Rufus

German Shepherd Dog Rottweiler

Male, Senior

Rockford, MI

Size

(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Details

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

Story

This is Rufus! He is a very sweet, loyal, and chill dog. He spends most of his days laying on his favorite bed, our very nice couch. He loves pets and will stare us in the face until we give in to his quiet demands. When given the chance, he will be your very big, bulky lap dog. While sleeping is his favorite activity (preferably by me, his preferred family member) he can be quite playful and energetic when given the opportunity! Rufus is a fantastic dog with a traumatic first few years of life. We rescued him in 2018 and he has blossomed since then. We are incredibly broken up about needing to rehome him. We are moving to Spain and truly believe, based on his past and personality, he will experience less trauma and stress if we rehome him. If our circumstances were anything other than moving out of the country, this lovable guy would be with us until his last moment of life. We are looking for the perfect family because he deserves one.

Laika

Australian Shepherd

Female, Adult

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

Story

Laika is a beautiful 6-year-old red Merle Mini Australian Shepherd. She has been with us since she was 8 weeks old, and it breaks our heart to have to seek a new home for her. She has struggled to adapt since the birth of our child, and as baby becomes more mobile this strain is becoming more and more evident. Laika is a sweet and sassy girl who is eager to please and does best with adequate stimulation and exercise. She would be best served with owners who are experienced with this breed. She loves swimming in shallow water, hikes, ice cubes, and anywhere she can run wide open. She is very intelligent and treat-motivated. She knows basic commands, is housebroken, crate-trained, and does not chew or exhibit other destructive behaviors. She can be protective over her food and her crate, and can be nippy in these circumstances. She has lived with cats, who she tolerates but herds. She gets along with dogs she is familiar with. She should absolutely NOT be in a home with young children.

Willa

American Staffordshire Terrier Pointer

Female, Adult

Belmont, MI

Size

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

Details

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

Story

It is with a heavy heart I have to do this. Willa is an amazing dog! Very smart, very loyal. As a kid I’d always dreamed of having a dog that can catch a frisbee, and Willa is THAT dog. She shows great athletic ability but is now mostly motivated to do it with treats. She used to be more intrinsically motivated to do it and still is when there’s snow on the ground (she loves the snow). Willa can sit, stay, roll over, give paw and balance treats on her muzzle. If proper boundaries are set in the house, she will follow them. We don’t allow her upstairs in our house or on furniture and she has been good about both. She can be high energy but also likes to chill and snuggle. Willa is probably best with no or one other dog around but not more, at least on a regular basis. Willa is great with kids but unfortunately my son and wife are allergic. I’m hoping to find a good/loving home for Willa here.

Scar

Catahoula Leopard Dog German Shepherd Dog

Male, Young

Cedar Springs, MI

Size

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

Details

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

I’ve fostered Scar for about two months, along side my personal dog that I’ve owned for three years (female pit). Scar has puppy energy and needs space to run. He obeys commands very well and is very attached to his owner. He follows me everywhere! He is kennel trained, as soon as I ask him he goes in or as soon as I grab a treat he runs to his kennel. He is used to being kept in the kennel on a full time schedule, about 8 hours a day. He still has a puppy bladder so he needs to go out often as of right now but he will stand by the door when he needs to go. Scar is very timid at first but after a couple sniffs he’ll love anyone he meets. He is very cuddly and will ask for belly rubs every opportunity he gets. I love him and did everything I could to keep him. My landowner has told me that I can no longer have 2 dogs and unfortunately I can’t give Scar back to his owner either. Scar is a great best friend for my dog and could be a great best friend for you or yours.

Bella

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Senior

Grand Rapids, MI

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Bella is a soulful, affectionate girl with a big heart and personality. She adores table scraps and rarely says no to treats. A true lounger at heart, Bella is mostly a couch potato who’s perfectly content with one daily walk and she’ll politely let you know when she’s had enough. She enjoys watching and listening for passerby's and takes her role as home guardian seriously. Bella loves having toys & chews to keep her mind busy. She has excellent recall, knows sit, stay, and kennel and can be trusted off-leash in calm, controlled environments. Bella does best in a quieter home, as too much commotion can overstimulate her. While she has lived with children, she prefers a mellow environment and would thrive as an only dog. Bella isn’t aggressive, but fear-based, redirected reactions have occurred during high-stress situations. With the right setting and possibly some targeted training, she’ll truly shine. Bella is a world-class cuddler who wants to who wants to be as close as possible!

Size

Details

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

Story

Meet Remi! He is a 5 yr old Pure GSD. We rescued him from an abusive home a year and a half ago, but it was only ever supposed to be a foster situation until we could find him a home. Now we have a baby on the way and he just really needs a place to be where he can run outside and have a good yard to play in. He is very smart and is wonderful with people and other dogs. Extremely good with kids, very patient and has never shown any aggression towards anyone. When we got him his legs were bare and bleeding because whilst he was left alone for weeks at a time, his anxiety caused him to chew on his legs. We have been doing our best to restore him to his former glory. He absolutely loves love and will constantly want pets and belly scratches. He is a very good boy, but our time with him has to come to an end unfortunately. I'm really hopeful one of you lovely people will want to help this sweet boy out! Thank you for reading!
