Story
Meet Gemma! Female grey and white pitty mix Estimated DOB 03/2021 Gemma was pulled from a county shelter where she was struggling in such a busy environment. She will need an experienced adopter who is willing to continue the work being done with her foster. She has some separation anxiety, we believe from being abandoned at some point in her life. She's a STAGE FIVE clinger. She would not do well in a home with cats. We are unsure about dogs as we are taking it very slowly. She is not reactive to the bigger foster dog in her home but definitely reactive to the smaller dog through the door. She loves going for car rides but has this weird quirk where she likes to have her window down and she bites at the air blowing past. She loves to sleep under the covers and she does this most gentle paw at you to let you know that she needs you to lift up the blanket to let her in. While she does have separation anxiety, she doesn't destroy anything other than to sometimes tip over the food and water dishes. She does bark at thunder. Location: Gemma is currently in a foster home. Medical: All dogs are spayed/neutered, current on age approriate vaccines (rabies, distemper, Leptospirosis, and Bordetella), microchipped, negative heartworm tested, given flea/tick/heartworm prevention and dewormer, and any other veterinary care that is needed prior to adoption.

Story
Meet Goose! Male brown and white pitty mix Estimated DOB: 07/2023 Updated bio information (3/15/25): Goose is very sweet and can get excited to see new people, but is very gentle and has great house manners. He takes medication nightly for anxiety but his current foster sees it more as boredom rather than anxiety. We're hopeful in the right home that he'll be able to be weaned off of these. He skin picks when he's bored. Initially it seemed like it could be allergies, but everywhere that's covered with a sweater is healing and everywhere that's not...he still struggles with. He would excel with a job. He has toys and blankets, but is not really interested in the toys the way some other pups are. His current foster hasn't really seen him rough play at all and she has 3 dogs of her own plus fosters (both cats and puppies) Unless the other dogs are really pushing him to play, she hasn't seen the rough play behavior. He's 150% solid on crate and potty training. __________________________________________________________ Goose was on the euthanasia list at Michigan shelter and we were able to pull him after finding a foster at the last minute. This guy is good with everything - dogs, kids, cats (he's afraid of them) and of course humans. He is very high energy and large. His fosters are working with him but he does like to jump up on people so may knock young children down. He will need someone who will be able to exercise him or that has a high energy dog who plays rough like he does. Location: Goose is currently in a foster home. Medical: All dogs are spayed/neutered, current on age approriate vaccines (rabies, distemper, Leptospirosis, and Bordetella), microchipped, negative heartworm tested, given flea/tick/heartworm prevention and dewormer, and any other veterinary care that is needed prior to adoption. Fill out an application at www.figandfriendspetrescue.org/adopt if you are interested in adopting him.

Story
Meet Dante, our 1-year-old foster pit bull ready for his forever home. He has been with us for 5 months while we nurtured him back to health. Hes affectionate, loyal, energetic. Hes well-trained, responding to basic commands, fully potty trained. We are seeking a family offering an active lifestyle. Ideally, Dante needs to be the only dog, with a securely fenced yard in a quiet area. He loves walks, chew toys, play fetch, cuddles. His allergies are managed through a specific diet (see pet diet). Hes neutered fully vaccinated. While great with humans, he cautious around other dogs, especially males. His new family should understand pit bull ownership responsibilities. He does best in a calm environment. His perfect home would combine regular exercise, consistent training, lots of love. He is seeking a family wholl appreciate his loving nature and commit to his needs. Learn more about me on my website: https://mailchi.mp/af707ba926a7/meet-dante

Story
Oprah is a little gem of a dog. She is easy to handle, and LOVES to walk and explore. She can be a little timid and shy at times, but this may be due to her sensitivity to the loud noises and daily commotion of shelter life. Once she is outside, she relaxes and you get to see her happy, silly side. She is not over-reactive and her activity level seems to be on the lower side. She's a smaller-sized mature gal, and has the potential to be an amazing best friend. She is sweet, sweet, sweet!!! Oprah is up to date with her vaccinations, spayed, heartworm negative, microchipped and ready to go HOME!
