Story
Hazel is a sweet, loyal 6–7-year-old, 90-lb girl, believed to be a Boxer/Lab mix, looking for the right FOREVER home. She is affectionate, smart, well-mannered and the perfect combination of active and relaxed. She LOVES chasing a ball non-stop, hiking and long walks, but is equally happy as a couch potato, relaxing beside her people. She loves other dogs and enjoys playing with them, although she can be leash-reactive and bark at some dogs while walking. She also has anxiety with loud noises, like fireworks and thunderstorms. She needs an adult-only home or home with older children, but no young children. After a baby joined her family, she became fearful as the baby became more mobile. She has generally chosen to move away from the child, but we know she needs a quieter, more predictable home. This is an incredibly difficult decision. She is DEEPLY loved, our goal is simply to find this sweet girl a safe, loving home where she can thrive and be happy for the rest of her life.

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 Lady 10 years old | Female Boxer | 54 lbs Don't let the gray on her face fool you. Lady still has plenty of pep in her step and a whole lot of love left to give. She was examined by our veterinarian yesterday and received a clean bill of health with zero concerns. She's simply a wonderful senior girl looking for a soft place to land and a family to call her own. Lady dreams of being the queen of her castle and would do best as the only animal in the home. She's great with kids, loves going for leisurely walks, and enjoys taking her time exploring every interesting smell along the way. Her signature look? That adorable little tongue that is almost always peeking out, making her impossible not to smile at. When we first shared Lady, so many people fell in love with her sweet face and goofy smile. We received lots of interest, but sadly no one followed through. While the world kept scrolling, Lady kept waiting. Senior dogs have a quiet kind of magic. They trade puppy chaos for gentle companionship, grateful eyes, and a heart that's ready to love with everything it has. Lady isn't asking for much, just a comfy bed, a few walks, lots of belly rubs, and someone who will keep their promise to bring her home. Could you be the happy ending this beautiful boxer has been waiting for? 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 Ace Ace is a 6-year-old Lab/Pitbull mix with a heart full of joy and a tail that rarely stops wagging. Weighing in at 55 lbs, he’s the perfect medium-sized companion for both playtime and chill time. This happy guy is a fetch enthusiast—seriously, if there’s a ball nearby, Ace is already halfway to retrieving it. Toys are his love language, and he’s perfectly content entertaining himself when you’re busy. Give him a good chew bone, and he’s in his element, happily settled and relaxed. Ace gets along well with laid-back, low-energy dogs, though he’d prefer a proper introduction first to make sure everyone vibes. He may also be able to live with cats, especially with slow, thoughtful introductions that let him adjust at his own pace. If you’re looking for a playful, easygoing companion who knows how to enjoy the simple things in life, Ace might just be your perfect match. 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.

Winnie: Professional Love Bug, Part-Time Herding Supervisor Meet **Winnie**, a 2-year-old Husky/GSD mix who has two speeds: **LOVE YOU** and **PLEASE LET ME HERD THAT.** This gorgeous girl is an absolute **LOVE BUG**. She is incredibly sweet, craves attention, and once she decides you're her person, congratulations... you've been adopted. Winnie is okay with other dogs, but she does have a little herding obsession. She seems to prefer calmer dogs who don't turn every day into a canine episode of *WWE*. Puppies? Well... let's just say they are **not her favorite coworkers.** She's a little shy when she first meets you, especially with men, but give her a little time and she warms up quickly. She is **not aggressive**, just a girl who likes to take a minute to decide if you're trustworthy. Because she's on the shy side, **older kids may be the best fit** for her. Cats? We're not completely sure yet, but we have a feeling Winnie might be able to coexist with a confident cat who isn't easily impressed by a 75-pound-ish furry hall monitor. Winnie is looking for a home where she can get lots of love, attention, patience, and maybe a few opportunities to supervise everyone's whereabouts. If you're looking for a sweet, silly, slightly bossy, **professional-grade snuggler with herding tendencies**, Winnie may be your girl. Winnie is ready to meet her people! 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 Jackson 5 years old | 70 lbs Jackson never imagined he would be starting over. After the heartbreaking loss of his owner, this sweet boy found himself in a shelter, trading the comfort of a familiar home for a kennel and wondering where his person went. Through it all, he has remained gentle, hopeful, and ready to share his big heart with someone new. At 70 pounds, Jackson is a handsome, lovable companion who still believes every day could be the day his forever family walks through the door. He enjoys attention, loves spending time with people, and would be happiest back in a home where he can simply be part of the family again. Jackson seems interested in other dogs, but a meet and greet is necessary to make sure everyone is a good fit. We're unsure how he feels about cats, and because of his size and enthusiasm, we're looking for a home with children 10 years and older. Losing the person he loved has already changed his world in ways he couldn't understand. What Jackson needs now is someone willing to help him write a new chapter filled with walks, cozy evenings, gentle words, and the security of knowing he'll never have to wonder where he belongs again. If you're looking for a loyal friend with a heart as big as his paws, Jackson is waiting patiently for the chance to love a family all over again. Could that family be yours? 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.
