Story
Meet Remi – A Gentle Heart Ready to Bloom
Remi is a 1-year-old, 11-pound Shih Tzu/Poodle mix (best guess) whose story is a reminder that sometimes all a dog needs is a little patience, kindness, and love to truly shine.
Found as a stray on the streets of Detroit, Remi was never reclaimed and found himself in an overcrowded shelter—a frightening place for a sensitive little dog. Unsure of his surroundings and overwhelmed by the noise and commotion, Remi kept to himself. To make matters worse, his coat was matted and overgrown. Thankfully, with some much-needed TLC, careful grooming, and plenty of compassion, we were able to save his beautiful, soft, curly coat.
Today, Remi is beginning to discover that the world isn't such a scary place.
He has done wonderfully with the other dogs in his foster home and has shown no concerns around cats. Because he can be a bit insecure and hesitant with loud noises or busy environments, we believe he would thrive in a calmer home with older, dog-savvy children who understand that trust takes time and gentle encouragement.
Remi has demonstrated a good understanding of house manners, is crate trained, and walks nicely on a leash. He's also food motivated, making continued training both rewarding and enjoyable. While he enjoys getting out for walks, he is not a suitable candidate for a tether, tie-out or invisible fence system. Like all of our dogs, Remi deserves the safety, companionship, and freedom that come with being a cherished member of the family.
Remi enjoys attention from the people he trusts and is learning that love and kindness are things he can count on. Watching him come out of his shell has been incredibly rewarding, and we know his forever family will have the privilege of seeing his sweet personality blossom even more.
Because of his Shih Tzu/Poodle heritage, Remi will require regular professional grooming to keep his coat healthy, comfortable, and free from mats.
Remi has already overcome so much. Now all that's missing is a family willing to give him the time, patience, and unconditional love he deserves. In return, you'll gain a loyal little companion whose gratitude is written in every tail wag and every quiet cuddle.
Could you be the one to show Remi that he's finally home? He's ready to find the family that will love him furever.

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 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.
