Story
One year old Jacob found himself in a Texas shelter with a toe injury. He has recovered well and made his way up to Michigan in search of his forever home. He is all ears and all cute! Jacob gets along great with other dogs and loves to play. He is crate and house trained and an all around smart boy, typical of his breed. He is a little shy at first,  but comes right out of his shell after a bit. Because of his shyness, a physical fenced yard  that is higher than 4 feet high is required.  Jacob is 40 lbs (and growing), neutered, up to date in shots and microchipped. His adoption fee is $300.00. If you have questions about him, please email us at projecthoperescue@gmail.com. Ready to apply for him, visit our website at www.projecthoperescue.org.December 29, 2025, 4:21 pm

Story
Hello meet Cyrus. He is a very outgoing and silly boy. He absolutely loves to play explore and he is eager to learn. He is highly intelligent, within just one week he was kennel trained and learned how to sit and shake. He is fully potty trained and loves having other dogs to play with. He is very food driven which makes training even easier. He is amazing on a leash and loves his daily walks. He loves outdoor adventures whether it’s hiking running or a beach day! He loves to swim. He also just simply likes going on car rides and being included. A fenced in yard is needed for him to run and play. After a long day he loves to get belly and neck scratches and snuggle up in bed.Cyrus was rescued from Texas and at just ten pounds he had a broken femur and ribs. He made a miraculous recovery and you can hardly tell he was ever hurt. It does not stop him from running and jumping!He is still learning his manners and we are working on jumping as he doesn’t realize just how big he is yet! As a Shepherd he needs someone willing to commit the time and energy into him and he will give you back endless love and loyalty! He is truly the perfect companion. He is also great with children.He loves to play ball and is ready for a home that can give him the time and energy needed for his activity level.Cyrus is about 10 months old and weighs around 90 pounds. He is neutered, has a microchip and all of his vaccines!His adoption fee is $350.00.

Story
Bennie is a one year old German Shepherd mix, weighing about 42 pounds- neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, microchipped, house trained, crate trained, great on car rides, knows sit, down, shake, and come.Bennie is extremely sweet, and although he loves to play and run, he is also happy cuddling on the couch. He has the playful puppy energy but comes already trained. He would make a great hiking or biking partner and would prefer a home with a fenced yard where he can romp or play. Bennie gets along well with other dogs. He has not been around children or cats, but with his gentle disposition, he would probably do well with children 8 and older and a dog-suave cat.Bennie was found as a stray and was extremely shy. He has come a long way in confidence, but he will need a patient family who continue to socialize and expose Bennie to new things.Bennie's adoption fee is $300.00.

Story
Do you have an “empty nest”? Are you looking for some handsome boy companionship? Great news, your search is over! In addition to my very dapper good-boy looks, I am also an avid ball player and dignified goofball. You may be thinking how in the world I can posses such conflicting personality traits...well I am definitely very regal in my looks and initial demeanor...but once I let my hair down (the shed is real, am I right?) and create a bond with my person, I reveal my more quirky attributes! I love being outdoors; you could even say that I am easily amused. Whether it be playing fetch to my heart's desire or going for a long trail walk (I would probably make a pretty good jogging buddy too). If you have a boat with an empty seat, count me in because I LOVE to swim! Being a German Shepherd, I am one of the 'brighter crayons in the box'. In my free time I like to work with the staff and volunteers to brush up on my basic command skills. They are always telling me what a smart guy I am! Well...I assume that's what they are saying, judging by the treats they give me, I am doing good! Proper introductions to establish a trusting, positive, first impression is a must with me. I am an old fashioned kind of guy. I know I am irresistibly handsome, but I appreciate getting to know each other before getting all touchy-feely. Because of this, I would be happiest in a home without children (or other wondering hands). I do love affection and a good ear rub....but a mutual respect needs to be established first. I also want to be your only side-kick, I am not a social butterfly with other pets, I would much rather hangout with just my person. I have a pretty strong prey drive to keep the stray cat and pesky squirrels out of our yard too....A job I take very seriously. If you are in the market for a dashing side-kick to rid the yard of vermin, submit your adoption application at the website below to see if we are a match! D.O.B 3/30/17 For safety's sake, we are looking for homes with physical fenced in areas. Please fill out our online adoption survey at www.mackenzies.info/adopt/adoption-survey-application/

Story
Wheeler Wheeler is a male Malinois/Heeler mix DOB: June 11th, 2025 Adoption fee: $150 I was told this is my heritage, maternally, Belgium Malinois and paternally, 50 % Red Heeler/25% Standard Poodle/25% Australian Shepherd mix. I think I am just a very nice young man looking for a family which can’t live without me. I am not fit for apartment life. I would do my best with someone with my breed's characteristics. I may also need more time to acclimate prior to showing my real fun-loving spirit. I am at my adolescent stage and would really benefit from a change of scenery. I am energetic and playful. At times, I can’t get close enough to you. I may think I am a lap dog. I will enjoy daily walks. I would do my best with a routine and basic obedience. I love to run and play. I would absolutely love a physically fenced yard to bury my head in the snow or in your flower garden in the summer months. I may require a fence, pending your previous experience, location and or other plans for containment. I may match with another dog, pending a meet and greet. I should adapt to a dog-friendly cat with a positive introduction. I will do my best with older children. I do have a very full coat and will require regular brushing and possibly grooming a couple of times per year.

Winslow Winslow is a male Malinois/Heeler DOB: June 11th, 2025 Adoption fee: $150 I was told this is my heritage, maternally, Belgium Malinois and paternally, 50 % Red Heeler/25% Standard Poodle/25% Australian Shepherd mix. I think I am just a very nice young man, who can be shy to new people, places, and things. Due to my current behavior, I will require a physical fenced yard. I am not fit for apartment life. I would do my best with someone with my breeds characteristics and is familiar with dogs who might need more time to adapt to a new environment. I am not as energetic as my brothers but could develop more of a zest for play once I have acclimated to my new home. I would enjoy a home with another dog which is looking to mentor a young impressionable pup who just wants to belong. I will seek out more attention and affection from my humans with another dog in my home. My leash walking is coming along. At times, or with new volunteers, I need more encouragement to walk next to or in front of them. I tend to trail behind with less confidence until I become more acclimated to the person. I am a very nice pup. I do have a lot of hair and will need to be brushed or possibly groomed a couple of times a year.

Story
Waverly Waverly is a female Malinois/Heeler mix DOB: June 11th, 2025 Adoption fee: $150 I was told this is my heritage, maternally, Belgium Malinois and paternally, 50 % Red Heeler/25% Standard Poodle/25% Australian Shepherd mix. I think I am just a very nice young lady, who can be shy to new people, places, and things. Due to my current behavior, I will require a physical fenced yard. I am not fit for apartment life. I would do my best with a family experienced with my breeds characteristics. I am hitting my adolescent stage and would really benefit from a change of scenery. A home with a family, older children, less commotion, another dog looking to mentor a young impressionable pup that is eager to follow their lead, would be absolutely perfect for me. I could tolerate a dog-friendly cat, with a slow proper introduction. I am doing better with my leash training. I am not super confident and will walk more behind you than in front or to your side. I am an observer and take my time to work up to affection. I find confidence in having another social dog by my side. I will be medium or on the smaller end of large when fully grown. I have a thick coat and enjoy playing outside. With confidence and training, I will enjoy going for daily walks and playing in the yard.
