Story
🐻♥️🐻 ADOPT ME 🐻♥️🐻 Reintroducing Barney! This mellow fellow is now ready to search for his forever home. Loved dearly throughout his life, his world recently changed when his elderly owner went into nursing care. He’s adjusted nicely to his new surroundings quite quickly. Barney stats - ♥️ He’s 10 yrs old, around 20lbs. We are unsure of what breed he is. Maybe a Daisy dog or Lhasa mix. ♥️ Barney gets along well with other dogs. He’s not overly playful, just enjoys their company. He can be placed as an individual pet as well. We believe he would thrive either way. ♥️ Barney is a low maintenance boy in the fact that he’s likes to snuggle and lounge around the home. He enjoys being your couch companion or spooning in his persons bed. We wouldn’t label him active, medium-low energy. His nickname is Barnacle boy and he’s friendly with everyone. ♥️ He’s got a luxurious, soft, wavy haircoat that will require regular maintenance, grooming every 6-8 weeks. His ears will need to be kept up on as well. We are treating an ear infection currently that his former owner couldn’t manage properly. We expect this not to be an ongoing issue as long as his new person can keep tabs. 🤎 Barney is such a wonderful little guy we don’t have a lot of stipulations on his placement. We believe he would fit into a multitude of lifestyles. If you’re interested in applying for adoption for Barney you can fill out an application two ways - Our website- ➡️ www.Canineliberationleague.com Or emailing us for one- ➡️Canineliberationleague@gmail.com Barney is neutered, microchipped and has been fully vaccinated with Rabies, DHPP, Lepto & Bordetella. Also is fecal & heartworm tested. 📍Location - South Lyon, MI ♥️PLEASE SHARE to help Barney find a home♥️

Story
Bailey is 3 years old. She is very smart and very loving. I've had her since she was 6 weeks old. I got her at the Humane society and they told me her breeds were German Shepherd and Terrier but she doesn't look like either. The reason I'm trying to rehome her is because my house just doesn't have the room that she needs to run around. I live in a mobile home park. Her cable is only 5 ft long so she doesn't get much exercise. I haven't been able to walk her. I've had numerous back surgeries. I can't walk any distances. Although i do take her to the dog park I'm getting older and it's harder for me to take her now.Bailey does well at the dog park with other dogs. I think she would ideally do great with someplace that has a large fenced in yard or some acreage for her to run in. Bailey loves the water and i think she would be a great second dog for somebody. She's a very great dog! I just want her to be happy and I don't think she is happy here any longer.

Story
Meet Chandler!You will LOVE this sweet boy! My brother found him as a stray, looked for his owner with no luck, and gave him a home. He is up to date on all of his shots, is chipped, and has a crate. They believe him to be about 18 months old and a staffordshire terrier/lab mix. He has the sweetest demeanor, does well with kids and other dogs/cats, but if not watched can be a little mischievous. My brother and his family already have a dog and cat and unfortunately are unable to give him the dedication and attention he needs. They need to rehome him, sadly, but would love to see him go to àa good home and not the pound or shelter. Please let me know if you or someone you know would be willing and able to take this sweet boy! Thanks!

Rocky is 4 years old and He is very sweet around kids and truly longs for love. He has idiopathic seizures health condition and is currently on medication.

Story
I adopted Gabriel when he was a year old. He is now 6, trained and very smart. He's very affectionate once he's introduced to you. He'll share his favorite toy with you. Due to recent medical issues, I'm looking to re-home him to someone who has the physical capacity and energy to enjoy time him. He is not very high driven but very affectionate. After a few tosses with the ball he'll take it and go lie under a tree but he'll be up again for round two. I'm really not sure about him and cats. He did fine a few kittens in our backyard once. He got my attached but he laid in the grass and watched them play. Not aggressive towards them but just happy to see them. He does like a schedule. Any deviation from it confuses him but I think most dogs have this issue.

Story
Ruckus came into care with 3 other puppies who will all need socialization, and supervision. He will n will need puppy classes and be watched as he will consume small objects due to his background. Ruckus is being worked with in his foster home for potty training and for basic commands. He is also being crate trained. He is really becoming more confident in his foster home and loves to do zoomies and plays ball. He needs a lot of reassurance, and direction in new situations. He will eat ANYTHING and needs to be reassured regarding food is available. Not sure with kids or cats just yet.
