Story
ADORABLE DOGGIE ALERT: Meet Sprout!  Sprout is a 4 year old female pure bred Giant Schnauzer. She has participated in obedience classes, Rally Obedience and she has attempted scent training (which she did not seem to have an interest in). She attended a 2 week stay and train program. She is a loving dog, but would do best as an only pet. While she does enjoy playing with dogs for short periods, she ultimately will resource guard things, including water or even her favorite humans. While she has never shown this behavior with humans, it is peristent with other pets. Sprout does have a high prey drive and is not recommended with cats or other small animals.  She will need a person who is familiar with her breed, working dog breeds or large dog breeds. She enjoys obedience training (she will work for treats!), but needs consistency. She also enjoys hiking and lakes. She is able to work her way out of a wire crate, so a large kennel is ideal for her. Her previous environment was an indoor/outdoor kennel with a fenced in yard. She cannot be left uncrated as she will destroy furniture. Despite this challenge with her crate, she is an absolute love bug who thrives on human attention.  She needs someone who is willing to provide love and attention, physical exercise and will consistently challenge her intelligence to prevent boredom. She will try to convince you that she is a lap dog. Due to her size and energy level, small children would not be recommended.  ##1697990##

Story
Hazelnut is a sweet and fun happy go lucky girl who loves to play! She is good with other dogs but thinks felines are a little too fun to chase. She is estimated to be around 2 years old and has never met a person she didn't immediately love!   Some of our volunteers ave mentioned she likes to give hugs after she gets some energy out.  She is one who will likely need some more guidance on how not to jump on humans at first meeting.    Hazelnut was rescued through Happy Feet Pet Rescue out of the Lansing, MI area.  We are a majority foster based rescue where our pets are living in home environments so that we can provide you the most accurate information possible on how they acclimate to various households (which includes children, busy environments, cats, and other dogs). We stand for intentional adoptions and do not grant on a first application first to adopt.  We thoroughly review your application, read your stories and want to make sure we are giving you a great match in your next dog or cat furry friend. We do have a few policies already established by our Board of Directors to help us minimize returns and ensure that our animals are living their best life.   We do not adopt any of our large breed dogs into apartment settings We do not adopt out our cats to be outdoor cats We do not declaw our cats and nor do we adopt out our cats to be declawed You must be 21 years of old to adopt with us If adopting with roommates please gain consent from them prior to applying If you rent, you must list your apartment complex and contact to confirm that you can have a pet.    Ready to adopt, please visit our website and complete an adoption application.  We usually take 5-7 business days to review the application, check your references, and inquire on any follow up questions.  Our team is all volunteer based and we have other full time jobs beyond the rescue.  We will not tolerate violence, bullying or pressuring of any kind.   Website:  www.happyfeetpetrescue.com ##2833808##

Story
Briar is an 8-month-old boy with equal parts brains, goofball, and bundle of joy. He's smart as a whip, loves to play, and has a silly personality that keeps everyone laughing. Whether he's exploring, learning new tricks, or zooming around the yard, he's always up for the next adventure. Now all he's missing is his forever family — someone ready to laugh, explore, and grow with him. If you're looking for a loyal sidekick with a big heart and even bigger personality, this sweet boy might just be your perfect match. Fully vetted. Up to date on shots, neutered, and microchipped.Potty trained Gets very excited, is working on learning to not jump up & has boundaries issues (don't we all). Because of this and his expected size when fully grown, he would not be a good choice for a home with young children or an apartment complex. ##2620510##

Story
Super friendly and such a cuddle bug! Churro has yet to meet someone who isn't a friend. She does well with cats and dogs, walks really well on the leash, and is house trained. She absolutely loves lounging on the couch or going for a walk! As long as she is with her people shes plenty happy. She isnt the biggest fan of being left alone and does voice her opinion on it but has made lots of progress getting used to the kennel! She likes to sleep tucked in the bed right next to her person. She loves to sit outside and people watch and would love a balcony/porch/yard where she could hang out and watch what was happening outside  ##2853466##

Story
Hi! I'm Nutmeg and I'm a party! I'm a good mix of active and snuggly. While new people can sometimes be a tiny bit scary, it only takes me 2-3 minutse and some good treats before I'm living full time on your lap.  I love other dogs and would be great for a dog looking to get some good playtime and snuggle after.  I am estimated to be around 2 years old. I have not yet met cats so I'm not sure how I would do with them.  ##2833803##
