Story
Meet Chandler!You will LOVE this sweet boy! My brother found him as a stray, looked for his owner with no luck, and gave him a home. He is up to date on all of his shots, is chipped, and has a crate. They believe him to be about 18 months old and a staffordshire terrier/lab mix. He has the sweetest demeanor, does well with kids and other dogs/cats, but if not watched can be a little mischievous. My brother and his family already have a dog and cat and unfortunately are unable to give him the dedication and attention he needs. They need to rehome him, sadly, but would love to see him go to àa good home and not the pound or shelter. Please let me know if you or someone you know would be willing and able to take this sweet boy! Thanks!

My family has raised dogs for years and Melby is one of the best I’ve seen; loyal, playful, gentle and trainable. I he loves outdoor activities, hunting and is a curious fellow . It is hard for all of us to let him go.

Story
🩶🩶👵🏻 ADOPT ME 👵🏻🩶🩶 Introducing Ms. Linda.. We rescued this judgmental granny a few weeks ago right before she was euthanized. It’s apparent to us she was someone’s sidekick, unsure why she ended up as a stray. Linda has quite the personality.. she thinks the world of herself mostly. You can tell by her unimpressed facial expressions that we are merely here to make her sure she gets what she wants. She can be a tad bit pushy with her love for you as well, you want sprawl out on the couch?? She’s happy to wedge herself halfway across your space, just to let ya know she’s there. Linda is proud to be the center of attention in your home, she thinks she hails from royalty. She’s also quite the foodie as you can see, not letting any meals go to waste. All jokes aside, Linda will fill your home with a special funny energy that will keep you smiling 👍🏻 Linda Stats- 🦛 We believe her to be 6-8 years old and some sort of Boston Terrier-Beagle-Bulldog mix 🦛 She chonky… obviously overfed by someone previously. She’ll need some who will encourage her weight watchers feeding program 🦛 She gets along well with other dogs, doesn’t overly care or buddy up with them that we have seen yet. We Do Not think she’ll do well placed with cats 🦛 Linda can be intimated by some men or in situations where she feels uneasy. We believe she’ll be just fine overcoming this with proper encouragement 🦛 Linda likes to go on walks, play with toys on occasion, but her main love is sitting or being with her person If Linda sounds like the light you are missing in your life, APPLY for ADOPTION - 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Email us for an application at - ☑️ Canineliberationleague@gmail.com Or fill out online at- ☑️ www.Canineliberationleague.com Linda is current on all her vaccinations, including Rabies, DHPP, Lepto and Bordetella. She is spayed, microchipped, fecal and heartworm tested. 📍Location - South Lyon, MI 🩶🩶🩶 PLEASE SHARE to help Linda 🩶🩶🩶

Gracie

Great Pyrenees Australian Cattle Dog

Female, Adult
Howell, MI
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Gracie is a beautiful, gentle dog. She is shy and needs time to adjust to new situations. Due to a job change and some mental health issues, my son needs to rehome. Gracie has lived with other dogs but needs to be in a situation where the other dogs are well balanced and not too interested in her. Her nervous energy can be triggering to unbalanced dogs. She is not aggressive and does not have a strong prey instinct. She has the typical characteristics of a Great Pyrenees. She is not really a “pack” animal. Gracie loves to be outside and would need to be in a home with a large fenced yard or farm like setting. She has not been exposed to other animals, I believe she would be afraid at the initial introduction but would adjust quickly. She is healthy and hasn’t had any vet bills outside of normal maintenance. She is a hefty shedder, sporadic eater (but not picky) and loves to cuddle.
