Story
Meet Rocky, the goodest good boy! Rocky takes a pill a few times a day for diabetes insipidus, and since starting his medication, he’s feeling so much better! This playful young guy sometimes gets so excited about his favorite toys he forgets to think, but a quick snack brings his focus right back. Rocky is okay with cats, though his energy might be a bit much for feline friends who prefer a quieter life. Because of his playful nature, he’d be best with older kids. Most of all, Rocky loves to snuggle. Whether it’s on the couch or curled up at your feet, he’s happiest close to his people. ##2197265##

Story
Meet Vivi!Born on 10/09/25, Vivi is a mixed-breed puppy who’s expected to grow into a large, loving companion. She’s the ultimate snuggle bug with a silly, adventurous streak—equally happy curling up for cuddles or bravely exploring the big world around her. Vivi is curious, sweet, and playful, and she has a special talent for melting hearts by flopping onto her back and asking for belly rubs. She does great with kids and other dogs and hasn’t been around cats yet. If you’re looking for a puppy who’s affectionate, fun-loving, and ready to grow with your family, Vivi might be your perfect match. ##2619812##

If you're looking for love, Romeo is your guy! He can be a bit shy, but he's such a sweetheart. His favorite activities are playing, chewing, and eating. He currently loves to snack on baby carrots.  Romeo is about four months old. He is thought to be a medium mixed breed (mother weighs about 20 lbs, father unknown). He will likely be small/medium. He is ready to start potty training and will need all the training and patience required for raising a young puppy.  If you think Romeo might be your perfect match, apply today! ##2620525##

Story
Meet Rock N Rye!  This Michigan made man is a total lug head. At 78 lbs of pure love, he's a happy boy who loves other dogs, has lived with cats, and would do fine with older kids. While he is pure love all the time, he can play a little on the rough side at times and needs reminders that it's no ok to tug on sleeves or hands.  This big fella is neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative, microchipped and ready to join your family! Other than the occasional marking in a new place (men, am I right?!) he is potty trained and knows several commands such as sit and shake.  Rock N Rye is currently hanging out in our shelter, but we would LOVE to find him a foster home so we can learn even more about her personality. If you would like to sign up to foster, please visit our website at www.happyfeetpetrescue.com. Please note, our facility is not a public building and we are available by appointment only. Please do not show up without an appointment.  ##2636481##

Remi is ready for her furever home!! Remi is an approximately 12 week-old female puppy (weighs about 16-17lbs)who is a mix breed. She is spayed and up to date on her vaccines. Remi is great with other dogs and does well with kids. She has not been cat tested yet. She is much a puppy and will need all the usual puppy training, but she’s off to a good start. Remi sleeps through the night in her kennel and is learning her routine. She’s affectionate, playful, and loves being around people. Like any puppy, she can get into a little puppy trouble at times, but it’s all part of her growing and learning. She also LOVES to lay in your lap to take a nap! Remi is looking for a loving home ready to continue her training and give her the time and attention she needs to thrive. Remi is with:Happy Feet Pet Rescue  ##2608214##

Story
Poptart—also known as Poppy—is a sweet, quirky little pup who knows exactly what she likes. She isn’t currently living with any other dogs, but she has lived with dogs before—and from that experience, we know she’d do best in a home with either no dogs or very easygoing companions. Poppy loves her toys, treasures her personal space, and thrives in a calm, predictable environment.   She also has a huge cuddly side. If you work from home, she’ll happily curl up beside you (or on top of you!) all day long. She’s the perfect little shadow—affectionate, loyal, and always ready for snuggles. And her favorite thing in the world? Tennis balls. She’ll carry them around proudly and even fall asleep with one tucked under her chin.   One unique thing about Poppy: she’s allergic to mosquitos! With dog-safe spray and the occasional Benadryl, it’s simple to manage—but it does mean she prefers cozy indoor living over long outdoor adventures. If your perfect day involves snacks, cuddles, and a Netflix marathon, Poppy will be your ideal companion.   If you’ve been missing a warm, flaky breakfast pastry in your life, don’t wait—get your application in for this little Poptart today!   Poppy's adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous donor!  ##2475355##
