Story

Do you have room in your heart for a lovebug who deserves a second chance at happiness? 12 year-old Ellie came from an owner surrender when her main caretaker died suddenly and his spouse was not able to care for her. Ellie is quite lean and muscular at 15 lbs., and is fit and active! She has come such a long way since coming into her foster home -- she was not used to living with other dogs and she now joyfully zooms around the backyard with her foster siblings, even keeping pace with the youngest 1-year-old pup! Ellie is a good watchdog, but sometimes has to be reminded to stop barking. She is house-trained when kept on a schedule. Since life has been hard for Ellie, she craves attention and is looking for a home with someone who is retired or works from home, and perhaps a canine companion too! She can be an escape artist and will need a very secure fenced yard. Ellie is very sweet and loving and really deserves a comfy home and steady companionship.

Story

Meet Peeps, a one-year-old sweetheart with a playful side and plenty of love to give! This handsome guy enjoys toys, especially balls and plushies, and is always happy to soak up attention. He loves being close to his people and will happily lean in for pets and give you a few kisses, too!Peeps is still learning about the world and can be a little nervous in new situations, so he’ll appreciate a patient family who lets him build confidence at his own pace. He’s also working on keeping his mouth busy with toys instead of hands, and he’ll need some help learning his manners as he grows.Peeps may enjoy having a canine companion with slow introductions, and his family should be mindful around food and other resources. Because he has a curious, speedy side, secure doors, leash walks, and supervised outdoor time will be important to keep this adventurous boy safe.Peeps is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccines. He’s looking for a loving home with older kids who will help him feel safe, keep his toys handy, and show him all the good things life has to offer. Could Peeps be your new best buddy? If you think so, come meet Peeps here at the shelter or reach out for more information! adoptions@adoptlansing.org or 517-626-6060

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
