Story
Journey is a very energetic young dog whom is driven to work (herding). He loves to go for walks, and chase the ball, and animals too. Journey has high level of energy characteristic of Border Collies. He needs to be busy fetching, or working to coral animal he sees that need to be herded. Journey needs to be in an environment where the people that own him realize that he needs daily exercise and needs to be mentally stimulated (encouraging him to be what God designed him to be....a working dog taking care of the flock). He does not interact with cats well as he want to herd them. He has been potty trained to go outside and also knows a few commands for treats such as sit, stay, shake, down and wait when coming in doors. He has crate trained. He does struggle with staying though especially when distracted when a work opportunity (herding) presents itself. He has been a patient of Integrative Veterinary Services of Southeast MI.

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!

Story
Make sure to let us know you saw Misty on Adopt-a-pet. Misty has a lot to say about being in the shelter. She enjoys keeping shelter staff in the know about her kennelmates behavior and is often chiming in to conversations up front with her two cents. Brash and sassy, she is not afraid to speak her mind or demand you share your treats with her! Speaking of treats, Misty is on a special weight-loss diet for the time being. Her adopter will be responsible for continuing this journey with her so she can live her best life in her new forever home. We are trying to convince her that pets are just as good as Milkbones, and, don't tell her this, we think its working. Misty is quite the affectionate girl. She gets along with other dogs, cats and kids! **I'm in a foster home, please call the shelter first!**
