Story
Meet Pyro!Pyro is a 7-month-old puppy with a playful side and a lot of personality waiting to come out. He loves toys, enjoys a good game of tug, and is always happy to accept a tasty treat.Pyro can be a little unsure when people reach out to touch him, so he does best when he gets to make the first move. Give him some treats, a little space, and some time, and you’ll see him start to relax. Once he’s outside and feeling more comfortable, his playful puppy side really starts to shine.Pyro has done well with his littermates and is curious about other dogs, but he can be a little nervous when things get too wild. Slow introductions will help him feel comfortable and give him the chance to make new friends at his own pace.He’d do best with older kids who can understand that sometimes you have to let a guy come to you. He’s also still working on all those important puppy skills, including housetraining.If you’re looking for a playful young pup who loves toys, treats, and a good game of tug, Pyro is ready to meet you—and he may just tug his way right into your heart.Pyro is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccines. If Pyro might be a good fit for your home, come visit him at the shelter or reach out with any questions. adoptions@adoptlansing.org 517-626-6060

Story
Daisy is an adorable 8-month-old pup who is full of personality, energy, and affection! This sweet girl loves rump scratches, leaning in for pets, playing with toys, and being around her people. She already knows “sit” and is working on “down”—she’s a smart girl who is ready to keep learning!Daisy is still very much an adolescent, so she’s working on her puppy manners. She can get excited and jump up or gently mouth hands when she’s feeling playful. With patience, positive reinforcement, plenty of exercise, and lots of appropriate toys and chews, she’ll continue learning how to be her best self.She’s interested in other dogs but can be overwhelmed by rough play, so slow introductions will be important. Because Daisy is an enthusiastic pup, everyone in the household—including children—should meet her before adoption to make sure everyone is comfortable with her energetic personality.If you’re looking for a fun-loving, affectionate young dog who is ready to grow, learn, and make you smile every day, Daisy may be your girl!Daisy is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccines. Come visit Daisy today or reach out for more information! adoptions@adoptlansing.org or 517-626-6060

Story
Meet Hopper, a 7-month-old pup with enough bounce to live up to his name! This playful guy is full of energy and loves meeting people, especially when treats are involved. He already knows “sit” and is learning that keeping all four paws on the floor gets him even more attention.Hopper is a fun-loving, wiggly guy who enjoys playing with other dogs and may do well with a canine friend who can keep up with his energy. He’s still learning his manners and would benefit from basic obedience training, plenty of exercise, and activities that help him practice settling down.Because Hopper can be a little enthusiastic with his greetings, we recommend older kids and that everyone in the household meets him before adoption. If you’re looking for a playful young dog to grow and learn with, Hopper might be your guy!Hopper is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccines. Come visit Hopper here at the shelter, or reach out for more information! adoptions@adoptlansing.org or 517-626-6060

Story
Meet Mortimer, a sweet 2-year-old guy who loves being around his people! Mortimer is social and enjoys getting pets and treats, and he seems especially happy when he can climb up beside you for some quality couch or lap time.Mortimer is still working on his manners and would benefit from some basic training, especially learning to keep all four paws on the floor when greeting people. He’s also working on his house-training and may need a little extra patience and structure as he settles into his new home.When meeting other dogs, Mortimer is interested in sniffing and checking things out, but he may need some help learning to give other dogs space. With a slow introduction and the right match, he may be able to live with another dog.Mortimer has a strong history of chasing chickens, so a home without free-roaming chickens would be best unless they can be safely separated. Older kids are recommended, and everyone in the home should meet Mortimer before adoption.If you’re looking for a cuddly companion who would love to hang out by your side, Mortimer could be your guy!Mortimer is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccines.Come meet Mortimer at the shelter today or reach out for more information! adoptions@adoptlansing.org or 517-626-6060

Story
Andre is a sweet, sensitive dog who has lived successfully with children and cats. He can be very stressed by unfamiliar animals and changes in social dynamics, so we recommend a home without other dogs. He will need slow introductions if living with a cat. Andre also becomes very stressed with handling, especially nail trims and veterinary care, and will do best with an experienced adopter who can use fear-free handling techniques. He has also shown a strong tendency to escape, so secure supervision outdoors will be important while he adjusts to his new home. All family members are recommended to meet Andre prior to adoption.Andre is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on his vaccines and preventatives, so he`s ready to head home with his forever family. Interested in adopting Andre? Call us at (517) 626-6060 or email adoptions@adoptlansing.org for more information.

Meet Blaze, a sweet 7-month-old boy who is still learning about the world and discovering his confidence.The shelter environment can be overwhelming for Blaze, but he is doing his best. He enjoys treats, investigating toys, exploring outside, and staying close to his handlers. Once outside, he seems more comfortable and confident, giving us a glimpse of his curious and playful personality.Blaze can be nervous in new situations and may need some time to adjust.

We recommend older children, and everyone in the home should meet Blaze before adoption.Blaze has lived with his littermates without issue. He has been curious but somewhat unsure when meeting other dogs, so a slow introduction and thoughtful management would be important if he has a canine companion.Like any young dog, Blaze is still working on his housetraining and learning how to navigate the world. With patience, consistency, and encouragement, this sweet boy has plenty of room to blossom into a wonderful companion.Blaze is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccines. Is Blaze your perfect match? Come visit him at the shelter or reach out for more information. adoptions@adoptlansing.org or 517-626-6060
