Story
Meet Walt! This 3-year-old, 20-pound chihuahua is a gentle and thoughtful boy looking for a calm, patient home where he can truly blossom! Walt is currently enjoying some much-needed time in a fabulous foster home with an awesome trainer! His foster dad is helping him to become the confident, capable boy we all know he can be! Walt may be a little shy when you first meet him, but don’t let that fool you — once he feels safe, he is incredibly sweet, loyal, and deeply capable of forming strong bonds with “his” people. Walt is currently enjoying daily structured walks, which he absolutely loves. These walks have helped him build confidence, learn that “leash = follow,” and strengthen his trust in his handler. He walks nicely, stays engaged, and is clearly gaining comfort in the world one step at a time. In the home, Walt is both house-trained and crate-trained! He does wonderfully with other dogs and is respectful of cats. He tends to be more curious about other animals than people at first, and having a calm, balanced dog in his future home would likely help him continue to gain confidence (though it is not required). Walt prefers to observe, think, and approach at his own pace. He sleeps quietly through the night. Walt is still learning that human hands, leashes, and food bowls are safe, so he appreciates slow movements, calm energy, and gentle guidance. With consistency and patience, he is making beautiful progress. When given space and time, Walt will approach for affection and is clearly beginning to enjoy gentle love and connection. Ideal Home for Walt: ● A patient, calm adopter who values structure and routine ● A quieter household (ages 16+) ● Daily walks and predictable boundaries ● Someone willing to let Walt warm up on his own terms ● Optional: another calm, well-balanced dog Walt is searching for the right person who understands him. In return, he will offer quiet companionship, loyalty, and a truly special bond. If you’re looking for a sensitive, thoughtful, and deeply rewarding dog, Walt might just be your perfect match. Walt's amazing foster dad/trainer has put together some helpful training suggestions along with a guide on how to help him acclimate to his new home. If you'd like to be the one to show him just how good life can be, head to greatlakesdogrescue.com and submit your application for our wonderful Walt!

Story
Somebody sure looks adorable in their green bow tie! Chuck is estimated to be about 9 months old and weighs 17 pounds. Meet Chuck, a bundle of spunky and playful energy! Chuck is an outgoing and silly pup who just wants to stay by your side and bring some fun into your life. What he craves the most is closeness and a snuggly spot right next to you. He's still learning his manners though and would benefit from a structured home that can provide him with the guidance he needs to thrive. We do want to keep Chuck safe, so he will need some type of containment plan as he is all puppy right now and loves to run and play. He will also need a home where any children are at least 4 years old. Chuck would really like it if you came to meet him, he is hoping you won't be able to resist his cuteness! If there is another nice doggy sibling in the home, Chuck would love to meet them. He has a friendly approach with other dogs and is very open to interacting. If you are interested in Chuck and are at least 21 years old, please come to our kennel during business hours, make an appointment, or fill out an application at k9stray.com and an adoption counselor will be in touch. We look forward to helping you find your new best friend! *Please check your lease agreements for breed/weight restrictions prior to applying. We also do not do cat testing, so we do not know how a dog will do with cats. Not all dogs are available to go home on the same day you first meet.*

Clive is an outgoing and loving boy who adores being close and will happily crawl into your lap for some attention and cuddles, that's his favorite!

Story
At 8 years old, Consuela is learning how to navigate a world that suddenly feels very different. After losing the only home and person she’s ever known, she’s searching for one simple thing… someone to love and stay close to. And love she does. From the moment she arrived into her foster home, Consuela showed just how deeply she connects to her people. She came right up, allowed herself to be held, and quickly made it clear that she just wants to be near you. She’ll follow you from room to room, gently paw for attention, and happily climb into your lap for comfort and affection. Being close is where she feels safe. Consuela would do best in a calm, patient home with someone who is around often and understands small breed needs.  We don’t yet know how she does with cats or other dogs, but she did come from a home with another small dog. Consuela has so much love to give. She is hoping to find someone willing to meet her where she is, hold her close, and remind her that she’s home again. Could that be you?We do not have a facility for you to visit.

Story
Max is an 11-year-old terrier with a gentle soul and a story that has shaped his tender heart. After losing his beloved owner, Max is understandably a bit timid—he’s been through a lot and is still learning to feel safe again in a world that suddenly changed. Despite his shyness, there’s something incredibly special about Max. He forms deep bonds and, once he trusts you, his quiet loyalty and love are truly unforgettable. He misses the comfort of his old life, but with patience and kindness, he’s ready to open his heart again. Max is looking for a calm, adult-only home where he can settle in at his own pace. He needs someone who understands that love sometimes takes time—but is so worth the wait. With the right person, Max will blossom, and the moment you see him relax and feel safe, your heart will absolutely melt. Give him that chance, and you won’t just be giving him a home—you’ll be gaining a best friend forever.We do not have a facility for you to visit.
