Story
Hello! Meet Eros (air-roas) he is 1 years old and 5 months. Eros is very high energy, but is also a big napper. He loves to go on runs and bike rides. Eros is a big chewer and comes with lots of hard toys to munch on, he especially loves horse hooves and goat horns. Eros loves to cuddle and will lay just about anywhere you let him. He enjoys swimming and enjoys the snow even more. Eros is light grey with brown brindling in the sunlight and about 65lbs. He loves to be outside as much as possible. Eros has been trained in the basics and responds best to a more dominating lead. Eros also does great at the vet and does well with nail trimming. He really is the best boy and it saddens me to let him go, but due to some unexpected occurrences I’m becoming less and less able to give him the time he deserves. I have created a binder with everything you need to know about him to help the transition.

Story
Kanan is a very sweet boy who loves to sleep, eat, and cuddle. He has dermatitis so his skin is pretty irritated and he does itch it frequently. He gets along with all dogs and all people, he’s just a bit protective over food against other dogs. He doesn’t bark and doesn’t love to exercise, though you can get him to go on walks! He needs to be with someone who can take time to help his skin and just give him more time and energy than we are able to :(

Story
Gus and Charlie bundle: Charlie- black and white mutt pup who we adopted from Petsmart via Lansing Humane society in 2018. His litter was brought from Tennessee. He spent his puppy days running around in our yard and playing with all the tennis balls and frisbees he could carry. He has always enjoyed snuggling on the couch and sleeping with his legs straight up in the air. He is very high energy even though he was fixed when we got him. We wish we had the ability to take him for walks. We have a large yard and he loves to be outside but he still wants to go, go, go. Which is hard with kids. He loves his two human baby brothers but we have always tried to keep a safe distance for everyone involved. He has a separate room that he and his fur brother share. His fur brother is named Gus and is the other half of the Gus and Charlie bundle. We are looking to find a place that is better than what we can offer him, someone or a family that can give them all the love they deserve.

Story
Blu is a purebred, about to be 6-year-old, spayed and chipped German Shepard. She was obtained from a breeder in Michigan. She is extremely loyal and protective of her family. She loves to play and run around. Her favorite spoiled snack is crackers. A highly intelligent and quick learning dog. We live in a new smaller subdivision now and are doing her a disservice by keeping her in a smaller yard. She does better in areas that have a little more space for her to play. She loves to run with endless energy and an extremely athletic dog. We also have another new dog and does not agree nor do well with other dogs. We are having a hard time making the decision, but it is the best for all parties involved. You will be blown away by this dog's intelligence!! She knows what you are going to do, even before you do it. It is amazing to watch. You will always have a companion. Thank you for your assistance in adopting our Blu Bear. :)
