Story
Where did you acquire your pet? It was sometime near the beginning of the pandemic. May of 2020 when I was given Lily by a friend who found her wandering around his home on the West Side of Detroit. She weighed only about 20 lbs then and was super shy and scared of everything. She doesn’t like the sound of bells and flinched at the sounds of cars. She slept all the time and was such a gentle pup. How old is your pet? Lily’s made up birthday is 01/11/2020, making her 3 years old What are you looking for in a new home? I want Lily to go to a home with a family who will give her lots of love and attention. She loves playing fetch and is extremely friendly. She loves to run and to be outside. She loves car rides. She is so gentle around my baby nephews and is the smartest dog I’ve ever had. What adjectives would you use to describe your pet? Patient, Intelligent, Playful, Beautiful, Kind, Soft

Story
Gracie is a a very energetic dog. She absolutely loves people and will lick your face. She has a huge personality and a bit of sass to her but she will always give you the best cuddles at night. She is crate trained and loves to go in the car. She is not good with other dogs so needs a home for herself. She has been the most amazing dog and my absolute best friend. She deserves a home that can give her so much more freedom to run around and people who can give her the most love.

Story
We are sadly rehoming our 3 year old Golden Retriever Thor. He has resource guarding issues, and anxiety. He we do not have the time or resources to work with him further on this due to a baby on the way. He is from a breeder, up to date on vaccinations, house trained, crate trained, affectionate, energetic. He generally does well with our other dog and two younger kids. He does growl when he needs space from them. He has never bitten anyone. He would do best in a home with a fenced yard, older kids and no other dogs in the home. He will need someone committed to continuing his training and his medication. Our priority is finding him a loving, permanent home where he can thrive. He will come with a crate, his toys and some food and treats. If you think you’d be a good fit, please reach out with a little information about yourself and your experience with dogs.
