At just 1 year old, Scooby is a big-hearted, wiggly bundle of joy with all the best puppy energy still shining through!

While he can be a little buzzy and boisterous when he first gets excited (he may jump up to say hello!), he truly just loves love and wants to be close to his people.Underneath that playful energy is a very sweet, affectionate boy. Once he settles, Scooby will melt into gentle kisses and soak up all the cuddles. He already knows “sit” and would thrive with continued training and structure to help him channel his enthusiasm into being the very best boy he can be.Scooby may have potential with kids who are comfortable with an active, higher-energy dog. He may also do well with other dogs and possibly cats with proper introductions, ongoing training, and socialization.If you’re looking for a fun, active companion with the best wiggles, a great smile, and a heart full of joy - Scooby just might be your guy.

Bubbles

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 1 yr

Gwinn, MI

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Bubbles is a one-year-old, medium-sized mixed breed with the sweetest little legs and a soft, tender spirit. She came to us as a lost stray and is now quietly hoping for a loving family of her very own. There is a softness about Bubbles that you feel right away.Bubbles is a shy, bashful girl who appears gentle in nature. The world can still feel a little big to her, and new things may seem overwhelming at first. But when she begins to feel safe, you see her true self — the way she leans in for reassurance, the tiny tail wag, the quiet trust slowly beginning to grow. You can see how much she wants to feel safe and understood.She seems to find comfort with kind, patient people and blossoms gently when given time and calm reassurance. Sometimes she simply wants to be close to someone who feels safe.Bubbles has shown a sweet interest in other dogs, often becoming a little braver when a calm canine friend is nearby. A peaceful environment and thoughtful introductions will help her continue to build confidence.Because she is sensitive and bashful, Bubbles would likely do best in a quieter home with patient, understanding people and calmer children who can offer her the gentle kindness she needs to feel secure.Bubbles is not loud or demanding — she is soft, observant, and quietly loving. Little moments of bravery are already starting to shine through. With patience, kindness, and a loving heart beside her, she has the potential to blossom into a deeply devoted companion.She doesn’t need perfection — just patience, kindness, and someone who will love her gently. If you think Bubbles might be the right match, we encourage you to bring your family — and any dogs in the home — to meet her and see if it feels right for everyone.
