Story

🐾 MEET ALICE 🐾 Name: Alice Age: 7 years old Breed: Chihuahua Mix Sex: Female Weight: 15.7 lbs. ABOUT ALICE Personality: Sweet, affectionate, cuddly, playful, and fearful/reactive. Alice can be very nervous around unfamiliar people and situations, but once she feels safe and builds trust, her loving personality comes through. Favorite Things: Snuggling with her person, curling up under blankets, relaxing on the couch, and being close to someone she trusts. Funny/Cute Quirk: Alice is a professional blanket burrower! She loves getting cozy and tucking herself into blankets when it’s time to relax. Foster’s Favorite Thing About Them: Once Alice trusts you, she forms a strong bond and loves being close to you. She’s an affectionate little companion who needs someone willing to understand her and give her the security she needs. THE DETAILS Energy Level: Low to Medium Good with Dogs: No Good with Cats: No Good with Kids: No Potty Trained: Mostly; may have occasional accidents Crate Trained: Unknown Ideal Home: Alice requires an exceptionally specific home with one adult woman and no men, children, cats, or dogs. She cannot live in an apartment or condo and requires a securely fenced private yard. Her adopter must have experience with fearful/reactive dogs, understand canine body language, and be comfortable providing lifelong management. Alice needs a quiet, predictable environment with someone who will respect her boundaries and allow her to feel safe. Adoption Fee: $250 MEDICAL Known Medical Issues: N/A Anything Else We Should Know: Alice’s adopter must be prepared for significant veterinary expenses in addition to the behavioral management she will require throughout her life.

Royal Oak, MI

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

🐾 MEET KAI 🐾 Name: Kai Age: 1 year old Breed: Yellow Labrador Retriever Sex: Female Weight: 78.4 lbs. ABOUT KAI Personality: Affectionate, playful, energetic, goofy, and full of personality. Kai approaches everything with pure joy and loves being right in the middle of the action. Favorite Things: Zooming around the yard, playing with toys, soaking up attention from her people, outdoor play, training sessions, naps, and treats. Funny/Cute Quirk: Kai is a big puppy who sometimes seems to forget just how big she is! Her happiness is contagious, and it’s nearly impossible not to smile when she’s having fun. Foster’s Favorite Thing About Them: Her huge heart and larger-than-life personality. Kai absolutely loves her people and has so much affection to give. THE DETAILS Energy Level: High Good with Dogs: Yes, but she can be overly playful and sometimes doesn’t recognize her own size and strength. She may do best with confident dog friends or as the only dog in an active home. Good with Cats: Unknown Good with Kids: Yes, especially older children due to her size and energy level. Potty Trained: Yes Crate Trained: Yes Ideal Home: An active adult or family with older children who wants a true companion for adventures, playtime, training, and lots of snuggles. A securely fenced yard would be ideal so Kai has plenty of room to stretch her legs and burn off energy. Her adopter should be committed to continuing her training and providing the structure and consistency a young, energetic dog needs. Adoption Fee: $350 MEDICAL Known Medical Issues: N/A Anything Else We Should Know: Kai is spayed and microchipped. She knows “sit,” “down,” and “come” and is continuing to work on her leash manners. She’s highly food motivated and responds well to positive reinforcement. She is still learning appropriate dog-to-dog social cues and can become overly excited during play, so continued training and guidance will be important. INTERESTED IN ADOPTING?

Dandy

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 10 mos

Royal Oak, MI

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Dandy! 🐾💕 Dandy is about a year old and is the sweetest, silliest little girl once she gets comfortable. She can be a little cautious around new people at first, but she has already gained SO much confidence with her foster and continues to come out of her shell more every day. Once she feels safe, her playful side really comes out! Dandy is super playful, energetic, and loves running around and playing with her foster sister, Blue. She follows Blue everywhere and definitely seems to gain confidence from having another dog around, so a home with a playful dog friend could be a great fit for her! She’s also a total sweetheart who loves cuddling, being near her people, and soaking up affection. She is crate-trained overnight, has had no accidents in her foster home, and has shown no aggression. She’s just a young pup who is still learning that the world isn’t so scary and getting braver by the day. 💗 Dandy has made so much progress in such a short time, and her foster family absolutely adores her. She’s one of those special dogs who just needs someone to give her a little patience at first, and then you get to watch her whole personality bloom.

Judy

Chihuahua Mixed Breed (Small)

Female, 13 yrs

Royal Oak, MI

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Name: Judy Age: 13 years young Breed: Chihuahua Sex: Female Personality: Judy is very much a Chihuahua… in all the ways! 😂❤️ She can be a little sassy when you first meet her, but once she gets comfortable, she is incredibly sweet. Judy knows what she wants and mostly asks that you respect her boundaries. She loves being petted on her terms or simply sitting beside her favorite person and enjoying their company. Favorite Things: Going for walks, getting pets, sitting next to her people, spending time with Jack, and enjoying life at her own pace. Funny/Cute Quirk: Judy may be 13, but she still wants to go, go, go! Her back legs sometimes have different plans, so when she gets tired on her walks, she has her very own stroller to keep the adventure going. 🥹 Foster’s Favorite Thing About Them: Her sweet, sassy personality and how much she enjoys simply being beside her person. Energy Level: Low to moderate. Judy still loves her walks and adventures, but her back legs limit how far she can comfortably walk. Her stroller allows her to continue enjoying longer outings. Good with Dogs: Bonded with Jack. Compatibility with other dogs is unknown. Good with Cats: YES Ideal Home: A loving, calm home where Judy can enjoy her senior years alongside her bonded companion, Jack. She would love someone who understands that senior dogs may need a little extra patience and who will respect her boundaries while giving her all the companionship and affection she wants. Known Medical Issues: Judy is currently on heart medication, which she takes very easily. She also has some weakness/limitations in her back legs that can make longer walks difficult, so she uses a stroller when needed. Anything Else We Should Know: Judy is bonded with Jack, and they are looking for a home together. Their current caregivers are happy to continue paying for Judy’s medication as well as food for both Judy and Jack. ❤️ This is a courtesy post only, Judy and Jack are not directly in the care of Happy Paws Haven. We are helping network this bonded pair. If you are interested in giving them a home together, please submit an application through Happy Paws Haven, and we will connect qualified applicants with the person currently caring for them.
