A happy energetic dog. Loves to play and enjoys long walks. Very smart. Not food motivated. Love’s playing with other dogs. We’re unable to provide the life that Dex deserves. My roommate and I are moving soon and can’t bring him along. I just hope someone needs a furbaby and has lots of time to spend with him, reaches out. He deserves the world!

Story
Hi! This big boys name is Mishka (Meesh-ka) and it means little bear in Russian, which he is literally the size of a little bear! He’s such a loving, affectionate, funny boy. He loves people and animals but is solely an inside dog, not outside. He’s the perfect dog for me and what i want, but unfortunately I’m going to Basic Training and AIT for the Army, and I’ll be gone for 5 months. My mom won’t be able to take care of him how he needs so, this is the best option for him. So even though this boy is a perfect dog, he’s a lot of responsibility. He needs grooming every 3 weeks or so, eats a LOT of food (he’s 105bs and growing, so that’s between 6-7 cups of food) and his hind legs are a little deformed so stairs are a little hard for him. Other than that one thing, his legs don’t bother him and it’s no medical concern. But i want to make sure that this information is shared so i can most literally find him a perfect home! I’m trying to avoid taking him to the ASPCA for as long as i can

Willow

Doberman Pinscher

Kalamazoo, MI
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Willow is a dog that we acquired from a family member. Willow was living with a homeless lady in a car with 3 other dogs when my family member took her in. We have an older dog and were hoping they would make a great pair. Our older dog is smaller and doesn't get along with Willow's puppy energy. Our older dog has actually declined in health because of our house guest. Willow is the sweetest dog and just wants to be around people. She is constantly seeking affection and looking for someone to play with or sit next to. She is quite the agility dog and can run for days. She can jump to impressive heights. She loves to cuddle and does really well with our children (6 months, 5 years, 15 years). She is fully house trained and spends time in her crate during the day without issues. She is easily trainable. We wanted to be able to keep her but she needs someone with more time to devote to her.

Story
Aurora!! A big ball of love and companionship. Loves walks, eating, sunbathing and cuddling. Very protective of those she loves, and unsure about other dogs on leashes or the other side of the fence. Has a problem with chewing. Very trainable, just needs help. Has a replaced ACL so she hobbles sometimes, a lot of exercise and stretching keeps her going!

Story
Looking to rehome this sweet boy. He is about 11 months old and fully vaccinated. Unsure of breed, definitely a mix of things. My plan was never to have Kody for along time, just fostering. I started falling in love with him and wanted to keep him so badly but being so busy and already having another dog and cat, it’s just not the right thing to do. He does well with other dogs and cats. Sometimes needs some supervision with cats and smaller dogs until they are comfortable with each other.
