Story
We adopted Bumpy from a private owner last spring. He was very wild when we got him and that has improved significantly. Unfortunately he has become too aggressive in play towards our elderly dogs and we must rehome him. He loves people especially kids and wants to play with other dogs but needs to play with bigger dogs. He is definitely a beagle in a pug suit. He has never around cats or small animals so don’t know how he would do with them.. He is housebroken and crates very well, he has food allergies so must be on a strict salmon and sweet potato diet but a very good food is available at pets supplies plus. He is a very charming and loving dog and it breaks my heart to rehome him, but I have to think about what is best for everyone in our pack.

Story
This is Griswald! (Also know as Griz). I am looking to find a new home for him. He is a great dog who is full of love! Unfortunately we are having issues with him nipping at our young toddler and want to find a better fit for him. He is a little bit of a nervous guy… but it doesn’t take long for him to warm up and once he knows he can trust you he will love you forever. It’s very hard for me to say goodbye, but I think it’s the best choice for him right now.

Story
First - the adoption fee will be sent to the Michigan Humane Society to help with all the animals they rescue. I have had this sweet, kiss giving girl for several months now. I got her thru a friend of a friend when her one and only owner passed and the owner's family could not keep the dog. They thought she was about 8 or 9 years old. She was raised with an invisible fencing system. I do not have one. I do not have a fenced in yard. I take her on walks during the day. I am a Senior citizen and I am not steady on my feet and I have poor balance. She has pulled me down once and I am afraid of it happening again. She is so sweet and loves to sit next to you and cuddle. She does not realize her strength. She would do great with a house full of kids or a Senior with a fenced yard. She should be in a cat free household. She loves to play fetch and actually brings the ball back & gives it to you! Please help me find a good home for this sweet girl.
