Traverse City, MI

Size

Details

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,

Story

Mochi is extremely affectionate, sweet, goofy, knows lots of tricks, loves relaxing on the couch and snuggling, and has funny quirks; she is a huge goofball. Mochi is crate trained, files her nails on a board, leash trained, potty trained, knows sooo many tricks, is super eager to learn and please, hates the rain and so much more. She has not been fixed. We rescued her from a bad situation 3 years ago & quickly discovered her reactivity/triggers. She resource guards from dogs and sometimes redirects that anxiety onto people (she has a bite history, one bite broke skin). She is great with our other family dog when they’re outside but they fight when they’re inside. We are looking to rehome her because a recent health crisis in our family has caused my father to become disabled and my mom to now have to work full time.Mochi would do best in a home w/ one person (quiet environment) who understands her reactivity and is willing to work with her.

Story

Meet Simon! Simon is a sweet little guy looking for a quiet home and a patient person who will let him settle in at his own pace. At just around 13 pounds, he can be a bit shy and unsure around new people, especially when it comes to being touched. He’ll need an adopter who understands the importance of giving him space and allowing him to build trust on his own terms.Once Simon has had enough time to feel comfortable, he can settle in and relax. Loves a good lap to sit in and stretch out! He isn’t interested in playing just yet, but he does have a soft spot for high-value treats—especially cheese! He takes treats very gently, and they may be a great way to start building a bond with him.Simon has a history of living with other dogs and may enjoy having a canine companion with proper, slow introductions. He’ll also benefit from continued positive training and socialization to help him become more comfortable around people and gain confidence in new situations.Simon is looking for a calm, understanding home that will give him the time he needs to feel safe. He has the potential with kids 16+ who will respect his boundaries. If you’re willing to let this little sweetheart come out of his shell at his own pace, he may be the companion for you!Ask our staff about Simon`s medical needs!

Meet Ozzy!Ozzy is a big, lovable guy with an even bigger heart! This young adult boy is friendly, social, and absolutely loves his people. He may be strong and can get excited during playtime, but he’s also able to settle down and relax when the fun is over.Ozzy is a sniffing superstar and loves putting his nose to work. Give him a snuffle mat or another enrichment activity, and he’s one happy pup! He’s also a big fan of treats, which will come in handy as he works on his basic training. He already knows “sit” and is ready to learn more.Ozzy isn’t particularly interested in toys (at least not the ones we’ve offered him), but he has plenty of other ways to have fun. With his sweet nature and playful personality, Ozzy could make a wonderful companion for a family ready to help him continue learning and growing. He may have potential to live with dogs or cats with proper introductions and would do best with mature kids who can handle his size and strength.If you’re looking for a gentle, goofy, treat-loving guy who just wants to be your best friend, Ozzy is ready to meet you!

Story

*please fill out an application to meet me!*Meet Yum Yum! Yum Yum is a special spotty girl who is learning that the world isn`t such a scary place after all! While she can still be unsure when meeting new people, she`s gaining confidence and showing off more of her fun, curious personality. She loves her trusted friends and, once you`re in her circle, she may even try to become your lap dog! Yum Yum is also a little billy goat at heart and loves climbing anything she can find. With her athletic build, impressive jumping skills, and love of sniffing out the world around her, she`s sure to keep you entertained!Yum Yum is looking for a patient, dog-savvy home that will let her settle in at her own pace. She may need a few meet-and-greets to feel comfortable, and her new family should be prepared to continue building her confidence long-term. Once she feels safe, her energetic side really starts to shine, so she`ll need help learning how to channel all that enthusiasm. Yum Yum has lived with another dog in the past, but she may be very selective about canine companions, so we recommend she be the only dog in her new home for now. She still needs to meet her feline friends, and due to her fearful behaviors, she`s looking for a mature household with kids 16 and older.If you`re ready to help this funny, athletic girl grow in confidence while embracing all the goofy fun she has to offer, Yum Yum may be your girl! Please fill out an application to meet her.
