Story
🐾 Meet Twinkle – Freshly Groomed and Looking for Her Special Home 🐾 Hi, I’m Twinkle, a 4-year-old Shih Tzu who’s ready to find a loving home! I just got a fresh grooming and I’m feeling fabulous. Originally, we were told my sister Angel and I had to be adopted together, but after spending more time in our foster home, we’re confident that we can be adopted either together or apart. However, having a confident dog in the home would be ideal for me! A little about me: 🐶 I’m blind, which means I need a stable, consistent environment where I can memorize my surroundings and navigate with confidence. I may not see the world, but I use my other senses—hearing, smell, and touch—to explore. Note: I have a follow-up vet appointment this Tuesday to check my eyes and confirm that my blindness isn’t neurological, but I’m feeling great! Why you’ll love me: 💖 I’m sweet, calm, and quiet, making me perfect for a peaceful home. 💖 I adore gentle affection and am learning to trust and embrace the kindness of human touch. 💖 I’m a loyal companion who will bring love and warmth into your life. My ideal home: ✔️ A quiet, stable environment where I can adapt at my own pace. ✔️ Adults or kids aged 14+ who can offer a calm and loving space. ✔️ Someone with the patience and understanding to help me feel safe and cherished. ✔️ A confident dog in the home would be a bonus! Did you know? Blind dogs like me can adapt beautifully with time, patience, and consistency. I just need someone who understands my needs and is willing to help me thrive! I’m based in Holly, MI, and I’m so excited to find my forever family. 🐾 Apply to adopt me: www.sgdhrescue.dog Thank you for considering giving me the loving home I deserve!

Story
Meet Mr. Magoo!!! Mr. Magoo came to us when we received a plea that he needed out of the shelter for medical care they couldn't provide. Our sweet Mr. Magoo had a perineal hernia that needed to be repaired or would be facing euthanasia. After securing an AMAZING foster mom, we swooped him up to safety and the rest is history! Mr. Magoo was found as a stray and is estimated to be 10 years young. He is such a perfect boy, we can't believe no one came for him at the shelter. Not only is he as cute as a button, he is a super sweet boy. He is friendly with both cats, dogs and everyone he has met. He recently went for a grooming where he received a great report card and everyone there just loved him. Mr. Magoo is potty trained and does great when he is left out when his foster mom goes to work. He just sleeps until she gets home. He walks great on his leash and really enjoys going for walks and playing with his toys as well. Honestly he is a perfect mix of playful and cuddly. So if you are looking to add this sweet boy to your family, APPLY TODAY!!! *Estimated to be 10 years young *Approx. 13 lbs. *UTD on vaccines, neutered and chipped *Recently had a perineal hernia repaired and is recovering really well *Recently had bloodwork done that came back unremarkable *Loves to go for walks and play with toys *Rides great in the car *Does great with his routine grooming (Will require groomings) *Dog and cat friendly *Perfect mix of playful and cuddly *Great personality Application: https://peaceloveandpawsrescue.com/adopt%2Ffoster-application

We do our best to provide information that will help determine if the animal might be a good fit for you. Please note that behaviors may change in a home environment. We also ask our applicants to assume that any animal they adopt from us will need to be potty-trained and learn house manners, although this is not always the case. In most cases, the listed breeds are also a best guess. Our online animal bios are designed to provide as much information as possible and answer some anticipated questions. We do not have the resources to respond to emails with more specific questions.We are receiving an unusually high number of applications at this time! Applications are reviewed as they are received, but we do not select adopters on a first-come basis. Our job is to ensure each pet is placed into the best fit home for them and that adopters are paired with an animal that is a good fit for their lifestyle. All animals will stay online until they are “pending adoption”. Therefore, if an animal is still listed, we are still accepting applications for him/her! Please do not send inquiries about a specific animal's availability as this can change quickly over the course of the day. The fastest way to get a response is to simply submit an application! We will do our best to notify you by email if the pet(s) you are interested in are no longer available. New animals are posted daily, so please let us know if another furry friend peaks your interest (there is no need to fill out a second application)!
