Story
Cinder is an almost 5-year-old blue merle Australian. Cinder can be best described as an attention hog. This dog LOVES people, adults primarily, and loves “hard.” No need for a weighted blanket, he will be yours and never want to leave. Cinder is also an attention hog. He must be the center of attention, always a part of the action. Cinder becomes an immovable object when he finds his comfy spot, and the “Moose” refuses to move until encouraged. Cinder is like any other high energy Aussie. He enjoys being outside, whether is be in a big yard or near a walking trail. Also, like any Aussie, he has his herding instincts. He treats small children as sheep and is not overly fond of being smothered by them. Has been fine with older kids. He likes chasing away cats, but will gladly welcome visitors to the house. All we ask is for Cinder to have a home that can give him the love and attention he needs, loves, and deserves.

Jasmine

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Jasmine joined our family about 18 months ago at an adoption event (she’s 2years old now), She’s been a great addition to the family, but unfortunately her and our other dog who is here before Jasmine have started not getting along. Jasmine is a good dog, house trained, crate trained, very smart, and loves our four younger kids, but she isn’t perfect. She’s excitable and always needs to be involved in whatever action is going on. She’s also rather anxious, especially around new people, and vet visits require a dose of anxiety meds ahead of time. For new people at our home we have a practice of usually putting her away for a few minutes whenever somebody comes to make sure she’s comfortable. Early on, there had been times where she had growled or nipped at new people that have entered our home or walked on our property, but we haven’t seen that since our new routine. She’s a very sweet and special girl and deserves a loving home.

Finn

Border Collie

Male, Adult
Grand Rapids, MI
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Finn is a 5 year old fun, loving, and energetic dog who makes a great walking partner with his gentle leader collar on and who also absolutely loves to cuddle and be lazy around the house. Finn knows all the basic tricks plus a few other fun ones (including nuzzling his nose under your chin to “hug”) . He is not crate trained, but is house trained. He would do best in a home without young kids and multiple other animals, since he’s a herding dog it seems to overwhelm him. He needs a home where he’s able to get all of his energy out with a fenced yard and with someone who has the time to give him the attention he deserves. He would do well in a home with kids ages 5 and up and most likely he’d do okay with a cat, he did fine with our two cats before tiny screaming kids joined our household. We’re heartbroken that our home isn’t a good fit for him anymore. If you’re looking for your next best friend in a dog, Finn is your guy!
