Story
Foster location: Eagle, Michigan Meet Axel! Axel is a super handsome 1.5 year old Cattle Dog mix that is looking for his forever home. He is a very social boy who loves playing with his foster siblings and running with them in the yard, going for walks and meeting new people and then cuddling up on the couch at night with his foster mom. Axel has been attending doggy daycare and loves it! Axel is house and crate trained and walks good on a leash. He is great about chewing on his toys and bones and not getting into things he shouldn’t. Axel would enjoy an active home with another young dog to play with, he has really bonded with his foster siblings and enjoys running and playing with them. Kids make Axel nervous so he is looking for a home without children. Axel is a very sweet and smart boy and catches onto new things quickly, he is young and ready to learn! In order to set him up for success we would recommend his family enroll him in a positive reinforcement training class upon adoption. Axel’s adoption fee is $300, he is neutered, fully vaccinated, heartworm tested, microchipped, dewormed, and current on heartworm and flea/tick preventative. Please follow the instructions to apply for Axel found in the auto-reply you will receive or email adoptapupanimalrescue@gmail.com for an application. Adopt A Pup is 100% foster-based which means we do not have a centralized facility where you can visit our dogs. The first step towards meeting the dog(s) you are interested is to complete an application. One of our volunteers will contact your references and set up a time between you and the foster to meet and interact with the dog(s) of interest.

Story
Did you know that the ivy plant is a symbol of everlasting life, devotion, fidelity and loyalty? An inspiring name for a charismatic pooch such as myself! Being the young lady that I am, an active family would be a match made in heaven! Play time is quite possibly my favorite time of day (sometimes I get a bit carried away with my plushy toys). I like to live life enthusiastically, having a positive direction for my gusto would be the ultimate delight for me! Although physical activity is an absolute riot, having a cool down period with some mental games is a good time too. At the end of the day, I just want to be involved with my people. I am not one to turn down a snuggle session by any means. What can I say, I am a sweetheart after all. I hope to find a family that wants to understand and accepts me for the glorious rescue dog that I am. For instance, I like some other dogs, but not every dog. Smaller dogs (and cats for that matter) remind me of chicken nuggets, I can't help but feel some prey drive there. But some other dogs my own size are fun to hang out and play with. I suppose that its pretty normal to not get along with everyone you meet in life though. Whether or not you are a botanical enthusiast, if you are looking for a forever companion submit your adoption application for the perfect furry addition! DOB: 5/25/2021 For safety's sake, we are looking for homes with physical fenced in areas. Please fill out our online adoption survey at www.mackenzies.info/adopt/adoption-survey-application/

Cheese

Australian Cattle Dog Labrador Retriever

Female, Young

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
Introducing Cocoa!! This adorable little girl was found with her mom behind a dumpster when she was just 1–2 weeks old, eyes still closed. Thankfully, her finders stepped in, offered to foster, and brought them home to safety. As of December 17, Cocoa is estimated to be around 5 weeks old, and in just a few short weeks she’ll be ready to head to her forever home. Her mom is a petite 25 lb cattle dog mix, and while we have no idea who dad is, it’s clear Cocoa is growing quickly so he must’ve been a slightly bigger guy! Like all puppies, Cocoa will need continued training, socialization, and physical activity to grow into the best version of herself. She’s off to a great start thanks to being raised in a loving foster home from such a young age. Cocoa is being fostered in Houston, Texas, but she is available for adoption in many locations across the country. If you think Cocoa might be your next best friend, apply here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DSTR/Dog

Parker

Australian Cattle Dog Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Battle Creek, MI
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Parker is a Male Aussie/Terrier mix DOB: June of 2025 Adoption fee: $200 We are playful pups. We are building confidence each week with increasing one-on-one time with helpful volunteers. Parker is a lovely boy who loves people. Paige might be a little shyer at first, but once she is comfortable in her environment, she is a typical rambunctious pup. Payton is a pistol who has a mind of his own but is very affiliative. Paxton is the voice of the group and has a knack for dramatic scenes. All are very smart and quick learners. These pups would truly be best with a physically fenced-in yard. It may be required. They are not fit for apartment life. Pending a meet and greet, we may do well with another dog, and children 8 years or older (possibly younger pending previous experience). We have not been around cats, with a slow positive introduction and a little obedience training, we should be fine with a dog-savvy cat. These pups will make a great companion for the right situation. We should be medium-sized when fully grown.
