Story

Hi, I'm Benny! I'm a good boy who is looking for an experienced and active owner who will give me proper training, socialization, and exercise. It took me quite a while to settle in after arriving at FMAR as a stray. I was very scared and didn't trust people. The FMAR staff and volunteers understand that I need slow introductions to new people and they are helping me with my confidence. Once I get to know you, I love belly rubs and cuddles! Since I have a lot of energy, I'm looking for a home without cats or children under 12 years of age. I might like a dog brother or sister as long as we have a slow and proper introduction.If you would like to meet me, please submit an application for me on our website https://www.friendsofmichigan.org/adoptable-dogs. I am neutered, up to date on all age appropriate vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, and on monthly flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. My adoption fee is $250, which helps cover the cost of the medical care I have received.**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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. This is Diego, our very handsome Lab/Chow/Akita mix and one of our happiest and most friendly dogs at the Mikey & Me Kennels in Chelsea. Diego is ~2 years old, he weighs ~60 pounds and he has a beautiful, golden coat and fluffy tail. He has a very nice temperament, walks well on leash, and he enjoys meeting and interacting with new people. Diego practically “melts” when he gets belly rubs and he’s a very loving dog. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Diego has been neutered, he’s up to date on his vaccinations, he tested negative for heart worm disease and he’s on monthly prevention for HW and fleas and ticks. Diego will need a 6 foot high fenced in yard or he would do well in a country setting with room to run.   Diego will do best as an only dog because he likes being the center of attention. He can sometimes be possessive of a new toy or a high-value treat so having some knowledge in this area would be helpful. If you think Diego would be a good fit for your family fill out an application at happydaysdogandcatrescue.org Please consider sharing Diego’s post with your friends and family to help us get him into a permanent home. This dog is a good find, and he’s going to make a family very happy .   Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue microchips all dogs and cats before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the shoulder blades and are another form of identification should the animal get lost. The microchips are registered to    Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue. The adopter's information is added once the adoption is complete. The adopter is responsible for a $19.99/Year registration fee or a $45.00/Lifetime registration fee to change information.    Dogs and Cats still need to have collar with tags should they get lost.                      Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 27, 2024, 9:22 am

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Jupiter is a beautiful, sweet, loving and playful companion. Sadly, her former owner became very ill and is unable to care for her. She is very affectionate, loves attention with lots of cuddles, scratches behind the ears, belly rubs, and enjoys being brushed. She’s well versed with many common commands, such as come, sit, down, stay, leave it, backup, shake, rolls over, which is quite a feat for a large canine lol. Even at five years old, Jupiter has proven over and over to be a fast learner and has adapted quickly to her new surroundings. We’ve been working with her to improve upon her existing recall to come when there’s nearby distractions and walking on a lead without tugging and pulling. She’s making tremendous strides. We’re also in the process of working on her reactivity aggression towards other dogs. Jupiter needs to be in a household with no other dogs or cats.

Story

Is this dog good with kids? It's crucial that children are taught to respect dogs and understand a dog's body language. Is this dog house trained? Expect to house train a newly adopted dog. Some dogs will pick it up faster than others. Successful house training largely depends on patience and consistent encouragement. Most of the dogs that end up in shelters are mixed breeds that can have 2 to 10 different breeds in their DNA. The breed listed is only the best guess of the shelter volunteers. If interested in meeting any of our cats or dogs, stop in to meet them during our open hours. For location and hours, see our website at https://wacshelter.com To apply to adopt online go to https://wacshelter.com/adopt-a-dog/ ALL ANIMALS LISTED AS ADOPTABLE ARE AVAILABLE TO BE ADOPTED. *ADOPTION FEE: $95 (cash only) includes spay/neuter, distemper vaccine, heartworm test, and rabies vaccine.

Quinn is estimated to be about 4 years old and just over 60 pounds. And boy is she entertaining! She loves adventures and thinks everything is her business! Be sure to check out our Facebook page at Wyandotte Animal Shelter (https://www.facebook.com/wacshelter/) for day to day updates on our cats and dogs. :) Thank you for your interest in adopting!

Click on the Apply To Adopt button to submit an online adoption application. NOTE: You will get an email confirmation that we have received your application. If you do not see this email appear upon submission, please check your "spam" folder. 3. Your application will be processed and a volunteer will call or email with any questions. NOTE: If any questions are left unanswered or incomplete, the application cannot be processed. A completely filled out application will take 1-3 days to process! 4. We will set up a time with you to meet the animal you've applied to adopt! ** We DO give preference to applicants with verifiable dog experience as a primary caretaker. All dogs are spayed/neutered, heartworm negative unless otherwise indicated. All are up to date on age appropriate vaccinations and current on heartworm prevention! Additional questions... Does this dog get along with cats? There is almost always an acclimation period when a new pet joins the household. We are happy to suggest a few ways to ease the transition. If one of our dogs is reported to have lived with cats previously, that will be indicated in the dog's description! Does this dog react well to other dogs? No dog loves every other dog, just as humans do not like every other human they meet. A proper introduction (meet and greet) would be required as part of our application process. Is this dog good with children? The better question is how the children have been taught to handle animals. A dog will respond negatively if he/she is not being handled properly. We can offer suggestions on how to teach children to interact with dogs and pay attention to body language. Young children should never be left unsupervised with new dogs. How did this dog end up in a shelter? The top reasons dogs are given up are: Moving without considering the needs of the pets Death of the owner with no plan in place for the pets Previous owner did not provide appropriate training Owner did not consider the lifespan of a dog Owner did not consider the cost of providing for a dog
