Story

Pepper is my grand puppy. My daughter has a baby in Arizona and Pepper did not take to him. Fear of her hurting the baby we had Pepper brought to Michigan thinking our 14 acres would be great for her. She loved the space to run and play. We also have other animals and Pepper did not take to them. She also does not do well with children. She currently is staying with a friend who will be back traveling soon for years. She does well with him and is full of love when I visit. She's very protective of him and I. He has been training her extensively and she is doing well, but as said he has to go on the road for work. We love her too no end and don't want to put her down she just needs love and patience and constant training which we are unable to provide. Please if there is anyone who does not have other animals or small children Pepper will love you and protect you. Our hearts are breaking but we are out of options.

Astro

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Young

Dowagiac, MI

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained,

Story

Astro is a good dog. I dont think he's ever actually bitten anyone, though he likes to knaw on your hand a bit of you play with his face, in the same way that dogs will knaw on eachother. He is the last of a litter that we couldn't find a home for. He's just kind of floating around I suppose, because he was born, and guilt has kept up from taking him to a pound. I found this website and maybe someone will give him a home and love him. He doesn't even really bark much, not to an extent that would be problematic. He does like to play with other dogs too, and we have 5 children that he plays with well. He is quite socialized and not really a problem at all beyond that we have 2 full grown other dogs as well, and it takes a good amount of thought to care for them all as well as maintaining life each day.

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,

Story

I had my pet Nakiyah since she was a month old. Long story short, my former best friend had chosen her for herself and when I came to live with her, we ultimately figured that she would be my new home, new state, new life puppy. The year has gone by so fast and so did Nakiyahs growth. And during that year my former best friend and I have sadly has moved apart leaving me basically without a true permanent home. I've tried to keep her but along with our new situation, my stress has gone up significantly and I am always upset at her. I don't like how I'm not able to take care of her properly. I love her so much and it's hurting me to know I have to let her go. But I really need to focus on me and make sure that she has the best life she deserves to live. I'm only looking for serious persons. I was going to make this temporary, but I think I'm gonna go back home to California. Please contact me for meet and greets and more information. Thank you.

Size

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

This is Willow, I have had to face reality, I am no longer able to provide the proper care for her. She needs a big yard or fenced in yard that she can be out whenever she pleases. She loves to be outside no matter the weather. She has to be out. She is a Belgium Malinois Husky Mix. She is going to be 4. She is UTD on Shots, she had her 3yr shots in Januaryshe is spayed, potty trained and is chipped and pretty decent about manners. She is full of personality dramatic rambunctious and a great cuddler. She gets along well with Cats Dogs and all feral children. She loves dog parks camping, car rides, exploring, beaches... you name it. I would suggest a home with older children as she is hyperactive and jumpy especially when she's excited. (Her Breed) She doesn't do the best on the leash as she's always been kind of a free roamer but knows to stay close and in sight. She listens to silent commands and will ring the bell to let you know she wants out- She is kennel trained Vet Ref Req.
