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 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 Spider, a mellow and affectionate boy who is looking for a patient forever home. He is currently building up his strength but absolutely loves his daily walks and light jogs. Spider is a certified "passenger princess" in the car and is a perfect gentleman at home. He is fully house-trained, doesn't chew furniture, and is content to nap and enjoy a chew toy when left alone. Spider has an incredibly sweet, low-key personality. He isn't much for intense playtime; instead, his favorite activity is waiting for you to sit down so he can immediately cuddle. He expresses his love through heavy snuggles and has recently found his voice, which he is still learning how to use. Because he is a sensitive soul who can be startled by loud voices or fast movements, he needs a gentle environment. Spider gets along beautifully with other pets and is content to peacefully coexist with other dogs and indoor cats. Because of his sensitive nature and tendency to "talk with his paws," he would do best in a home with older children. Spider is trying so hard to learn what is expected of him and simply needs a loving family to give him the guidance and affection he deserves. *4 years old *67 lbs. of HANDSOME *Neutered, UTD on vaccines and microchipped *Dog & Cat Friendly *Potty Trained APPLY TODAY: https://peaceloveandpawsrescue.com/adopt%2Ffoster-application

Story
Meet Midge Midge's story didn't start with love. She spent her days chained outside in Detroit — no shade, no warmth, no comfort of her own. Midge is safe now, and she'll never live that life again. Since coming into rescue, this little squatty girl has powered through heartworm treatment like an absolute champ — never losing that wiggly tail or that happy spirit, even through every appointment and hurdle. At 41 pounds, Midge is the perfect pocket-sized pittie, around 2–3 years old and learning every day what it means to be loved. She's not a "perfect" dog — she's a real one. She can couch-potato with the best of them, then turn into a zoomie tornado without warning. She's got opinions and isn't afraid to share them. And she's basically a professional squeaker assassin. Midge loves other dogs, thrives on playtime, and does best with an active family who'll include her in the fun. But she also needs a safe, calm space to retreat to — storms make her nervous, and after everything she's been through, she deserves somewhere she can always feel secure. She knows "sit," is eager to please, and is fully potty and crate trained. What Midge needs now isn't perfection — it's someone willing to love a dog who has survived hard things and still has so much love to give. 2–3 years old 41 lbs of pure sweetness Spayed, vaccinated, microchipped Dog, cat, and kid friendly Potty & crate trained Midge is waiting for her people. Give her a chance to impress you. Apply today: https://peaceloveandpawsrescue.com/adopt%2Ffoster-application

Story
Meet Sugar Bean!!! Here's something Sugar Bean will never understand: why she's been overlooked. It's not because of anything she's done — it's simply because she's black, and black dogs like her are so often the last ones noticed, the last ones chosen, the last ones to find a home. It's not fair, and it's not about her heart, because Sugar Bean's heart is enormous. Her story didn't start easy. Sugar Bean spent her early years chained up in Detroit, living with neglect instead of love. But somehow, despite everything, she came out the other side with nothing but gratitude and affection for the world. Now safe in her foster home, she's blossomed into the kind of dog who reminds you what resilience really looks like. Sugar Bean is a certified snuggler — 70 lbs. of pure lap dog energy, if you'll let her get away with it. She's gentle, gracious, and easy to love. She's potty trained, spayed, microchipped, and fully up to date on her vaccines, ready to walk straight into her happily ever after the moment someone gives her the chance. Sugar Bean isn't asking to be someone's second choice. She's asking to be seen — for her sweetness, her loyalty, and the striking, soulful eyes that so many people scroll right past. She has so much love to give, and it's long overdue that someone gives it right back. Sugar Bean will spend the rest of her life proving you made the right choice. *5 years old *70 lbs. *Spayed, vaccinated, microchipped *Potty trained *Loves to cuddle *The sweetest girl you'll ever meet APPLY TODAY: https://peaceloveandpawsrescue.com/adopt%2Ffoster-application

Story
Meet Birdie. Birdie is an adorable 30-pound brindle girl who found herself as a stray in the county shelter, and the moment we saw her one-of-a-kind smile, we knew we had to help her. Her bloodwork is wonky, she has multiple mammary tumors, and she can't undergo anesthesia — so surgery isn't an option for her. We don't know exactly how much time she has, but we believe she has enough good days ahead of her to enjoy a real home, a soft bed, and someone to love her for however long that turns out to be. Please do not let this deter you, these seniors deserve a home too! She is settling into foster care beautifully. She lives with another dog and, with slow and proper introductions, does great with canine friends. She's mostly a professional couch potato who enjoys the occasional lap around the yard before heading right back to her favorite napping spot. Birdie is looking for a home without cats or young children, where she can relax, be loved, and enjoy the good life she's always deserved — for as long as she has it. What kind of dog is she?! Well, that's a great question, and your guess is truly as good as ours. She's petite, lanky, and super cute — a total mystery mix with the biggest personality. If you're looking to open your heart and home to a sweet, easygoing girl with the cutest smile around, Birdie might just be your girl. She may not have much time left, but she has so much love still to give — and so does whoever is lucky enough to give her a soft place to land. Birdie is approximately 9 years old.
