Story
A note from Leelanau`s foster:Leelenau is a sweet, gentle soul who loves to be a part of the family!  He is sensitive and quiet and a great walking companion who walks without pulling on the leash.  He is very people friendly and loves to play with dogs and is a champ at playing fetch.  He also loves playing with stuffed toys. Leelenau is housetrained and sleeps through the night.  He has free reign of our house and is non-destructive.  He enjoys having the companionship of our 2 dogs but would do fine as an only dog, as well.  He loves to snuggle with his people and will lay on your lap like a lapdog if you let him. Leelenau knows basic commands and is quick to learn and loves to please!  He is a pleasure to have in our home and will make a great companion!

Story
Gunner was born 10/22/20. He is a good loving dog, but his behaviors get him into trouble. He loves to snatch bananas from the counter. He loves to be outside, running back and forth the fence line. He will even help with your garden, fall clean up. He is skinner during the summer months as he loves to run in the yard. He is crate trained and house broken. We have 2 other dogs and Gunner would like more attention than we can give.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.If interested in any of our animals for adoption, or to foster an animal, please fill out the respective application here to get the process started. Visit our FAQ webpage for commonly asked questions about our adoption/foster process. It's not often we see a retriever in rescue. We may never know how Clipper found his way to a Detroit shelter, but what we do know is that he is so deserving of a loving forever home. Clipper is a big, loveable goof with a silly, playful spirit, who is fiercely loyal and oh-so-sweet. He's looking for someone patient and loving who can help him thrive. Could that someone be you? 85 lbs, approximately 6 years old Dog friendly, curious about cats Potty trained Neutered and UTD on vaccinations Would do best in a home comfortable with large breeds Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Last Day Dog Rescue now microchips all animals before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the animals shoulder blades and are a permanent form of identification. If the animal is ever lost and slips his/her collar/tags the microchip allows the finder to know who to contact if scanned for a microchip. Animals MUST still have a collar with tags on at all times. Per our contract, we take all our animals back if for any reason you can't keep your adopted animal. Please understand the statements about this animal are based upon the foster home's evaluation of the animal. The animal might behave differently (negatively or positively) in your home. While the animal might be good with the current foster’s dogs, cats, children, etc., it may not be with your animal(s) or children. The animal may be housebroken or litter trained in the home of the foster but may relapse in your home. The animal is represented to the public as it performs in the foster home and any statements made regarding the animal are conditional to that foster home setting. Please understand that statements made regarding this animal are simply overviews and are not guaranteed. The Petfinder.com system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our animals. Visual breed identification in animals is unreliable so for most of the animals we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each animal as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our animals based on personality, not by breed label. Thank you for looking through our list of animals needing forever homes and choosing rescue first. We appreciate you stopping by. December 5, 2025, 9:35 am

We do our best to provide information that will help determine if the animal might be a good fit for you. Please note that behaviors may change in a home environment. We also ask our applicants to assume that any animal they adopt from us will need to be potty-trained and learn house manners, although this is not always the case. In most cases, the listed breeds are also a best guess. Our online animal bios are designed to provide as much information as possible and answer some anticipated questions. We do not have the resources to respond to emails with more specific questions.We are receiving an unusually high number of applications at this time! Applications are reviewed as they are received, but we do not select adopters on a first-come basis. Our job is to ensure each pet is placed into the best fit home for them and that adopters are paired with an animal that is a good fit for their lifestyle. All animals will stay online until they are “pending adoption”. Therefore, if an animal is still listed, we are still accepting applications for him/her! Please do not send inquiries about a specific animal's availability as this can change quickly over the course of the day. The fastest way to get a response is to simply submit an application! We will do our best to notify you by email if the pet(s) you are interested in are no longer available. New animals are posted daily, so please let us know if another furry friend peaks your interest (there is no need to fill out a second application)! Fill out the application (DOG:https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=dr1937&method=online_form_html&formid=44, CAT: https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=dr1937&method=online_form_html&formid=41, EXOTICS: https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=dr1937&method=online_form_html&formid=46) completely.

It could take up to a couple of weeks for you to receive a final disposition on your application so there is no need to check on the status.-Introductions will be scheduled by appointment only, 30 minutes per appointment. The entire household, including current dogs, must be present for the appointment. (Note: Please do not bring your dogs if you are meeting cats!). The introductions will take place outside in our parking lot (or in our cat room if you're meeting cats).-We will perform vet checks for current and prior pets in the household.-Finalizing the adoption will also be scheduled by appointment.Thank you for your understanding.
