Story
He is a sweet baby with puppy energy. He has been well socialized through puppy yoga. He loves to snuggle. I unfortunately cannot keep him at this time. He is 9 weeks old. I am looking for a home that will love and cherish him, and an experienced adopter that can get him through the puppy phase and thriving.

Quindim A17415345 lb. neutered male, approx 8 months old -Came in with a slight fracture and swelling to his leg. He has a splint on it and is being monitored.-He’s figuring out how to navigate the cast and a leash. I don’t think he’s been on a leash before. But he’s improving each day!-He’s super loving and affectionate-Kisses are a must with him!-He loves to be in your lap for pets-Likes treats and sits occasionally when he can navigate his new weird cast-Takes treats very gently-Not currently interested in toysSeems 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. Staff will go over how to slowly and properly introduce them after a decompression period.** •The shelter is open 7 days a week from 10:30-3:30 BUT our adoptions are done 7 days a week from 10:30am -3:00pm. •The last potential adopter must arrive before 3:00 pm so we have time to properly help you before closing. **1431 E Ferry St. Detroit

Story
Hello, This is Ford. My wife and I adopted Ford from a shelter out of northern Indiana last Thanksgiving, so November 2024. We had adopted Ford to give our current coon hound, Hank, someone to play with in our new house with our new big yard. They seemed to like each other well enough at the start, and still do for the most part (sometimes they get a little rowdy in the backyard, but no biting or anything aggressive). However, he has a never ending supply of energy, running through the house and bothering Hank when he is resting or sleeping, but more importantly, making it not safe for our young daughter, who is just learning to walk. Ford is house trained and has a 3X/day feeding routine. He loves his food. This is one of the problems we are having with him. While we feed him a healthy helping 3x/day, he will bark at my wife throughout the day to try and get more food. He is a snuggle dog though. If you want a dog to snuggle up with on the couch or in bed, he would love that.

Story
Meet Mango, You will fall in love! Sweet Mango is about 40# and around 9 months old, slightly on the taller side. He is currently at the shelter learning to be brave and getting there every day. He is there with his sister Melon. They both are looking for a wonderful foster or adopter. They do not need to be adopted or fostered together, this is just the current situation he is in and we love the puppy playtime in the meantime. Mango is a bit on the shyer, quiet side which may change once he gets more confident. We already see him coming out of his shell. He can be the only dog or would be happy to have a dog brother or sister that can show him the ropes, with slow and proper introductions. He loves to play and would be a great boy for future adventures. If sweet Mango looks to be your match, please fill out an app for him. *Cats and Kids are unknown. Breed is a guess based on appearance.
