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.

Story
Meet Harbor — A Gentle Soul Ready to Drop Anchor in Your HeartHarbor is a handsome senior gentleman, estimated to be 7 years old or older, with the look of a unique Akita mix and the most stunning brown and copper coloring throughout his coat. He’s the kind of dog who turns heads with his beauty, but it’s his gentle spirit that truly leaves a lasting impression.After coming to us as a stray, Harbor has shown just how happy he is to be back with people. He clearly enjoys human company and soaks up kindness with quiet gratitude, proving himself to be an incredibly sweet and easygoing boy. There’s a calm, steady presence about him that makes being around him feel comforting and peaceful.We believe Harbor is nearly, if not completely, deaf — but it hasn’t slowed him down one bit. He navigates the world confidently and responds well to visual cues and gentle guidance. What he may lack in hearing, he more than makes up for in heart.Harbor would thrive in a loving home that understands the needs of a senior dog and is ready to offer him patience, consistency, and affection. In return, he’ll give you loyalty, companionship, and the kind of love that only a seasoned soul can offer.If you’re looking for a sweet, soulful companion who’s ready to settle in and enjoy the quieter side of life, Harbor may be the perfect dog to walk alongside you. Come meet him — he’s ready to find his forever harbor.If you would like to meet Harbor, please submit an application for him on our website https://www.friendsofmichigan.org/adoptable-dogs. He is neutered, up to date on all age appropriate vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, and on monthly flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. His adoption fee is $275, which helps cover the cost of the medical care he has received.**Please note that the breed listed for each of our dogs is a rough estimate unless DNA results are provided in their Bio. All strays have rough estimates of their age based on the condition of their teeth.Each dog is different, so each adoption is different. Our adoption process might require multiple visits to the shelter before our dogs can go home. Or they may be ready on the first visit. It really depends on the individual dog and the potential adopters. Once we receive your application, the Dog Staff will contact you to discuss meeting our dogs.

Story
Meet Boo! Don’t worry — these little Monsters are more about cuddles than scares! Meet the Monsters, Inc. litter, a group of playful, lovable, and totally adorable husky mix puppies named after your favorite characters from the beloved movie. These little loveable “scare” experts are ready to bring joy, laughter, and plenty of puppy kisses into your life. But be warned—once you meet them, your heart will be monstrously full! Just like her Monsters, Inc. namesake, Boo is a curious, loving, and playful little pup who will steal your heart in an instant! Boo's past is a bit of a mystery but we believe she experienced unkind interactions with humans, so she is bit timid at first. She needs someone who is willing to meet her where she is, understands that she needs time and patience, and is invested in continuing to support confidence building and positive associations with humans. She may start off a bit shy, but once she warms up, she’s an affectionate, snuggly lovebug who adores pets, cuddles, and gentle playtime. Boo enjoys a balanced mix of play and rest, spending her days exploring her environment, climbing on things, and soaking up all the love from her humans. Boo enjoys playtime, snuggles, and naps in equal measure. Boo a smart girl who already knows many basic commands like "sit", "down", "stay", and "come." She is working on potty training, wearing a collar, leash training, and crate training. She’s friendly with people and other animals but appreciates a little patience when meeting new friends. With a calm and consistent routine, she’ll thrive in just about any home environment — whether it’s with a quiet, laid-back family or a more active household. This girl has made so much progress already and is ready to take on the world with someone who is dedicated to her training and socialization. Adoption is $325, which includes spay/neuter at our vet when age appropriate, vaccines to date of adoption, dewormer, microchip, and clean bill of health.

Story
Meet Koda - Koda is a one-year-old pup full of energy, smarts, and love. With her vibrant personality and affectionate nature, she’s ready to find a foster — or better yet, a forever home — where she can truly shine. Koda is well-adjusted to home life. She’s crate trained, potty trained, and always ready for her next adventure. Mornings are her favorite — she starts each day with playful energy and would make an excellent jogging or walking partner. She’s also very dog-friendly and would thrive with a playful male dog in the home. Affectionate, eager to learn, and always up for fun, Koda is the perfect match for an active person or family looking for a loyal companion. If you're ready for a sweet, playful sidekick who’s always up for a good time, Koda is waiting to meet you. Adoption is $275, which includes spay/neuter at our vet, vaccines, dewormer, microchip, and clean bill of health. Although we work to potty train all of our dogs, we cannot guarantee full house training before adoption. Regression is a normal part of transitioning to a new home.

Meet Louella: Your Adventure Buddy with a Heart of Gold! Louella, a brave and spirited 2-year-old, has spent the last eight months on a wild adventure, navigating life on the run. Now, she’s ready for her next big journey—finding a loving home where she can finally settle down and learn what it’s like to be part of a family. With her friendly nature, she gets along great with both dogs and cats and is as sweet as they come! After spending so long out in the world, Louella is looking for a home with a 6-foot privacy fence or someone who will keep her on a leash until she’s feeling secure. She’s an explorer at heart but is now ready to trade her solo travels for cozy nights and walks with her humans. She needs a patient, loving family to help her transition into indoor life and ensure she never has to run away again.

Will you be the one to give this sweet explorer a place to call her own? Adoption is $275, which includes spay/neuter at our vet, vaccines, dewormer, microchip, and clean bill of health.
