Story
💛 Meet Lieutenant Dan AKA Dan the Man! This big, beautiful boy is the definition of gentle strength. He’s crate trained, walks well on leash (especially for how strong he is!), and has a calm, easygoing personality. Not only are his looks pure handsome.. his personality is top tier and he is truly a perfect little house hippo! He enjoys playing with toys here and there but isn’t the type to tear through the house — he’s laid back and careful, even for his size. When he puts his paws on you, it’s never rough — just his sweet way of saying hi. He can get a little nervous with loud noises or if he thinks he’s in trouble, and although he didn't have the best past, his heart is pure gold. He loves people, loves affection, and just wants to please. He’s still learning some basic commands and working on marking, but with time, patience, and a loving home, he’ll thrive. He shows positive body language when seeing other dogs and we think with proper introductions he would even enjoy having doggy friends! Cats unknown....we don't think he has met any yet! Great with kiddos! He’s a loyal, loving companion waiting for the right person to show him that he’s finally home. 💛 Could that be you?

Story
Meet Dolly!!!! Dolly came to us when she ended up in an overcrowded shelter in Detroit and needed a HERO! One of our AMAZING foster families scooped her up to safety and the rest is history. We estimate Dolly to be 2 years old and she weighs 52 lbs. Dolly is spayed, up to date on vaccines and has also been microchipped. She currently lives with older children, dogs and cats. She does great with dogs and teenagers but she is a little too interested in the cats and small children seem to make her nervous. We would recommend her going to a home without small children and cats. Dolly is also a super smart girl who has already mastered SIT and is both potty trained and crate trained. She is such a sweet girl and just adores her people and wants to be close for love and pets. So if you are looking to add this gorgeous girl to your family, please complete an application TODAY!!! *2 years old *52 lbs. of GORGEOUS *Spayed, UTD on vaccines, and chipped *Potty and Crate Trained *Super smart and eager to please *Has already mastered SIT *Dog and Kids 10+ friendly Application: https://peaceloveandpawsrescue.com/adopt%2Ffoster-application

Meet Bentley!!! Bentley came to us when he was found on the streets of Detroit and sadly no one came for him. A wonderful person took him in, has been providing him with SO much TLC, he has received his routine medical care and is now ready to find his FUREVER family. We estimate Bentley to be 1 year old and he currently weighs 41 lbs. He is up to date on vaccines, neutered and microchipped. Bentley LOVES romping around the yard with other dogs and is just the cutest when he gets the zoomies. Bentley is both potty trained and crate trained. He is a very smart boy who is learning to master SIT and COME. He would be a great dog to take to puppy class to learn more tricks and to bond with his new owner. Bentley has been around kids the ages of 2 and 11 years old and has done really well. (Unfortunately we do not know how he would be around cats at this time) So if you are looking to adda wonderful pup to your family, APPLY today!!!

Story
Meet Storm! ☀️ Storm is an absolute sweetheart who’s ready to find her forever family! This gentle girl is calm, affectionate, and loves everyone she meets — dogs, kids, and adults alike. She’s currently living with other dogs and enjoys playing with them before curling up for a cozy nap. Storm is crate-trained and sleeps quietly through the night, either in her crate or snuggled up with her family. She’s smart, food-motivated, and eager to please! She walks beautifully on a leash and enjoys going for walks or light hikes, but she’s not overly active — she’s just as happy relaxing at home with her people. Storm has no resource guarding issues, doesn’t mind car rides, and has been around children ages 4 and up with no issues. One of Storm’s cutest quirks? When you reach down to pet her, she’ll roll over like a cat for belly rubs — it’s absolutely adorable! Storm would love a family who can continue her potty training and give her lots of love. She’s an easygoing, happy girl who will make a wonderful companion for just about anyone! *Spayed, up to date on vaccines and microchipped *Dog and Kid Friendly ( Cats Unknown) *Crate Trained *Housetrained*Perfect mix of cuddly and playful Apply to meet her and make her a forever member of your family. https://peaceloveandpawsrescue.com/adopt%2Ffoster-application

Story
Meet Meelo: Professional Cuddle Expert & Part-Time Shoe Collector Meelo is a certified Velcro dog who believes personal space is just a suggestion. This adorable goofball has a PhD in Being Adorable and a minor in Toy Hoarding – he'll play with literally anything, including hair ties, because apparently those are peak entertainment. The Good Stuff: Meelo is convinced that all toys are community property and sharing is caring (your dog's toys? Also his toys. Your shoes? Definitely toys, but don't worry – he won't chew them, he just wants to carry them around like trophies). He's a social butterfly who may bark at strangers at first, but only because he's yelling "NEW FRIEND ALERT!" Once introduced, he's basically your new best friend's new best friend. This little shadow is great with other dogs and believes every dog park visit is a networking opportunity. He's an excellent leash walker who somehow missed the memo about pulling and lunging – he's just happy to be included in outdoor adventures. What Meelo Needs: Let's be honest: Meelo needs someone who enjoys having a furry barnacle attached to them 24/7. Work from home? PERFECT. He'll be your unpaid intern, napping under your desk or chewing bones while you're in Zoom meetings. Bathroom break? He'd like to join. Going to grab the mail? Why would you do that without him? He's crate-trained, but recently upgraded himself to bed status (post-surgery VIP treatment has spoiled him, and honestly, can you blame him?). He's mostly potty-trained – think of it as a work in progress, like a software beta version that occasionally has bugs but is getting better with each update. Deal-Breakers for Meelo: Blow dryers (the enemy) Being alone (his personal nightmare) The concept of "your bed" vs "his bed" (there is only "our bed" now) The Perfect Match: Someone who works from home and doesn't mind a co-worker who never contributes to the coffee fund A household with another dog so he has a buddy for when you dare to shower alone Active humans Patient people who understand that "sit" is a very complicated concept that requires extensive study. *2 years old *17 lbs of cuteness *Neuterer, up to date on vaccines and microchipped *LOVE to cuddle *Dog Friendly- Cats unknown *Crate Trainer *Working hard on potty training Apply now before someone else snatches up this professional snuggler and amateur shoe curator!
