Story
Who is that cutie peeking at you through the gate with those teefers! Essie is estimated to be about 4 years old and weighs 13 pounds. Poor sweet Essie, she came to us very matted and quite scared, as you can see from some of her before pictures, she was a mess, but she looks fabulous now! Not only does she feel better, Essie is also just blossoming and showing us the true, loving girl she really is! Every day she is getting a little braver and is opening up more and we are very proud of her. One of Essie's favorite things is if you sit on the floor, she likes to snuggle on your lap and loves to give kisses. Essie is still afraid of fast movements, so you really have to move slow with her, that is very important. She is starting to get used to a leash and really seems to be enjoying her walks now. She will need a patient adopter who will give her the time she needs to feel safe and help build her confidence. Essie will also need a quiet, more predictable type home where any children are at least 13 years old. She would love it if you came to meet her, she can't wait for a family to love and who will care for her like she deserves. If you are interested in Essie 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
***Daisy is in a foster home, so she is not at the kennel. If you are interested in her, please fill out an application at K9stray.com and we will be in touch. Thank you.*** What a happy girl! Daisy is estimated to be about 6 years old and weighs 27 pounds. Meet Daisy, she has the waggiest tail and is so fun spirited! Sadly, her owner had to go into an assisted living facility, and Daisy found herself at the rescue. She came to us quite matted, but she looks just wonderful now after a nice trip to the groomer. Daisy is very social and likes to greet everyone with her friendly manner. This girl also loves her walks, she happily trots along and likes to use her nose too and smell everything. She is a little rotund at the moment though and could definitely lose a few pounds, so it would be great if her new family likes to walk and maybe play with her, she just loves toys. Daisy can't wait to be back in a home with someone to love her, she really is going to make such a nice little friend. She would love it if you came to meet her. She will need a home where any children are at least 13 years old as she lived in a quieter, low key type of home and that is what she is used to. **We have a wonderful update from her foster mom: Daisy is a very sweet dog. She gets along great with my six dogs who are all sizes and breeds. She is house trained and lets you know when she needs to go outside. She willingly goes into her crate for feedings and to sleep at night. She might be a little older, and a little chunky, but she is a real sweetheart. She is very gentle and likes to be where you are. Someone is going to get a very special dog.** If you are interested in Daisy 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.

Story
***Pongo is in a foster home, so he is not at the kennel. If you are interested in him, please fill out an application at K9stray.com and we will be in touch. Thank you.*** Pongo is the softest boy ever, you can't help but want to pet him all the time! He is estimated to be about 12 years old and weighs 16 pounds. What a very smart boy and even though he is a senior (12 years young), you'd never know it by looking at his energy. He loves going on multiple walks a day, there is just so much to look at and to smell, Pongo thinks walks are the best. He has been diagnosed with stage 2 renal failure and will need a special diet for the rest of his life, but it doesn't slow him down. He likes to play with his toys and especially his tennis balls. He has very good house manners and sleeps all night. His foster mom has not seen any separation anxiety. He rides in the car very well and has no problem being crated but prefers the door open. At night he sleeps either on one of his beds or in a crate with the door open. Pongo hasn't been around other cats or dogs while with in foster but has seen other wildlife, deer, cranes, and turkeys, and hasn't tried chasing them. His “mom” noticed he is not trusting of men so expect to give him extra time to get to know you. He is used to a quieter, more low-key type of home, so any children need to be at least 13 years old. Pongo would love it if you would like to meet him, he would like be part of a loving family again for his golden years. If you are interested in Pongo and are at least 21 years old, please 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.

Thank you for your interest in rescue. please fill out an application Blair’s Buddies Pet Rescue Adoption Application at: https://form.jotform.com/92997860676177 and a foster will contact you and answer any questions you may have. Thank you. Hi! Lola is 8 months old. Came from a breeder that didn’t end up breeding her. She is a good girl that loves attention. We are working on potty training. She does her morning business outside but throughout the day it’s hit or miss but over all good. Sleeps perfect in a crate at night. Loves kids! I am also fostering an 8 week old kitten she is curious but no prey drive. I also have big cats of my own she has no problem with. I have a female dog of my own 20lbs she gets along great with. I’m watching a 100lb male dog and she had no problems with him either. She actually try’s to play with him but he is 10 and has arthritis so he just stands there. lol

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. MEET HAZY:  Meet Hazy: The Sweetest, Snuggliest Introvert Looking for Her Quiet Forever Hello, my name is Hazy. I’m about 2 years and 7 months old, and my journey hasn’t been an easy one. I was found as a stray in Detroit, scared, confused, and covered in painful mats. I didn’t know kindness, and the world felt very big and loud. My time was almost up until my angels at Furever Tails Animal Rescue saved me. Now, I’m safe in a foster home, and I’m learning what love feels like. I’m ready to find my person—my true forever home. Here’s what you should know about me: My Personality:I am a certified introvert and a gentle soul. I’m not a social butterfly; I’m more of a "stay-at-home-and-snuggle" kind of girl. Loud noises, busy places, and lots of strangers are too much for my nervous heart. I dream of a calm, low-key home where the vibe is peaceful. My Friends: I can politely coexist with other calm, mellow dogs my size and with cats, as long as they respect my space (I’m not much for playdates). But I don’t need animal siblings—I would be perfectly happy as your one-and-only, soaking up all your attention. My Home Needs:Because I startle easily, I *must* have a securely fully fenced yard. I should never be left outside alone or tethered. Social walks are scary for me, so my outdoor time will be best in my own safe yard. My People: I am currently living with a wonderful, patient foster family with two women and two rescue-savvy teens. I do best with calm, predictable adults or older teens who understand shy dogs. A home without lots of visitors or chaotic energy is my ideal. The Most Important Thing: I am *not a "turn-key" dog*. I will need time, immense patience, and quiet consistency to learn to trust. I am not recommended for first-time dog owners. But I promise you this: once I know I am safe with you, my love is boundless. I will become your most loyal shadow, your bed-snuggling expert, and your quiet, devoted companion. I am looking for a hero—not someone who wants a party, but someone who offers a peaceful harbor. Someone who sees that a shy, timid dog has a huge capacity for love waiting to bloom. If you have a quiet heart and a quiet home, and you’re ready to commit to earning the trust of a sweet, sensitive soul… then I might be your girl. Could you be my safe place? Interested in giving Hazy her happily ever after? Please fill out an adoption application and we will get back to you shortly. Share to help Hazy find her perfect, patient match!
