Story
This is boy was a surrender along with his siblings at 6 weeks old. We only know he is a Dutch Shepherd and Belgian Malinois. He is loveable, smart and shy. He would do great with another dog to boost his self confidence. Bentley needs time to warm up. He likes kids, but would probably do best with older children. He likes dogs, and cats.

Story
This is Willow, and her eyes tell her story. She is our Adult / Senior who has had a hard life. She came to us very emaciated, 18lbs, dirty, with awful skin, overbred, and sad. She has come a long way and is a happy girl who deserves to spend her days relaxing and just being loved . Willow is dog selective and does well with cats. She knows her basic commands, and she is housebroken. She is a velcro dog. Willow still has lots of energy, but she is perfectly happy sitting with her person being cuddled. She does best with older children. She is spayed and microchipped.

Story
The most affectionate dog youll ever meet. I fostered ladybug on behalf of my family’s changed living circumstances. and it was the best decision Ive ever made. She loves doing anything you do, whether its napping all day, sitting on the porch and enjoying the breeze, going hiking, or laying next to you while you watch TV. Shes an absolute cuddle-bug who will do anything to receive affection or playtime. She loves all sorts of people, especially men, and will loyally stay by your side throughout the day. She has an incredibly tolerant disposition- throughout my 3 years of owning her, she never once growled at me, or any other person, despite how much I try to annoy her. Shes gentle despite her size, and will love you as much as you let her! I cant keep her due to my living situation and it has crushed my soul, im looking for a family who will love and cherish this silly goose as much as I have. Shes about 6-7 years old, and seems to have been a mother at some point. Spayed.

Adams

Australian Shepherd Border Collie

Male, Adult
Auburn Hills, MI
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Adams has tons of energy and really needs a farm or plenty of space where he can run and even help out with chores. He’s very strong, has a lot of hair with a thick, beautiful coat, loves to stay active, and thrives when he has a “job” to do. While he gets a little anxious around other dogs, he’s wonderful with people and great with cats. My girls are teenagers now, so they aren’t home much anymore, and I’m busy with my job. I can’t spend the time with him that I want, and he deserves more playtime and attention than I can give him right now. This has been a very hard decision, but I know he’ll thrive in a home where he can get the love and activity he craves. If you’re looking for a faithful, family-friendly dog who still has plenty of energy and endless affection — and you have the space for him to live his best Aussie/Collie life — Adams may be the perfect match for you

Kali

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult
Auburn Hills, MI
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Kali is a sweet girl who has had a tumultuous life. She was found on the streets of Detroit when she was about 5 months old by a family who took her in. Unfortunately, after having more kids they could not give Kali the time and attention she deserved. I adopted her in the winter of 2023 and she is so sweet, loving, and playful. She has been living with cats for the two years I’ve had her and she has not been able to be around them without getting aggressive. For this reason she would do best in a home with no other animals. She has been through training and knows basic commands like sit, place, down, off, and heel. She loves to cuddle on the couch with you and get as close to you as possible. She loves her people very much and is protective of her house. A house with a fenced yard would be best because she loves to run around and explore. She would love to meet you!
