Story
Winston is a pit that I found in Columbia, South Carolina! He was running around on the road and I was able to grab his attention and get him picked up and sent to the shelter. He got checked for a microchipped and he did not have one. I was then told that they did not have space and he was either going to have to get adopted by me or get euthanized that same day. I ended up adopting him and have loved having him since. Unfortunately he is a fully deaf dog and it is hard to give him the full attention he needs since I am in college. He is fully crate and potty trained which has led me to believe that he was unfortunately dumped sometime. He is between 1-2 years old and about 50 lbs. We have been feeding him up as his ribs were showing when I found him. He a super cuddly and playful dog just needs love from the right family who can take him on a walk couple times of week and cuddle him! He gets along with some cats, cooped up chickens, all dogs, and kids!

Story
Meet Sara — Courtesy PostSara is a 74 lb mixed-breed dog who is ready for a fresh start in the right environment. She is spayed, fully vaccinated, and heartworm negative. Sara knows basic commands, is house trained and will go in a crate. Sara has been non reactive to cats. Sara has gone home with volunteers, attended off-site events, participated in meet-and-greets, and spent time with various new faces — all without incident. She has shown she can be a loving, affectionate and engaging companion.Sara does have instances of resource guarding behaviors, and this is something her future adopter must be prepared to manage and continue working on. A professional trainer has worked with and evaluated Sara and determined that while this behavior is trainable and manageable, it is not something that can be adequately addressed in a shelter setting but should not hinder her being adopted.Sara is currently thriving in a foster home, where she has undergone through training and continues to work on her behavior with structure, consistency, and guidance. She is making progress, but she will need an adopter who understands resource guarding and is committed to ongoing management and training. She walks well on a leash, however a fenced yard would be ideal. What Sara Needs to Succeed• Adult-only home• Calm, structured environment• No other pets at this time so her training can remain the focus (although she is NOT dog reactive, she just needs to focus on her own needs at this time)• Commitment to continued behavioral work and clear boundariesSara is a staff and volunteer favorite. She is affectionate, intelligent, and capable — she simply needs the right match and continued support.Sara has so much potential and deserves a home that will give her the chance she needs to truly shine! If you are interested in adopting Sara, please complete an adoption application, and we will reach out to you right away to schedule an appointment. ** Note, Sara is in a foster home, she is not currently housed at MCAC ** Sara`s adoption fee is SPONSORED!

Story
At just 1.5 years old, Noel has already shown more resilience than most dogs ever should. When she arrived at Macomb County Animal Control, she was in very rough shape, both physically and emotionally. Her body carried the bumps and bruises of a difficult past, and her spirit was just as wounded. But this brave girl has been healing beautifully. Her physical scars are fading, and each day her personality shines a little brighter.Noel can be a bit shy at first, but with patience and kindness, she opens up quickly. Once she feels safe, she becomes a sweet, affectionate girl who simply wants to be loved on — and she’ll never turn down a treat. She is gentle, sensitive, and deeply appreciative of calm, reassuring humans.Noel is looking for a peaceful home where she can continue to grow in confidence. She would thrive in a quiet environment without young children or cats, and while she does well with other dogs, she prefers those who are laid back and not too rambunctious. She needs a family who can dedicate time, attention, and love to help her continue her healing journey.More than anything, Noel hopes to find a warm, happy home for Christmas — a place where she can finally feel safe, cherished, and part of a family. If you’re looking for a loving companion with a tender heart and a courageous spirit, Noel may be the perfect girl for you.If you are interested in adopting me or another homeless pet at Macomb County Animal Control, walk-in adoption hours are Monday-Friday from 10am-4pm.My adoption fee is $50

Story
Meet Barley, a roughly 5-year-old pitbull mix with a soul as soft as his name suggests. Though he’s mostly blind and currently heartworm-positive, this boy radiates warmth, joy, and an impressive amount of gusto. He may need a little extra guidance in life, but he gives back tenfold in love, trust, and tail wags.Barley is bravely working through his heartworm treatment, which includes a 60-day medication schedule and two injections to help him fully recover. During this time, he will be placed in a foster-to-adopt home so his new family can support him throughout his treatment and begin building a bond with him. Once his medical regimen is complete, he’ll be ready for his neuter surgery—and after that, he’ll officially be yours forever.Because of his visual impairment, Barley thrives in calm, predictable environments. He has done well with other dogs, but he’ll need companions who are respectful of his space and not overly energetic or intrusive. His experience with cats is unknown, so any introductions should be slow, thoughtful, and supervised to keep everyone safe and comfortable.Barley’s ideal home is one filled with patience, structure, and intentional care—people who can help him navigate safely as he learns his surroundings and who are committed to staying diligent with his medications. In return, he’ll offer unwavering loyalty, gentle affection, and the goofy joy that only a pittie mix can bring.Barley is the kind of dog who melts into your side the moment he knows he can trust you. He’s endlessly grateful for kindness, eager to please, and ready for a fresh start with people who will love him through both his challenges and his triumphs.His adoption fee is fully sponsored—we simply hope to find a loving family willing to give this sweet boy the chance at life he truly deserves.If you have the heart and patience to guide Barley through his healing and welcome him into a home of comfort and belonging, he’s ready to meet you. This brave, beautiful boy is searching for his forever family—could it be yours?If you are interested in adopting me or another homeless pet at Macomb County Animal Control, walk-in adoption hours are Monday-Friday from 10am-4pm.My adoption fee is SPONSORED

Story
Leo is a great dog with a lot of energy. He would be best suited for someone with a big backyard and a lot of time and patience. He is house broken but has some accidents. He is also crate trained and working on leash training. He’s pretty good with kids but he doesn’t understand how small they are so he can be a bit rough when playing. He will steal your food off your plate if you’re not careful! He is a very loving dog and deserves a large yard to run in and someone with lots of time to give him!
