Story
Max is a little cutie, he will have new pictures coming soon as he just got all groomed and is going to have a fun photo shoot! Max is estimated to be about 3 years old and weighs 13 pounds. Meet Max, a wonderful young boy who is ready to find his forever family. Sadly, he came to the rescue super matted, we whisked him right to the groomers and he is feeling so much better. Even when first meeting Max, he had to be so uncomfortable, but the little guy's tail never quit wagging, it is literally nonstop wags! There is something hard to explain about how you feel when he looks at you, he has the silliest expression on his face that just makes you smile. Max can be a little unsure and is hand shy though, he takes just a few minutes to trust, but once he does, look out, he will give you the gentlest kisses and a nudge when he wants more attention. Max also takes his treats very gently and likes to follow you around. He really is going to make someone a wonderful best friend. He would probably like a more quiet, predictable type home to match his shy nature with older children. Max would love it if you came to meet him, he can't wait for a family to love and to care for him like he deserves. If you are interested in Max and are at least 21 years old, please come to our kennel during business hours, make an appointment, or fill out an application at k9stray.com and an adoption counselor will be in touch. We look forward to helping you find your new best friend! *Please check your lease agreements for breed/weight restrictions prior to applying. We also do not do cat testing, so we do not know how a dog will do with cats. Not all dogs are available to go home on the same day you first meet.*

Story
Looking to rehome our 5 year old Newfie/Hound mix dog. He goes by many names Murphy, MurMur, Mur, Sprinkle, Sprink. (And yes he answers to every single one.)Super smart, loving, protective dog. He is potty trained rarely if ever has accidents. He was in a cage when we were gone at work his first two years but he no longer goes in a cage while we are gone. He does well by himself for up to 8 hours a day. Only reason we are looking to rehome him is because he is aggressive towards our child. We have been trying to train and work with him for a year now but he is not showing improvements. We have had him since he was 7 weeks old so we are his only owners. This is not a decision that is easy for our family, but it is unfortunately something we have to do. Just want him to go to someone that will love him as much as we do. Located in Muskegon, MI

Story
Hi my name is Ricotta! I am a shy kind of dog who is looking for a patient owner who is willing to give me time to adjust and open up in my new home. I can be selective when it comes to new friends, so I’d like to meet any potential dog siblings before I go home. Once I get more comfortable, I will come out of my shell and start to show more of my true personality. If you are interested in meeting me, please fill out an adoption survey online or in the shelter.I am currently under the care of the shelter medical team at HSHV. If you would like to learn more about me, please reach out to the Adoption Desk at (734) 662-5585.
