Story
Meet Dusty! Have you ever wished your life came with its own four-legged comedian? Meet Dusty! This 80 lb Husky/Akita mix believes every walk is an expedition, every puddle is a luxury spa, and every day is the perfect day to be wonderfully ridiculous. If there's water nearby, expect a splash. If there's room to run, expect zoomies. If you're having a bad day, expect Dusty to fix it with his goofy grin and larger-than-life personality. Dusty has never met an adventure he didn't like, and he's pretty sure you were put on this earth to join him. Hiking? Yes. Long walks? Absolutely. Playing until everyone is laughing? That's his specialty. He's a super friendly guy who has a talent for making people smile without even trying. Life is simply more entertaining when Dusty is around. Dusty seems to enjoy the company of other dogs, but a meet and greet is required to make sure everyone agrees on the house rules. His opinion of cats is still a mystery... he hasn't submitted his official review yet. If your home could use a little more laughter, a lot more love, and an enthusiastic adventure buddy with a built-in sense of humor, Dusty is ready to report for duty. Just be warned... your camera roll is about to be 95% Dusty doing something hilariously adorable. 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. The shelter will contact individuals as they appear on the list. The adoption fee is $95 and you receive certificates for $50 towards spay/neuter and $10 towards rabies vaccine if not already done. All dogs are heartworm tested, receive a DHLPP, flea and tick treatment, and are dewormed.

Story
Meet Ozzy! 5-year-old Great Pyrenees Handsome, fluffy, and getting neutered soon! Have you ever wanted a giant, fluffy security guard who takes his job VERY seriously, even when nobody actually hired him? Well, meet Ozzy! Ozzy is a 5-year-old Great Pyrenees, which means he comes with a whole lot of fluff, a mind of his own, and approximately 47 opinions about how things should be run around the house. Great Pyrenees were bred to guard livestock, and if you know anything about this breed, you know they like having a job! Whether that's keeping an eye on the backyard, supervising the neighborhood squirrels, or making sure the mail carrier doesn't sneak up on the house, Ozzy will likely find himself something to manage. Ozzy is still new to us, so we're getting to know his personality. But here's what we've been told by his previous owners: Good with other dogs Good with cats Good with kids Of course, we'll continue learning more about him as he settles in! Now, before you fall in love with that handsome face, remember that Great Pyrenees aren't just oversized teddy bears. They're intelligent, independent dogs who were bred to think for themselves. They do best with families who understand their guardian instincts, appreciate their personalities, and can provide a secure environment with plenty of enrichment. And yes, barking at suspicious leaves may be included in the job description. Ozzy is looking for a family who will love him for everything that makes a Great Pyrenees special, from his big fluffy exterior to his even bigger personality. If you've been searching for a loyal companion who may also appoint himself Director of Neighborhood Security, Ozzy would love to review your application! 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. The shelter will contact individuals as they appear on the list. The adoption fee is $95 and you receive certificates for $50 towards spay/neuter and $10 towards rabies vaccine if not already done. All dogs are heartworm tested, receive a DHLPP, flea and tick treatment, and are dewormed.

Story
Meet Ollie! 5-month-old GSD/Border Collie mix 45 lbs of puppy love Sweet Ollie was surrendered to us after his owner had to move out of state and sadly couldn’t take him along. We promised his owner that we would find this special boy the BEST home, and that’s exactly what we plan to do! Ollie is a happy, playful puppy looking for an active family ready for lots of fun, adventures, and one BIG best friend! At only 5 months old, he already weighs 45 lbs, so this handsome boy still has plenty of growing to do. Great with other dogs Loves playing with kids Playful, active & full of puppy energy Sweet, social boy ready for a family of his own Because Ollie is still a puppy and doesn’t quite realize how big he is, we think children ages 5+ would be the best fit. We’re not sure how he feels about cats yet. Our guess is that he may want to chase them at first simply because they’re new and interesting, so slow, supervised introductions would be important. Ollie has already had one big change in his young life. Now he just needs the family who will make his next move his last. If you’re looking for a big, goofy, playful pup to grow up alongside your family, Ollie just might be your boy! 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. The shelter will contact individuals as they appear on the list. The adoption fee is $95 and you receive certificates for $50 towards spay/neuter and $10 towards rabies vaccine if not already done.

Story
Meet Rosie! Approx. 2-year-old female Pittie mix 45 lbs If happiness had four legs and a wagging tail, it would probably look a whole lot like Rosie! Rosie is still new to us, but one thing became obvious very quickly: this girl is PURE JOY. She approaches life with enthusiasm, excitement, and a whole lot of love. Adopt Rosie and we’re pretty sure boring days will become a thing of the past! Rosie LOVES kids! She’s an enthusiastic little wild child, though, so older children would probably be the best match simply because she may accidentally knock over a smaller kid while sharing all that happiness. Rosie can do well with male dogs, but she is not a fan of female dogs, so any canine siblings should be boys. We’re still unsure about cats. She may be able to adjust to living with them, especially if the cats have their own safe space while everyone gets used to one another. Don’t let her 45-pound size fool you because Rosie is STRONG! She’ll benefit from a family willing to continue working on her manners and help her learn how to channel all that enthusiasm. Rosie isn’t looking for a quiet life on the sidelines. She wants to be part of the fun, part of the family, and right in the middle of everything you do. If you’re looking for a happy, affectionate, slightly wild bundle of sunshine who will make you smile every single day, come meet Rosie! 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. The shelter will contact individuals as they appear on the list. The adoption fee is $95 and you receive certificates for $50 towards spay/neuter and $10 towards rabies vaccine if not already done.

Story
Meet Sage: CEO of Tennis Ball Retrieval & Splash Management Hi. I'm Sage. I'm 4 years old, and yes... I know I'm gorgeous. Thank you for noticing. My resume includes: Professional fetch enthusiast (I never get tired. You will.) Certified water quality inspector. Puddles, kiddie pools, lakes... I'll test them all. German Shepherd extraordinaire with ears that can hear a treat bag open from three rooms away. I'm great with kids though I do like to remind everyone that I could be in charge if needed. Think of me as management material. I also need to be the only pet in the home. Cats? Jury's still out. I've never had one on my committee. If your idea of fun includes endless games of fetch, adventures near the water, and having a loyal sidekick who's always ready for action, we should definitely meet. Throw the ball. I'll handle the rest. If interested, please call the shelter at 231-861-5395 and leave a message to be placed on this dog's adoption list.

Kona would be a great fit for: A family ready to give a puppy love, patience, and plenty of cuddle time Someone who wants a loyal companion to grow up with A home that will help her learn the ropes with positive training Kona has so much love to give and is just waiting for her person.
