Story
My name is Arlo. My birthday is 12.31.24. I’m fixed, incredibly smart, and well trained. However, when it comes to food… I am very protective I’m trained to go to my “place” until told “ok”. Please leave me alone while I eat. I’m wonderful with my 11 year old and 11 month old sisters. The baby is my favorite! I’m crate trained and use a bell when I need to go out. I have a specific “place” when waiting to be fed or when people enter the home. I’m great on a leash. I’m very protective of women and children. I like to sit in the window and will not bark if told to “watch quiet”. I also know “sit, lay down, stay, no, easy, bed, out, place, potty, quiet, enough, leave it, come, wait”. I am extremely treat motivated. I allow my nails to be clipped by having a treat on the floor and told to “wait” or “leave it”. I will destroy and EAT every toy and only get hard plastic toys. I NEED to have a yard to run and hopefully another dog play with as I have a lot of puppy energy still!

Story
This is really hard…. Barrett is my best friend and I don’t want this but my work and school schedule I don’t have enough time or help. I would love it if someone would let me see him from time to time. I put he doesn’t get along with dogs because he hates male dogs. A mellow medium to large female dog with slow introduction would be best. He typically stays between 49lbs-55lbs depending on time of year, mood, stressors.

Story
💥💥💥 ADOPT ME 💥💥💥 Meet Buzz! This handsome Chug (Chi/Pug) is looking for his forever home. We rescued him from a severe neglect situation. He has come an extremely long way with his health journey. He had little to no hair due to a full body skin infection, but as you can see he’s turned into a dapper young man. Buzz currently weighs in around 20 lbs and we believe him to be approximately five years old. Buzz stats- ☄️Buzz is a timid little guy, but blossoms nicely when he feels safe & secure. He loves his people who care for him, but will need to work on some confidence building when introduced to new things. ☄️ Buzz gets along well with other dogs, ideally we would like him to have a canine buddy who is more confident than him to show him the ropes of dog life. ☄️ Buzz is crate/pen trained, but once adjusted to a new home could probably have free rein. He’s proven himself to be rather polite and well behaved. ☄️ Buzz will bark at strangers, but is very sweet to his core. Not an ounce of aggression has been seen, but we do want a family/owner who can understand he hasn’t experienced much life beyond the neglect he suffered. ☄️ Buzz has a funny, quirky personality. He sports a goofy smile and has the most endearing face and demeanor. If Buzz sounds like the dog for you, please fill out an application for adoption! You can find our applications on our website or you can email for us for one - 💡www.Canineliberationleague.com 💡 Canineliberationleague@gmail.com Buzz is current on all vaccinations including Rabies, DHPP, Lepto and Bordetella. He is neutered, microchipped, fecal & heartworm tested. 📍We are located in SE MI, Buzz in in a foster home in Ann Arbor, MI 🚨 PLEASE SHARE to help Buzz 🚨

Story
Looking to rehome our two year old dog Indiana. We got him at 8 weeks old from a breeder. He is purebred Australian Cattle Dog and so full of life. He's extremely smart and loves to be at your side. He needs work, to be challenged, space to run and play, and unfortunately with job changes and more kids, we are no longer able to give him the life he deserves. He's great with kids, mediocre around other dogs, crate trained, house trained.
