Story
✨ Meet Nova ✨ Some dogs show you what resilience looks like. Nova lives it. 🩷🐾 This beautiful brindle girl was a stray at a Detroit firehouse for several months. She was smart, cautious, and incredibly good at keeping her distance. No matter how hard people tried, Nova wouldn’t let anyone get close. Until one day, the firefighters noticed something was very wrong. Nova was limping horribly. 💔 It was eventually discovered that this sweet girl had been hit by a car. Somehow, she had been surviving on the streets all alone — navigating the world with a shattered front leg and an unimaginable amount of pain. We conditioned her to a live trap, and when the moment finally came, Nova walked right in. We wish we could say that was the end of the hard part. It wasn’t. Nova ultimately needed to have her front leg amputated to relieve the pain caused by the damage. She also has arthritis in her hips as a result of the accident. And yet… somehow, through all of it, Nova remained sweet. 🥹 Today, this tripod girl is learning that life doesn’t have to be about survival anymore. Nova is shy when she first meets new people, but give her some treats, a little baby talk, and some time — and she starts to let you in. Having other dogs around makes her feel especially brave, which is why Nova needs a home with other dogs. 🐶❤️ She is: 🐾 50–55 lbs 🐾 Dog friendly 🐾 Cat friendly 🐾 Crate trained 🐾 Potty trained 🐾 A total sleeper — especially if she can sleep upside down on her back 😂 🐾 Shy at first, but incredibly sweet once she feels safe 🐾 A certified soft-eyed beauty with the gentlest soul Nova isn't looking for a loud, busy life filled with strangers coming and going. She's looking for quiet. She's looking for patience. She's looking for canine friends who can help show her the world isn't so scary. And although we said quieter home we don't mean that with other dogs- she is the life of the canine party and the zoomie queen! She loves to play, wrestle, and be silly with other dogs! She's looking for someone who will let her take things at her own pace. Because after everything this girl has survived, she deserves a home where she never has to be in survival mode again. 🥹❤️ Nova may have lost a leg… But she never lost her ability to love. And if you look closely into those impossibly soft eyes, you'll see it — the sweetest soul hiding behind a very shy girl. ✨ Now all she needs is someone willing to see her, wait for her, and love her exactly as she is. Nova is ready for her forever. Apply here: https://peaceloveandpawsrescue.com/adopt%2Ffoster-application

Story
Meet Choji! Short legs, big heart, and zoomies for days! Choji is a young, handsome corgi mix with gorgeous face markings and those adorable little legs that somehow go fast. His favorite thing in the whole world is fetch, and he'll happily play until you're the one begging for a break. He's a people dog through and through: he wants to be part of the action, follows you from room to room, and at bedtime he's all about snuggling up with his humans. Choji is a medium to high-energy guy who needs daily exercise, so he'd make a great walking buddy for an active family. He does well in the car once he settles in, gets excited on leash without being a big puller, and generally gets along with other dogs. Cats and small critters are a different story. His prey drive is high, so he'll be happiest in a home without them. He hasn't met kids yet, so adults or older, dog-savvy kids would be best. Like most young pups, Choji is still a work in progress. He's figuring out the potty thing (belly bands help), he doesn't know any commands yet, and a bored Choji may chew anything you leave lying around. So keep the toy basket stocked and your earbuds out of reach! He isn't crate trained, but he does fine hanging out with other dogs while you're away. What he really needs is a patient, gentle family who'll give him space to warm up and some positive training to help him shine. His foster says it best: Choji is a really good boy, and he just needs someone to give him a chance. Give him a little love and guidance, and you'll have a fun, loyal sidekick for life. Choji is *3 years old *28 lbs. of CUTENESS *Neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped and fecal tested *Dog and cat friendly Apply TODAY: https://peaceloveandpawsrescue.com/adopt%2Ffoster-application

Story
Sarti is a gentle senior girl with a heart full of quiet love, and she's ready to spend her golden years curled up beside someone special. Sarti has come a long way. When she first arrived, she was shy, timid, and a little trembly, unsure of the world around her. With patience, soft words, and plenty of cozy blankets, she has blossomed. Her foster has watched her sweet, spunky personality peek through as she's started feeling better, and nothing melts hearts quite like the happy tail wags she now gives when her person walks into the room. Sarti's favorite activity is simple: being close to you. She's a world-class snuggle buddy who would happily spend the whole day nestled in bed beside her human. When she drifts off to sleep, her little tongue pokes out and she snores softly, and it's every bit as adorable as it sounds. She's a calm, low-energy lady who doesn't need long walks or games of fetch. A soft bed, a warm lap, and maybe a ride in a doggy stroller for some fresh air are all she needs to be content. Sarti has no teeth left, so your shoes and furniture are completely safe, and she has never once been heard barking. Sarti gets along wonderfully with other dogs. She loves cuddling up with her foster brother at night, and she's content being home with her canine pals when her person is away. She has shown no interest in cats and has a low prey drive. She hasn't met children yet, but her gentle nature suggests she'd do well with calm, respectful kids. She's shy with new people at first but friendly once she settles in and knows that you are safe. A few things her new family should know: Sarti needs to wear a diaper, as she's no longer able to hold her bladder. She sleeps in bed with her foster family (with a little caution, since she can occasionally tumble out), and she isn't crate trained. She feels safest in familiar surroundings and prefers to be near her person, so a home where someone is around often, or where she has doggy companions, would suit her best. Sarti may not be the most active or playful pup, but she has so much love to give. She deserves a soft place to land, a patient heart, and someone who will keep her comfortable and cherished for the rest of her days. *Estimated to be 11 years young *14 lbs. of CUTENESS *Spayed, UTD on vaccines, heartworm negative, had a recent dental, and fecal tested *Low energy *Dog and cat friendly *Wears diapers Apply Here: https://peaceloveandpawsrescue.com/adopt%2Ffoster-application

Story
Meet Cleats, a loyal, medium-energy companion who is looking for a patient and understanding adult-only home to call his own. Once Cleats knows and trusts you, he is the ultimate cuddle bug. He loves to be held like a baby and will even dance on his hind legs to show you how happy he is! He has an excellent "off-switch" and is always ready to relax and lay down with you after playtime. His absolute favorite activities include going for car rides, taking neighborhood strolls, and playing fetch with his ball in the yard. Inside the home, Cleats has excellent house manners. He is potty-trained, letting you know he needs to go outside by acting visibly excited. He shows no signs of separation anxiety and is not destructive. When left alone, he does perfectly fine roaming loose with other respectful dogs and will usually just sleep the day away. While he treats an open crate as a comfortable, quiet safe space during the day, at night he prefers his favorite spot: snuggled right in bed with you. When it comes to grooming, he handles home baths and trims well, though he can be a little sensitive about mats and knots. Because Cleats is shy and wary of strangers, he needs a savvy owner who can advocate for his space and manage introductions safely. He can become defensive, growling or nipping if an unfamiliar person tries to touch or approach him unexpectedly, and he is uncomfortable around children. Cleats currently lives with other dogs and gets along well with them. Cleats does like to chase his feline foster siblings from time to time but he is capable of adjusting to a dog-savvy cat. While he might chase at first, he eventually bonds deeply and will happily share the bed with his feline roommates. *2 years old *9 lbs. of cuteness *Neutered, UTD on vaccines and microchipped *Dog and Cat friendly *NO CHILDREN *Potty trained *Non destructive when left out APPLY TODAY: https://peaceloveandpawsrescue.com/adopt%2Ffoster-application

Story
Meet Peaches!!! Peaches is the ultimate "100-mile-per-hour couch potato"—ready to sprint into your heart one minute and snooze by your side the next! Though she has only been in our care for a short time, this sweet, friendly girl is already proving to be a certified lover who considers cuddles and kisses an absolute must. Peaches loves being close to her humans and happily sleeps in bed with you at night, but she is also fully crate-trained and remains completely calm and quiet when left alone in her crate. When it comes to house training, Peaches is fully pee-trained outside. For pooping, she currently uses a pee pad indoors but is actively working on transitioning to the outdoors. She is a smart girl who already knows "sit," "come," and a partial "leave it," so she will easily polish up these puppy habits with continued training. Peaches perfectly matches her energy to yours and has plenty of athletic potential, making her an excellent running or hiking partner. She loves playing with her toys, going for walks, and running, though once the fun is over, it takes her just a few minutes to wind down before she fully commits to lounging. Peaches is a fantastic car rider who stays completely calm on trips. Socially, Peaches is highly dependent, deeply affectionate, and rarely shy. She is incredibly friendly with strangers and seems to really like kids, though she might need a little supervision around toddlers just to ensure her enthusiasm doesn't accidentally knock them over. On her walks, she has been completely uninterested in cats. She walks well on a leash. If you are looking for a loyal, adventurous, and deeply affectionate shadow, Peaches is ready to meet you! *Estimated to be 4 years old *60 lbs. of GORGEOUS *99% potty trained (using pee pads when she can't hold it) *Crate Trained *Dog and Kid friendly (Cats unknown) *Spayed, UTD on vaccines and microchipped APPLY TODAY: https://peaceloveandpawsrescue.com/adopt%2Ffoster-application

Story
Meet Maya, Your Gentle Giant in the Making! Maya is a sweet German Shepherd puppy with a big heart, and she's still figuring out this great big world. Her favorite thing in life is her stuffies. She almost always has one of her "babies" in her mouth, carrying it from room to room. It's impossible not to smile when she trots up to you with her latest treasure. In her foster home, Maya has been a dream. She's fully potty trained and lets you know she needs to go out by pacing by the front door. She's crate trained and settles in calmly, though at night she prefers to snuggle up in bed with her foster family. She does well when left alone, with no barking, no chewing, and no signs of separation anxiety. She's even great at bath time! Maya is a high-energy girl who needs daily exercise, and she'd make a wonderful hiking or running buddy. She also has a good off switch: when playtime is over, she's happy to lie down and relax. She walks beautifully on a leash with no pulling or lunging, and she rides calmly in the car, so she's ready for adventures. She already knows "sit" and "leave it," and she's eager to learn more. Maya is friendly with everyone she meets. She loves new people, gets along great with other dogs, and has done well with kids ages 6 and 15. The ideal home for Maya: Maya has a high prey drive and loves to chase cats, so she needs a home without cats. Most of all, she needs a patient family. She's a gentle giant who is still learning the world, and she'll thrive with people who give her time, guidance, and plenty of love as she grows. If you're looking for an active, affectionate companion who will follow you everywhere, probably with a stuffie in her mouth, Maya might be your girl! 💕 Maya is 8 months old, spayed, utd on vaccines, microchipped, fecal tested.
