Story
Sam is a 4yo lavender beagle. We were his third home by the time he was 4 months old. Because he was crated 24/7 and not given love in those crucial months he has a crate aversion and his emotions can be odd. He wants to be in control of other dogs. He attended a 2wk board and train when he was two. He has retained a lot of what he learned but even the trainer felt he was a failure because of his quirks. Sam does love to train, he enjoys the one on one and showing what he can do. He is a fat boy who loves who loves food more than anything! He knows how to wait to eat with a Go Ahead command. He loves to give hugs. He knows sit, down, stay, high five, spin, loves to do jumps over beams and absolutely loves to go on walks! He could be an amazing pet if he was the only dog in the house. He loves cats and other small pets, he is not prey or hunt driven. Sam deserves all the love he missed out on as a pup. We have no choice in rehoming him.

Story
My big boy Eli is about 140 lbs of pure love and energy. Him and I went through a significant amount of changes: moving 3 times, loss of his alpha (my husband passed), and not given nearly as much attention as he deserves due to having a baby and these life changes. Eli is great with kids and other dogs. He has a lot of energy so having room to roam and play is important. Before all these changes he was trained on an electric fence and did great with that. He needs someone who has the time to re-train him. He is on Prozac for anxiety but other than that he has no health conditions. He deserves a home that can give him more attention and love. My heart is broken but he deserves the best.

Story
Meet Makemake!!!Makemake (pronounced mah-kay-mah-kay) is a sweet and gentle 2-year-old female dog who is just starting to come out of her shell. She can be a little nervous at first, but with patience and care, she is quickly warming up to people. Makemake enjoys leaning in for pets and is always eager for treats, showing a lot of potential to build a bond with her future family. She seems to already know commands like `sit` and `lay down,` which is a great sign of her willingness to learn. Given her shy nature, we recommend that she meet everyone in the household, before adoption to make sure it`s a good fit. She’s likely to feel more comfortable around people who are understanding of her gentle approach and can give her space as she adjusts.When it comes to meeting other dogs, Makemake may need some extra time to feel comfortable. She can be a little unsure at first, but with slow introductions, we believe she could thrive in a home with other dogs. If adopters have other pets, a meeting at the shelter would be the best way to see how she interacts with them in a calm, controlled setting. Makemake is a loving dog who is looking for a patient and understanding home where she can feel safe, loved, and comfortable.She is spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on her vaccinations and preventatives. If you have further questions, please call the shelter at (517) 626-6060 or email our adoption staff at adoptions@AdoptLansing.org.

Story
Meet Donny!!!Donny is an 8-month-old male pup with the heart of a playful teenager and a sweet, gentle nature. He loves staying close to them for pets and happily accepts treats with a wagging tail. His playful side shines with toys like balls, squeaky toys, and tug ropes—he’s always up for some fun! To ensure the best fit, we recommend that all family members meet Donny before adoption.Donny recently tried to make a new canine friend by playfully chasing and pouncing around to play. Because of this, Donny would do best with a slow introduction to any resident dogs in the home. He’s a sweet, happy boy who’s ready to bring joy and love to a home that matches his energy and friendly spirit!He is neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccinations and preventatives. If you have further questions, please call the shelter at (517) 626-6060 or email our adoption staff at adoptions@AdoptLansing.org.

Story
Meet Ronny!!!Ronny is a sweet 9-month-old pup with a gentle heart and a thoughtful nature. While he can be a little nervous around new people and unfamiliar situations, Ronny really starts to shine when he`s given the time and space to feel comfortable—especially outside, where he seems to feel most at ease. Once he settles in, Ronny shows his playful side and enjoys toys, especially when he feels safe. He can be a bit selective with treats, but that just means you get to find out what his favorites are as you build trust together!Ronny would thrive in a patient, understanding home where he can build confidence at his own pace. We believe he`d benefit from a calm environment with no young kids, and we’d love for everyone in the household to meet him beforehand to ensure it`s the perfect match. He might also enjoy the companionship of another friendly dog, which can sometimes help nervous pups learn the ropes and feel more secure. With love, patience, and encouragement, Ronny has the potential to become a loyal and loving companion.He is neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccinations and preventatives. If you have further questions, please call the shelter at (517) 626-6060 or email our adoption staff at adoptions@AdoptLansing.org.
