Story
MEET ELLEElle is a sweet, hesitant Great Pyrenees mix who is learning what it means to feel safe in the domestic world. She was originally rescued as a stray alongside her litter of puppies, and while her past may be a mystery, it’s clear that life as a beloved household pet is still very new to her.Elle is nervous and unsure, and she needs a patient, gentle adopter who is willing to let her navigate new experiences at her own pace. She isn’t a dog who will immediately walk into a new home and know exactly what is expected of her. She’ll need kindness, consistency, gentle handling, and someone willing to help build her confidence as she learns that people, routines, and everyday household life can be safe.Her ideal home:• Patient, gentle and willing to give her time to adjust• No other dogs• No children recommended• Cats are unknown• A quieter, predictable home would likely suit her best* Fenced yardElle would greatly benefit from formal in-home training lessons with her new family. This would not only help her continue learning how to navigate the domestic world, but also help establish trust, communication, and structure with the people she’ll be learning to call her own.Elle isn’t looking for someone to rush her. She’s looking for someone willing to meet her where she is and show her, little by little, what being someone’s beloved dog can look like.She is fully vetted including spay, microchip & vaccines. Elle is 2-3 years old and about 65 lbs.Her adoption fee is $300. If you have questions about her not covered in this bio, please email us at projecthoperescue@gmail.com.

Story
Meet Skymir!Your 40-pound bundle of joy, wagging his way into your heart!Hi there! I’m Skymir — a lively, 1.5-year-old male black Lab mix with a heart full of love and a tail that never quits. I weigh about 40 pounds and carry a perfect mix of sweetness, smarts, and silliness.My story began in a southern shelter, where I ended up all alone as a puppy. It was a scary time, but a kind-hearted rescuer saw something special in me and gave me a second chance. Now I'm thriving in Michigan (near Coldwater!) and looking for my forever family to share all of life’s adventures.Here’s what you’ll love about me:* I’m playful, affectionate, and full of wiggles—especially when I see my foster siblings!* Give me a good, hard bone and I’m in heaven.*Squirrel-chasing? Yes, please!* I’m a smart cookie who learns fast, especially when treats are involved.* I love cozy mornings in my crate and sunbathing on warm afternoons.While I can be a little shy at first, I warm up quickly with a gentle touch and kind words. I’m working on my manners (sometimes I get too excited and jump up), but with a little patience and consistency, I’m learning every day.My dream home?A fenced-in yard would be perfect for all my zoomies and sniffari adventures! I’d do great with another playful pup or an active family who wants a loyal companion. I'm happiest when I'm with my people or four-legged friends—I'm not a fan of being alone for too long.If you're looking for a sweet, energetic buddy who will love you endlessly and make every day brighter, I might just be your guy.Let’s make forever happen — come meet me and fall in love!I’m fully-vetted, housebroken, crate-trained and ready to join your family with an adoption fee of $300.

Story
Hi, my name is Truffles, I'm a, 35 pound 8 month old female terrier mix.I was found as a stray and was very skinny and was a little afraid. People were really nice to me but I needed more of a home setting so I went to a rescue. My foster mom said I'm very sweet and I love to play, then I like to cuddle with my person. I get along good with other dogs, I will need a fenced in yard to play in and another dog that likes to play would be great! I would be good with children, but I'm young so I still jump up some. I like to play too rough with cats so best to find a home without them. After I play or when I'm tired I like to sit beside my person.​I walk good on a leash and I like going for walks. I'm spayed, microchipped, crate trained and potty trained and my adoption fee is $350.00.If you have any questions not answered in this bio, email us at projecthoperescue@gmail.com, or to fill out an adoption application, visit our website at www.projecthoperescue.org.September 11, 2026, 4:03 pm

Story
Hi, my name is Charlie. I'm a 4 year old, 48 pound beagle! I could stand to lose a few pounds, but I am solid! I was rescued from a place where I wasn't treated very good. A nice young lady contacted Project Hope to see if they would take me. Now I'm safe in my foster home and I'm ready to find my furever home where I will be treated good!My foster mom said I'm what you call a counter surfer, but I can't help it. It smelled so good, and I am a beagle with a good smeller, but I listen when she says off! I am very good when you are eating your meal. I just lay down and sleep until you are done eating!I get along with all dogs and cats. I would be good with children. I'm not a big barker. I like going for walks, and going for rides in the car. I do zoomies once in awhile, A fenced in yard is required since I like to follow my nose. I like being with my person and getting belly rubs and laying beside them when they watch TV. I don't like being crated, but I do settle down, but I'm good not being crated. I'm doing good on potty training. I'm neutered, microchipped, up to date on my vaccines and ready to find my forever home!My adoption fee is $300.00 If you have any questions not answered in this bio, email us at projecthoperescue@gmail.com.  To apply to adopt, please visit our website at www.projecthoperescue.org.September 11, 2026, 4:03 pm
