Story
Olaf, the chocolate Chihuahua, is about 4.5 years old and looking for the perfect, quiet home with someone who is familiar with anxious and fearfully reactive dogs. He would do best in a home with no children, and not a lot of visitors. Cats are a no go for Olaf as are most other dogs. He would be ok with one small, submissive, low-key doggie friend as he likes to play occasionally, but he isn't very good at normal dog play. We lovingly think of Olaf's personality as a cat trapped in a dog's body. Olaf takes a daily anxiety medication to help him feel safe in his everyday environment. Olaf will need an understanding and patient person that will allow him space and decompression time when he gets overstimulated. Olaf is crate trained and for the most part potty trained. However, like any small dog he isn’t a fan of going outside in the rain or cold. He walks wonderfully on leash as long as no off leash dogs approach him, and he also loves to travel in the car. He does like affection on his own terms and will let you know when he no longer wants attention. Olaf's perfect home will need to be willing to give him time and show him patience as he is settling in to your lifestyle, they must also be willing to continue working on training to ensure he lives a happy and safe life. Most importantly Olaf will need a person that is NOT expecting a snuggly lap dog. While he will occasionally snuggle and sit on your lap, it will only happen when he chooses it. His perfect person would be looking for a tiny, quirky shadow that is content with his mere presence as companionship. Olaf is spay/neutered, microchipped, current on vaccines, heartworm tested and on prevention. Adoption fee for Olaf is $350. If you are interested in adopting Olaf, please fill out an adoption application http://www.furgetusnotrescue.org/application.html .

Daisy

Mixed Breed (Small) Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)

Female, Adult
Shelby Township, MI
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Daisy is about 4-5 years old and about 20 pounds. She has been in a foster home for a year learning force free training, meeting new people, and going to new places. She likes having her own space that will fit her sleeping bag dog bed and is quieter. She will run there during storms and fireworks or when feeling stressed by neighbors in their yards. A fully fenced yard is recommended. She needs patience in new places, loves her trainer, and is enjoying scent games. If you live near Royal Oak, we will share information to make her transition to your family go smoothly. Daisy likes sleeping in the bedroom with her people. Sometimes on the bed, sometimes under the bed, and sometimes in a crate in the room. Daisy lives for walkies, but will run zoomies in her fenced yard at her foster home. Daisy knows some commands and works for treats in amusing ways. Chasing squirrels and chipmunks can be fun, but do not keep her attention if lawn crews, builders, or delivery trucks are in the area. Daisy is a great dog and will bring joy to those who are willing to help her feel safe. Daisy does not do well with small critters or cats. Daisy is spay/neutered, microchipped, current on vaccines, heartworm tested and on prevention. Adoption fee for Daisy is $350. If you are interested in adopting Daisy, please fill out an adoption application http://www.furgetusnotrescue.org/application.html .

Hi, my name is Rayna. I'm available at HSOM. I am spayed, up to date with shots and microchipped. I can be picky with my doggie friends, so I would like to meet yours before coming home! Cats are not my jam, so I would thrive in a home without them! I just have one condition... its that we play fetch every day! I love tennis balls, and meeting people as well. It's really exciting and one of my favorite things to do. Come check me out!!!Thank you for showing an interest in our pets. We can never guarantee the breeds of the animals. We do not DNA test.
