Story
Meet Gus 🐾 Gus is a 4.5-year-old Redtick Coonhound with a classic hound heart—sweet, loyal, and always ready for an adventure. He’s been with us since he was a puppy, and he’s grown into a loving, well-socialized dog who truly enjoys being part of a family. Gus does great with kids and gets along well with other dogs, especially those his own size. He enjoys going on walks, where his hound nose gets a workout, and he’s happiest when he has time to explore the world at a relaxed pace. After a good walk, he’s content to settle in and enjoy some quality downtime with his people. He would thrive in a home that appreciates his gentle, curious nature and can give him regular walks and companionship. Gus is a wonderful dog who will make a loyal and loving addition to the right home. This decision has not been made lightly. Our goal is to find Gus a loving home where he will get the attention and care he deserves.

Story
We adopted Dexter from a shelter 3.5 years ago. I want to paint a clear picture of Dexter. He is an anxious dog. We have three kids and when they are around and playing, he usually leaves the room. He likes them if they are calmly petting him but does not like when they are active. He is very tolerant of them and has never been reactive towards them. Dexter is an extremely cuddly dog. He loves nothing more than to be pet and lay by you on the couch. He has very soft, cozy fur on his neck that is so soft it makes your hand happy to pet it. Dexter does bark at the Amazon guy and at animals in the yard. He likes to chase small animals. He is not good with other dogs. His ideal home would be with a dog lover with no other pets, and no kids, or kids who love to pet dogs. He doesn't play much. He is bad on a leash. We have a fenced in area so we just let me him out there. He does try to escape sometimes but always comes home quickly. He's a sweet boy, but needs a calmer home. He weighs 26lbs

Story
This is Rufus! He is a very sweet, loyal, and chill dog. He spends most of his days laying on his favorite bed, our very nice couch. He loves pets and will stare us in the face until we give in to his quiet demands. When given the chance, he will be your very big, bulky lap dog. While sleeping is his favorite activity (preferably by me, his preferred family member) he can be quite playful and energetic when given the opportunity! Rufus is a fantastic dog with a traumatic first few years of life. We rescued him in 2018 and he has blossomed since then. We are incredibly broken up about needing to rehome him. We are moving to Spain and truly believe, based on his past and personality, he will experience less trauma and stress if we rehome him. If our circumstances were anything other than moving out of the country, this lovable guy would be with us until his last moment of life. We are looking for the perfect family because he deserves one.

Laika

Australian Shepherd

Belmont, MI
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Laika is a beautiful 6-year-old red Merle Mini Australian Shepherd. She has been with us since she was 8 weeks old, and it breaks our heart to have to seek a new home for her. She has struggled to adapt since the birth of our child, and as baby becomes more mobile this strain is becoming more and more evident. Laika is a sweet and sassy girl who is eager to please and does best with adequate stimulation and exercise. She would be best served with owners who are experienced with this breed. She loves swimming in shallow water, hikes, ice cubes, and anywhere she can run wide open. She is very intelligent and treat-motivated. She knows basic commands, is housebroken, crate-trained, and does not chew or exhibit other destructive behaviors. She can be protective over her food and her crate, and can be nippy in these circumstances. She has lived with cats, who she tolerates but herds. She gets along with dogs she is familiar with. She should absolutely NOT be in a home with young children.

Story
It is with a heavy heart I have to do this. Willa is an amazing dog! Very smart, very loyal. As a kid I’d always dreamed of having a dog that can catch a frisbee, and Willa is THAT dog. She shows great athletic ability but is now mostly motivated to do it with treats. She used to be more intrinsically motivated to do it and still is when there’s snow on the ground (she loves the snow). Willa can sit, stay, roll over, give paw and balance treats on her muzzle. If proper boundaries are set in the house, she will follow them. We don’t allow her upstairs in our house or on furniture and she has been good about both. She can be high energy but also likes to chill and snuggle. Willa is probably best with no or one other dog around but not more, at least on a regular basis. Willa is great with kids but unfortunately my son and wife are allergic. I’m hoping to find a good/loving home for Willa here.
