Story
Meet Jerry! What can we say about our volunteer favorite Jer Bear. This boy is basically perfection. What a sweet and easy dog he is. Jerry has yet to meet a person he doesn't like, and as you can see he is a bit of a goofball. This boy came to us from a very bad cruelty situation but he is not holding a grudge against humans. He seemed to catch on very quickly that he was now safe and we could be trusted. Right now Jerry is not super sure about how he feels with living with another dog but this guy has the most fun personality to outmatch 2 dogs. Whoever gets this guy is one lucky family. You will have to be prepared for lots of snuggles and a lifetime of adventures and learning all the wonderful things in life he's missed. If you think this is you, please fill out an application soon as we do not see him being available long.

Story
Meet Bill! Bill is on the smaller side, and will fit perfectly on your lap or the empty spot on your couch. We see Bill happy going on all sorts of adventures with his new family, playing with all the toys and curling up at the end of the day for a fun movie night. Bill has been on a couple field trips as well as some adoption events and what a ham. This boy loves all the cuddles and attention he can get. We are not sure how Bill will do with another dog yet so starting him in his new life as an only dog would be best for him to get used to home life. If you are interested in our Wild Bill, fill out an application to make him yours!

Meet Niles! This boy is a fun active guy looking for his forever family to find him. Niles and a group of his friends were saved from a very bad situation and he is quickly learning that people can be pretty cool. Niles would like to be an only dog for now as he has never lived in a home before and all his adventures with you will be brand new, but we know he can't wait for it to happen. This boy is ready for fun walks followed by awesome snuggles to netflix and chill. If you think this guy is your boy, be sure to fill out an app before someone else does!

Story
Meet Hattie! Hattie is as sweet as they come with quite a personality to go with her. She is excellent at supervising our shelter shifts and letting us know just when we aren't moving fast enough (we see her in some sort of management position in her new home, maybe Head of Squirrel Security for example). Hattie really loves her time out and is happy to play and be with people. She is very ready to move on from shelter life and into a cozy home with a family that will love her for the rest of her life. She recently went on a field trip and was great in the car and walked very well on the leash. Hattie did not come from gentle beginnings and has never lived in a real home before so everything for her will be new. The best family for her would be able to have patience as she learns all the great things that life has to offer that she never got to experience before. Seeing her discover things for the first time is sure to melt your heart. She is a very gentle and fun girl and may be great around older kids. Right now we believe she would be best as the only dog in a home without cats for her to be the most successful. If this sounds like you, please fill out an application, Hattie is waiting!

Meet beautiful Alicia. Alicia is as sweet as can be and read to find her people. She is so happy when she gets to come out of her kennel and just soaks up all the pets she can. She came from a pretty bad situation but she is quickly learning all the fun and great things she was missing. She loves to play but would be a good contender for some Netflix and chill. She is great on a leash and in the car. She is on the smaller side so would fit perfectly in any couch spot you gave her, or lap, if you prefer. Because she lives in a shelter she will need help learning all the house stuff like where to potty, what comfy things she can lay on...you get the idea, but she is so excited to learn and the shelter is happy to help as well so you are set up properly! Small kids and cats are unknown and slow introduction with other dogs would be required. If you are interested in meeting our girl, please be sure to fill out an application for her.

Hey guys! Do you remember Happy Days? I'm Potsie. Not quite as cool as the Fonz but I am still a super fun guy. I am a bit on the quieter side but so happy when I get out of my kennel and get to run around and get the pets. I am definitely interested in having a family that wants to watch movies with me when we aren't going on all the awesome adventures I've been missing. If you think you want to hang out with me forever, please fill out an application for me.

Meet Noel, the sweetest girl who would love to be your best friend! Noel is a pint-sized gal, weighing approximately 40 lbs. She is incredibly gentle and loving with her people and is also crate and potty trained. Noel is a fantastic travel companion, adores car rides, and enjoys going for walks, behaving wonderfully on her leash. Originally a stray at an overcrowded shelter, Noel won over the hearts of many volunteers with her amazing personality, leading to her rescue. Despite being heartworm positive upon rescue, she has been treated and is now heartworm free! Noel has many endearing qualities! She loves to sleep in, and when she wakes up, she's incredibly snuggly and appreciates a good rub down. Noel has a habit of burping loudly after meals, showcasing her gratitude! Rainy walks are no issue for her, but she thoroughly enjoys the towel down when back home. While she can be a couch potato, Noel lights up when it's time to prance and play fetch in the yard. Moreover, Noel exhibits thoughtful behaviors like waiting at the door until you pass through first and politely moving aside when you say "Excuse me" if she's in your way. If you're seeking the perfect pint-sized pup to join your family, apply today! Noel is 2 years old, up to date on vaccines, spayed, and prefers to be the ONLY pet in the home to soak up all the attention. Noel would do best in an adults-only, low energy household. *2 years old *Pint sized girl, weighing only 40 lbs. *UTD on vaccines & spayed *Potty & Crate Trained *Loves going for walks *Loves going for car rides *PREFER TO BE THE ONLY PET IN THE HOME Apply today at https://peaceloveandpawsrescue.com/adopt%2Ffoster-application.

Story
Meet Rosa Barks, a dog that’s overcome many challenges, just like her trailblazing inspiration namesake. When we heard about Rosa sitting at the shelter, we knew we had to step in and help. Rosa is looking for a soft place to land and spend her golden years. Rosa had clearly been failed within her life (up until now), and is SO deserving of a loving forever home to call her own. Despite her age, this senior gal is spry and playful. She loves snuggling and playing with toys. Rosa is housetrained and generally a low maintenance dog. Her foster absolutely adores having her and cannot say enough good things about this loveable girl! As with any lady of a certain age, skincare is of utmost importance to Ms. Parks. When she came into our care, she had significant skin issues. This improved with medical care, but she will likely need to be on an allergy medication to manage her allergies moving forward. Right now, she's trying over-the-counter Zyrtec to see if that does the trick. -Estimated to be 7 years old -40 lbs -Spayed -Housetrained -Up to Date on Shots -Microchipped -Spry for her Age -Sweet & Affectionate -Dog friendly (Cats & kids unknown but don’t anticipate issues) Apply to adopt Rosa Barks today: https://peaceloveandpawsrescue.com/adopt%2Ffoster-application

Ready for your perfect companion? Look no further, Everest is your girl! Everest is approximately 3 years old but has a soul of a wise old lady. She is a calm, couch potato when you want her to be, but given the opportunity she will zoom and chase her stuffy for hours. Ball is life! She is perfectly social with other dogs and cats, and is very well adjusted in public. She would thrive in a house where she would have a playful dog friend or two. She is wonderful on the leash, just happy to sniff and stroll next to you, she would make a fantastic hiking partner! She is all kinds of funny, snuggly, goofy, and cute as a button too. Evvie loves kids, is crate trained, house trained, knows sit, touch and down and would love someone to teach her more cool things. She has gone from a completely emaciated 29lbs to a healthy 52lb! She would need to put on a few more pounds before she is at her ideal weight, but would be more than willing to steal all the snacks from you. She is spayed, microchipped, UTD on vaccines and hw prevention!

Story
Nadia is a sweet dog with so much potential. She was a rescue dog and we’ve had her for 5 years. She definitely needs training. She is lovely to my husband and I and has never tried to attack us, nip at us or shown us any aggression whatsoever. However, she has shown aggression to other dogs when they are in her territory or when she is eating. We got a consult to get her trained and we’re told she is territorial, a trait that probably developed when she was a stray. My husband and I have seen the sweet side of her, she loves to cuddle and is obedient but we cannot afford to train her and we are worried about having her around our newborn since she is territorial. Also we both started new careers and our schedules are way too hectic to responsibly care for a dog, let alone 2 dogs and a child. Because of this we want to rehome her to a loving and capable home.

These pups are in Royal Oak, Michigan too!

Story
Gypsy was a stray. A man in Raymond, Mississippi found her and took her to the pound. They were going to euthanize her, and he took her home. She did not like his cats, so he surrendered her to us. She LOVES to run and play, and she needs a lot of exercise. She does good with most all dogs, but she is shy when she meets new people. Gypsy does not like cats! Once she warms up to people, she just wants to give kisses! Her ideal home would be a person or family that has a large yard for her to run and play in. She would be the best dog to do activities with or just cuddle with on the couch. She should be fine in a large, fenced yard. She can be hyper at times but settles down nicely inside with a chew toy. Gypsy is in boarding now, and she desperately needs a forever family!! We use the most animal-friendly transport on the road. Rescue Riders Pet Transport.
