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
Queen was never claimed after coming in as a stray. She is a bit shy at first, but then she is friendly and sweet. We are not sure how she is around other dogs, so a meet and greet would be needed. Queen loves to go out for walks.

Story
Livvy is a 6-month-old Australian Shepherd with a soft heart and a playful spirit. She may be a little shy when meeting new people, but once she feels safe, her tail starts to wag, and her sweet personality shines through. Livvy loves gentle affection, playtime with her favorite toys, and curling up nearby once she’s tuckered out.She’s a smart girl—typical of her breed—and is already learning the ropes of good manners. With a patient, loving family who can give her the time and encouragement she needs to build confidence, Livvy will blossom into a loyal, affectionate companion.Livvy does well with other pets and would love a friendly dog buddy to help show her the world isn’t so scary. A home with a yard or someone who enjoys outdoor adventures would be a bonus—she loves to explore once she’s comfortable! She does not do well riding in cars so she can only be adopted locally.Her adoption fee is $275.If you’re looking for a gentle soul with a heart full of love and a playful sparkle waiting to emerge, Livvy might just be your perfect match.

Story
Journey has been at the rescue for close to 3 years! Despite his lengthy stay he has continued to be incredibly sweet and affectionate. He is not only friendly towards humans, but also plays well with other dogs, making him an ideal companion for a multi-dog household. He is playful - loves toys. Journey also enjoys meeting new people, always hoping that one of the new humans will take him home. It is hard to believe that this friendly guy has been in rescue for most of his life. Is it because he isn't as pretty as some other dogs? It certainly isn't because of his behavior. Journey is waiting to have a home of his own with people who will provide him with the love and attention he deserves.FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN.
