Story
Meet Sonar! Sonar is a one-year-old, 50-pound bundle of brains and bounce. This boy absolutely loves to run and let loose in the yard, showing off his impressive zoomies and joyful spirit. He thrives when he has space to move and people who are ready to keep up with him. But Sonar isn’t just speed, he’s smart, too. He already knows sit, lay down, and paw, and he’s eager to learn even more. Our volunteers have been working with him on his leash manners, and he’s making great progress. With consistency and continued guidance, he’s going to shine. Sonar also does well with other dogs and would be happy to have a canine friend to romp around with. He’d make a wonderful match for an active home that’s ready to give him both exercise and structure. He’s neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and heartworm negative. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, intelligent companion with a big heart and even bigger zoomies, Sonar is ready to make waves in your life. If you are interested in adopting Sonar please fill out an application at al-van.org/adopt.

Story
Meet Sage! Sage is a 9-year-old black Lab with the charm of a true silver fox. At 71 pounds, he’s a well-mannered gentleman who has clearly done his homework when it comes to being a great dog. Sage is house trained and already knows an impressive list of commands, including sit, down, up, spin, and even roll over. Yes, this classy guy still has a few tricks up his sleeve. Like any good silver fox, Sage has a little gray starting to show around the muzzle, but it only adds to his distinguished look. He’s calm, sweet, and loves spending time with his people, whether that’s showing off his tricks or just relaxing by your side. Sage is the kind of dog who makes life easy. He already understands the rules of the house, enjoys companionship, and is simply happy to be part of the family. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with great manners, a gentle heart, and a little silver-fox style, Sage is ready to step into the role. Submit an adoption survey at al-van.org/adopt.

Story
Penguin was rescued as a puppy from a farm in Oklahoma and fostered for the first year of his life by me in South Haven, MI. I found him what I thought would be his forever home--a large family on a small farm--but unfortunately after 3 years it did not work out. Penguin is an incredible companion dog. He is loyal, attentive, adaptable, good off & on leash, a trained protector, an excellent travel companion, emotionally intelligent, amongst so many desirable traits. He knows many commands and has an endless capacity for learning more. Unfortunately he does have his drawbacks too. He has displayed aggression and "bit" (no broken skin whatsoever) a few people. We believe this was out of fear and stubbornness but nonetheless I wouldn't recommend him to families with children. Penguin would be the perfect dog for singles or couples, especially those with land and the flexibility to bring him along on their adventures. I have a detailed write up of Penguin I can send on request.
