Story
Meet Nova! This sweet and spunky girl has been in our rescue since January of 2021. Soon after we got her we noticed her developing signs of pregnancy... turned out she was pregnant! Nova had 8 puppies on Valentine’s Day 2021. They have since been adopted, and now it is mama Nova’s turn! Nova was also diagnosed with megaesophagus making it challenging for her to digest and absorb nutrients from food as she should. Nova has been working with her dedicated foster family, our vet and trainer to help get her acclimated to eating in an upright position and the Bailey chair. We are doing the hard work so she will be acclimated and desensitized to eating this way for her future adopters! We have seen her gain weight, become more active and playful, and ready to find her forever home. She is house trained, has the potential to be with other dogs after a proper introduction and decompression but would be more then happy to be an only dog. Nova is up to date on vaccines, spayed and microchipped. Her Mage E is managed with soft foods, eating in a Bailey chair and drink water from an elevated bowl. She has also had her DNA test done which shows: American Staffordshire Terrier, Cane Corso, Greyhound, Labrador Retreiver, Bichon Frise and Belgian Malanois. Nova is doing great and will live a full happy life! If interested, please fill out an application on our website!

Story
Meet Comet! Here is a bit about him, in his own words… or woofs… -I LOVE toys but not small ones, bones to chew and I get the zoomies all the time. -I’m very loving, I’m learning how to cuddle and love to lay on the couch with a bone. -I think I would like a doggy friend but also could be happy as an only dog. -I’ve been neutered and got a clean bill of health from the vet as well. -I would love someone who would work with me on learning better leash skills and manners training. Comet was a shelter pull at risk of euthanasia due to space and the time he had been there. We are thankful we could give him the chance at a forever life by bringing him to our rescue and helping him on his journey to finding a family! If Comet sounds like he could be a match, please fill out an application on our website.

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 lady 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!

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, young
Southgate, MI
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats,
Story
Hero is a 5 year old purebred bluenose who, despite what’s he been through, is the goodest boy. Hero was rescued 3 years ago when his original owner decided it was the smartest choice for him. Weighing a total of 23lbs, this was the best decision his owner could have ever made for him. Now weighing in at 63lbs, Hero is fully house trained, loves long walks and wants all the balls in the world. From bowling balls to tennis balls, he loves them all. Hero is pet reactive so would do best in a home where he can be the center of attention, but have no fear if children are there, Hero is going to be their best friend. Babies are unknown as he has never been around them. Hero may be a bit timid at first, but he warms up rather quickly when he realizes no one is out to hurt him (anymore). Hero has a $50 rehoming fee to ensure serious inquiries only as he deserves the best. If you’re interested in Hero please feel free to reach out for a meet n greet!
