Story
He's a goofy boy. He knows tricks like sit, lay down, touch, paw and other paw, and kiss. He likes to lay in weird positions and loves some squeaky toys. He has pretty bad allergies but over the counter allergy medicine and supplements seem to work for him. He's prone to ear infections. He is 3 years old and not neutered. He's a good boy but like any dog he has his moments. He is crate trained. He's pretty skinny now and also has some problems with his paws but the vet said that was due to allergies. Again, he's a good boy and I can't take care of him anymore so I'm hoping else can give him the life he deserves.

Story
Hello, Hydra was adopted by me going over three years ago when he was around 6 months old. I had another GSD that was older than him, however the other died in an accident about two years ago. Hydra was fine with him and can be okay with other dogs, however he can be aggressive with other dogs as well. I have had no issues with Hydra around children, however he does like to jump on people. He is a sweet dog, but I do not have the time to give him the proper attention and training, and my wife is not a fan of him after having a baby. Hydra would be better off in a home where he can be trained properly and given a lot of attention. He is a very intelligent dog and learns things quickly. Hydra hates getting his nails trimmed, and despite many days trying to train him to be okay with it i have been unsuccessful. Hydra can be around other dogs but if you have a dog I would suggest familiarize them with each other before making a move.

Story
Meet Lemon!Lemon is 2 year old girl looking for a running buddy and an active person!Here is the scoop on Lemon:-She loves the outdoors and is ready to explore it all with you. -She does well with dogs but would also be ok as the only pet. -No cats in the home for her please. Lemon thinks cats are fun to chase.-Kids? We think she might do ok with kids. She can be a little shy so just go at her pace!-Lemon would not do well in an apartment or condo. A house with a yard sounds more like her jam. She needs space to roam. Lemon is so sweet, gentle, and ready to jump in your car. If Lemon sounds like your kind of dog, call the shelter to schedule a meet and greet. You will not be disappointed. If your application was approved and you received a call back from the Humane Society of Macomb for a meet and greet, plan to take the animal home that day. Be prepared to adopt and to bring a home a new family member. We cannot place puppies/dogs on hold to come pick up for another day.Thank you for showing an interest in our pets. We can never guarantee the breeds of the animals. We do not DNA test. Please feel free to call us with any questions.

Story
Meet Claire Bear! Claire Bear is a beautiful 1.5-year-old, 83lb girl with a big heart to match her big size. Claire was originally adopted from a local shelter as a puppy but was recently returned a year later when her family decided they no longer wanted her. Understandably, she was very shut down and petrified in the shelter environment - but once she felt safe again, her true, sweet personality started to shine. Claire is a social and friendly girl who absolutely loves playing with other dogs that are tolerant of her size and enthusiastic energy. Because she can be a bit much for smaller dogs or seniors. Claire has lived with cats previously and done well. This happy girl enjoys romping around outside and would thrive in a home with a physically fenced yard or an active walking family. She has a good understanding of house manners and is crate trained - she was previously allowed her to free-range. Unfortunately, boredom led her to occasionally chew shoes, so she’ll benefit from structure, enrichment, and plenty of appropriate toys (which she loves!). Claire Bear adores spending time with her people, does well with dog-savvy children, and truly has all the makings of a wonderful family dog. She’s affectionate, playful, and just wants a family who will love her, guide her, and commit to her furever. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a playful spirit and a whole lot of love to give, Claire Bear might be your perfect match. Claire Bear is:Current on Bordetella, Distemper, and RabiesDewormedHeartworm Tested: NegativeReceiving Heartworm and Flea PreventionMicrochippedSpayedADOPTION FEE: $200 IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS PET, PLEASE COMPLETE THE APPROPRIATE APPLICATION FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE HTTP://FUREVERTAILS.COM. Unfortunately, at this time we are not currently adopting outside of the state of MI. We process applications ONLY - there is no guarantee that you will get a response to an inquiry. Many of the animals in our foster program come to us with limited or unknown histories. We make every effort to evaluate each animal’s temperament and behavior, including testing their interactions with other dogs, cats, and children (defined as individuals under the age of 18, when available). However, every animal is unique—just as every child and household environment is different. While we strive to set both our foster animals and adoptive families up for success through thorough assessments and transparent communication, **we cannot guarantee any specific behavioral outcome**. Animals can be unpredictable by nature, and behavior may change in new environments or over time. By proceeding with adoption or foster placement, applicants acknowledge and accept this inherent risk and agree that no guarantees, either expressed or implied, are made regarding the temperament or behavior of any animal placed through our program. FUREVER TAILS IS A NON-PROFIT, NO-KILL, FOSTER HOME BASED ANIMAL RESCUE BASED OUT OF OAKLAND TOWNSHIP, MI. OUR FOSTER ANIMALS ARE LIVING IN FOSTER HOMES AND TREATED LIKE FAMILY UNTIL THEY FIND THEIR OWN FUREVER FAMILIES. OUR ADOPTION PROECESS REQUIRES AN APPLICATION TO BE COMPLETED AND APPROVED BEFORE A MEET-N-GREET WITH THE ANIMAL CAN TAKE PLACE. ADOPTION FEES ARE NECESSARY TO HELP US COVER VETTING COSTS FOR OUR RESCUED ANIMALS. ##2642631##
