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

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. 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
What a perfect sit Bitsy has! She is estimated to be about 4 years old and weighs 14 pounds. Meet Bitsy, the spunky, fun-spirited girl who is ready to bring boundless joy into your life! This affectionate gal loves nothing more than cuddling up with her favorite human and being close. As you can see from her video, she loves to play with tennis balls and toys, showing off her lively personality. Bitsy has a bit of a sassy streak though, so her new adopter will need to set some boundaries and establish themselves as the leader. Bitsy is eager to learn and will thrive with a little guidance and lots of love. She will need an adult only home. Bisty would just love it if you came to meet her, she is ready to have a family to love her forever. If you are interested in Bitsy 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.

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!

Story
Meet Lizzie, a super sweet, calm, and relaxing little dog who is the perfect companion for anyone looking for a wonderful, low-key pet. With her low energy level and gentle demeanor, Lizzie is happiest when she is sleeping, eating, or enjoying one of her absolute favorite activities: riding in the car, where she behaves like an absolute angel. While she can be a little shy when first meeting strangers, she is inherently friendly and warms up with just a little time and patience. She is highly independent and shows no signs of separation anxiety, meaning she is completely fine when left alone. Lizzie is incredibly trustworthy, does not bark excessively, and can be left loose in the house without any worry, as she does not chew on furniture or shoes. When it comes to daily life, Lizzie loves a cozy routine. At night, she likes to split her time between sleeping in bed with her humans and resting in her own dog bed. Lizzie is mostly potty-trained but can have the occasional accident. Because she does not have a specific signal to let you know she needs to go outside, she thrives when kept on a regular schedule, such as going for walks first thing in the morning, after meals, before bed, and periodically throughout the day. Lizzie is an incredibly low-maintenance dog who does not require much exercise, a perfect partner for someone who enjoys being a couch potato from time to time. She gets along well with other dogs and has no discernible prey drive, though it is currently unknown how she would do around cats. Additionally, she is wonderful to handle for basic care; she recently went to a professional groomer and did a fantastic job. She willingly allows her foster mom to give her baths, trim her nails, and clean her ears. Overall, Lizzie is a quiet, gentle soul who will bring immense comfort, relaxation, and love to a peaceful home. *Estimated to be 5-8 years old *9 lbs. of cuteness *Spayed, UTD on vaccines and microchipped *Dog friendly and expected to be kid and cat friendly as well *Potty Trained Apply TODAY-https://peaceloveandpawsrescue.com/adopt%2Ffoster-application

Story
Why hello there! My name is Link - thank you for clicking on my picture to get to know me better. I am a handsome young fella who is looking for a loving home to call my fur-ever home. I didn't exactly have the best start in life - you see, a kind Animal Control Officer helped me find the amazing folks at NBS Animal Rescue when I was found as a stray with severely matted fur. It was so bad that my fur covered my eyes, made it difficult for me to eat, walk, and go to the bathroom. My foster dad didn't think twice when he saw me - he just scooped me up into his arms and helped me get a much needed bath and a groom to help me feel better from my itchy tightly matted fur. Aren't I handsome with my new haircut??? My foster mom says I am about a year old, weigh about 10 lbs, and am likely a mix of Poodle, Maltese, Shih Tzu, and terrier. My fur is a growing in to be nice and soft and I likely will not shed. I'm a young fella still so I'm still learning doggy manners. Sometimes I get really excited when we are playing and forget my manners and can get a little mouthy while playing. I like to play with other friendly dogs and often get the zoomies with my foster sister and run around our fenced yard and romp and play while supervised. My foster dad says I'm a good listener when he reminds me to mind my manners and take a break from playing. I LOVE TO SNUGGLE! Are you looking for a dog to sit next to you on the couch while you read a book or watch your favorite TV show? I'm your guy! Looking for a dog to snuggle you at night - pick me! I love to snuggle up to my foster mom's neck at night and even snuggle under the covers too! Because I didn't learn all of the important things when I was a puppy, I'm still learning how to do my business outside, sit, walk nicely on a leash, and lay down. My foster dad says I'm a quick learner! I am doing well with potty training while my foster mom and dad are home and letting me out on a regular schedule, but, I don't love my crate and can only hold it for about 3-4 hours if I'm alone in my crate. I'm an inquisitive fella so it's best if I am crated when you are not home to make sure I stay safe and not get into things I shouldn't while I'm still learning. My foster dad says that I am a fantastic companion - I love being with my people and another friendly dog. He can be silly and playful, but is equally happy and content to be held and snuggle his people. He would do best in home with a fenced yard and with someone who can be home enough to get him outside on a regular schedule every 4 hours to maintain his potty training learning and who has patience to help him learn how to sit, walk nicely on a leash, etc. Link is good at alerting you to strangers at the door, or strange loud sounds outside and will bark when he is first in his crate so an apartment or condo would not be ideal for Link right now. Link is a fantastic little dog who has lots of love to give to a family who is patient and gentle. Link's adoption fee is $350 and includes all of his vetting including microchip and neuter surgery. If you are interested or know someone who might be a great addition to your family, please share and visit www.nbsar.org to fill out an adoption application.
