Story
👻🖤 ADOPT ME 🖤👻 Miss Eloise is ready to move on with her life’s journey & find a forever home! Many may remember she was caught on the streets of Detroit after running for her life. Her experience of surviving alone can been seen in some of her personality. We believe her to only be 1-2 years old and maybe a pure miniature Poodle. She has striking features with her luxurious locks and gorgeous hazel eyes. Some stats on Eloise - 🎃 Eloise is a nervous girly. Although she’s truly dedicated to her foster mother, she will need a caregiver who understands her timid nature. She was starving & alone, fending for herself for a given amount of time. You can see this in her personality as she will scavenge for food or items to collect them. She had probably done this awhile to survive. It will take her time to realize she’s safe & loved in a new environment. 🎃 Kids over 12 due to her flight risk nature. Although she’s been fond of the young people she has met. 🎃 Eloise is good with other dogs & cats, although she will invade their space just due to never being taught boundaries. We feel she would benefit from being placed with another confident dog to show her the dog world properly. 🎃 Anyone interested in giving our sweet girl a forever home will need to be patient with her and let her gradually blossom into the dog she always dreamed of being. Upon meeting her she will not embrace a stranger, she will shy away. She will need adequate reinforcement that everything is going to be just fine.  APPLICATIONS AVAILABLE by website or email- 👻 www.Canineliberationleague.com 👻 Canineliberationleague@gmail.com We have saved many dogs like sweet Eloise from the streets of Detroit now. They often need a reset of their lives & quickly attach themselves to their caregivers because it’s the only comfort they have felt for a long time. It’s quite sad, but also very sweet. It just takes empathy from an individual to overcome the trauma 🖤🧡🖤 Eloise has been spayed, microchipped and is current on all essential vaccinations, including fecal and heartworm testing. 👻 Location - SOUTH LYON, MI

Story
Dash is a 3 yr old neutered male currently in foster with the behavioral trainer. No other dogs, and no children please. Dash is a super sweet boy. He does have some OCD behavior that he is currently working on. (Light chasing & spinning mostly) He may possibly be near or far sighted. He has had a full eye screening that does not show anything remarkable. He can have resource guarding issues that is why he needs to be an only dog. Dash is located with me in Michigan going through training and full screening. He is a well bred dog from a reputable breeder that does all of the breeds health testing.

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. ❤️🐾
