Story
Foster Update: "Our family took Midnights into our home as a foster yesterday evening and just wanted to share an update! Midnights is the sweetest and kindest dog anyone can ask for. She is gentle around my two toddlers and loves being around my Frenchie. Everyone gets along great! Potty training is a work in progress but we are working on bringing her outside often to teach her that that is where she needs to go. She is hunger driven but we’ve been giving her more snacks and kibble so that she feels satisfied 😊 she is not aggressive with treats around my Frenchie from what I’ve observed. I am hoping someone gives her a forever home just in time for Christmas. ❤️" 🩶 The Taylor Swift Era Pack: 12 Micropittie & Bulldog Mixes Looking for Their Forever Homes 🩶 Transferred from Chicago Animal Care and Control, these 12 small-but-mighty dogs survived a hoarding situation and are now stepping into their sparkle era. Each one is about 2–3 years old, full of sweetness, and ready to trade fear for friendship, and confinement for cuddles. Like Taylor Swift’s albums, every dog here tells a story of resilience, reinvention, and love. 🐾 A Note About Hoarding Case Dogs 🐾 These pups often come from environments where human kindness was rare and routine didn’t exist. That means the world can feel new and a little big at first — but with gentle guidance, they open up in the most beautiful ways. Expect slow blinks that turn into tail wags, tentative touches that become full-body wiggles, and hearts that will love you endlessly once they trust you. 🎶 Meet the Pack 🎶 1. Taylor Swift (female) 🌸 The namesake — classic, charming, and ready to begin again. Sweet, sincere, and endlessly loving, Taylor has that wholesome “girl next door” energy. She’s curious about the world and eager to please. Personality: Playful, affectionate, and the perfect first chapter to your love story. 2. Fearless (female) 💛 Courage in a compact package. Fearless has the heart of a dreamer — she’s learning to trust fast and greet each new day with hope. Personality: Energetic, friendly, loves gentle praise and playtime. 3. Speak Now (female) 💜 Soft-spoken at first, but full of surprises once she finds her voice. Speak Now warms up slowly, but when she loves you, she really loves you. Personality: Sweet, loyal, expressive — a listener who’s also ready to sing her own story. 4. Red (male) ❤️ Passionate, goofy, and full of heart. Red wears his emotions on his sleeve — one minute zoomies, the next minute full-body hugs. Personality: Enthusiastic, snuggly, and loves people with his whole heart. 5. 1989 (female) 💎 The ultimate pop star energy. 1989 is confident, outgoing, and totally ready for her city walks and coffee shop cameos. Personality: Social, sassy, and sweet — she’s living her best main-character life. 6. Reputation (male) 🖤 Tough on the outside, soft on the inside. Reputation might seem cool and mysterious, but behind that confident face is the biggest cuddlebug you’ll ever meet. Personality: Loyal, goofy, brave — the definition of a comeback story. 7. Lover (female) 💗 The hopeless romantic. Lover is all heart — gentle, affectionate, and happiest when pressed against your side. Personality: Snuggly, soft, and ready to fill your home with love songs. 8. Folklore (female) 🌲 The quiet thinker with a poetic soul. Folklore is introspective and gentle. She prefers cozy evenings and soft voices. Personality: Calm, tender, and deeply loyal once she knows you’re her safe place. 9. Evermore (male) 🍂 An old soul with steady eyes and a big heart. Evermore is peaceful and grounding — the kind of dog who reminds you to breathe. Personality: Wise, affectionate, easygoing — perfect for a quiet, loving home. 10. Midnights (female) 💙 The mysterious dreamer. Midnights loves a cozy night in just as much as a moonlit walk. She’s equal parts playful and serene. Personality: Thoughtful, affectionate, and a little magical. 11. Tortured Poets Department (male) 🖋️ A soft-hearted soul with an artistic streak. This sensitive boy has been through a lot, but he’s ready to turn his pain into poetry — and his poetry into love. Personality: Sweet, soulful, thrives on patience and gentle affection. 12. The Life of a Showgirl (female) 💅 The diva with a heart of gold. A little glam, a little goofy, and totally irresistible — Showgirl knows she’s special, and she’ll make sure you do too. Personality: Confident, funny, affectionate — the life of every room she enters. Which era are you in?

Story
Meet Yogi! Yogi is an 8-year-old Boxer with a heart full of love and eyes that tell a story. This senior sweetheart came to us from Berrien County Animal Control, and it’s clear he’s been through a lot—but he hasn’t let that dim his gentle spirit. Yogi is ready to leave his past behind and spend his golden years soaking up the comfort and care he truly deserves. He’s the kind of companion who would be happiest by your side—whether that’s taking a leisurely stroll, lounging on the couch, or simply sharing a quiet moment together. He’s not asking for much—just a warm home, a soft bed, and someone to love him unconditionally. Could you be Yogi’s hero and give him the peaceful, loving retirement he’s been waiting for? From his foster: "Yogi learned to be comfortable in his cage after about a few nights and is safe to stay there for hours at a time. However, we trust him to stay outside his cage, with our two cats who also roam, while we're out/asleep and has never made any problems. He never barks and only whines when he wants to go outside. Yogi loves going on long walks (once we went for 2 hours and he still had gas in the tank). It’s much more energy than we thought he would, but that’s probably because we don’t have a yard for him to make his own fun. We’ve also discovered his love of tennis balls and squeaky toys. He loves competing in races for his tennis balls and squeaky toys. He’s not very interested in my cats at all, which is perfect. After about a week or two, they’ve become completely comfortable around him though they’ll get out of his way if they see him coming. It’s made things way less stressful knowing I can trust him with my cats. He seems to have zero prey drive, since he also isn’t interested in rabbits or squirrels that scurry across the sidewalk in front of us. He’s never had an accident in my apartment, though he has thrown up in a car before so now we bring a barf bowl which is pretty effective. We’ve started feeding him a mix of wet food to supplement his diet and help him put on some weight. He seems very fit now. His skin has also improved dramatically. There are no visible bumps or scars on his back, unlike how it looked when he first came home with us. We’ve been teaching him some tricks too. He knows “Stay” and “Come” pretty well, though won’t always listen if there are a lot of distractions. I’ve been teaching him “Leave it” and “Sit” as well. We thought he might be a little deaf at first because he’d ignore his name, but he definitely responds to it now. He’s very friendly with dogs that he meets. He likes to say hi, but he never obsesses over them which helps make him a lot less intimidating and a good companion dog. Similar to people, he likes to say hi and then move on with his walk. He's very sweet and not at all dominating. He’s very calm when meeting people and animals. Yogi is also very tolerant of showers. While he whines a bit, he does not struggle when properly tethered and is not dramatic compared to other dogs. He is further very tolerant of us cleaning his paws 3x a day when we come back from his walks so that he doesn't bring in dirt. Overall, he’s a really sweet dog and I love him. He’s the cutest thing. He loves cuddling with us on the couch but also isn’t too clingy and will stay out of my room."
