Story
MEET PENNY: Age: 4 years  Weight: 16 lbs  Breed: Shih Tzu Mix   Penny arrived at the shelter in Detroit as a stray, scared and confused. Sadly, no one came to claim her, and she spent nearly a month in the shelter, misunderstood and overlooked. It was eventually discovered that Penny is missing an eye, a condition that seems to stem from a developmental issue at birth. Despite her minor flaw, Penny has adjusted remarkably well to her circumstances, proving that it is not a disability. Penny is a sweet and affectionate girl who thrives on companionship. She may be initially hesitant around new and unfamiliar faces, but she quickly warms up to those who show her kindness. Once she feels comfortable, Penny is very social and loves being close to her people. She's a true "velcro" dog who enjoys seeking out attention and affection. Right now her fur is short and shaved down due to matting, but eventually she will need regular grooming, and having an experienced and patient groomer is important. Penny would thrive in a quieter home where the environment is calm and stable. Due to her shyness, she is not suited for a household with young children. She has some fear of leashes, so she will need a physically fenced yard where she can play and explore safely. While she is house-trained and crate-trained, Penny appreciates having her own space and is tolerant of other low-energy dogs. Penny is ready to find her forever home where she can be spoiled and showered with unconditional love. She deserves a family that understands her needs and will allow her to flourish in a gentle and nurturing environment. If you're looking for a sweet, low-maintenance companion who's eager to form a special bond, Penny might just be the perfect fit!

Story
MEET GRAHAM: Breed: Shih TzuAge: 7 months Graham is a sweet, 7-month-old Shih Tzu who is ready to find his forever home! After being surrendered by his owner, Graham has been looking for a loving family that can provide him with the care and attention he needs. Despite his initial shyness, he is a loving and affectionate puppy with a lot of potential. Graham is a gentle spirit who gets along with other dogs and has no issues with cats. He would do best in a home with older, dog-savvy children who understand how to interact patiently with a shy puppy. He is alert and aware of his surroundings, making him a great little watchdog who will let you know if something is amiss! As a puppy, Graham will require regular grooming to maintain his beautiful coat. He has a good understanding of house manners and is currently working on crate training. Since he is still learning about the world, he will need a physical fenced yard to ensure he can play safely. Tethering is not recommended for him, as he thrives in an environment where he can roam and explore. He also has no experience with leash walks so he will need to learn those skills slowly. Graham is also not familiar with toys yet, but with some encouragement, he can discover the joys of playtime! Graham is looking for a caring and supportive family that can offer him patience and love as he adjusts to his new environment. A home with a secure, fenced yard and someone who can help him develop leash skills would be ideal. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this sweet boy, he’s sure to bring joy and warmth to your life! If you are interested in adopting Graham and giving him the loving home he deserves, please consider completing an adoption application. Don’t miss the chance to create wonderful memories with this adorable puppy! Graham  is:Current on Rabies and DistemperDewormedHeartworm Tested: NegativeReceiving Heartworm and Flea PreventionMicrochippedScheduled to be neutered at our partner Veterinary office in Chesterfield on 12/10. ADOPTION FEE: $425 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 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)! Fill out the application (DOG:https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=dr1937&method=online_form_html&formid=44, CAT: https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=dr1937&method=online_form_html&formid=41, EXOTICS: https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=dr1937&method=online_form_html&formid=46) completely.

The entire household, including current dogs, must be present for the appointment. (Note: Please do not bring your dogs if you are meeting cats!).
