Meet Tanker: The One-Dog Welcome Committee! Age: 1 year Breed: Pittie Mix Neutered: Yup! Ready for his forever home! If you’ve ever wished your dog would greet you at the door like you’re the most important human on planet Earth… meet Tanker. This boy loves people so much he may actually file a petition to become your shadow. Walking to the bathroom alone? Not on Tanker’s watch. Tanker is a toy enthusiast, specializing in squeakers, stuffies, and anything that bounces. He approaches playtime with the energy of a toddler who just learned what sugar is. He’s also friendly with other dogs, making him the perfect buddy for playdates or a built-in companion for your current pup. He believes in sharing toys… unless it’s the really good one, and then he may politely recommend joint custody. Tanker is fun, sweet, and ready to fill your life with laughter, love, and a little chaos in the best way possible. Come meet him—Tanker is ready to roll into your heart! If interested, please call the shelter at 231-861-5395 and leave a message to be placed on this dog's adoption list. No obligation, but it reserves your place in line on the list.

Meet Harley – The Shy Guy with the Showstopper Ears! Harley is a 1-year-old pittie boy with the kind of ears that deserve their own fan club. They flop, they perk, they tilt — honestly, they might be his secret superpower for melting hearts. He’s a little timid when meeting new people (he’s still figuring out that not everyone’s a vet with a thermometer), but once he decides you’re safe, you’ll have a loyal shadow who just wants to be near you. With a little patience, some tasty treats, and maybe a squeaky toy or two, Harley will bloom into the best buddy you could ever ask for. Harley’s perfect home would be one that understands that good things take time — and great things have adorable ears. If you’re ready to give this sweet boy the love and confidence he deserves, Harley is waiting just for you! Harley — timid heart, perfect ears, and even bigger love to give!
