Story
Meet Elvin, a charming little oddball with a heart full of love 🐾💖. Elvin enjoys being close to his people, soaking up affection and companionship, but he prefers his personal space rather than being right on top of you. He’s happiest in a calm, quiet home and would do best without young children, where he can relax and feel secure 💕. Elvin can have good days and bad days, but with patience, kindness, and letting him go at his own pace, he truly thrives 💗. He does have a sensitive stomach, but with the right food, regular exercise, and a low-stress routine, he feels his very best 💞. If you’re looking for a gentle, loyal companion who will blossom in a peaceful home, Elvin may be the perfect match for your heart 💓🐾. - Around 6 years old - Currently under 40lbs - Good with cats and dogs - Good with kids, but prefers a calm/quiet environment - Adoption fee: $100 This dog is currently housed at our shelter.

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.

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
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
Hi! I’m a 4-month-old bundle of zoomies, wiggles, and puppy kisses I love chasing toys, learning new tricks (especially if treats are involved), and making everyone laugh with my silly antics. I’m still growing into my paws, but I’ve already mastered being adorable and full of love. If you’re looking for a happy, energetic best friend who’s ready to explore the world with you, I’m your pup!We do not have a facility for you to visit. You are welcome to email ccrcdogs@ccrcdogs.com with specific questions, but please complete the online application, which can be found at www.ccrcdogs.com, to secure your position in line for one of our dogs. You can also find a description of our process on that same page. Puppies will not be available to be seen until their 10-day quarantine has passed. Our adoption fees are listed on our website and cover the cost of the spay/neuter, age-appropriate shots and tests, medications to bring the dog to full health, and a free visit with one of our approved vets after adoption. Most dogs at CCRC are obtained from animal control centers so there is often very little known about their history or current habits. You can always expect to do some training, regardless of whether you adopt a dog or a puppy, including crate training, house training, and basic manners. CCRC has a variety of materials and resources to assist you with this, and we have trainers who will offer free phone/email support. December 14, 2025, 10:28 am
