Story
Meet Goose – Your Loyal Couch Cow Goose is a big-hearted boy with an equally big body—sometimes a little like a bull in a china shop—but don’t be fooled. With regular exercise, this gentle giant settles into a calm, mild-mannered presence at home. He’s fully crate and potty trained, and he already knows several cues including sit, down, and housie. Goose isn’t the kind of dog who craves constant toys or treats. Instead, what makes him shine is the soulful, earnest look in his eyes—one that seems to say he’s just waiting to find his person, the one he can give all his quiet loyalty to. Goose is curious but gentle with feline friends and amicable with canine companions when given proper introductions. He would do best in a home with older kids or teens (16+) who can help maintain his cool-cucumber, chill vibe. Because Goose has some skin sensitivities that flare when he’s stressed, and even engages in a little stress-related skin picking, he will thrive in a low-key, predictable environment where he can truly relax and feel secure. His skin issues have improved significantly in his current foster home, and sweaters for colder months will be warmly appreciated. He’s not a “take everywhere” dog—dog parks, shopping trips, and adventures aren’t really his thing. Goose is happiest as a faithful homebody: a loyal couch cow, a gentle protector (he knows leave it and won’t bark at guests when cued), and a steady friend. Goose comes with a full Embark DNA breed and health profile (available on request). He has moved from shelter to foster to foster to foster for over a year now, and he so deserves to unpack his bags for good and finally know what it feels like to be home. Could your couch and heart be the ones Goose has been patiently waiting for? __________________________________________________________ Goose was on the euthanasia list at Michigan shelter and we were able to pull him after finding a foster at the last minute. This guy is good with everything - dogs, kids, cats (he's afraid of them) and of course humans. He is very high energy and large. His fosters are working with him but he does like to jump up on people so may knock young children down. He will need someone who will be able to exercise him or that has a high energy dog who plays rough like he does. Location: Goose is currently in a foster home. Medical: All dogs are spayed/neutered, current on age appropriate vaccines (rabies, distemper, Leptospirosis, and Bordetella), microchipped, negative heartworm tested, given flea/tick/heartworm prevention and dewormer, and any other veterinary care that is needed prior to adoption. Fill out an application at www.figandfriendspetrescue.org/adopt if you are interested in adopting him.

Story
Shenanigan has had a rough start to life, but you wouldn't know it when you meet him. He is thriving in foster currently, but still looking for his final forever. He would do best with another dog that wants to play (he would love another pitty type). He likes to snuggle and really lives up to the title of velcro pitty. He has a little separation anxiety but is otherwise a happy boy, crate and potty trained. He is super smart and learning commands well. He's past the "puppy stage" but is young and vibrant and eager to please. There are also cats in his foster home, which sometimes get annoyed at his playful attempts to be buddies, but he thinks they're neat. He might need to be supervised around new cats and dogs for a while while he learns their cues, but he really just likes to have friends. He is up to date on vet care for his age and can now start taking applications for his perfect family. Reach out to learn more and meet this special guy!

Story
Tyson is a wonderful, 7-year-old Boxer-Pit Mix we welcomed at 9 months, and he has been a wonderful, obedient pet. He is an incredibly affectionate boy whose favorite things are snuggles and being with his people, though he can be overexcited when greeting. He requires little activity, crates very well (often hanging out in his open crate!), and is trustworthy alone in the house. We are rehoming him because new family dynamics, including a grandbaby, means he is receiving less attention and needs a calm environment to truly thrive. We are seeking a quiet, loving family who can provide him with the focus he craves. He is neutered with no medical issues, is good with small dogs, and is comfortable with both unfenced and invisible yards. Please note he is somewhat protective of his home and barks at visitors/cars. We are confident he will be a devoted companion in a peaceful setting. We desire to see Tyson with his new family by mid-December for Christmas 2025 .
