Story
Sadaris “Tink”, my really chill, lovable, and friendly doggy was saved by me from previous unfortunate situations. Favorite activities included running in the yard, playing with squeaky toys, and playing fetch with stuffed animals. Tink loves belly rubs and just getting all the attention he can. He will even sit and enjoy movies with you, loves taking naps, and eager to go on adventures (car rides are his favorite)! Previously my lovable guy has lost his vision. I have taken him to be seen but unfortunately I am unable to afford healthcare help he needs. He has learned to get around the house himself but requires a little guidance sometimes until he gets used to a new place. Tink will go up& down stairs (please guide him verbally) so that isn’t an obstacle for him. Though, he is sometimes scared jumping off furniture. I love him, & want a safe and lovable home for him. FEE LISTED CAN BE NEGOTIATED! Wasn’t trained before, I’ve been working with him on toileting. Set schedules help!

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 on Petfinder 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 peak 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=26, CAT: https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=dr1937&method=online_form_html&formid=41, EXOTICS: https://us14b.sheltermanager.com/onlineform_view?formid=46) completely.

It could take up to a couple of weeks for you to receive a final disposition on your application so there is no need to check on the status.-Introductions will be scheduled by appointment only, 30 minutes per appointment. The entire household, including current dogs, must be present for the appointment. (Note: Please do not bring your dogs if you are meeting cats!). The introductions will take place outside in our parking lot (or in our cat room if you're meeting cats).-We will continue to perform vet checks for current and prior pets in the household.-Finalizing the adoption will also be scheduled by appointment.Thank you for your understanding.

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 SCAMP:  Hello there! My name is Scamp, and I am a 9-year-old Shih Tzu Yorkshire Terrier mix. I might be a small guy, weighing just 10 pounds, but I've got a big personality!   I ended up at the animal control shelter when my previous family couldn't give me the time and attention I deserved. Luckily, Furever Tails Animal Rescue came to my rescue and took me in. Sadly, it's been a bit of a journey for me to find my real forever family. I've hopped from one home to another, in search of someone who will truly love me.   I'm a social pup and get along well with other dogs and even cats. Older kids are no problem for me either. I have excellent manners and I'm already housebroken and crate trained. I absolutely love car rides and will be your favorite co-pilot!   When it comes to toys, I love playing with tennis balls, stuffed toys, and even those crunchy bottles. Despite my age, I don't act like it one bit! You'll often find me bouncing around with energy and ready for some fun. I also know fun tricks like rolling over and dancing for you! I'm very food motivated and will work for treats.    Grooming is important for my breed, so I'll need to be groomed every 6 weeks to keep my coat free from matting. But don't worry, I'll gladly tolerate it for some extra pampering. Plus, it gives us more time to bond!   One thing's for sure, I have quite the personality. I'll keep you entertained with my antics and make sure you never have a dull moment! Going on walks is one of my favorite things, and I can't wait to explore the world with you.   All I'm looking for is my perfect match, someone who will love me unconditionally. If you're ready for a loyal and loving companion, then I'm your guy. So what do you say? Will you give me the forever home I've been longing for?

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 ZEPH:   Hi there, my name is Zeph and I'm a Shih tzu mix. I weigh 13 pounds and I'm 1 1/2 years old. I was found as a stray and unfortunately, no one claimed me. I have no idea how long I was on my own, but when I was found, I was covered in matted fur from head to tail. It breaks my heart to think about what I might have endured in my previous life. I ended up in an overcrowded shelter, and I wasn't doing well there. Thankfully, the kind staff there reached out to Furever Tails Animal Rescue and they took me in. Since being in my foster home, I have discovered that I really enjoy the company of other dogs. However, I would prefer to live in a home without any feline friends. I am an extremely cuddly dog and I love giving kisses. Going on walks is one of my favorite things to do, and I hope my forever family will take me on many adventures. I also love taking naps with my humans and I'll happily snuggle up next to you on the couch. At home, I really enjoy looking out the window and people-watching. It's so much fun observing the world from the comfort of my own home. I also enjoy playing with toys and I know basic commands. I'm a smart pup and I'm eager to learn more. I absolutely adore car rides, so if you enjoy taking road trips, I'm the perfect companion for you. I'm hoping to find a forever family who will love and cherish me for the rest of my life. I promise to bring so much love and joy into your home. If you think I might be the perfect addition to your family, please reach out to Furever Tails Animal Rescue. I can't wait to meet my forever family and start our life together.  ZEPH is: Current on age appropriate vaccinations.DewormedReceiving Heartworm and Flea PreventionMicrochippedSpayed/Neutered/Scheduled for sterilization surgery at one of our partner veterinary offices.
