Story
Look at those darling little ears! Waldo is estimated to be about 3 years old and weighs 9 pounds. Meet Waldo, a young pup who has had a rough start in life but is now ready to find his forever home filled with love and care. Oh, sweet Waldo, we are so sad someone treated you badly, but despite his past, he is so connecting and only wants to be close to you. He came to the rescue so neglected and matted, one of the worst we have seen (as you can see from his pictures). We took him right to one of our wonderful vets where he had to be sedated and shaved. Now he is looking fabulous and must feel so much better. It may take him just a minute to trust, but who can blame him, but once he does, he likes to give you gentle kisses. Waldo also likes putting his paws on your knees for some much-needed pets, it is really cute. He might be a little uncomfortable with some handling due to his past experiences, but with patience and understanding, he will thrive. Waldo enjoys nothing more than curling up in your lap feeling safe and loved, and he can't wait to find a family to do this with. He will need a home where any children are at least 13 years old. Waldo is a truly special dog who deserves to be loved and cared for like he has always deserved. If you are interested in Waldo and are at least 21 years old, please come to our kennel during business hours, make an appointment, or fill out an application at k9stray.com and an adoption counselor will be in touch. We look forward to helping you find your new best friend! *Please check your lease agreements for breed/weight restrictions prior to applying. We also do not do cat testing, so we do not know how a dog will do with cats. Not all dogs are available to go home on the same day you first meet.*

Story
Hello! My name is Lauri and I am a mature lady who is looking for my fur-ever family to love. I am about 12 years old, spayed, and the doggy doctor says I am a healthy girl with all my vaccines up to date. I get along with other low energy easy going dogs, and love to spend time with people I trust. Do you like to watch tv on the couch? I'm your girl! Do you like to sit out on the deck and listen to the birds chirp? Count me in! Do you like to go for short walks and enjoy the crisp fall air? Me too! I love to snuggle on my foster dad's lap and I'm a sweet mature lady who lives with two other dogs who allowed me to settle in before trying to be best friends. Now, you can find me snuggling in the same dog bed next to my foster brother by the heat vent snoozing in the sunshine. I would love a home in which my humans were home often, and the family environment is low energy, without small children as they can move very quickly and that overwhelms me. I'm learning to do my business outside as I am used to going on to the bathroom on pee pads inside the house. My biggest hope is to find a family who is kind, gentle, home often, loves to snuggle, a home environment that is calm and quiet, and if there are other fur-pets in the home that they will give me my space at first to adjust. If you think that I might be the perfect addition to your family, please visit www.nbsar.org to fill out an adoption application.

Story
Currently this sweet baby is with our rescue, The Artemis Project, in Arkansas. We DO, however, transport monthly to the metro Detroit area of MI. Because we’re able to transport, we ARE able to accept adoption applications directly from residents of MI. Why do we transport? Because animal overpopulation is severe in our region, and stray and unwanted dogs have very little chance of finding a home here. These babies are, however, at a high risk of being neglected, abused, abandoned, euthanized or even shot (it’s “the way things are done” for some people down here). YOU are truly one of the only safe and happy endings for the lucky ones we are able to rescue. Upon approval of your adoption application, we will then transport your new furbaby to you in the metro Detroit area for just a small travel expense fee of $50 in addition to the adoption fee. MICHIGAN RESIDENTS—>PLEASE CLICK THE LINK BELOW TO FILL OUT THE ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://new.shelterluv.com/form/other/TAP/2450-michigan-adoption Before we can change your new furbaby’s status from "adoptable" to "adoption pending," the $50 transport fee must be paid to secure the adoption. At that time, we will stop accepting applications. The entire adoption fee must be paid prior to the transport in order to ensure your new baby has a spot on the transport. Thank you SO MUCH for giving a homeless Arkansas pup a chance at a real life with a family of their very own!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Newest update: Nala does not like cats!  UPDATE: Nala is a bit standoffish when she first meets people, she is more comfortable with women than men but still growls and barks when meeting any new people, we are working on socialization skills. She is also doing well with house training but she is  potty pad trained and still uses them from time to time .  Nala is the kind of gal that once she loves you she is yours and prefers to be only yours! I believe Nala would do best with no dogs in the home as she lived in a home with four other dogs and really does prefer one-on-one attention. Preferably only older children that are not loud or no children at all. She loves to play ball, and is currently learning to bring it back to you! Nala does tend to bark a lot when you leave her so probably no apartments, Condominiums, or duplexes for her. I also prefer a fenced yard as as Nala gets the zoomies and loves to run! She also does not have the best recall if she is chasing a bird or squirrel and bunnies! I am still learning more about her as times goes on.  UPDATE: Nala is a Bichon Frise,  3 years old and potty pad trained . So far she's a wonderful lap dog and loves to play with toys. Meet the Quartet of Cuteness!   Nala, Bella Olaf and Big Mac aka Max are all Bichon Frise / Maltese mixes.  They may be a mom, dad and two offspring but we aren't certain.  What we do know is they all came from the same home.  Their owner died and the family was unable to keep them.  Each one has a distinct personality:  Bella is described as an 'attention hog', while Nala is more laid back and will not seek attention, but if you are willing to give it she will happily accept it.  Big Mac aka Max seems more outgoing than Olaf, who prefers at this point to 'observe' his world.  All are said to be good with other dogs and children. All will need time to adjust to a new home and routine.  Even though they are said to be good with other dogs and children, they have only lived together, so all will need slow and proper introductions to children and other dogs.  We don't know how they are with cats.  They all need basic training, including potty training.  Vet appointments for needed vaccines and spay/neuter are being done soon.  Because of their breed, each will require ongoing grooming, an additional cost to consider. We know these littles won't be with us for long so if interested in adopting any of them please apply soon.     Happy Days Dog & Cat Rescue requires a Spay/Neuter Contract by the adopter if puppies and kittens in our care are too young for sterilization at the time of adoption. This is a form the adopter signs at the time of adoption, confirming that they will get the pet spayed/neutered by a certain date. HDDCR holds a deposit [$50 for dogs, $25 for cats] in addition to the adoption fee until we receive proof from a veterinarian that the dog or cat was spayed/neutered by the date stipulated on the Spay/Neuter Contract. The deposit will be refunded to the adopter if spay/neuter was done according to the Spay/Neuter Contract signed by the adopter. Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue microchips all dogs and cats before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the shoulder blades and are another form of identification should the animal get lost. The microchips are registered to Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue. The microchip is transferred to the adopter once the adoption is complete. The adopter is responsible for a one-time $15 microchip enrollment fee, paid at the time of adoption.  Microchips are enrolled with AKC Reunite.    Dogs and Cats still need to have collar with tags should they get lost.
