Story
Halo has led a very sheltered life of late but he's about as perfect dog as anyone can hope for. He's 3.5 years old. We've had him for a few months now and we've learned a ton about his personality and he's about as perfect a dog as anyone can hope to find in this life.. He is VERY smart. He loves people, primarily women, he is fine around other dogs and cats. He reacts to people in a friendly way but needs to go slow in meeting them at first. If someone has an issue with dogs and behaves weird around him, he doesn't understand that so he will bark at them, but once he is properly introduced, he will love on them. He needs a loving home with a woman in it that will be his person. A person that is going to have the time and energy to focus on him, spoiling him and having a great amount of exercise daily. He's active, he's busy, but he does calm down and snuggle after play time. Very sweet with kids, he's best with kids that are ages 8 and older, but he has been around younger kids and he's not a fan of long term exposure to them, he will look for an adult to cling to. This is what we are looking for, for him. Smoke free house with a big fenced yard. An active person who has the need for a bestie and is pretty social and active. Someone who is either a couple or works from home. He is going to need a home where his person works from home or has a business they can take him along. No apartments or manufactured home neighborhoods will be considered. He was in a crate ten hours a day and we are not going back to him being in a crate. He does heavily attach to his people. He's even made besties with a horse he's fostered with and he loves her. He's very well behaved and a great rider in the car. He LOVES going for rides and rides great in the car. Older kids are perfect for him. No kids is even more perfect for him. He likes certain other dogs. he's fine around cats. He's 19 pounds and cute as a button. He is house trained and tells you when he needs to go out. Very happy pup. He is not big on barking but he does and he will let you know when someone is approaching. Pretty great guard dog. So to recap: News house with good size fenced yard Loves car rides Great with cats, dogs, kids but doesn't want to live with kids full time Non smoking home Loves women way more than men Needs his person to be home or working from home Needs a lot of exercise often Likes play dates with other dogs, if living with another dog, that dog needs to let him be the spoiled one without cutting in front to steal the attention For more information call or text me at 517 294 4514 or send me your phone number to marlas2468@yahoo.com if you'd like information or a response.

Story
This is a courtesy post for HSHV. This is a great dog for the right person! Hi, everyone, my name is Clover. I tend to become overwhelmed easily, and the shelter environment is, well, rather overwhelming. So I'm looking to be rescued ASAP by a patient and understanding human; someone who's prepared (with a pocketful of snacks, ideally) to help me keep my cool when I'm venturing outside my comfort zone. I'm a fun-loving dog who loves to play chase, so a home with cats wouldn't be a good fit for my exuberant personality. If you've got the skills to read both my subtle and not so subtle body language, I'd love for you to be my guiding light. Being a 1-year-old German shepherd, it goes without saying that I have an overabundance of energy as well as a brilliant mind. If you're a human with an active lifestyle, I want in on it. I'm talking hikes, fetch, puzzles. I'd even be open to some agility training once I get to know you a little better. Please teach me to channel my energy away from fear and towards fun! Since I'm a sensitive girl, I'd do best in a single family home without dogs and adults only. Remember, adoption is not just about finding a pet; it's about changing a life. Are you craving a new chapter? Me too! Take a chance on this pup, and you'll be rewarded with a transformation beyond your wildest dreams.

Cabbage

Australian Cattle Dog

Female, Puppy
Ypsilanti, MI
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Cabbage is an intelligent (like so smart), spunky, loving pup that has a lot of energy. She enjoys snuggles, playing fetch, belly rubs, and tearing apart her favorite toys. Cabbage is up to date on all shots and is spayed. Cabbage needs to be the only dog in the home as she has resource guarding tendencies. She doesn’t guard from humans, only dogs. She has some separation anxiety and would be a good fit for someone who works from home or lives with multiple people so she doesn’t have to be left alone too often. We are actively working on crate training and she knows obedience cues such as sit, down, and wait.

Story
Teddy is a sweet, lovable dog who, unfortunately, is in need of a new home due to behavioral challenges that are hard for his current family to manage. A gentle soul at heart, Teddy can be a bit anxious in unfamiliar situations, which has led to occasional biting. He thrives in calm, consistent environments and benefits from patience and understanding as he navigates his fears. While he may need some time and training to build trust and overcome his anxieties, Teddy is a loyal companion who loves food, long walks and a nice belly rub. If you’re experienced with dogs and looking for a project, Teddy could be the perfect fit for your home, where he can feel safe and truly loved. We are surrending him soon so please contact us if your interested.
