Meet Tanker: The One-Dog Welcome Committee! Age: 1 year Breed: Pittie Mix Neutered: Yup! Ready for his forever home! If you’ve ever wished your dog would greet you at the door like you’re the most important human on planet Earth… meet Tanker.

Tanker is a toy enthusiast, specializing in squeakers, stuffies, and anything that bounces. He approaches playtime with the energy of a toddler who just learned what sugar is. He’s also friendly with other dogs, making him the perfect buddy for playdates or a built-in companion for your current pup. He believes in sharing toys… unless it’s the really good one, and then he may politely recommend joint custody. Tanker is fun, sweet, and ready to fill your life with laughter, love, and a little chaos in the best way possible. Come meet him—Tanker is ready to roll into your heart!

Story
Hi. I’m Titan. Big name, big heart, even bigger smile. I’m a 5-year-old German Shepherd, neutered, and very friendly. Like, “hi new best friend” friendly. I love people, I’m great with kids, and I get along well with other dogs. Cats though? We’ve agreed to live separate lives. I’ve got a lot of energy and a brain that really wants a job. I’m super eager to learn and would love some basic manners training. I promise I’ll try my hardest. I’m the kind of guy who watches your face closely and waits for you to tell me what to do next. House rules? I know them. I’m bathroom trained and I stay off the furniture like the respectable gentleman I am. Couches are nice, but your approval is nicer. I’d do best with an active family who wants a loyal sidekick, a walking buddy, and a dog who’s always excited to be included in whatever you’re doing. If you’re looking for a smart, loving shepherd who’s ready to be your Titan, I’m right here… tail wagging and waiting. If interested, please call the shelter at 231-861-5395 and leave a message to be placed on this dog's adoption list. No obligation, but it reserves your place in line on the list.

Story
Meet Harley – The Shy Guy with the Showstopper Ears! Harley is a 1-year-old pittie boy with the kind of ears that deserve their own fan club. They flop, they perk, they tilt — honestly, they might be his secret superpower for melting hearts. He’s a little timid when meeting new people (he’s still figuring out that not everyone’s a vet with a thermometer), but once he decides you’re safe, you’ll have a loyal shadow who just wants to be near you. With a little patience, some tasty treats, and maybe a squeaky toy or two, Harley will bloom into the best buddy you could ever ask for. Harley’s perfect home would be one that understands that good things take time — and great things have adorable ears. If you’re ready to give this sweet boy the love and confidence he deserves, Harley is waiting just for you! Harley — timid heart, perfect ears, and even bigger love to give!

Story
Meet your future best friend This 8-week-old female Husky mix puppy is a tiny bundle of wonder, soft paws, and curious eyes that are just beginning to take in the world. She’s at that magical age where everything is new and fascinating. Toys, shoelaces, gentle voices, and cuddles all rank very high on her list of favorite things. She has the sweet, soulful nature Huskies are known for, mixed with playful puppy energy and a heart that’s ready to bond deeply with her people. She’s learning what it means to be loved and is already showing signs of being a loyal little shadow who wants to be wherever you are. This baby is looking for a home that understands puppies take patience, consistency, and a lot of love. In return, she’ll give you a lifetime of devotion, laughter, and those unforgettable firsts. First sit. First zoomies. First time she falls asleep in your arms. If you’re ready to grow together and turn this tiny pup into an amazing dog, she’s ready to start her forever story with you If interested, please call the shelter at 231-861-5395 and leave a message to be placed on this dog's adoption list.

Story
Is such a good dog. Sweet with the children and isn’t very hyper. Loves to cuddle and get pets all day. He does get zoomies sometimes, but they only last for a minute or two. His behavioral problems are with food. He has very bad food aggression. You can’t eat without him standing around waiting for some, and if he does get some, he will growl and try to bite you if you try to take it away. He has bitten before a few weeks ago, but it didn’t cause much damage. We just do not have the ability to give him the training he needs, which is upsetting as he is perfect every other way.

June is as cute as a bug!!!!! This little lady is the most adorable, sweet thing ever. She has lots of energy as well. She will need a home that can keep up with her happy energy and needing to know she is loved. She is fearful of other dogs when they are loud and aggressive. If you think you have the energy to keep up with this pretty pitty, then give me a call!
