Story
We got Clover from a breeder when she was 8 weeks old. She is almost 4 years old. She has always been the sweetest dog, but she is a bit high maintenance. It breaks our hearts to rehome her but we have a toddler and a baby on the way and are not able to give her the attention and care she needs. Clover has anxiety and has been having stomach issues. It seems to be IBS…she was doing well on an expensive food, but when we tried to switch her back to her original food she has issues again. Clover needs a loving home where she can get one on one attention. A lot of chaos and noise makes her anxious. She needs someone who will let her sleep in bed with them and cuddle on the couch. Someone who can give her regular walks and figure out which specialized diet she needs. Going in the car and new places makes her nervous. She needs a consistent routine and someone who can spend a lot of time with her. We love her so much and want to find her the perfect home.

Story
Bindi Adelaide is a purebred Miniature American Shepherd (Mini Aussie). We got her as a puppy from a breeder in Plant City, Florida. She turns 3 years old in January and is 37 lbs. Bindi is super smart and learns fast. She knows sit, down, stay, roll over, shake, other paw, orbit, turn (in a circle), speak, quiet, settle, go to "place" (her kennel), go to spot (when eating), jump, beg, up, off, heel (working on it), upstairs, downstairs, and come. We have been working with her to walk on our treadmill, which she can do with food but not solo yet. Being a herder, she loves to follow you everywhere. She is a great cuddler and loves pets and belly rubs. Bindi has had two rounds of puppy training, two rounds of in-home training, and one round of group training. This has helped her reactivity. Bindi needs an owner that has experience with resources guarding. She would do well in a home without young children or other pets. She would thrive in the country and/or in a big fenced-in yard.

Story
Is this dog good with kids? It's crucial that children are taught to respect dogs and understand a dog's body language. Is this dog house trained? Expect to house train a newly adopted dog. Some dogs will pick it up faster than others. Successful house training largely depends on patience and consistent encouragement. Most of the dogs that end up in shelters are mixed breeds that can have 2 to 10 different breeds in their DNA. The breed listed is only the best guess of the shelter volunteers. If interested in meeting any of our cats or dogs, stop in to meet them during our open hours. For location and hours, see our website at https://wacshelter.com To apply to adopt online go to https://wacshelter.com/adopt-a-dog/ ALL ANIMALS LISTED AS ADOPTABLE ARE AVAILABLE TO BE ADOPTED. *ADOPTION FEE: $95 (cash only) includes spay/neuter, distemper vaccine, heartworm test, and rabies vaccine.

Story
Tank was rescued when his previous owner was unable to provide a safe life for him. That was a lucky break for Tank. The shelter had him heartworm tested while he was neutered and discovered he is suffering from heartworm disease due to being denied routine prevention. Tank will now require a several month long treatment once it's determined he is healthy enough to undergo the injections. Thankfully, Pound Pals Downriver has stepped up to help this young dog get his health back. He's an energetic and playful 3 year old pup who seems to do well with other dogs. Be sure to check out our Facebook page at Wyandotte Animal Shelter (https://www.facebook.com/wacshelter/) for day to day updates on our cats and dogs. :) Thank you for your interest in adopting! If you think the animal in this profile might be a good fit for your home and would like to meet them, here's how! !. Go to our website at wacshelter.com. 2. Click on the Apply To Adopt button to submit an online adoption application. NOTE: You will get an email confirmation that we have received your application. If you do not see this email appear upon submission, please check your "spam" folder. 3. Your application will be processed and a volunteer will call or email with any questions. NOTE: If any questions are left unanswered or incomplete, the application cannot be processed. A completely filled out application will take 1-3 days to process! 4. We will set up a time with you to meet the animal you've applied to adopt! ** We DO give preference to applicants with verifiable dog experience as a primary caretaker. All dogs are spayed/neutered, heartworm negative unless otherwise indicated. All are up to date on age appropriate vaccinations and current on heartworm prevention! Additional questions... Does this dog get along with cats? There is almost always an acclimation period when a new pet joins the household. We are happy to suggest a few ways to ease the transition. If one of our dogs is reported to have lived with cats previously, that will be indicated in the dog's description! Does this dog react well to other dogs? No dog loves every other dog, just as humans do not like every other human they meet. A proper introduction (meet and greet) would be required as part of our application process. Is this dog good with children? The better question is how the children have been taught to handle animals. A dog will respond negatively if he/she is not being handled properly. We can offer suggestions on how to teach children to interact with dogs and pay attention to body language. Young children should never be left unsupervised with new dogs. How did this dog end up in a shelter? The top reasons dogs are given up are: Moving without considering the needs of the pets Death of the owner with no plan in place for the pets Previous owner did not provide appropriate training Owner did not consider the lifespan of a dog Owner did not consider the cost of providing for a dog
