around with his siblings — but he’s usually one of the more independent ones. He has a playful side and usually is the instigator of rough housing play. He will thrive in a home that can provide structure, patience, and lots of love. He’s currently working on the basics of being a great companion and will need a consistent schedule and an adopter with puppy-raising experience. We do ask that his future family commit to enrolling in a positive training class to help him get off to the best possible start. Referrals are available upon request. At 4.5# he is the largest of his litter and a sturdy little guy. Dewey is scheduled to be neutered the week of August 7th. Depending on timing and circumstances, he may be available as a foster-to-adopt or can go home after his surgery. He will go home with: • 2 of 4 core puppy vaccines • Bordetella vaccine • Microchip • Deworming treatment • Started on flea/heartworm prevention Adoption Fee: $225 Apply here: [www.trackingintheshadows.com](http://www.trackingintheshadows.com/) Location Requirement: Applicants must live within 1 hour of Elkhart, IN. Please note: We do not accept electric/underground fencing. All dogs and cats in your home must be spayed/neutered and up to date on core vaccines and preventatives for your application to be approved. Once your application is approved, we’ll schedule a time for you to meet Otis and take him home! ##2744706##

Story

Lory is ready for adoption Lory is a 12# Dachshund mix looking for a family. This cutie is loads of fun and personality. She is a little package of happiness. At 8 months old she has proven to be a smart little girl. Trapped by Kira and Selina she adjusted to a routine and has learned that people are ok. Lory catches on quickly to the routine of the house and has done great with housetraining. Along the way she has made many furry friends at our home. Dogs of all different sizes and personalities and she has accepted them all. Although some are far more fun than others. We have found that cats are fun to chase and torment. A home with no cats is required. Lory also needs a fenced yard to zoom around in. If you have thought about adopting a dog that loves children or a walking partner. Maybe a playmate for your dog. Lory would be a great fit. She has so much to learn. She would excel in puppy classes and could even do agility. While she loves to play she is also a cuddle bug and gives lot's of kisses. With her short smooth coat grooming will be a breeze. Just wash and go. She definitely has the dachshund body and personality. Don't miss out. Lory is fully vetted and you will find the adoption application at thewebsite below. www.trackingintheshadows.com Adoption fee $200All pets in the home must be spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccines and heartworm prevention We do not adopt to homes with underground/electric fencing Must live within an hour of Elkhart/Cassopolis MI ##2744714##

Story

We are now accepting applications on Diesel! This little Diesel engine is 10 yrs old & 8 lbs. Don't let his age fool you! He is quite spry & runs around with dogs 1/2 his age just fine! Diesel is a velcro dog & really just wants to be adored by his person all day long. He is dog friendly but would also be fine as an only dog. He can be cat tested if needed. Diesel is doing fantastic with house training; he'd do best with a regular potty schedule. There may be some potty accidents as he adjusts to your schedule but he wears belly bands like a champ! He does fine in a crate as well. We were told Diesel was around children in the past. He can get nippy when he is scared so children 12+ who know to give him space when needed should be fine. He will need slow intros to new people. Diesel walks well on a leash. He does not need a fenced in yard but should always be kept on a leash when outside. Diesel is a happy & healthy boy with a lot of love to give! If you love chihuahuas as much as I do, he will be a great addition to your family. Applications to adopt are at www.trackingintheshadows.com. Please live within 1 hour of Elkhart, Indiana. Diesel's adoption fee is $sponsored. He is fully vetted for 1 year, neutered, microchipped, & on monthly preventatives. He also recently had a dental with 15 extractions so keeping up on his dental hygiene is a must. Once approved, we will set up a day/time for you to meet Diesel. Please be ready to take him home within 1-3 days after application approval. *We do not accept electric/underground fences. All dogs & cats in the home must be spayed/neutered & up to date on core vaccines & preventatives in order for your application to be approved.* ##2679072##

Story

Lola is a 9 year old Cavachon weighing about 30 lbs who came in as an owner surrender. She does have allergies but has been doing well with a monthly cytopoint injection and a special diet which keeps her scratching to a minimum. Due to her breed and allergies she will need to be groomed every 6-8 weeks. She is currently on the Purina HA food and will need a family who can afford her food and monthly allergy shots. When not controlled, her allergies were so terrible she lived in a cone for years. She doesn’t deserve that again. Even though she's nine, getting her allergies under control has given this girl new found energy. She loves car rides, going on walks (although she does occasionally pull when excited), and playing with other dogs. However, Lola's happiest when cuddling or being pet and will jump up on your lap if given the opening. No human is a stranger to her and she loves children, although too many crowding her does make her nervous. Lola gets along with the dogs in her foster home, but will make it known if they cross any boundaries or are too close. She has not been cat tested yet but could be on request. This girl is house trained (even letting you know when she's ready to go inside), is leash trained, does well with car rides, knows basic commands such as "sit" and "come", and is comfortable with being brushed and groomed. She is vocal, letting you know when she does not like or wants something and is very adept at giving side eye. Her ideal home is one that can shower her with attention and has a fenced in yard for her zoomies. This sweet girl is ready for her forever home where she can nap, cuddle, and be held. She’s the total package. Applications are on our website. Www.trackingintheshadows.com ##2713985##
