Story
We adopted Cooper from an animal rescue when he was a puppy. He came all the over from Texas! He is such a sweet boy he loves to run around the backyard and sunbathe. He is easily excitable but also loves to relax and snuggle with you. We unfortunately have to rehome him due to his aggression towards our young daughter. He has bitten her once before and he snarls at her if she gets too close to him. We have had pet sitters watch him when we are gone and he does well with older children or teenagers. He needs to be in a home where there is no small children. He gets along with our other dog but he does not like groups of dogs such as a doggie daycare. He has food aggression towards other dogs. He has not shown aggression towards cats but he gets fixated on them and chases them. He would likely do better in a house without other animals. He also has hypothyroidism so he will need to be on thyroid medication for the rest of his life.

Story
Talullah was found on the side of the road digging for trash for her and her baby puppies. Rebel Dog Detroit rescue found them.Talullah LED them to her puppies to help save them. RDD took them in. Her puppies found their forever home, but now it is Talullah's turn. After finding RDD online, we knew we needed to help out. My boyfriend and I are fostering this mama and quickly realizing that she needs a little bit more attentiveness than we can provide. Upon finding her, she had a double ear infection. Also, since having her, she seems to have allergies. We plan on getting her to a vet to take care of the infection. The week after that she's getting spayed! Despite the incontrollable, she's a very loving dog! Never leaves your side. Knows commands and always wants to show you her belly! Feeding time is not a problem. We have plenty of neighbor dogs around the fences and says hi and moves on! She deserves a home where she gets the most attention and love she deserves.

Story
Hi I was born on 11/25/2018. I am a mature girl but still like to play. I am very potty trained and love my crate. I am not great with cats and would need proper introductions if you have another dog. I love children. I am doing well with the other foster dogs in my foster home but it took some work. Did I mention I am going through formal training just to recap some things I may have forgotten along the way. My trainer thinks I am a good girl and I listen well.
