Story
🎱❤️🎱 ADOPT ME 🎱❤️🎱 Meet Bumper! He’s needs a family to call his own. Bumper was found as a stray a few weeks back in the bitter cold. It was apparent he hadn’t been cared for. Moving forward he has soaked up the love in his foster home. Bumper is somewhat of a special needs guy. He seems to have some deformities to at least one of his legs. We’ve had him checked out and the cause is unknown, could be birth defects. He gets around well considering his feet flip under occasionally. He’s a fragile little dude, but he loves to be carried so all is good! Bumper stats - 🖤 Bumper is a Shih Tzu, male, 10lbs ❤️ He gets along well with all other animals, but due to his tiny stature he should only be placed with gentle friends 🖤 He’s all Shih Tzu personality, demanding, stubborn at times, dramatic, cuddly, loving, grumpy when he’s had enough, quirky, etc. If you love the breed, you’ll love him! ❤️ We are unsure of his exact age, his teeth are an excellent condition, which indicates he’s young, some of the neglect he suffered may have taken a toll on his appearance 🖤 Kids 12 & up ❤️ He’s not the athletic type, he mostly enjoys laying on the couch, cuddling and being carried around. Limited exercise for this guy! 🖤 Special needs dogs are not for everyone, but if you have had one before you know how special they are. They rely on their caregiver greatly. If you want to pup to put in a stroller, purse, take around with you, he’s your man! ❤️ Bumper does not require any meds or treatment for his deformity at this time If you’re interested in having Bumper join your journey in life, fill out an application - Email us for one or visit our website for an electronic version - 🎱 www.Canineliberationleague.com 🎱 Canineliberationleague@gmail.com Bumper is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, fecal & heartworm tested. 📍LOCATION - South Lyon, MI ❤️🖤PLEASE SHARE TO HELP BUMPER🖤❤️

Make sure to let us know you saw Beau on Adopt-a-pet. Please contacted the shelter before coming in to meet, Beau is relaxing in a foster home! Beau the beautiful has got an A++ on just about everything. He will steal your heart the second you look into those big brown eyes! House trained ✅ does his business outside, is calm and collected in the house no need for a crate. Sleeps through the night. Beau is a couch/bed kind of dog... LOVES HIS CUDDLES and just wants to be right by your side. So preferably someone who doesn't mind sharing their couch for the best snuggles you'll ever get! People friendly ✅ is great with anyone even kids. Other pets: Beau is playful and friendly with bigger dogs but still may need to be the only one in the home. Possible meet and greet. Small dogs he doesn't seem to mind but not introduced enough to tell. Cats ❌ Car rides ✅ great in the car, loves the windows! Walks✅ a dream to walk, will stay right by your side. He loves to play and will require someone to be active with him daily. Great at fetch and bringing the ball back! Grooming/feeding✅✅ eats great, stays relaxed in the tub for a bath. Overall Beau is such a sweetheart. Is attentive and will follow you around. Very loyal and loving. Equal parts playful and relaxed. So, if you are in need of a walking buddy or someone to cuddle up and watch some holiday movies with Beau is the one. ❤️🐾

Story
Make sure to let us know you saw Toby on Adopt-a-pet. Toby is a sweet boy looking for a home to call his own! He is so affectionate & just wants to find someone to love him back. He loves to play with other dogs but can be a bit much for some. Toby will be neutered post-adoption to ensure that he can recover well outside of the shelter environment.
