Story
Meet Tinsley - Tinsley is the happiest little girl you could meet. She was born to a mom dog that came out of a hording situation of over 100 dogs. We knew Tinsley would be special needs as her littermate was born with fluid on the brain and a cleft pallet and sadly did not survive. Tinsley has some deficits with learning. She absolutely cannot grasp house training. She will pee on a wee-wee pad 95% of the time but will poop where she stands. We have tried all the tricks with potty training her and she just cannot grasp it. If we could best explain Tinsley, she is like a dog that was born with downsyndrome. She can learn some things but other things are very difficult for her. She is the happiest dog that you could meet though. She has never met a stranger. Everyone she loves and has never shown an ounce of aggression.Tinsley also has a sensitive stomach and is on a sensitive skin and stomach food. She also has bilateral luxating patellas that may require surgical intervention down the road as well. Tinsley will not go up or down certain stairs. She cannot jump on furniture either. She loves companionship and would love nothing more then a lap so sit on and cuddle with all day long.Tinsley is good with kids, cats, and other dogs. She is just a love and would fit into most any homes.To apply to adopt Tinsley, please visit our website at www.rejoycefulrescue.com/adopt.

Story
Meet Jersey – A Little Snowball with a BIG Heart! Stop right there… because this little fluffball is guaranteed to melt your heart! Meet Jersey, an absolutely adorable all-white Shih Tzu/Poodle mix weighing in at just 8 pounds! This tiny little guy arrived at the shelter with a badly matted coat, but he`s had a much-needed spa day and is looking fresh, fabulous, and ready to find his forever family!Jersey may be tiny, but he`s full of potential! He`s currently working on his manners and learning the important command `sit.` He`s also a fan of other dogs and enjoys having furry friends to romp around with.Because Jersey is such a little peanut, we recommend a home with older, respectful children who understand that tiny pups need gentle handling. A securely fenced-in yard would also be a wonderful bonus where he can safely explore, play, and enjoy the great outdoors.Now that Jersey has his fresh new look, there`s just one thing missing… a family to call his own! He`s ready for cozy blankets, tasty treats, fun playtime, and most importantly, a lifetime of love.If you`ve been dreaming of a pint-sized companion with an adorable face and plenty of charm, Jersey might just be your perfect match!Eight pounds of fluff, a whole lot of love, and a lifetime of happiness waiting to happen!If you are interested in adopting me or another homeless pet at Macomb County Animal Control, walk-in adoption hours are Monday-Friday from 10am-4pm.My adoption fee is $300.

Story
Meet Moo Shu! Moo Shu is a 2-year-old, 16-pound Shih Tzu with a happy heart and a social personality! Found as a stray in Detroit and never reclaimed, this handsome fella is ready to find a family who will include him in a lifetime of adventures. Moo Shu loves meeting new faces and is always ready for some fun. He’s a very active boy seeking an equally active family and would likely do well with dog-savvy children. He enjoys romping around with other playful dogs who can match his energy. His interactions with cats have been limited, but he hasn’t shown any negative interest in them. This cheerful companion has demonstrated a good understanding of house manners. He can be vocal at times, so an apartment or tightly knit living situation would not be a good fit. He is also not suited for a tether or invisible fence. When Moo-Shu gets excited, he sometimes has plenty to say! Because of his tendency to be vocal, apartment living or a community with homes very close together would not be a good match. Moo Shu will need regular grooming to keep him looking and feeling his best, along with a family committed to giving him plenty of playtime, companionship, and love. If you’re looking for a friendly little adventure buddy with a big personality, Moo Shu may be your perfect match. He’s ready for a furever home where the good times—and the love—will last a lifetime!

Story
Meet Hannah! Hannah is a 3-year-old, 8-pound Shih Tzu with a happy heart and a whole lot of love to give! Found as a stray, she was badly matted and covered in fleas. Her owner never came for her, but now Hannah has the chance to find a family who will give her the care and affection she deserves. Much of Hannah’s fur had to be shaved away to make her comfortable. With time, proper care, and regular grooming, her coat will grow back more beautiful than ever. Despite her rough start, this little lady remains wonderfully social and happy. She loves spending time with her people and is ready to become someone’s cherished companion. Hannah does well with other dogs and would likely enjoy a home with older, dog-savvy children. Cats, however, are a little too tempting to chase, so she will need a feline-free home. She has demonstrated a good understanding of house manners and is crate trained. Hannah is still learning better leash manners, so a securely enclosed, physical fenced yard would be the best fit for her. A tether or invisible fence is not suitable. This sweet girl is ready for a life filled with companionship, gentle care, and the comfort of belonging. Hannah is looking for a family who will keep her close, keep her cared for, and love her furever.

Story
Meet Coco! Coco is a 6-month-old, 16-pound Shih Tzu and Pug mix who is looking for a patient family to help her confidence blossom. Surrendered when her owner could no longer care for her, this little girl has already undergone surgery to repair a cherry eye and is now seeing the world more clearly and comfortably. Coco can be nervous and guarded when meeting new people. She needs slow introductions and space to approach at her own pace, as she will nip at strangers who rush interactions or push past her comfort level. A quiet, adult-only home with adopters who respect her boundaries is essential. Once Coco feels safe, her playful puppy personality shines! She loves racing around the room with a favorite toy, showing off her silly side, and spending time with her people. She becomes very attached to those she trusts and has plenty of affection to share. Coco also gets along well with dogs of all sizes and could enjoy having a canine companion. Still a puppy, Coco needs consistent, positive training to learn basic commands and build confidence. She has done well with her house manners, and although reluctant, she will go into a crate. Coco is looking for active adults who can offer a calm home while keeping up with her youthful energy and committing to the many years ahead. She will require regular grooming and is not a suitable fit for a tether or invisible fence. With patience, love, and a family willing to let her blossom at her own pace, Coco has all the makings of a wonderful little companion. Could you be the one to give her a lifetime of love?
