Story
We have had Zeke since he was 5 weeks old. He is now 3 years old. He was born May 13, 2022. Hes a great dog just does not like my son who is 1 year old. He has tried biting his a couple times and I have intervened each time. He gets along great with our other dog Kehlani, she keeps him in line for the most part. Zeke really does not chew things up unless they’re his toys. He is potty trained. Zeke is not cage trained, we tried when he was younger but did not succeed. He hates water. He loves the winter. Zeke is a good dog I just can’t risk my son anymore than I have now. It breaks my heart even posting this. We just want him to go to a good home.

Story
Dude is a 1yr old neutered male Pitbull Terrier. He weighs 53lbs. Dude came to us from our local dog pound. He was picked up as a stray and never reclaimed. This guy is fun, adventurous and fabulous. He does have energy but can also be a snuggle bug. He would love to try his paws at hiking and camping. He might even go for a swim in the lake. He is ready to share all of his life's adventures with his forever family. He could use a few manners but is learning good behavior with us. He would be best suited with older children. He was fine with most other dogs. We are unsure about cats. He seems house trained. He might have a few accidents adjusting to his new home. He is up to date on shots and wormed. He is already neutered. The adoption fee is $250. If interested in meeting this cutie, please email heritagefarms08@gmail.com or call the foster at 419- 779-0862 . He is being fostered in Ottawa Lake , Michigan. When emailing please include information about you and your family including other pets . Also include your vet information.

Story
Meet Toledo: A story of hope, resilience, and a whole lot of love waiting to be discovered.This sweet boy's journey started when he was surrendered to another shelter at just 17 weeks old. We welcomed him to our facility in May 2025, hoping a fresh start would help him find his forever home. Now, at 1 1/2 years old, he's still waiting, and we can't understand why.Despite his past, Toledo is an absolute sweetheart. He loves cuddles and is a total goofball, adoring our staff and volunteers, but it's not the same as having a family. He is a gem on a leash. He loves car rides and pup cups. He loves to play with toys, but hasn't mastered fetch. He truly just wants to be with people. He seems to get along with other calm and kind dogs, as always, slow introductions are best. Toledo is fully vetted, full of life, and so ready to meet his forever family. If you're looking for a loving companion, please consider Toledo. Let's help him find the home he deserves and rewrite his story.**Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs about 40 lbs**
