Pointer puppies and dogs in Greenville, Michigan

Toffee is a 3.5–4-month-old, 20lb puppy, who’s all legs, sweetness, and curiosity. She’s a fun, gentle girl with a naturally shy side, but her confidence grows more each day as she learns about the world around her. She’s currently thriving in a busy foster home with two female resident dogs, three cats, and two teenagers ... she’s handling the everyday chaos beautifully. Toffee is doing great with both house-training and crate-training, and she absolutely loves playing with other dogs. Because Toffee takes cues from confident pups, she will do best in a home with a friendly, well-adjusted dog companion who can help show her the ropes. She’s still learning polite manners with cats (she’s more playful than they prefer), but she’s eager to please and making steady progress with guidance. Toffee is a loving, thoughtful puppy who will blossom in a patient home that can continue building her confidence and helping her shine.

Socialization: Benz is shy when meeting new people and dogs, but has warmed up quickly once he feels comfortable. He will need to adjust to a new living situation, so his new home will have to be patient and give him lots of love. Benz can be a little dominant with some dogs and I think he is a little fearful. He’s young and learning how to interact and play. He’s 1 of 9 dogs in his foster home and does well with all of them. He has appeared overly interested in the cat, so he might chase a cat but if a cat was used to dogs it might work with some training. To be safe I’d say no cats but he’s co-existed with a foster home that had a cat for a month and the cat does disappear when she doesn’t want to be bothered. Training: Benz knows his name and comes when called He’s good in house but I supervise him because he’s still a pup and may chew woodwork, so I watch him. He’s good in a crate and stays there when foster mom is gone and overnight. He may try to countersurf so he's still learning to keep his paws on the ground. Activity requirements: He loves walks and running/playing in yard with sister Mercedes. Between the walks and play with other dogs, he gets plenty of exercise. He likes to chase balls. Fence requirements: A fence would be ideal but if a home was committed to exercising him via leash walks it could work as well. An invisible fence may also be a good option for him. Personality: Benz is a very nice boy! He has steadily gained confidence in foster home. He does love attention and is playful and also cuddly. Health history: He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and on monthly heartworm prevention. His next leish test is due in November 2026. He has no known health issues. This dog originates from Greece where Leishmaniasis is endemic. They tested negative before coming to the USA, but the parasite can remain dormant in the system for many years, so potential adopters must be willing to commit to annual testing for the next 7 years. Typically, the test needs to be sent to a special lab, but any regular vet can draw the blood and send it to the lab. The cost of the test seems to vary widely by area, but is approximately $150-$250. or if your vet is willing to send the test to a veterinary college lab, cost can be as low as $80. Foster comments: An ideal home will love Benz and be committed to giving him a great life! Foster location: Durham, NC Guardian Angels: The typical adoption fee for our dogs is $490, however, Benz has $250 of his adoption fee covered by a donation from the Nikolich Family and another donation of $90 through our Guardian Angel program! As a result, her adoption fee is $150. Read more about our Guardian Angel program here: https://givebutter.com/s34cU4 Transport note: We are able to arrange volunteer transport to get dogs from their foster home to their adopter as long as the adopter and the foster are within a 1,000 mile radius of each other and the adopter is located in the USA. If the adopter is more than 1,000 miles from the foster home, adoption would only be possible if the adopter is willing to drive the distance beyond the 1,000-mile transport limit. Long distance adoptions may also be possible if the adopter is willing to pay for a flight for getting their dog from the foster home to their location if the foster feels this is an appropriate arrangement for the specific dog. Canadian adopters would have to drive into the USA to pick up their dog, as we do not transport outside of the USA. ##2475285##

Socialization: Young lady, Jetta, is a shy girl when you first meet her. She is submissive and will insist on belly rubs as her initial “bonding” activity. Introductions to new surroundings, people and animals should be slow – one at a time, since she can easily be overwhelmed (both leashed and/or through a fence or gate). Once she feels comfortable, she will be paws down and ready to play. Her smaller foster sister is the "Alpha" of the house, and Jetta doesn’t mind getting bossed around and being last in the pecking order. With Jetta’s young age and innocent puppy curiosity – her foster mom thinks she could eventually learn to be pals with cats, but she was not cat tested in her foster home. Training: Jetta is an impressive learner in her foster environment. NO, DOWN, LEAVE IT, SIT, COME and CRATE are her most used commands. She hasn’t had a single accident in her foster home and quickly learned that doggie doors were her gateway to freedom. She does not attempt to escape the yard, and made fast friends with the “mean” dog on the rear fence line. She loves a good pile of sticks to chew, and will dig a small hole here and there, but nothing major so far. At nighttime, Jetta is a crate superstar. She does not chew her fluffy bed, and has a plaid snuggle blankie with her since coming over from Greece. She settles in quickly and you won’t hear a single peep from her overnight. Her foster mom does crate her when she leaves home for an extended time - but it is mostly for Jetta’s safety. She is no longer being closely monitored while in the house. The few times that Jetta was “tested” for 10-15 minutes alone in the house with her foster sister, she did well, waiting anxiously at the window for her foster mom to return. Jetta still needs to learn no jumping and pawing at people, and she is making good progress at that. She is a velcro dog and wants to be as close as possible to her humans, shadowing you from room to room and laying at your feet while you work. Activity requirements: Miss Jetta gets all the activity she wants currently in her foster home. She loves to be outside in the yard during the day. She will venture out there alone sometimes and run in circles while her foster sister naps in the sun and foster mom is working inside. On average, Jetta needs a solid 1-2 hours of intense daily activity to keep her content. Walking Jetta on a leash is a work in progress. She is more of a sniffer than a walker and hasn’t quite figured out yet to keep moving. In perspective, she is doing great (considering her young age) with everything that has been thrown at her in just a few months being in the USA. Fence requirements: Jetta currently has a 5ft aluminum fence on a half-acre lot. She will not do well without a fenced yard (at least 4ft tall) and leash walks only would not be sufficient for her to run out her puppy energy. She might be receptive to an invisible fence but this is not a known nor has it been attempted in her foster environment. Personality: Jetta is very intuitive and smart but still learning her bigger size and how to be gentle. There is a sincere sweetness about her. Jetta would do best with another dog/pet around her for reassurance and comfort. She is very affectionate towards her foster sister - licking her and constantly kissing/grooming her but sometimes gnawing on hind legs and ears until her foster sister tells her to stop. She has rapidly picked up the household routine and etiquette from her observing her foster sister. She just wants your undivided love and attention by “holding” your hand or arm gently in her mouth. Health history: Jetta had a minor ear infection that has been treated and cleared. She also was treated for Giardia when she arrived from Greece and has been rechecked with a negative result. She is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations and on monthly heartworm prevention. Her next Leishmaniasis test is due in November 2026. This dog originates from Greece where Leishmaniasis is endemic. They tested negative before coming to the USA, but the parasite can remain dormant in the system for many years, so potential adopters must be willing to commit to annual testing for the next 7 years.

The cost of the test seems to vary widely by area, but is approximately $150-$250. or if your vet is willing to send the test to a veterinary college lab, cost can be as low as $80. Foster comments: Jetta will need a loving, patient and attentive home. She will do very well with training when rewarded for good behavior. Repetitive positive reinforcement works very well on her. She is a sweet girl who is ready for her forever home! Foster location: Rock Hill, SC Guardian Angels: The typical adoption fee for our dogs is $490, however, Jetta has $340 of her adoption fee covered by a donation through our Guardian Angel program! As a result, her adoption fee is $150.

Socialization: Rivian is another one of our sweet pointer puppies at the Rescue Ranch! She can be very shy when meeting new people, especially men, and can take her time to warm up. With some love and gaining trust, she comes around and becomes your best friend. She has been around my son who has just turned 1 and loved him! She was licking giving him kisses and snuggling up next to him. Rivian does do well with other dogs, but she can be selective, as she is very dominant and can be a little pushy at times. With guided introductions and time to acclimate, she is perfectly fine with other dogs. I think she would do well in a home with a male dog or a submissive female. I personally do not think that Rivian would be best suited in a home with a cat, possibly with a slow introduction and time to acclimate to them.  Training: We have been working on basic obedience with Rivian. She is nailing sit currently! She is highly treat motivated and eager to learn. She does jump up and counter surf sometimes, but we are working on that and she is getting better and better by the day. She should be crated when left alone for her safety and for peace of mind, at least for the first few months so she can get a feel for her surroundings. She is getting very good at going to the kennel door when she needs to go to the bathroom and her kennel is always clean when we come in! Activity requirements: Rivian is an energetic puppy. Leash walking would benefit her, one or two good long walks a day would keep her happy and mentally stimulated. She does love Kongs filled with peanut butter and it keeps her distracted and busy! Rivian is very good on the leash. She is currently learning heel and how to loose leash walk. She tends to want to play tag a lot, which can make it difficult while luring her back inside! Fence requirements: A physical fence would be ideal for her, but she can likely be trained to an invisible fence. She would also do well without a fenced yard if her adopter would be able to give her at least one good long walk per day to burn off her energy. Dog parks are not a good option for her, as she is more dominant and needs to warm up to other dogs first. Personality: Rivian is a goofy girl. She can be stubborn at times and a little bit sassy but is overall a sweetheart. Rivian loves to play tag and run out in the yard playing with her toys. She loves rope toys, and Kongs specifically. She is very shy at first but is very cuddly and social once she warms up. She may need a slow intro to any dogs already in the home. Health history: Kia is a healthy puppy, she is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and on monthly heartworm prevention. Her next leish test will be due in November 2026. This dog originates from Greece where Leishmaniasis is endemic. They tested negative before coming to the USA, but the parasite can remain dormant in the system for many years, so potential adopters must be willing to commit to annual testing for the next 7 years. Typically, the test needs to be sent to a special lab, but any regular vet can draw the blood and send it to the lab. The cost of the test seems to vary widely by area, but is approximately $150-$250. or if your vet is willing to send the test to a veterinary college lab, cost can be as low as $80. Foster comments: Rivian is an adorable and beautiful pointer puppy. She is very clever is always the suspicious one when it comes to going into the kennel at night! Any family would be lucky to have this beautiful girl! Foster location: Kalamazoo, MI Guardian Angels: The typical adoption fee for our dogs is $490, however, Rivian has $340 of her adoption fee covered by a donation through our Guardian Angel program!

Socialization: Mercedes can be shy when meeting new people, but she warms up once she feels at ease. She does well with other dogs and loves her littermate Benz and the other dogs in her foster home. There is a cat that she hasn’t interacted much with but she could probably live with a cat or cats who were used to dogs. Training: Mercedes is good in the house and is crated when foster mom is gone and overnight. She is good in her crate. She can chew things, so foster mom supervises her and her brother Benz since at 10.5 mos they can still get into mischief. She comes when called and overall is a very good girl. Activity requirements: Mercedes and her brother Benz like going on walks together. They are both still shy but have made great strides in confidence while out walking. She loves to play in the yard and runs with her brother and also likes to retrieve a tennis ball-she won’t usually bring it back but loves to chase it. Between a daily walk and running /playing in the yard she gets enough exercise. Fence requirements: A fenced yard is ideal but while it would be easier to have a fenced yard, she could go to a home that can provide lots of exercise without a fenced yard in other ways. An invisible fence may also be an option for her. Personality: Mercedes is a very sweet dog who does love cuddling and attention. She loves chewing on her bone and hanging out in the evening. She is great in that she’s active but once she’s exercised, she’s calm and happy to be wherever her human is. She is a playful and social dog but she is initially shy until she feels comfortable. Health history:  She is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and on monthly heartworm prevention. She's a very healthy dog with no medical issues. Her next leishmaniasis test is due in November, 2026. This dog originates from Greece where Leishmaniasis is endemic. They tested negative before coming to the USA, but the parasite can remain dormant in the system for many years, so potential adopters must be willing to commit to annual testing for the next 7 years.

The cost of the test seems to vary widely by area, but is approximately $150-$250. or if your vet is willing to send the test to a veterinary college lab, cost can be as low as $80.

Socialization: Kia is a sweet pup that is in our Rescue Ranch with her 3 sisters. She warms up quickly and is well socialized. Kia is playful and loves other dogs. She can guard her toys, but with time when she learns what is hers, I believe that will diminish. Cats and kids are unknown. Training: We are just starting to work on some training with the girls at the ranch. All of the puppies are power chewers, and need kong or other strong toys. They enjoy chewing on ropes as well. House training, jumping and counter surfing are a work in progress, but their litter mates in homes have learned and caught on very quickly. Crating is needed for now for their own safety. Activity requirements: These puppies are active, but mind games do help to wear them out. They would prefer a fenced yard, but daily long walks would also work well for them. Leash training is a work in progress and our staff at the ranch is working with them on leash walking. Fence requirements: Some sort of running should be available to the puppies daily. Physical fences are preferred, but they can likely be trained to an invisible fence as well. Personality: Kia is sweet and affectionate puppy! She enjoys play with other dogs, but can also be content chewing on a bone by herself. Health history: Kia is a healthy puppy, she is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and on monthly heartworm prevention. Her next leish test will be due in November 2026. This dog originates from Greece where Leishmaniasis is endemic. They tested negative before coming to the USA, but the parasite can remain dormant in the system for many years, so potential adopters must be willing to commit to annual testing for the next 7 years. Typically, the test needs to be sent to a special lab, but any regular vet can draw the blood and send it to the lab. The cost of the test seems to vary widely by area, but is approximately $150-$250. or if your vet is willing to send the test to a veterinary college lab, cost can be as low as $80. Foster comments: Kia is such a cute and sweet tri-color pointer puppy! She loves to play and snuggle up in the evening. She enjoys running and chewing on bones and Kongs. She's a very happy puppy and we're excited for her to find her happily ever after! Foster location: Kalamazoo, MI Guardian Angels: The typical adoption fee for our dogs is $490, however, Kia has had $100 of her adoption fee covered by her Guardian Angel in memory of Peach and another Guardian Angel has donated an additional $240 of her adoption fee! As a result, her adoption fee is $150. !
