Story
Gus is an 8-month-old Maltese with a bright personality and a fresh new start. This small, white fluffball came to us as a stray, so his prior history is unknown—but what we do know is that Gus has been friendly, social, and sweet in our care.He’s newly shaved and neutered, feeling good, and ready to learn what life in a loving home is all about. Like many young dogs, Gus will thrive with positive reinforcement training to help him build confidence, learn good manners, and continue growing into the best little companion he can be.Because his background is unknown, his experience with other animals is also unknown. We recommend slow, safe introductions to any resident pets to set everyone up for success.If you’re looking for a small dog with a big heart and are ready to help a young pup blossom, Gus may be your perfect match. 💕

Story
Howdy! Meet Simon.Simon is a dog that will keep you on you toes. He loves toys and will self entertain (or entertain you as you watch him). He is full of life and ready for a car ride to the next adventure. He has the attention span of a squirrel and will do wonderful in a home that matches his busy energy. Here's the details on Simon:- Simon does well with most dogs. We think he prefers calmer dogs but a meet and greet with your dog is required to make sure everyone gets along. - He loves people and will greet every stranger with a big excited jump. We are working on our manners at the shelter and he is eager to learn more.-We aren't sure if Simon likes cats so he might need a home with cats who are used to being around dogs. If you would like your very own kangaroo, Simon would love to meet you!If your application was approved and you received a call back from the Humane Society of Macomb for a meet and greet, plan to take the animal home that day. Be prepared to adopt and to bring a home a new family member. We cannot place puppies/dogs on hold to come pick up for another day.Thank you for showing an interest in our pets. We can never guarantee the breeds of the animals. We do not DNA test. Please feel free to call us with any questions.

Story
Meet Vivi!Born on 10/09/25, Vivi is a mixed-breed puppy who’s expected to grow into a large, loving companion. She’s the ultimate snuggle bug with a silly, adventurous streak—equally happy curling up for cuddles or bravely exploring the big world around her. Vivi is curious, sweet, and playful, and she has a special talent for melting hearts by flopping onto her back and asking for belly rubs. She does great with kids and other dogs and hasn’t been around cats yet. If you’re looking for a puppy who’s affectionate, fun-loving, and ready to grow with your family, Vivi might be your perfect match. ##2619812##

Story
Salmon is such a fun, loving, and energetic little guy. He bounces around with endless enthusiasm, always curious about what’s going on and never wanting to miss out. The moment you pick him up, though, he turns into the sweetest, calmest cuddle buddy who just wants to be held and loved. He’s also a certified goofball. As a silly little chihuahua with a charming snaggle tooth, he keeps everyone laughing. Getting a good picture of him is almost impossible—he’s always wiggling, dancing, or running circles around you! Salmon is a very good listener and has been working hard on his manners and a few tricks. He loves dogs, cats, people, and pretty much anything else that exists. He’s such a good boy and will bring so much joy and laughter to his new family! ##2620384##
