Mimi

Labrador Retriever

Female, Young

Royal Oak, MI

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained,

Story

Mimi, Sally and Magic are all siblings that were found and an abandoned house in the summer. They are considered bonded but can be separated however, if someone wanted to adopt two of them, I would suggest Mimi and Sally as they are the most bonded. Mimi is very curious and prefers the indoors more than the other two. She’s pretty calm and well behaved in the house, although they are all young dogs and like to get into things occasionally like tearing up dog blankets and towels if they can get their paws on them. They are all very highly motivated and can get pretty excited around mealtime. When they have been to pet's bar, people have commented how calm and well behaved they are however they can get pretty rowdy outside running and playing in the field, very sweet natured with good temperament. I would say they are for the most part house trained. There has been only one accident in the house from the three of them in three months, but they spend a lot of time outdoors. An adapter would need to know that they were definitely may need some close supervision in the house at first. These dogs are being fostered in the south but included in your adoption fee is transport to a location near you by Rescue Riders Pet Transport, the most animal-friendly transport on the road.

Story

Whiskey came into rescue as a 10-week-old pup in Sept 2023. He came with his sister that was adopted 2 years ago. He is a sweet pup that needs his own family. He is good with other dogs but has not been cat tested. He has been completely vetted and is house and crate trained. This sweet boy is so deserving of a loving home. He is not a favorite of leash walking, but usually it's because he is going to the vet. He can only wear a harness as he doesn't like a leash on his neck. Look into his beautiful eyes and see what a sweet soul he has. His adoption fee covers the transport and health certificate to go out of state. He is fostered in East TN, but transportation is provided by Rescue Riders LLC. Please let me know if you have any questions. Please email us for the link to the adoption application.

Good with cats,

Story

Lois is an amazing dog who is looking for her perfect home!! Would you ever imagine that this adorable smiling face had ever been anything but happy?! She seems to have forgotten her past (which was the too often sad story of a mom and her puppies struggling to survive) and is ready for her time in the spotlight. She's been waiting over a year and a half for her chance! Lois is an outgoing, friendly, playful, athletic, bubbly, energetic, happy-go-lucky girl who truly loves playing with her friends. She’s had a few different dog friends (all boys) that she’s played with and she is always up for a game of chase with some zoomies. No girl dogs for her, or cats. She really needs an active household. She’ll keep everyone entertained! Her big smile is just too contagious. Besides a family of her own, Lois also needs a secure, fenced yard. She’s quite the athlete and she likes to show off her athletic prowess. So we want to make sure that she stays safe! Lois is a great size - around 40-45 lb. She’s probably in the 2-3 year old range. She’ll be an amazing dog for the right home! This animal is being fostered in the South but transport to a location near you is included in your adoption fee. We use Rescue Riders Pet Transport, (www.rescueridersllc.net), the most animal-friendly transport on the road.

Juniper the Dog

Australian Cattle Dog/Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 3 yrs

Royal Oak, MI

Size

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

Details

Story

Ever wonder if it is even possible for show stopping beauty, an amazing brain, AND a five-star winning personality to come in the same package?! Lucky for you — they do for this sweet girl! Juniper is a treasure of a dog, waiting for her forever home. Just look at those beautiful, bright amber eyes and freckled nose. Juniper is a gorgeous girl and a perfect medium size. She always upbeat and carries a smile on her face. Besides her looks, Juniper is also a very smart, trainable girl. The sky is the limit for her. She’s eager to learn. She’s also pretty athletic so she would be a great running companion. Or maybe you’ve always wanted to try dog sports like agility. Juniper would be perfect! And best of all, Juniper has a very sweet disposition with every person she meets. She craves attention from her people and will be a loyal companion for years to come! She would be perfectly content being an only dog or possibly one other canine companion that suits her fancy. She's doggy selective, and would need a little time to warm up to a new BFF once they know she's in charge of the playtime antics. Juniper is a year or two old, 40-45 lb.
