‼️THIS IS A COURTESY LISTING FOR HAPPY PAWS HAVEN CO (happypawshaven.pet) ROYAL OAK, MI. ‼️FOR MORE INFORMATION, OR TO APPLY TO ADOPT ZEUS AND ZORA, GO TO https://happypawshaven.pet/adopt-foster/#sl_embed&page=shelterluv_wrap_1733926622%2Fembed%2Fanimal%2F213548844 ‼️BONDED PAIR AVAILABLE ONLY THROUGH HAPPY PAWS HAVEN CO. ♦️MUST BE ADOPTED TOGETHER Some dogs are happiest with their people. Zeus and Zora are happiest with each other. 🖤 This bonded pair 🐾🐾 has built a quiet little world together, and they’re looking for a home willing to open their heart to both of them. While their personalities are different, they balance each other beautifully. 🖤Zeus (male, 6 years) is the more sensitive of the two. New people and sudden movements can make him cautious at first, especially around larger men, but once he feels safe? He turns into a complete love bug. Zeus loves to follow his people from room to room, curl up close, and be part of whatever you’re doing. He still has a playful side too and enjoys tug toys and roughhousing around with Zora. He’s learning that the world isn’t so scary and continues to gain confidence every day. 🖤Zora (female, 8 years) is the calm, steady presence in the pair. She’s more laid back, happiest lounging nearby or curling up on you like a giant teddy bear while you relax. She’s not much for playtime and would prefer a peaceful home without younger, overly energetic dogs. Zora can be sensitive to noises and unfamiliar sounds, but once she settles into a routine, she relaxes beautifully and becomes incredibly affectionate. Together, they: ✔️ Are bonded and rely on each other for comfort ✔️ Love spending time outside with their people ✔️ Walk wonderfully together ✔️ Are eating well and adjusting nicely in foster care ✔️ Enjoy a calm routine and quiet companionship ✔️ Are affectionate, loyal, and deeply loving once they trust you Zeus may occasionally react when seeing other dogs on walks, but he redirects well with guidance and continues to improve. Both dogs thrive with patience, consistency, and a calm environment where they can feel secure. These two don’t need perfection. They just need someone willing to give them the chance to stay together. 🐾 And once they trust you? You’ll never question whether it was worth it.🖤

Story
Benny is a loving 7-year-old Goldendoodle who will turn 8 this October. He is a wonderful family dog with a sweet temperament, affectionate personality, and a gentle nature that makes him a great companion for both adults and children.Benny has been a cherished member of our family and brings joy wherever he goes. He enjoys spending time with his people, being part of family activities, and receiving plenty of love and attention. He is well-established in his routines and has the friendly, loyal traits that make Goldendoodles such exceptional pets.Due to significant life changes following a divorce and an increase in work-related travel, I am no longer able to provide Benny with the time, consistency, and companionship he deserves. This has been an incredibly difficult decision, but my priority is finding him a loving, stable home where he can continue to thrive.I am seeking a caring individual or family who can offer Benny the attention and affection he deserves.

Story
Vader is currently on a brief medical hold pending upcoming dental surgery. We are continuing to accept applications for him and he will be ready for his new home in a few short weeks! Vader is a six-year-old gentleman with a calm spirit and movie-star good looks. He came into rescue after being surrendered when his previous owner was away from home too often to give him the time and care he deserved. Despite the changes in his life, Vader’s heart remains wide open. This soulful boy can’t wait to find his forever home. Vader is friendly, playful, and eager to meet new canine friends. He’s learned to respect limits set by his foster dog siblings and knows when enough play is enough. Like most Danes, Vader has no concept of his size. He embraces the world and meets new people with all the spatial awareness of a moose trying to sneak in to share your recliner. 😉 Vader is affectionate, loyal, and happiest when he’s with his people. He does experience some anxiety when left alone, which is understandable after spending long, lonely days waiting for his original family to return. This boy loves so completely that even short separations from his humans can be difficult. While he can be left to free roam while his humans are gone, Vader’s perfect life includes people that are home most of the time in an environment where he is free to be as near as his heart desires. If he can see or hear you, he wants nothing more than to be close enough to show you all the love in his heart, even if that means simply laying at (or even on!) your feet. Vader is a smart cookie - he knows how to open sliders and turn doorknobs to get them opened. He’s even accidentally locked a door or two trying to open it up. He rides beautifully in the car and knows his basic commands. He’s a strong boy that is still polishing up his leash manners. He has never been crated and isn’t particularly interested in starting now — he much prefers lounging near his humans. Vader is truly a gem — the perfect blend of maturity and lovable goofiness. He is ready to give his whole heart to a family who can give him the time, stability, and love he’s been waiting for.

Story
Nelson is a 2-year-old Bulldog/Cattle Dog mix who is equal parts sweetheart, comedian and professional ball chaser! 🎾 He is playful, affectionate, incredibly smart and VERY food motivated, so he loves training and learning new things.Nelson is housebroken, walks nicely on leash, travels great in the car and lives peacefully with cats. His favorite thing in the world is playing fetch, but he also loves belly rubs and simply being with his people.Nelson needs a home with someone who has time to play, train and include him in everyday life. Older children are likely best, as he can still jump when excited and occasionally shows some Cattle Dog herding tendencies.He can be selective with other dogs and reactive toward dogs on leash or behind a fence, which has significantly improved. A dog-savvy adopter willing to continue his training would be ideal.Nelson is funny, loving, eager to learn and a really, really good dog. For the right person, he will be an incredible best friend. ❤️

Gunther

Great Dane

Male, 2 yrs 1 mo

Size
(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Gunther found his way back to our rescue through no fault of his own. His previous adopter made the difficult decision to retire and relocate, and felt that a young giant-breed dog was no longer the right fit for their new lifestyle. At just 2 years old, Gunther is a happy, joyful boy who is still learning about the world around him. He had limited exposure to everyday experiences such as walks, meeting other dogs, and routine veterinary visits, so many things are still new to him. Gunther is new to leash manners and will need the assistance of calm, patient humans who will follow through with some professional training to show him the way. Gunther is incredibly eager to please, smart, and highly food-motivated—the perfect combination for success. With patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, he is sure to blossom. Gunther is always happy and he loves being with his human and “helping” with daily chores like laundry and yard work. Because Gunther can be cautious in unfamiliar situations, slow introductions and gentle guidance are essential. When faced with something that makes him uncomfortable, his instinct is to quietly remove himself rather than react. Gunther also has a history of being intimidated around food by a small dog in his previous home, so he is looking for a home without small dogs where he can feel secure and confident. He is fully potty trained and loves being in his crate. If you’re willing to give this gentle giant the time and support he deserves, Gunther will reward you with loyalty, affection, and plenty of joyful moments.

Story
We adopted Finnegan from the Westland Humane Society when he was five years old, he is now 12 years old. He loves to take walks and belly rubs. He is very calm inside the house and likes to lay in his bed. He is great with older kids, he has never been with little kids so unsure how he would be. He gets along well with our cat and other dogs. We love him very much but would like to rehome him due to a human health issue. Finnegan’s ideal home would be with a family with kids. With someone willing to take him for a walk every day.
