Size

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

He is 1yr 3mos old and a happy puppy, he does answer to his name quite well and follows some commands to sit, stay or come. We purchased him from a breeder in Michigan. Recently added Green to our family, he has been with us just over a month. He is a very sweet loving dog but does not get along with our other dog (Corgi) very much. They both seem to have a resource guarding issue and causes me worry to leave them alone together. (Fighting over toys is the issue) He is not neutered yet has an appt soon to get up to date on his shots. We promised him a home and would like to find him a new forever home to care and love for him. I believe a single pet family he would do the best in. We are not looking for an adoption fee, just want to find him a loving family and home to be at.

Story

Gohan was born December 15, 2024, and was a rescue. Over the months, we have gotten better with his potty-training, but his main issues are separation anxiety, chewing furniture, and occasionally going potty on furniture. He LOVES being outside, with people or dogs around him, playing fetch, and chew toys. Gohan has tons of energy, and would be best fit to be with a family with older kids, and cats and dogs that have a big backyard and time for him

Nyx

Chinese Crested

Female, 5 yrs 10 mos

Allen Park, MI

Size

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

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Oh, Nyx....where do I begin. This girl is a special one! She came to us when our vet asked us to take in a special needs puppy. Nyx was born with hydrocephalus and the breeder didn't want her so she surrendered Nyx to our vet. Her hydrocephalus doesn't affect her health in any way now but we believe it has affected her personality. Nyx is a very special girl who will need a VERY special adopter. One who is patient and calm and willing to accept Nyx for who she is! Nyx wants affection on her terms but will run from you if you try to pick her up. You have to go low and slow so she won't run from you. Nyx will HAVE to have a fenced in yard for that very reason - if she got out you probably wouldn't get her to come back to you. Nyx likes other dogs but doesn't really know how to play with them and can mean to them when she's just trying to get them to play. We think all of her quirks are a direct result of her hydrocephalus. She can be so loving, but she is definitely a quirky one! Nyx will do best with older children or a quiet household. If you are the unicorn adopter we are looking for - who is willing to accept Nyx for who she is - please fill out our application at www.goofyfootrescue.org Nyx is in foster care in West TN and will be transported once her adoption is finalized.

Story

Meet Reba! This sweet girl was unfortunately dealt a tough start to life where she was chained in the backyard and neglected to a point where her collar had to be surgically removed from her neck. The sweet girl has made incredible strides in her life since then and we know the right family will leave all her bad memories in the past and fill up her future with only love. We’ve made up a list for what this special girl would like in a forever home: -An active home with lots of walks and time to play ball. -I am crate trained but it’s not my favorite place so I would love to sleep in bed and cuddle on the couch with you. -Older kids would be best since I can be a little hyper I might knock a little one down. -She is open to having a doggy sibling but no cats If interested in applying for Reba, please fill out an application on our website. She can’t wait to meet you!

Poppy

American Staffordshire Terrier Bulldog

Female, 11 mos

Allen Park, MI

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

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

Story

My name is Poppy and I’m a short curvy girl that loves to play. I act scared for about 1 minute when meeting new people or going new places. Once I have a minute to adjust them I’m your best friend. I love to play and jump around that’s how I got my name. Hoping all over. I can be a little to much for some other dogs with my silly puppy energy and I may knock little kids over. I don’t mind cats they are ok. Rescue mom say I’m so silly because I love to get in the bathtub, play in shower and drink from the tap. She also say I would do best in a home that will continue my training and give me lots of exercise. I do have some allergies also so keep that in mind.
