Story

Rocco is a loving, sweet playful dog with a lot of energy. He just turned a year old about a month ago. He is very protective and territorial. He is very strong. Needs an owner that can give him walks because I am pregnant and my shoulder and wrist is hurt and I cannot give him the attention he needs. He does chew up things and needs an owner that can continue to train him not to do that. It takes a lot of time and energy and with me being pregnant and always sick I cannot keep up with his busy ways. He does great playing with my autistic son and we wish we could keep him but it’s not in the cards for my family. I want him to be able to live his best life not spend a lot of time in his cage because I can’t give him the attention and training he needs. Hoping someone will help us because the thought of bringing him to the animal rescue mission, and then potentially putting him to sleep breaks my heart.

Story

I acquired Aspen from SPCA of Southwest Michigan at roughly 4 months old. She is currently 7 months and will turn 8 months on March 4. I am looking to find her a new home due to my inability to give her the care she needs. She is a super energetic and working dog. One of the smartest dogs I have ever met in my life but she has a super hard head. She will need someone who can put in the time with her and full fill her to the level she needs. She does great around my girlfriends dog but you can tell she likes to be in charge. She has also had some other behavior issues with smaller dogs so she will need a household with no other pets and someone who can properly socialize her with pets. Her sit, stay, and down are amazing and is somewhat good with healing without the leash. Her come command is good when she wants it to be (hard headed) and she is great on a leash when she has on a prong collar. She will walk right beside you and sit when you stop.

Rumples is a very loving dog that is loyal and great with kids! He is only 11 months old so he is still in his puppy phase. He enjoys walks, playing with his toys and also napping. He is crate trained as well at night. Unfortunately with our busy schedule we cannot give him the attention he needs at this time.

Kalamazoo, MI

Size

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

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

This is Akita She is a Siberian Husky We took her in a couple months ago from someone that was trying to rehome her. We were told that she's good with kids, but unfortunately she is not. She has bitten my toddler (did not break skin) with no warning growl. We've always been diligent with making our kids be respectful of the dogs space, but it's seems like being around small children gives her anxiety. She is incredibly friendly with adults and is not reactive to strangers. She does well on a leash and is a great running partner! She's been such a sweet dog but it's just not a good fit for us. The previous owners said she was updated on her shots but I don't have a lot of information, and have not been able to take her in to update her shots. For that reason I'm not asking a rehoming fee, but I will require proof that she will be going to a good home and will absolutely not be in a home with small children. We have two cats that she does well with.

Story

I got Sweetie from a family when she was a pup. Sweet as a four-year-old. She has anxiety and doesn't like loud noises. To get worked up and anxious when the area gets overstimulated. She’s my best friend but due to my health, I'm not able to keep her. I am looking for someone who could work with her and give better behavior training. I tried but I had no luck. She likes to cuddle and take long walks.

Beagle

Male, Senior

Kalamazoo, MI

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Max’s owner had to move into an assisted living facility and I have been fostering him for a couple months. He is 12 years old, mostly blind and diabetic. He gets 5 units of insulin via injection after every meal. He is on a special diabetic dog food. He gets along very well with our two dogs and cats. We also have two kids that he is good with. He sleeps most of the day and loves to sit in your lap or right next to you on the couch. He’s a sweet, gentle dog that is extremely easy to case for. But he needs somebody that can oversee his diabetes and can afford the cost of insulin, needles and diabetic food. Overall the vet says he is very healthy for a dog his age. I am needing to re-home him because I simply cannot give him the care he needs because of my two other dogs, four cats and two children.
