Story
Meet Spaghetti! 🍝🐾 Spaghetti is an 11-week-old Lab mix with an EXTRA big heart and an even bigger love for cuddles! Over the last week, this sweet boy has become an even bigger snuggle bug (if that’s even possible!). He’s a total Mama’s boy, too! If his brother gets a little too rough during playtime or he thinks he might be in trouble, you’ll find him hiding behind his foster mama’s legs or tucked away in a corner. 🥹 Spaghetti lives for affection and will happily climb right into anyone’s lap to soak up all the love and cuddles he can get. He’s also a smart little guy who patiently sits for his dinner and heads right into his crate when it’s bedtime. When he’s not busy snuggling, Spaghetti loves playing with his foster siblings and making friends with the neighborhood dogs. He has the perfect mix of playful puppy energy and sweet, cuddly charm. This boy is SUCH a big love, and he’s ready to find a family who will give him all the snuggles his little heart desires. Could Spaghetti be your new best friend? ❤️ Adoption application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HPH/Dog

Story
💛🐾 LYLA IS LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO WILL LET LOVE TAKE ITS TIME. 🐾💛 Found alone in Detroit’s Rouge Park after reportedly being dumped, Lyla was frightened and unsure who to trust. Our volunteer spent hours patiently earning her trust before she felt safe enough to get into the car. ❤️‍🩹 Now safe with Happy Paws Haven, Lyla is looking for a home that understands trust isn’t something you can rush. 🏡 Lyla’s ideal home: 🐾 A quiet, adult-only home, no children. 🐾 An only-pet home. She hasn’t had much positive exposure to dogs, and she chases cats. 🐾 A securely fenced yard. 🐾 Someone experienced with fearful dogs who need time to warm up to unfamiliar people. 🐾 A patient, gentle adopter who will respect her space and never force affection or interactions. Lyla may not come running into your arms when you first meet her. She needs someone willing to show up calmly, follow her pace, and give her time to feel secure. That first meeting may be about simply sharing space, and that’s okay. 💛 Meet-and-greets can begin after November 16, 2026. Please be prepared for a gradual introduction process and potentially multiple visits as she gets to know you. We’re looking for someone who sees the value in every small step: choosing to come closer, relaxing in your presence, and slowly learning that she can count on you. 🥹❤️ 📩 If you have the experience and home Lyla needs, please complete an adoption application to learn more about our adoption process. https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HPH/Dog Please share to help us find her patient person. Her journey began with someone willing to wait, and her next chapter deserves that same kindness. 💛🐾

Yes 🐕 Leash Trained? Yes 🏠 House Trained? Yes Tuff may be small around 14 pounds, but he makes up for it with personality and confidence. He loves being near his person and is happy to sit beside you or climb into your lap. He can be a little reserved with strangers at first, but once he warms up, he’s ready to go. Tuff gets along well with large dogs and enjoys both indoor and outdoor time. He is also surprisingly athletic - he can vertical jump more than two feet and is FAST when he gets moving. He appears to be house trained, although that hasn’t been fully confirmed. Tuff likes to know where his person is and will let you know when he’s ready to have their attention. 🐾 A little more about Tuff, from his foster! At around 14 pounds, Tuff is a little guy with a big personality! Confident, affectionate, and friendly, he loves being close to his person—whether that means sitting beside you or making himself comfortable in your lap. He happily greets strangers and is nonreactive on walks. 💛 Tuff gets along well with dogs of all sizes and enjoys both relaxing indoors and having fun outside. Don’t let his size fool you—this little athlete is FAST and can jump more than two feet straight up! His foster describes him as laid-back, obedient, and very responsive when called. He’s fully house-trained, crate-trained, and walks well on a leash. He loves to play and can get a little vocal when excitement takes over. 🐶 Above all, Tuff loves companionship. He likes knowing where his person is and will happily let you know when it’s time for a little attention. If you’re looking for a cuddly sidekick with a playful spark, Tuff could be your guy! 🏡💕 Located in Metro Detroit, MI.
