Sadie

Maltipoo

Female, Young

Portage, MI

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Sadie was born on July 4, 2022, and is a tiny girl weighing just over 5 pounds. She is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and full of energy. She loves being outside, running around, going for walks, and then curling up to snuggle with her favorite people. Don’t let her size fool you—she walks like she’s a 50-pound dog and has no problem taking the lead! She has a fun, spirited personality that brings lots of joy. Because of her small size, Sadie needs frequent potty breaks. She cannot comfortably go more than about 5 hours without being let outside and still typically needs to go out once during the night. We have two other dogs who are much more laid-back and independent. With recent changes to our work schedules, we’re away from home longer than we used to be, and we know that’s not the best situation for Sadie. She deserves a family who can provide the time, attention, and companionship she thrives on. This has been a very difficult decision.

Valentina

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Young

Portage, MI

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

We adopted Val when she was a few weeks old from the humane society and raised her since then. We took her to a lot of dog parks so she is good with other dogs. She is now about two and a half years old and most of that time has been living in apartments, although she is fairly high energy and playful. My wife and I recently got married and moved into a house, where Val has enjoyed being able to run in the backyard and play with our other dog. Unfortunately Val can be unpredictable with new guests - sometimes snipping at them without warning - and has never reacted well around children, which we are hoping to have. Val is a very smart dog and loves showing off her tricks before meals. She also has a sensitive stomach and we have learned that she does the best with salmon food (suspected chicken allergy). Val is not the most cuddly dog, but she would love a home where she will have lots of room to run and play, and maybe also be trained to have a job!

Rocket

Fox Terrier (Smooth)

Female, Adult

Portage, MI

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Rocket loves playing ball, running, snuggling, and performing tricks for treats. Rocket needs additional training and someone who can dedicate the time and energy she deserves. While she is incredibly sweet with my wife and me, she has shown aggression toward our young children, which is our primary concern and the reason we are rehoming her. She has been sweet with older kids in the family when they are over, however. She has also shown aggression toward neighboring dogs, though she has done well at daycare when introduced slowly and got along well with our elderly dog. We truly believe she will thrive in a home where she can receive more individual attention.

Jim

American Pit Bull Terrier Rottweiler

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Kalamazoo area 5 year old pit/rott maybe? Mix that we’ve had since he was a puppy. The sweetest boy. He loves people, kids, he’s gentle with babies and very good with other dogs. The boarders and vets all love him. He hasn’t had much experience with cats so unsure. Very difficult decision, a move and schedule changes have inhibited our ability to give him the time and attention he needs to thrive and we feel it’s unfair to him. He does jump when excited on new people but he doesn’t jump on us at all from training/knowing better. He knows “sit,” “stay,” “go lay down,” “walk” and “go outside.” He is neutered and up to date on his shots as of a couple months ago at least (which was the last we checked to board him for a couple days). No health concerns, he is also microchipped.

Story

I rescued Tripp when he was 2 years old and have now had him myself for 3 years. Tripp has gained dog reactivity since I have adopted him, and I believe this is due to the apartment environment I live in. Unfortunately, he does not have the land to run that I feel he needs & I ultimately cannot give that to him. Up to date on vaccines no health issues other than anxiety meds neutered dog particular- has become increasingly dog reactive due to lack of yard and apartment environment very sweet loving boy and loves to cuddle Willing to drive to a good home
