Story
Meet Carlos – Looking for His Forever Home ❤️ It is with a very heavy heart that I am looking for a loving forever home for Carlos. Due to personal health circumstances, I am no longer able to give him the time, exercise, attention, and playtime he deserves. My only goal is to find him a family where he will be happy, loved, and able to thrive. Carlos is a handsome 7-month-old puppy with the most beautiful big, round eyes and an adorable personality. He is one of five siblings, and all of his brothers and sisters have already found wonderful homes. Now it's Carlos's turn. Carlos is full of energy, curious, playful, and incredibly spunky. He loves to run, explore, and play, so he needs an active family that can keep up with his adventurous spirit. If you're looking for a calm, low-energy dog, Carlos may not be the right fit. In my opinion, Carlos would make an excellent companion for a family with children who enjoy playing and spending time outdoors. Priority to family with children.

Story
Scooter is a great dog! We adopted him at 1 month and 26 days old from Jackson animal shelter. He came from a puppy mill in Mississippi the night before we picked him up. He had mange on his ears, paws, tail, but after we brought him home and gave him much needed TLC, you would never be able to tell. he is currently 5 now. He is very playful, listens well unless hes left alone for more then 7 hours at a time with no breaks then he can be very anxious and needy in his behavior. He LOVES outdoors, walks, runs and ball play. He loves to sun bathe and explore and is a HUGE fan of playing in the water! He is very protective of his home and family, but is welcoming to those we welcome in the home. He has been crate trained, but hasnt needed to be crated for years as he is fine in the home out of it. We havent experienced what he would be like living with another dog, but we used to take him to a dog park often. He did very well as long as no sharing of toys, food or water was involved.

Story
Cassius was born December 30, 2018. It would be best if he could be adopted with his brother. They have been together since birth. They are indoor dogs but will let you know when they need to go out. Cassius is very vocal some may be intimidated by his deep voice. He loves chest scratches and head rubs. He is microchipped. He has some skin allergies but seem to be doing better since we moved to Inkster. We experienced a house fire and had to move to a smaller location that already has dogs and the neighbors keep complaining. We found out that in Detroit and Inkster the ordinance only allows 4 pets per household. This in the only place that we could find so I have to rehome Cassius and his brother Cal-El ASAP. He eat Pedigree beef and Lamb but also like cooked chicken and rice and green beans and cheese. He has a spiked collar, leash, vest , large puppy pad, a large comforter, a raised dog bed and a bolster bed. Again i am hoping he and his brother can be adopted together
