Story
Please see HSBC website to adopt. -Hover "Adopt". Click "Dog". -Scroll to "How to Adopt" - Click "Dog Application". Dakota's background is unknown. She takes a minute to warm up. She is shy and skittish around anything new but once she knows her family, she is all in. Most likely, she was kept outside or tied up. She is learning what furniture and toys are in her foster and is acclimating to her new surroundings and the human children in her foster home very well. Her foster mom says that she is such a wonderful girl. Dakota needs a home where someone will give her the time she needs to warm up and not be scared anymore.  Older, well-behaved children are okay. We do not know how she is with cats. She has done well with dogs but can be selective with her space when it comes to dogs.

Ramona Flowers

Australian Cattle Dog

Female, Young
Fairgrove, MI
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Ramona is an energetic 2yr old Queensland Heeler mixed with an unknown larger breed. She loves to play fetch and cuddle. As long as she doesn't get too hot, her favorite spot at bed time is right where you are. Her favorite toy is the Chuck-It ball. Walking her is a breeze, she keeps pace and isn't too easily distracted. Ramona is observant and very smart, so she often knows when it's time to 'kennel up' because she has learned our 'getting ready to head out' habits. Ramona needs consistent structure, exercise, and varied enrichment. If you're looking for a fellow home-body, she's not a good fit. Our ideal adopter would be someone who is regularly active - hikers/joggers might be exactly what she needs. She's an amazing partner who deserves the best home we can find. It's truly heartbreaking to admit that we're just not the people who best fit her needs.

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story
We rescued cheese almost 2 years ago from a neglectful situation. She has been an awesome dog until we moved houses. She has become guarded and standoffish towards our other 2 dogs, she is very well behaved otherwise. Potty trained, crate trained, basic obedience, and doesnt chew things. I think she would thrive being an only dog. She is very affectionate, and loves to play frisbee or fetch of any kind.

Story
Mia is a sweet girl that just wants to be loved. She was inherited and I simply do not have the time to ensure she is getting her needs met. She has severe separation anxiety and pretty strong food aggression when other animals are present. She loves attention and will gladly sit in your lap, on you, or be happily carried around. She is a big baby. She is extremely territorial. She is a herding breed and will try to be lead dog if other dogs are around which can lead to fights. She does not like children or cats and can be aggressive towards both. She has an aversion to kennels and will not tolerate dog beds. She is housebroken but can get a little excited. She loves walks and just being around adults. I feel with the right owner, she could be an amazing companion.

Story
Welcome, I'm Eve, a wonderful female dog who's new to PAR! I'm a high-energy girl who loves to keep busy, but I also know how to relax and entertain myself with a good toy or bone. One of my favorite things is being close to my people and soaking up all the love and attention. I'm also a social butterfly when it comes to other dogs; I get so excited to interact and play with them! I'm still learning how to be the best doggie playmate, but I'm a quick study and can't wait to show you all my skills. Eve is scheduled for her spay surgery on January 9th. At that time we will have a better estimate of age (we estimate 2-3 currently). She currently weighs 46 lbs. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will keep you on your toes and fill your heart with joy, come and meet me! I promise to bring a smile to your face and be the best furry friend you could ask for. To get preapproved for adoption, please fill out our application for a meet and greet! https://www.parpets.org/adoption-application.html

Story
Meet Fiona - a 3-year-old, 45lb Cattle Dog/Shepherd mix who is as smart and athletic as she is loyal. Fiona's story hasn't been easy. She came from a home marked by domestic violence and was facing euthanasia for resource guarding. In a foster home with little handling experience, her guarding continued. But since coming to 12:10 K9 Rescues behavior modification program through Unleashed Freedom K9 Academy, she has made incredible progress. With clear leadership and structure, she has shown us her true potential. What Fiona Brings to the Table: -Work Drive for Days - She LOVES her ball, will launch into the air to catch it, and never seems to tire. -Athletic & Fast - Think Ferrari with fur. This girl was built to move. -Intelligent & Trainable - Picks up shaping quickly, eager to learn, and thrives when given a job. -Food & Toy Motivated - Ideal traits for training and working homes. -Dog Social - Gets along well with balanced dogs, especially those who can keep up with her energy. -Spayed, UTD on vaccinations, healthy, and ready for her next chapter. Fiona needs a confident, experienced handler-someone who can give her structure, channel her drive, and put her intelligence to work. In the wrong home, she's at risk. But in the right home, this girl will be a superstar. If you're interested in giving Fiona the job and home she deserves-or know someone who might be-please reach out and share her story. Let's get this incredible girl the chance she's been waiting for. We're located at 12:10 K9 Rescue, but we are willing to travel or even arrange flights for the perfect placement.
