Story
Meet Zuzu — she didn't lose a home because of anything she did. She just got caught in the middle of life. Zuzu's story starts the way too many good dogs' stories do — found as a stray, landed in an overcrowded Detroit shelter, and waiting for someone to see how special she was. A wonderful foster family stepped up, and it didn't take long before she found her forever home... or so we thought. Zuzu was adopted in April 2025 and by all accounts, she was everything a family could want. But when her parents' marriage ended, she found herself without a home through absolutely no fault of her own. She didn't do anything wrong. She just needs someone new to love her — and trust us, she has so much love to give. Here's what makes Zuzu so special: This 2-3 year old, 48-pound sweetheart is the whole package. She's potty trained, crate trained, and currently lives happily alongside kids AND cats, who she absolutely adores. She is gentle, affectionate, and the kind of dog who just wants to be near her people. Give her a toy, a bone, a walk, or a spot on the couch and she is in heaven. Zuzu has already proven she can thrive in a loving home — she just needs another chance at one. Zuzu is: 2-3 years old 48 lbs. of pure sweetness Spayed Up to date on vaccines Microchipped Potty & crate trained Dog, cat & kid friendly Adoption Fee: $250 She's already been the perfect dog once. Let her be yours. Application: https://peaceloveandpawsrescue.com/adopt%2Ffoster-application

Story
Lieutenant Dan! Ice cream! No shrimp boat required — just a couch, some snacks, and a heart ready for unconditional love. Meet Lieutenant Dan (aka Dan the Man), a 60-lb velvet pillow who has seen some things but still believes life is like a box of chew toys — you never know what you’re gonna get, but it’s probably adorable. Dan may not run across America, but he walks like a dream on leash, is house-trained, crate-trained, and has officially mastered the art of being a proper Southern gentleman. He’s calm, sweet, and prefers cuddles over chaos. This is not a ping-pong-chasing lifestyle dog. This is a lean back, watch the world go by kind of guy. He’s: *1-2 years old *60 lbs of HUNK *Neutered, UTD on vaccines and microchipped *Dog Friendly *Great with kids *A champion cuddler and elite people-pleaser *Unsure about cats (still waiting to meet one… probably would ask their name politely) Apply Here: https://peaceloveandpawsrescue.com/adopt%2Ffoster-application

Story
Pipster the Hipster is ready to steal your heart and maybe your spot on the couch! Pip was scoop up from a local shelter after being found on the streets of Detroit. He was scared and skinnier than any puppy ever should be. Fortunately Pip is tough and has grown into a confident and energetic pup in his foster home! He loves running around and wrestling with his foster siblings. He is still working on his confidence meeting new people though. A treat or two will do the trick to winning him over. He met lots of people at the pet store and was quickly going in for all the pets and cuddles. Pip is very food motivated which helps with training. He is a very smart boy who learned sit the first day! He runs right to his room at meal time to sit and wait to be served. He is crate and pee pad trained. He is getting better at alerting when he needs to go out but will need some patience in this as he is still a puppy. Pip is: 💙 6-7 months old 💙 UTD on vaccines 💙 Neutered 💙 Microchipped 💙 Kid and dog friendly. Cats unknown but anticipate will do fine.

Meet Geo!!!! Are you looking for a dog who thinks "personal space" is just a suggestion? Meet Geo, the world's most enthusiastic blanket submarine! This lovable goofball has mastered the art of burrowing under covers like he's training for the Blanket Olympics. Geo's morning routine includes greeting you like you've been gone for 47 years (even if you just went to the bathroom), performing his signature "tippy-tappy" dance when treats are involved, and generally being the wiggliest ball of joy you've ever seen. Seriously, this guy's tail wag could power a small city. What Geo brings to the table: A PhD in snuggling (summa cum laude) The ability to match your vibe—whether you're Netflix-and-chilling or ready for a marathon walk Expert-level Kong destruction skills (he'll work on that thing for an hour after the peanut butter is LONG gone) A "no-pull" leash walking style, though he reserves the right to stop and sniff literally everything because who knows what important dog news he might miss? The fine print: Geo is looking for a cat-free, small-animal-free home, we think he would enjoy a dog friend with proper introductions. Bottom line: Geo is the total package if you want a best friend who will love you unconditionally, steal your spot on the couch, and make you laugh with his tippy-tappy excitement every single day. This good boy is ready to be YOUR good boy! *5 years old *56 lbs. of HUNK *Neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped *Potty Trained Apply here to meet him today! https://peaceloveandpawsrescue.com/adopt%2Ffoster-application

Story
Meet Rocky — 40 pounds of pure, unconditional love looking for his forever person! 🐾 Rocky is a one-year-old, 40-pound sweetheart who will make you feel like the most important person in the world — because to him, you are. This velcro boy lives to be by your side, and his love is the kind that follows you from room to room (okay, and sometimes cries a little when you close the door, but can you really blame him?). Rocky comes fully loaded: He's 100% potty trained, never had a single accident, and settles happily into his crate each night after just a few minutes of the most dramatic, heart-melting little whimpers you've ever heard. He's a dream in the car, a gentleman with cats, dogs, kids, and yes — even guinea pigs. He is also, officially, a world-class splooter. His love language? Being within three feet of you at all times. 🥺 Rocky is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and fecal tested — ready to come home and warm your couch, your lap, and your whole heart. He loves dogs, kids and cats, he is the WHOLE package. He'd thrive with an active family who loves a loyal companion, patient housemates (human or furry), and someone who won't mind a little food-counter curiosity. Apply today — Rocky's already saving you a spot on the couch. 🐶 https://peaceloveandpawsrescue.com/adopt%2Ffoster-application
