Story
🌊☀️ Catch Some Sunshine with Teefers! ☀️🌊 Every beach day needs a little sunshine, and Pixie is ready to bring plenty of it to her forever family! 🐾💕 Pixie is a 3-year-old Rat Terrier mix who is ready to find her perfect home where she can relax, feel safe, and let her sweet personality shine. Like a little seashell waiting to be discovered, Pixie may be a little shy at first—but with patience and kindness, she quickly opens up into a playful, affectionate, and loving companion. 🌸 🌴 A little more about Pixie: 🐾 Current on vaccinations and prevention 🐾 She is Spayed 🐾 Loves attention and is very food motivated 🐾 A true dog-lover who enjoys canine companionship 🐾 Potty trained and pee pad trained 🐾 Enjoys car rides and rides well 🐾 Has done great free-roaming with other dogs 🐾 Not crate trained—crates can feel scary for her 🐾 No exposure to children yet Pixie is a high-energy little beach buddy who loves being part of the action. She enjoys playtime, attention, and spending time with her favorite people. She does have separation anxiety when left home alone without another dog, so she would do best with a family who is home often or has a friendly canine companion to keep her company. 🌊 Pixie is looking for a home where she can soak up the love, enjoy some adventures, and continue growing in confidence. In return, she'll bring endless affection, happy wiggles, and a whole lot of love. 🏖️ Could Pixie be the missing piece to your family’s summer memories? 👉 Apply to adopt: underdogrescueranch.com/adopt

Story
Do you have room in your heart for a lovebug who deserves a second chance at happiness? 12 year-old Ellie came from an owner surrender when her main caretaker died suddenly and his spouse was not able to care for her. Ellie is quite lean and muscular at 15 lbs., and is fit and active! She has come such a long way since coming into her foster home -- she was not used to living with other dogs and she now joyfully zooms around the backyard with her foster siblings, even keeping pace with the youngest 1-year-old pup!   Ellie is a good watchdog, but sometimes has to be reminded  to stop barking. She is house-trained when kept on a schedule. Since life has been hard for Ellie, she craves attention and is looking for a home with someone who is retired or works from home, and perhaps a canine companion too! She can be an escape artist and will need a very secure fenced yard. Ellie is very sweet and loving and really deserves a comfy home and steady companionship. For photos and more of her story please go to  https://imageevent.com/newrattitude/ellie .  If you are interested in adopting this dog, PLEASE READ THE DETAILED ADOPTION PROCESS information on our website at www. NewRattitude.org/adopt/  From there, you can access our adoption application or contact our Adoption Team for more info.October 31, 2026, 10:09 am

Story
Hi, I'm Dude and I am a sweet male rat terrier who was an owner surrender. The only reason for my owner giving me up was he had too many dogs. I am active but also cuddly, a good range of both. I would love to go on adventures, I do well on the leash. I come fixed, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and heartworm tested negative.

Story
Hi, I`m Coco Cookie. I`m 6 years old, and I`m hoping you might be the person I`ve been waiting for!I once had a dad who loved me very much. He recently passed away, and now I`m trying to understand why my whole world has changed again. My dad`s family says that years ago, he found me tied to a tree. He rescued me, loved me, and showed me what it meant to finally be safe.I was so happy to have a home and a person of my own. I even got to live with kitty friends and a Chihuahua!But now, through absolutely no fault of my own, I`m looking for another family.I`ve already known what it`s like to be abandoned. I`ve known what it`s like to finally be loved and then lose the person who meant everything to me. So what I`m really hoping for now is simple:I don`t need a perfect family. I just need someone who will love me, keep me safe, and let me spend the rest of my life knowing that I`m finally home.I think it`s my turn for a happily ever after, I hope with you!Personality: Affectionate, Athletic, Brave, Friendly, Funny, Gentle, Smart, Loyal, PlayfulHouse-trained: YesSpayed/Neutered:YesVaccinated:YesGood with kids, dogs, and cats.Estimated birthday~~8/1/19_____Standard and Special Breed adoption fees includes age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm test, spay/neuter and microchip!Please click on the links for adoption application and more information:paawarren.org/adopt/adoption-application-formpaawarren.orgwww.avocato.org***PAAW’s Avocato Catfe’ is open in Farmington Hills!

Story
Lucy‘s only disability-she has three legs, missing front left. Adopted her 1 week post amputation from local animal shelter on 9/23/26. She’s 15 months old and requires elevated food and water dishes (supplied). Avoiding future leg injuries, she needs to maintain a weight of 15 pounds, unless she gets bigger, which is doubtful, as dogs carry 60% of their weight on their front legs. Lucy is a sweet, sensitive, smart, protective, loving, playful girl with an extremely active mind! She would need a secure fenced in yard and only crated for short times per day, 4 hours max. Someone active that works from home, very active retiree, very active stay at home parent would be best suited for Lucy. She needs someone that is going to be very active! I have been diagnosed with lupus and have extreme fatigue, sadly I am not able to provide her the amount of activity she needs. I do crate her while away & sleep at night. Free only to a VERY GOOD home. Very serious inquiries only please.
