Story
*NOT GOOD WITH MALE DOGS* Duke is 2.5 years old and still plays like a puppy. He is sweet and cuddly and loves to be on top of you. We have had him for close to two years and have tried tirelessly to help him and his brother we got before him to get along, but have come to realize that they would be better off living separately. Duke had a difficult start to life and came to us skiddish, underweight, and unsure of everyone. He still has behavioral issues. He likes to jump, to play bite, and has a tendency to chew on furniture if left unattended while no one is home. Does great with our female dog. He is the sweetest boy. He sheds but has gone to the groomer many times without issue. He needs a fenced in yard, as he has run away previously. Very prey driven and has brought me a few birds since his time with us. Will go in a crate but will cry for the first bit he is in there. I love him so much, but I have to put his happiness and safety first.

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 completely. Every question must be answered, and it must be signed.-Applicants must be 21+ years old and live within a 100-mile radius of our shelter at 22415 Groesbeck Hwy, Warren 48089.-You must identify at least 1 animal that you are interested in.-Once your application is received, it will be assigned to one of our volunteer Adoption Counselors who will follow-up with the applicant who is the best fit within a few days, or to discuss other options. 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 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.

Story
Meet Akita, a charming medium-sized lady who's ready to steal your heart! This spayed beauty is not just about looks; she brings a sparkling personality that will brighten your day 🎉. At five years young, she has mastered the art of relaxation while still bringing a playful spirit to her daily adventures. Imagine her prancing about, tail wagging with glee, and ready to share all the cuddles and love she can muster! 💖 While Akita may be a little shy at first, give her a moment, and you'll discover that she’s a true cuddle bug 🐕. She thrives in an environment filled with affection, looking for a human friend who appreciates the simple joys of a warm snuggle after a busy day! 🌟 If you’re seeking a loyal companion who promises to stick by your side through thick and thin, look no further than this fabulous furball. Adopters must meet and adopt in person, so once you've fallen head over heels for Akita, make sure to apply through the Buddy App. You won't regret it!
