Story
This is LuLu! She is 5 years old as of September. We rescued her 2 years ago. She loves people, kids, animals, car rides and sleeping!! Nothing seems to spook her, scare her or raise her temper besides the vacuum and loud thunder LOL She needs a loving home where she can be a couch potato! She is LAZY. But also someone to pet her and love her and show her some attention. She is also overweight!! We have managed it but she has zero exercise or fun at our house and has become depressed. She would be good in a home with small children or other animals or quiet and relaxed. She adapts very well but needs some kick in the butt. She is house trained, BUT my fiance got a job out of state and is gone for weeks and our older kids come week on week off she has become depressed with just me and my 2 year old who is special needs and takes all the attention.So she will use the bathroom overnight if you dont let her out. Not during the day. Shes sweet amd just wants love.❤️ (She is a micro bully)

Story
Hello, we are looking to re-home our puppy. He was born in February of 2024. He is a mix of lab and pit. He is not aggressive but does chew a lot. I previously was working from home, when I got him for the family, but now I work full-time in an office and he is a bit too strong for my wife to walk. He is mostly house trained but still has accidents. I have a pet bed, vest, leash and nail clippers I can send with him. He has had the opportunity to meet and play with other dogs and was not aggressive and played fine. He has not been around cats yet. The vet had recommended waiting until he was a year old before neutering him so we haven't done that yet.

Talia

German Shepherd Dog Husky

Female, Young
Lansing, MI
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Talia is a 40 lb spayed, one and a half year old rambunctious, high energy, loving dog. She loves to play fetch, tug of war, or shred up stuffed animal toys until your arms fall off. She might take a while to warm up to you, but once she does she has an amazing personality that you will love. Due to her Husky heritage, she will carry out long conversations with you and with enough sass to give a 12 year old girl a run for her money. She has been in a home for the past four months, but her placement before that period is unknown. As such, she has a hard time understanding some social cues. She loves playing with other dogs even when they are too tired to continue. The ideal home for Talia includes someone with knowledge in training somewhat difficult dogs and a schedule that includes more at home time than what is typically expected. She has an aversion to being in a crate while home alone and has been prescribed anxiety medication for separation anxiety.

Story
Reese was rescued by my ex partner and I from a previous owner that could not take care of him when he was 4 months old. He was Born February 8th, 2024 so he is currently only 9 months old. He is neutered. He only lives with me and my 3 year old now but I am pregnant (due in March) and I am back to working full time. Therefore Reese stays in a cage for most of the day and by the time I get home I am taking care of my kid and cooking. I only have time to feed him and take him out to poo/pee. Which is not how I want him to live. Also since he’s still a baby himself he is still being trained to be around little kids. He has not yet realized how big he is so he has to be redirected when trying to play with someone who does want to play. He loves affection and listens especially well (when there’s no distractions). He’s friendly but is an excited big pup so redirect when stimulated.
