Story
His name means "Blessed" in German. He was given to a family who just doesn't have enough time at home to raise a puppy or vet him or be with him. He was kept home alone most of the time in a bedroom. He's very loyal and sweet, super smart and really his name should be "Velcro". We do need a home where someone is home with him, working from home or has enough people in the house that can be with him and possibly another dog in the house so he has a good friend to be with. He's approx 13- 16 months old, heis and will be a big boy and needs a lot of time, room to run, attention and training. A fenced yard is a must or a yard with an invisible fence would work for him. He loves attention and kisses and will return the love to you as well. He's a fast learner. He does seem to have anxiety if we leave him because he was so lonely and uncared for at his previous living situation. He needs a lot of exercise and walks and loves to run and play in a yard. He definitely needs an experienced person to be his people. We have an awesome trainer and we were told he wasn't house broken, but he is, all you have to do is take him out often and he's great with going potty outside. He rides well in the car. For a lot more information, call or text me initially at 517 294 4514 or email me your phone number to marlas2468@yahoo.com

Story
Rosalie is a Halloween baby, she is a sweet pup. A beautiful girl also. She is in a situation where she needs a new home. She's been with the same owner since a pup and she's good around kids and cats and dogs, but she is with other dogs now and becoming protective around her food. She likes to play with other dogs, but definitely has the feeling to not let them take her things. She is even tempered and smart and will be easy to train further. We are looking for a non smoking home with someone who is working from home most of the time. Someone with the time to spend one on one with her and make her a important part of the family every day. A fenced yard for her is important and having a person who is active who will take her on long daily walks, hiking, socializing daily for her is important. For more information call or text me at 517 294 4514 or email me your phone number to marlas2468@yahoo.com

Story
Coco was adopted last year by a family who has to other older dogs. As a puppy they seemed fine with her but now that she is about a year old, they are not accepting her. She's stressed in the house and afraid of the two other dogs. She's great with people and joyful with humans so we are looking for a family for her where she's the only dog or with one other dog who will accept her. She's a smaller dog about 40 pounds. She doesn't bark much, she mostly wants to cuddle and be loved. For more information call or text me at 517 294 4514 or email me your phone number to marlas2468@yahoo.com

Story
Pepita is a beautiful good girl who can sit, stay, lay, and give you her paw. When we got her and her sister we were naive to think they'd stay on the smaller side and therefore would have enough space in our smaller apartment (only 1 of their parents is half German Shepherd). But as they've gotten older and bigger, they've gotten extremely physically active and at times that can be very overwhelming. I want Pepita to have someone who can match her active lifestyle and who can also be patient with her as she becomes house trained. She is kennel trained and mostly potty trained with the occasional accident. She loves chewing on pretty much anything but particularly toys and sticks. Pepita is also part sea otter and LOVES swimming (with her double coat, it no doubt helps cool her off). I would love to stay in touch with her new owner, and would really appreciate seeing her throughout the years. Ideally her and her sister should have play dates at the dog park :).

Story
We pulled Chuck from a local shelter. It is a very scary place for him and he was very nervous there. He is at a temporary foster home and we are looking for a foster or adoptive home. He needs to be in a quiet home situation. He is a very nice dog but needs training and socialization. He is very affectionate. He is neutered, heartworm negative, fully vaccinated and fecal tested (negative). He seems to be good with cats.
