Story
*Located in Mid Michigan* 12-6-25 still available We have a female dog named Frankie that we have been given from my daughters co-worker who became homeless last weekend. Rather then allow her to be let loose to the streets we brought her here with the hopes of finding a rescue or shelter to take her to, but have had no amount of luck with placement. Everyone we contact is full. I already own two dogs myself and am not looking to take on a third. She was fixed and is now up to date on shots, and micro-chipped. Good with other dogs after meeting period is over, seems ok with cats. Is pretty timid at first but with the right love and care will be an excellent dog. **willing to negotiate adoption fee for the right home** *willing to travel a bit* EDIT: seems to be food and bone/toy aggressive at times. But this seems like a vocalization quirk, we are working on her not growling. Will need experienced handler to help train. We are doing our best to help mitigate the triggers.

Story
Akira, she is a 2 year old spayed female American Akita (around 95 lb) looking for a new home. She is a beautiful and wonderful dog that gets along well with other dogs; lives with two male boxers currently. She has very good manors, is a very quick learner, and easily trained with treats. Walks very well with both of my other dogs / does not pull at all on leash. Absolutely loves the winter and any activity in the snow. Does well with grooming, allows nails to be ground and enjoys being brushed. She loves car rides and going places like parks or to the pet store. Ideally, she should be with an owner who is also very active and/or has large fenced yard for exercise. Looking for adopter with experience with Akita or other active working breed dogs.

Story
Meet Panda – A Soft Soul With a Brave Heart Panda is only seven months old, but she’s already been through more than most puppies ever should. This stunning Akita mix didn’t get the safest or smoothest start to life—but she’s making up for lost time now, learning what it means to trust, to play, and to be loved. At first, Panda is shy. She watches the world carefully, taking everything in before deciding it’s safe to let her guard down. But once she does, everything changes. She becomes a devoted shadow, a quiet cuddler, and a gentle-hearted companion who wants nothing more than to be close to the person she trusts. She walks gracefully on leash and is already potty trained. She’s intelligent and curious, always eager to explore—whether it’s new places, new toys, or new people. She’s also learning to play nicely with other dogs and is cat-friendly with the right introductions. And while she can clear a 4-foot fence with ease (those long legs and strong heart know no bounds), a secure setup or supervised yard time will keep her safe while she continues to settle into the life she deserves. Panda isn’t looking for perfection—just patience. She needs a foster or adoptive home that will go at her pace, offer calm guidance, and love her as she is while helping her grow into everything she can be. Because under her soft coat and soulful eyes is a dog who’s ready to give her whole heart to someone who sees her worth. She’s still learning how to be brave—but she’s already mastered how to love. Are you the person who can show her what home feels like? 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.
