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!

Story
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!

Story
Meet Cece Cece is a 1.5-year-old cattle dog/heeler mix who seems to have missed the memo about being “independent.” Her true calling is full-time sweetheart, professional cuddler, and devoted co-pilot. At just 29 pounds, she’s the perfect size for snuggling close without stealing the whole couch. This girl is a total house angel. No accidents, no chaos, just a gentle girl who would happily spend her days curled up with her person, taking the occasional fetch break when the mood strikes. She’s wonderful in the car and would gladly tag along for every errand, window cracked, ears relaxed. Her prized possession is her Lamb Chop toy, carefully selected during a very important shopping trip Cece does need to be the only dog in the home and is looking for someone who can be around most of the time. She’s showing some separation anxiety, and while that may improve with time and stability, right now she feels safest when her people are close. She can be kenneled for short periods, but her happiest place is tucked in next to the humans she loves. Her dream home is calm, low-key, and full of companionship. A retired person or couple would be perfect, but most of all, she’s searching for someone who wants a loyal shadow and a heart-on-four-legs. Cece doesn’t have a mean bone in her body. She just wants to be someone’s whole world… and she promises to love them right back with everything she’s got. 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.
