Story
Meet Italy!Italy is a 4 year old, Neutered Male, Shih Tzu!Little Italy looks like an Ewok but has the heart and spirit of a Wookie! He's small but has a big dogs spirit. He's a very playful guy and walks great on a leash. Due to a lack of socialization in the past, Italy has some baggage and is going to need a very specific home ready to work with him and develop a stable routine. Italy loves people but takes time to earn trust with new people when it comes to handling. Once you are in his inner circle he's quite tolerant.Italy has significant resource guarding behaviors with his food and treats. He will need a home diligent when feeding and giving treats that he will be respectfully left alone and possibly fed in a crate for meal times. Due to his guarding behaviors he will do best in a home without other dogs, but should do ok with cats (although he may be playful?). To make sure everyone in the home remains safe, Italy will do best without children. With time and patience, we feel that Italy can develop into a loved and cherished family pet, he just needs a chance to form a bond with his people and gain some confidence in himself.Visit our website to fill out the adoption application: https://bit.ly/HSofMacombadoptionapplicationIf your application was approved and you received a call back from the Humane Society of Macomb for a meet and greet, plan to take the animal home that day. We cannot place puppies/dogs on hold to come pick up for another day.All Humane Society of Macomb animals are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, tested and microchipped.Thank you for showing an interest in our pets.

Story
Meet Hannah! Hannah is a gentle little soul looking for the patient, understanding family she has always deserved. This adorable 14lb Shih Tzu and Miniature Poodle mix was born on 09/10/2020 and came from a breeder who was finally shut down after years of breeding. Before rescue, Hannah lived in a home with numerous other dogs and had very little exposure to the outside world or life as a cherished family companion. Because of her past, Hannah can be a little shy and reserved when first adjusting to new people and environments. However, her social skills have come a long way in foster care, and once she feels comfortable, her sweet and happy personality really begins to shine. She has a quiet, gentle demeanor and enjoys simply being near her people in a calm and peaceful environment. Hannah is seeking a quieter home with adults only or older, dog-savvy children who can respect her sensitive nature and allow her time to settle in at her own pace. She has become much more confident with consistency, patience, and routine, and her foster family has loved watching her continue to blossom. Having never learned how to walk comfortably on a leash, Hannah will REQUIRE a secure physical fenced yard for her safety - no exceptions. She is not a candidate for tethering or invisible fencing, and extra caution should always be taken when outside while she continues building confidence and learning new experiences. Hannah does well with other dogs and seems to enjoy canine companionship. She also does not mind cats. She has demonstrated a good understanding of house manners and is learning more every day about what it means to simply be a loved family dog. As a Shih Tzu and Miniature Poodle mix, Hannah will require regular grooming to keep her coat healthy and comfortable. Most of all, Hannah is searching for a family willing to give her the patience, kindness, and unconditional love she has missed out on for far too long. In return, you'll gain a quiet, loyal companion who simply wants a safe place to call home furever. Hannah is: • Current on Bordetella, Distemper, and Rabies• Dewormed• Heartworm Tested: Negative• Receiving Heartworm and Flea Prevention• Microchipped• Scheduled for spay surgery at our partner veterinary hospital (included in the adoption fee). ADOPTION FEE: $375 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 FOSTER ANIMALS ARE LIVING IN FOSTER HOMES AND TREATED LIKE FAMILY UNTIL THEY FIND THEIR OWN FUREVER FAMILIES. 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. ##2757408##

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
Currently this sweet baby is with our rescue, The Artemis Project, in Arkansas. We DO, however, transport monthly to the metro Detroit area of MI. Because we’re able to transport, we ARE able to accept adoption applications directly from residents of MI. Why do we transport? Because animal overpopulation is severe in our region, and stray and unwanted dogs have very little chance of finding a home here. These babies are, however, at a high risk of being neglected, abused, abandoned, euthanized or even shot (it’s “the way things are done” for some people down here). YOU are truly one of the only safe and happy endings for the lucky ones we are able to rescue. Upon approval of your adoption application, we will then transport your new furbaby to you in the metro Detroit area for just a small travel expense fee of $50 in addition to the adoption fee. MICHIGAN RESIDENTS—>PLEASE CLICK THE LINK BELOW TO FILL OUT THE ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://new.shelterluv.com/form/other/TAP/2450-michigan-adoption Before we can change your new furbaby’s status from "adoptable" to "adoption pending," the $50 transport fee must be paid to secure the adoption. At that time, we will stop accepting applications. The entire adoption fee must be paid prior to the transport in order to ensure your new baby has a spot on the transport. Thank you SO MUCH for giving a homeless Arkansas pup a chance at a real life with a family of their very own!

***Adoption Pending*** ***Nash 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.*** Someone looks so proud after getting all groomed! Nash is estimated to be about 3 years old and weighs 19 pounds. Meet Nash, this sweet and kind boy is a true gentleman, and he's on the lookout for his forever family. He's more of a laid-back lounge lover who's happy to kick back and relax, especially in this warmer weather, he prefers the air conditioning thank you very much! Nash would love someone who is home a lot, as one of his favorite things to do is follow you around, offering cute company wherever you go. As you can see from one of his pictures, he was very matted when he came to the rescue the poor muffin, but boy, did he feel better after getting groomed. He was wonderful on the car ride and the groomer said he did great, though he didn't love his paws getting done, but was still a very good boy. His foster family says he likes their older chihuahua and likes to lay close, so if you have another furry friend in the home, Nash would love to meet them. He is doing well with his potty training but will of course have to learn your routine. Nash would love it if you wanted to meet him. He will need a home where any children are at least 13 years old with his more chill nature. If you are interested in Nash and are at least 21 years old, 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.*
