Story
Meet the Inferno Pack – EMBER! Date of Birth: September 27, 2025Breed: Rottweiler & German ShepherdWeight: 22lbs (and growing) Ember is a bold and confident young pup with a heart as big as her spirit. She was surrendered along with her siblings and comes from impressive stock—her mom is a purebred Rottweiler and her dad a purebred German Shepherd. Ember has faced some challenges early in life, having suffered a growth plate injury that required amputation of one leg. Despite this, she is resilient and full of energy, ready to embrace life with her new family. This fun-loving girl plays rough and is best matched with large or extra-large dogs who can keep up with her tank-like playstyle. She’s not suited for homes with small or senior dogs, as she’s still learning appropriate boundaries and can be a bit exuberant. Ember is currently working on resource guarding, especially around her food bowl—a common Rottweiler trait. To help, she uses a slow feeder dish because she’s extremely food motivated and tends to eat fast. Smart and eager to learn, Ember already knows several commands including sit, leave it, wait, come, touch (nose to hand), "let's go," and she understands “go outside.” She is crate trained, fully potty trained, and will let you know when she needs to go out. While she hasn’t had much leash experience yet, she is progressing well. Ember sleeps through the night but will wake you up if she needs a potty break or it’s time to start the day. She’s a sweet girl who gets along well with the kids in her foster home. Like many puppies, she can be a bit mouthy when excited but nothing out of the ordinary. Ember would thrive best with an active, experienced family with older, dog-savvy children who can keep up with her energy and help guide her into a well-mannered adult dog. Looking for a confident, playful, and smart companion to join your active lifestyle? Ember might be the one for you! Ember can go home with you but will remain in foster-to-adopt status until the sterilization surgery has been completed at 6 months of age at one of our partner veterinary offices (Chesterfield, Clawson, Clinton Twp, or Rochester), which is included in the adoption fee and is non-negotiable. Ember is:Current on age-appropriate vaccinations DewormedReceiving Heartworm and Flea PreventionMicrochippedWill be scheduled for neuter surgery at one of partner Veterinary offices at 6 months of age.ADOPTION FEE: $375 IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS PET, PLEASE COMPLETE THE APPROPRIATE APPLICATION FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE HTTP://FUREVERTAILS.COM. Unfortunately, at this time we are not currently adopting outside of the state of MI. We process applications ONLY - there is no guarantee that you will get a response to an inquiry. Many of the animals in our foster program come to us with limited or unknown histories. We make every effort to evaluate each animal’s temperament and behavior, including testing their interactions with other dogs, cats, and children (defined as individuals under the age of 18, when available). However, every animal is unique—just as every child and household environment is different. While we strive to set both our foster animals and adoptive families up for success through thorough assessments and transparent communication, **we cannot guarantee any specific behavioral outcome**. Animals can be unpredictable by nature, and behavior may change in new environments or over time. By proceeding with adoption or foster placement, applicants acknowledge and accept this inherent risk and agree that no guarantees, either expressed or implied, are made regarding the temperament or behavior of any animal placed through our program. FUREVER TAILS IS A NON-PROFIT, NO-KILL, FOSTER HOME BASED ANIMAL RESCUE BASED OUT OF OAKLAND TOWNSHIP, MI. OUR FOSTER ANIMALS ARE LIVING IN FOSTER HOMES AND TREATED LIKE FAMILY UNTIL THEY FIND THEIR OWN FUREVER FAMILIES. OUR ADOPTION PROECESS REQUIRES AN APPLICATION TO BE COMPLETED AND APPROVED BEFORE A MEET-N-GREET WITH THE ANIMAL CAN TAKE PLACE. ADOPTION FEES ARE NECESSARY TO HELP US COVER VETTING COSTS FOR OUR RESCUED ANIMALS. ##2588518##

Story
Maxine has the most beautiful coloring! She is estimated to be about a year old and weighs 38 pounds. Meet Maxine, a delightful young lady with a heart as big as her playful spirit! This attentive girl is always looking for soft pets and love. Maxine is a real people-pleaser and is eager to learn, already mastering the 'sit' command and fetching tennis balls with a gentle, soft mouth. She's a little ray of sunshine, full of spunk and she does the cutest play bows! She can be a little submissive when there is a lot going on though, so some confidence building would be amazing for her. Maxine is on the lookout for a family who has the time up front to work on trust building and positive socialization - she is open and ready to understand the world but needs a leader to guide her. She will need a home where any children are at least 13 years old. Maxine can’t wait to have a forever family to love. If there is another nice doggy sibling in the home, Maxine would love to meet them. She has a loose approach with other dogs with play bows. She seems very open to engaging, but everything seems new to her, and she likes to “check in” with you for guidance. If you are interested in Maxine 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
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Buddy, one of two new residents at The Mikey & Me Kennels in Chelsea for Happy Days Rescue. Buddy is a Rottweiler Mix, he’s extremely sweet, I believe him to be about 8 months of age, and he weighs about 45 pounds. He sits patiently in his kennel at mealtime and he is just starting to enjoy going outdoors. We could see that going outdoors is something Buddy had to assess and evaluate for his safety. I don’t think Buddy has had much outdoor time but he’s slowly adapting to this new world. Buddy has a beautiful, short-haired coat. His first Vet appt. in Dexter is scheduled for Tuesday, November 25th. He will have a physical exam, heart worm test, and he will receive other vaccinations at that time. He came to us with some vaccinations and he’s been on flea/tick meds.  If you would like to meet this handsome boy, please submit an adoption application under his name at  happydaysdogandcatrescue.org . Otherwise, please share Buddy’s bio with your friends and family so he can be in a warm family home for the Holidays. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143       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 adopter's information is added once the adoption is complete. The adopter is responsible for a $19.99/Year registration fee or a $45.00/Lifetime registration fee to change information.    Dogs and Cats still need to have collar with tags should they get lost.

Story
Bowser A18131070 lb. neutered male, approx 2 years old -This boy is looking for a home where someone can be patient with him and go slow-He enjoys pets but they definitely seem newer to him. Once he was able to relax, he was leaning in for more!-He is treat motivated, sits for the most part and takes them very gently-He found the toy bin and rooted through it until he found a ball! He was flipping it all over the place. The ball seems to be his favorite and he didn’t care for the stuffies.-The more comfortable he got the more playful he became. Pressing into me and pawing at me. All very gentle.-Good boy who needs someone to go slow with him-Walks nicely with minimal pulling. Loves to sniff and explore everything while on walks.-Seems non reactive to dogs nearby and may do well living with a fur sibling after slow and proper intros Unknown behavior with dogs/cats/kids •Meet all of our adoptable pets on our website friendsofdacc.org/adopt •Please keep in mind that the shelter can be a very stressful environment. •Studies show that a minimum of 3 days decompression drastically lower stress hormones and allow the dog to show more personality after they have settled in. •There is a suggested donation of $100 for our dogs, payable by cash, check or through paypal at the time of the adoption. •To meet them please go to front door and a DACC staff member will assist you with adoption or fostering. **And when coming to meet one of our dogs, please bring all the humans with you, but leave any current dogs at home.

Story
**If you are interested in adopting Zeus, please contact Paolo at roz-ross-cabinets@sbcglobal.net ** Zeus is a 10-year-old Doberman who has been with his family since he was a puppy. He’s a loyal, loving boy who truly thrives when he can be the center of attention — the only big baby in the home. Zeus prefers an adult-only household and would do best as the only dog. He does not like children or other dogs, and his reaction to cats is unknown. A few years ago, Zeus had a negative experience when a child jumped on his back and pulled his tail. Since then, he has been uncomfortable around kids. While Zeus has never bitten, he will growl when he feels stressed or unsafe, so a calm, child-free environment is essential. In the right home, Zeus is a devoted companion who wants nothing more than love, stability, and someone who understands his boundaries. His family is making the difficult decision to rehome him as they prepare to welcome a baby and want to ensure Zeus is placed in a situation where he can feel secure and relaxed. Zeus would be a wonderful match for an experienced, adult-only home looking for a loyal companion to spoil and love. ❤️ *This pet is featured through our Pet Re-Homing Program. This is a private pet. Please use your best judgement when deciding to meet. Any questions or comments regarding this pet should be directed to the owner listed. Again, this is not a pet affiliated with Oakland County Animal Shelter. This program was created to help residents of Oakland County needing placement of a loving pet and hopefully avoiding a stressful shelter environment.
