Story

MEET PIPER: Hi there! I'm Piper! Let me tell you a little about myself. I’m a sweet, playful girl who’s about 2 years old. They think I’m a Doberman mix, maybe with a little German Shepherd—I like to think I got the best of both! I’ve had a bit of a rough start in life. I was adopted from a shelter once before as a puppy, but sadly, my first family abandoned me. I ended up alone, hungry, and very scared until some amazing humans from Detroit Pit Crew found me and saved my life. Now I’m safe and sound with Furever Tails Animal Rescue, getting ready to find my real forever home. I’ve been given a clean bill of health from the vet, but I’m still on a special journey to gain some weight. Right now I’m only about 55 pounds, but I should be closer to 60! So my foster family feeds me three times a day with slow, gentle meals to help me grow strong. I’m very good in my kennel when they’re away—no chewing or messes, I promise! Personality-wise? I’m a total goofball! I love playing with other dogs, and I’m absolutely obsessed with tennis balls. (Fair warning—I haven’t quite figured out the “fetch” part yet… I tend to keep the ball and invite you to chase me.) I’m tall and sometimes I forget my own size, so I might bump into you gently when I’m excited. I’d do best with kids who don’t mind a playful nudge now and then. I would love a fully fenced in yard or someone who is active and like to go for long walks. Tethering is not an option. I would not do well in an apartment, condo, or mobile home. I would thrive with a family who understands I am still an active, happy, outgoing, playful girl who requires a family or parent of the same lifestyle that matches my needs. What I’m really looking for is a family who will lovr me and promises to keep me forever—no giving up this time. I have so much love to give, and I know I’ll make some family incredibly lucky.

Story

Meet Claire Bear! Claire Bear is a beautiful 1.5-year-old, 83lb girl with a big heart to match her big size. Claire was originally adopted from a local shelter as a puppy but was recently returned a year later when her family decided they no longer wanted her. Understandably, she was very shut down and petrified in the shelter environment - but once she felt safe again, her true, sweet personality started to shine. Claire is a social and friendly girl who absolutely loves playing with other dogs that are tolerant of her size and enthusiastic energy. Because she can be a bit much for smaller dogs or seniors. Claire has lived with cats previously and done well. This happy girl enjoys romping around outside and would thrive in a home with a physically fenced yard or an active walking family. She has a good understanding of house manners and is crate trained - she was previously allowed her to free-range. Unfortunately, boredom led her to occasionally chew shoes, so she’ll benefit from structure, enrichment, and plenty of appropriate toys (which she loves!). Claire Bear adores spending time with her people, does well with dog-savvy children, and truly has all the makings of a wonderful family dog. She’s affectionate, playful, and just wants a family who will love her, guide her, and commit to her furever. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a playful spirit and a whole lot of love to give, Claire Bear might be your perfect match.

Story

We are looking to rehome our sweet 8-year-old dog. He is a loving and gentle companion who enjoys playing fetch and spending time being petted. He has a great personality and loves being around people. He is fully potty trained and does very well with kids. He’s affectionate and friendly, though he may take a little time to warm up at first. Once he gets to know you, he becomes very loving and loyal. He loves being close to his people and is happiest laying at your feet or right by your bed, just being near you. He also has a husky named Dakota, who he has been best friends with for many years. They play together and are very bonded. If someone is interested, we would love for them to go together, but it is not required. When he is adopted, we will include his food and water bowls. We also have a dog fence available if both dogs are adopted together. He has been a wonderful part of our family, but unfortunately, our schedules have changed and we no longer have the time to give him the

Story

Those beautiful, soulful brown eyes say it all! Princesa is estimated to be about 8 years old and weighs 68 pounds. Meet Princesa, a senior lady with the sweetest demeanor and a smile that will warm your heart! Unfortunately, she came to the rescue heartworm positive, but this brave girl powered through her treatment while staying her happy, loving self. Now Princesa is healthy and ready to start her new life with a family that will love her forever. She is a true princess, with the gentlest nature and so very connecting, she only wants to be close to you. She can be a little submissive and would thrive with a confident leader who has shepherd experience, someone she can rely on and help her feel safe and supported. Princesa is very engaged with you and just craving affection and reassurance. She already knows sit, has a solid recall and as you can see from her pictures, is the perfect model! Princesa deserves a soft place to land with a family who will cherish her, where she can be the center of attention and showered with all the love and care she deserves. She would prefer a quieter, more predictable type home to match her personality and where any children are at least 8 years old. We really hate seeing seniors in the kennel, this sweet muffin is ready for love and a home. Princessa would love it if you came to meet her. If you are interested in Princesa and are at least 21 years old, please come to our kennel during business hours, make an appointment, or fill out an application at k9stray.com and an adoption counselor will be in touch. We look forward to helping you find your new best friend! *Please check your lease agreements for breed/weight restrictions prior to applying. We also do not do cat testing, so we do not know how a dog will do with cats. Not all dogs are available to go home on the same day you first meet.*
