Story
Meet Comet! Here is a bit about him, in his own words… or woofs… -I LOVE toys but not small ones, bones to chew and I get the zoomies all the time. -I’m very loving, I’m learning how to cuddle and love to lay on the couch with a bone. -I think I would like a doggy friend but also could be happy as an only dog. -I’ve been neutered and got a clean bill of health from the vet as well. -I would love someone who would work with me on learning better leash skills and manners training. Comet was a shelter pull at risk of euthanasia due to space and the time he had been there. We were able to get him full vaccinated, neutered, and even allergy tested. He’s been doing great on the specific allergy friendly food he is on. We are thankful we could give him the chance at a forever life by bringing him to our rescue and helping him on his journey to finding a family! If Comet sounds like he could be a match, please fill out an application on our website.

Story
Meet Reba! This sweet girl was unfortunately dealt a tough start to life where she was chained in the backyard and neglected to a point where her collar had to be surgically removed from her neck. The sweet lady has made incredible strides in her life since then and we know the right family will leave all her bad memories in the past and fill up her future with only love. We’ve made up a list for what this special girl would like in a forever home: -An active home with lots of walks and time to play ball. -I am crate trained but it’s not my favorite place so I would love to sleep in bed and cuddle on the couch with you. -Older kids would be best since I can be a little hyper I might knock a little one down. -She is open to having a doggy sibling but no cats If interested in applying for Reba, please fill out an application on our website. She can’t wait to meet you!

Story
Oh, Nyx....where do I begin. This girl is a special one! She came to us when our vet asked us to take in a special needs puppy. Nyx was born with hydrocephalus and the breeder didn't want her so she surrendered Nyx to our vet. Her hydrocephalus doesn't affect her health in any way now but we believe it has affected her personality. Nyx is a very special girl who will need a VERY special adopter. One who is patient and calm and willing to accept Nyx for who she is! Nyx wants affection on her terms but will run from you if you try to pick her up. You have to go low and slow so she won't run from you. Nyx will HAVE to have a fenced in yard for that very reason - if she got out you probably wouldn't get her to come back to you. Nyx likes other dogs but doesn't really know how to play with them and can mean to them when she's just trying to get them to play. We think all of her quirks are a direct result of her hydrocephalus. She can be so loving, but she is definitely a quirky one! Nyx will do best with older children or a quiet household. If you are the unicorn adopter we are looking for - who is willing to accept Nyx for who she is - please fill out our application at www.goofyfootrescue.org Nyx is in foster care in West TN and will be transported once her adoption is finalized.

Story
Allen Park, MI 48101 - BONDED PAIR OF SAINTS. Sadly the owner in her 80's tripped and fell and broke her hip. She is in the hospital and cannot care of her two precious babies. BONDED PAIR MUST BE ADOPTED TOGETHER. Sam and Lucy were taken in by a family in Nov. but cannot keep them. Here is a bit of info : SAM 3 year old male (UTD/neutered/weight approx. 170-175) and LUCY 1.5 year old female (UTD/spayed/weight 120). THEY LOVE EVERYONE, EVERYTHING THING. Never been around cats. But roam freely on the property and do not run away. Love children. NO STRANGER DANGER AT ALL. They love everyone and love having company. If you are petting one, you must pet the other. Sam and Lucy are experiencing allergies at the new home. Not sure why. They didnt have the issue at their old home. Family unable to get them on track with a new food and feel another family/person can help them that has the time and experience. Our rescue needs URGENTLY oster/adopter to feed them high quality food/real, human-grade food and our rescue will help get them back on track with you. Sam and Lucy grew up on Ol'Roy - crap and new family trying to help them but cannot feed raw or meat and probiotics and real food. THEY ARE GOOD PEOPLE THAT WANT WHAT IS BEST FOR SAM AND LUCY. And no one wants the dog on apoquel and steroids which are killers. THIS CAN BE FIXED. FOSTER OR ADOPTER PLEASE CALL ME 610-787-2353 for details.

Ruth

Beagle Labrador Retriever

Female, Young
Lincoln Park, MI
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Ruth goes by a few names Ru, RuRu, lil girl and boots because her paws are all white. She is sweet and playful, and extremely loving. She loves going outside in good weather and loves chasing squirrels, so the yard is always squirrel free. As mentioned she is extremely loving and likes cuddles and pets and watching tv with you(yes she actually watches). So much more to learn about her sweet personality but I only get so many characters to write. She does have sensitivity to lavender and grass, she does not require medication for them. Her belly will get red from grass but goes away shortly after laying on it and she gets itchy from lavender. I put unknown for some things as she hasn’t been around kids often but does well when she is around them(3 years and up), she runs/plays at the fence with the neighbor dog and does well with my daughters dog when she see him. She has never been around cats.
