I'm an old, sleepy guy who likes soft blankets, dog beds and laps. I don't do much, other than sleep and snuggle, but I do occasionally chase the cats. (The cats have no trouble outrunning me because, well, I'm old). I came from a hoarding situation and didn't get great care. I have bad teeth (which will be taken care of) and some hip problems/joint pain. I often won't eat unless my person sits with me. My foster mommy says I need just the right place for my golden years where someone has time to spoil me. Maybe someone who works from home or someone retired? Is that you?***PLEASE READ*** WE DO NOT RESPOND TO PETFINDER OR EMAIL INQUIRIES. Please fill out an application on our website if you are interested in adopting this dog.

Story
What they love: Wren is still discovering what she loves, and that's one of the most special parts about her. She's learning that life can be fun! She has recently discovered that chewing on bones is pretty great, enjoys exploring the backyard at her own pace, and has a soft spot for tiny stuffy toys that fit perfectly in her mouth. She also loves gentle praise, a quiet environment, and is slowly realizing that treats and kind hands can be wonderful things too. What makes them special: Wren's resilience is what makes her truly extraordinary. Despite a lifetime of fear and uncertainty, she chooses to be brave every single day. Whether it's taking a treat from your hand, walking down a flight of stairs, or exploring something unfamiliar, she approaches each new challenge with quiet courage. Watching her confidence bloom is incredibly rewarding because every milestone represents a huge step forward in her healing journey. Ideal home: Wren will thrive in a calm, patient home where she can continue building confidence at her own pace. A predictable routine, gentle encouragement, and people who understand that trust takes time will help her flourish. She would do best in a quieter household with respectful dogs, if any, and without cats. What to support: Wren will need continued patience as she experiences many everyday things for the first time. She is still working on potty training, learning that the world is a safe place, and becoming more comfortable with leash walking and new environments. She doesn't enjoy being crated and will need positive reinforcement as she continues building confidence. The biggest thing adopters can offer Wren is time, consistency, and lots of encouragement while she discovers just how wonderful life can be. With other pets and people: Wren is a very gentle girl who does well with calm, respectful dogs but can become a little grumpy if play gets too rough or overwhelming. She has shown some resource guarding around other dogs, so slow introductions and thoughtful management will help set her up for success. She has not done well with her foster cat and would do best in a cat-free home. With people, Wren is initially very shy and cautious, but every day she grows a little braver. Once she begins to trust you, it's incredibly rewarding to watch her personality slowly shine through. Additional info: Wren will need ongoing monitoring of her skin and ears.

Story
·       Name: Katydid ·       Male or female? Female ·       Approximate Age: 13 years old ·       Breed: Lab/Retriever mix ·       Weight: 45 pounds ·       Any impairments: none ·       Potty trained? Yes, but needs to go out often ·       Crate trained? Does fine outside a crate ·       Good with other dogs?  Yes ·       Good with cats? With good introductions ·       Good with kids? Yes ·       Commands known: Sit, comes to her name ·       Needs fenced in yard? No ·       Need another dog in the home? No ·       Location: Portage, MI ·       Energy level (high/med/low)? Low ·       Bio:   Katydid (goes by Katie) has been a well-loved dog her entire life, but she found herself in a precarious situation when her owner suddenly needed to be moved to a senior living facility – where Katie couldn’t follow.  Speak! for the Unspoken was able to step in and make sure Katie could continue her life in a loving home.   Everyone who meets Katie is immediately charmed by her.  She is sweet, gentle, and quiet.  Her needs are small – someone who she can follow around the house, who is willing to pet her, who will tell her how wonderful she is multiple times a day.  Katie is an old soul and is in her retirement years, meaning she would like a quieter house and someone who is home with her as much as possible.  As a senior, she needs more trips outside during the day (she is happy to sleep by your bed for the whole night without disturbing you).  She loves going for walks but wants to take those nice and slow so she can soak up all the sights and smells.   She is being fostered in a home with kids and another dog, and while she gets along with everyone and settled in nicely, she definitely prefers a quiet routine.  Katie is in search of her perfect companion for the rest of her years.  If you are also searching for a quiet, loving, gentle companion – Katie could be right for you! ***PLEASE READ*** WE DO NOT RESPOND TO PETFINDER OR EMAIL INQUIRIES.

Story
Bio for Secret Female  Approximate age ~ 5½ months  Breed~ Aussie mix  Weight~ 23 lbs  Impairments ~ Deaf  Potty trained ~ Yes Good with dogs ~ Yes Good with cats~ She barks at them Good with kids ~ Yes  Commands known ~ or being worked on -Sit,Come,No,Outside, Crate,Eat,Bedtime  Need a fenced yard ~ Yes or leash walked Need another dog ~ No. But she would love to have a friend  Energy level ~ Med/high Location ~ Troy Ohio    Secret is 5½ months old.  A very loving girl who will keep you smiling.  She is deaf,but don't tell her she's a bit different.  She doesn't care. She loves to play and cuddle the same as any other pup. She's very smart and learns quickly.  She was potty trained in a week.  She picked up hand signals in no time.  But like a typical kid, she ignore those hand signals if she's not ready to stop playing.  Secret loves playing with other dogs. Kids fascinate her. She barks at cats. She thinks all toys are great. But if there's a toy she likes better than others, she guards it and doesn't like to share. We just simply put the toy away and everything is fine. At feeding time she goes straight to her crate waiting patiently for her turn to be fed. When no one is home, she's put in her crate. She goes in easily and keeps it neat and clean.  At 23 lbs, she's probably about as big as she's going to get.  Upon adoption she'll be spay and completely vaccinated.  Are you looking for a great companion? You won't find a better one than Secret.  So hurry to @speakfortheunspoken and fill out an application because your best friend is waiting for you. ***PLEASE READ*** WE DO NOT RESPOND TO PETFINDER OR EMAIL INQUIRIES.
