Story
We are looking for a loving, stable home for Knox, our 5-year-old AKC-registered English Mastiff (about 150 lbs), located in Romulus, MI. I have had Knox since he was 12 weeks old, and this is an incredibly difficult decision. Due to my degenerative disc disease and multiple surgeries, I can no longer physically care for him the way I want to—especially with walks and managing his allergy care. He deserves the very best, and that’s why I’m trying to find him the right home. 🐾 About Knox • Male – Intact / Unaltered • AKC Registered English Mastiff • Fully house-trained • Great with children, cats, and other dogs • Calm and respectful around chickens • Very gentle and loving • No aggression toward people (He can be a little protective of his food around other animals, but has never shown food aggression with kids or adults.) ❤️ His Personality Knox is a big, gentle soul. He’s mellow, affectionate, and wants nothing more than to be near his people.

Story
If you’re looking for the perfect family dog, look no further—I’m your guy! I’m approximately 1.5 years old and had a rough start in life. As a young pup, I was sadly dumped in a ditch with my brothers, but I haven’t let that define me. Since then, I’ve thrived in two different foster homes, learning valuable life skills along the way. In one foster home, I lived without a yard, enjoyed daily leash walks, cuddled on the furniture, and happily played with kids. I also lived with cats—but I’ll admit, it was very tempting to chase them when my foster family wasn’t looking. In my second foster home, I live on a farm with a fenced yard, use a doggie door, and play with dogs of all sizes. I absolutely love playing in a muddy water hole or splashing around in my kiddie pool. Thanks to these experiences, I’m adaptable and well-rounded—and personally, I think I’m the most handsome pup around! I jump right into the car and am always ready for an adventure. Spend a little time petting me—or even just looking my way—and you’ll be rewarded with endless kisses. I’m a true love bug. My favorite treats are raw carrots, and I enjoy any toy, especially ones I can enthusiastically de-stuff or squeak. I am neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations—all I need now is my forever family. My adoption fee covers transportation from Tennessee

Story
Bobbin is 6.5 years old and has been a resident at the rescue for over 3 years. She is a favorite of workers and visitors alike! She considers herself the supervisor of all activity. Kind of the no nonsense serious type that always has to be cool. Occasionally breaks character and shows her goofy side! Only 30+ pounds! Practically fits in your pocket!! Bobbin gets to run around as much as she wants, but she could use an active family that will help her get in shape. She is sweet and loves attention. She has decided that it's time to find a home of her own.FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN.

Story
Hans and his siblings came from someone with a lot of dogs. They didn't get any socialization as little pups, so they are quite skittish. Hans is the smaller of the 2 males. He has a beautiful white chest with a tail that curs over his back. He tends to hang back when the other dogs approach a human for a treat. He is a sweet dog who needs a lot of love, patience, and a slow introduction to new situations. What a wonderful experience it would be to bring him out of his shell.
