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.

Story
Tank was rescued when his previous owner was unable to provide a safe life for him. That was a lucky break for Tank. The shelter had him heartworm tested while he was neutered and discovered he is suffering from heartworm disease due to being denied routine prevention. Tank will now require a several month long treatment once it's determined he is healthy enough to undergo the injections. Thankfully, Pound Pals Downriver has stepped up to help this young dog get his health back. He's an energetic and playful 3 year old pup who seems to do well with other dogs. 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! If you think the animal in this profile might be a good fit for your home and would like to meet them, here's how! !. Go to our website at wacshelter.com. 2. 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.

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

Story
We adopted Hermes from Ann Arbor humane society. He was born December 8 2023. He is about 8 months old. He a SUPER sweet guy. Lots of kisses and hugs. Knows his current name and can come when called. He has been through 2 dog training classes at pet smart. He graduated puppy training but failed intermediate due to us not working with him enough, not his fault! Husband lost his job and we had a baby. Between all the stress, we just adopted a dog before a storm hit our family and it's not fair to this sweet boy not to get the love, attention, and exercise he deserves and needs. He jumps on people a lot and tackles my 2 year old for kisses which she doesn't like and it's been hard to rid him of this habit. So he does get along with children but is just a little big and energetic so I would be cautious if you have super little ones like me.

Story
Meet Ryen...he is a 3 year old male Blue nose American Pitbull in need of a new home. His previous owner told us he is very good with children and he is house trained. He is ok with other dogs, but we always recommend a meet and greet. He is crate trained. He will chew up beds, so he sleeps on mats instead. He is very smart. He knows sit, paw, lay, stay, and come. He is afraid of fireworks and loud thunder. He does not have very good cage behavior. He jumps and barks and seems agressive. He will bite at a leash in excitement. He has also been here for over 2 months which is hard on an animal. He gets out at least 2 times a day thanks to our volunteers. However, that leaves about 23 hours in a cage. Please come meet this handsome boy today at the Taylor Animal Shelter!

Skylar is just about the best dog ever! She is calm, sweet and listens well. She lives to please you! She is good with other dogs and gentle enough to be with children. She is crate trained and good on a leash. Skylar came into rescue after being attacked by a much bigger dog in the home. After spending 4 days in doggy hospital, her owner did not want to take her back to an unsafe home. After a short stay in the county shelter, she finally found her way to FOCCAS rescue. It took awhile, but she has healed now. Her attack hasn't caused any lingering effects. She is a happy, grateful dog. She will be a loyal and loving companion for any family or individual.FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
After very much thought and consideration, Gladys (Gladdy) foster family has decided instead of keeping her it would be best for her to find a family of her own. One of the resident dogs in her current foster home has decided even though she loves Gladdy most of the time, there are certain situations that upset her which causes her to go after Gladdy and it's just not fair to her. Although her foster family's hearts are broken, they want to do what's best for her. Gladdy was found laying on the side of the road. She was scooped up by her rescuer after no one in the neighborhood recognized her. We are guessing Gladdy is American Pit Bull Terrier mixed with Basset Hound or possibly Corgi since she has such short stubby legs. She would likely be good with dog savvy cats. She is a total love bug and loves attention. She is still young and learning her manners, so kids over 5 would be best for her as she is still a little jumpy. She loves to go for walks and human interaction. Another younger playful dog would be best for her. She is pretty athletic as well. She is very treat motivated so that makes training her that much easier. She will need heavy duty chew toys as she is still in the "puppy" stage. She has a silly goofy personality that makes her foster family laugh. Her foster family will be looking for the perfect home for her that will love her just as much as they do. Email cron_19@yahoo.com if you would like to meet Gladdy...
