Story
Zelda’s Search for Her Forever Home – And a Foster Family Until Then Zelda is a beautiful soul who just doesn’t understand why no one has chosen her yet. Despite her heartbreaking past, she still holds onto hope—and we do too. Zelda deserves a loving family to call her own. Could that be you? Meet Zelda: 🐾 Age: 3-4 years old 🐾 Good with: Cats, dogs, and kids 8+ (She’s a bit shy at first but warms up with kindness) 🐾 Loves: The outdoors, long walks, and exploring nature’s scents 🐾 Trained: Crate-trained, potty-trained, and fully vetted Zelda’s journey has been tough. In 2021, she tragically lost her human and found herself in a high-kill shelter—emaciated, scared, and pregnant. Since then, she’s been adopted twice, only to be returned both times through no fault of her own. Her most recent return came when her family moved out of state and the city life just wasn’t a good fit for her. This sweet girl thrives on love, patience, and a calm environment. Though she’s timid at first, once she’s comfortable, she shows her playful and affectionate side. Zelda would thrive with a patient and understanding family who can help her feel safe and secure. She’s a calm girl with a curious nature, so a secure yard is essential (6ft privacy fence or possible invisible fencing). She gets along great with children who understand her boundaries, enjoys walks, and loves being both indoors and outdoors. Car rides aren’t her favorite—she tends to get motion sickness—but she’s otherwise an easy-going companion. Zelda has waited far too long for the home she deserves. Could you be the one to give her the forever love she’s been longing for? 🔗 Apply to adopt Zelda today: https://www.sgdhrescue.dog 🔗 Foster Zelda: https://www.sgdhrescue.dog/foster-a-doggie/ Zelda’s happily-ever-after is still out there. Let’s make it happen.

Story
This Winter crew just arrived 1/22/25 so we don’t have much info yet, but we will update information as we learn about each pup. All of our pups will be fixed prior to adoption. They are currently living in temporary foster homes until they get fixed/find their forever homes. Our fosters will update us soon with pictures and bios. Many of these pups are shy at first as they have had a major change and are living inside a home with a family for the first time. They will need work on potty training, crate training, walking on a leash and basic commands. Check out our Facebook page for more information including our up coming adoption events in Brighton, MI. https://www.facebook.com/sgdhrescue?mibextid=LQQJ4d Sorry, we do not get message through Petfinder.

Story
❄️ FROSTBITE ❄️ Frosty is a not-so mini- mini australian shepherd weighing 42lbs (though she could stand to lose a bit of weight!). She's 5 years old and despite being used as a commodity her whole life, she's an absolute lover and wants to trust people. She can't wait for her forever home! We are still getting to know her, and she's a little nervous at first, but she's going to warm up into a family we just know it! She is great with other dogs, and seems like she'll be totally fine with kids. She hasn't been tested with cats. This Winter crew just arrived 1/22/25 so we don’t have much info yet, but we will update information as we learn about each pup. All of our pups will be fixed prior to adoption.
