Story
Papi is a 6-month-old large breed puppy with striking white fur and beautiful grey spots, along with his gorgeous grey eyes that will melt your heart. While we’re not exactly sure of his breed—he may have some Great Dane or American Bulldog in him—what we do know for sure is that he’s an absolute gem.
When Papi first arrived with us, he was a little shy and unsure of the world. But it didn’t take long for him to come out of his shell, and now he’s the sweetest, most loving boy around. Papi absolutely adores people and gets along with everyone he meets! He’s made huge progress in his foster home, learning to walk confidently on a leash (something he was once scared of) and becoming crate trained. While his potty training is still a work in progress, he’s doing great with minimal accidents.
Papi currently lives in a Foster Home with two other dogs and cats, and he's absolutely thriving in a social environment. He has a best friend here at the shelter named Arnold, and the two of them love to run and play together. Papi has a great sense of humor, and his playful antics always keep everyone entertained. Whether it's chasing after his toys, rolling around in the grass, or practicing his "puppy zoomies," he’s always up for fun!
When it comes to training, Papi responds well to positive reinforcement, and a simple whistle is a great way to redirect him when needed. He’s very receptive to guidance and is eager to please.
At night, Papi is a dream—he sleeps soundly on the couch with no accidents and doesn’t get into anything he’s not supposed to. His calm, well-mannered nature makes him easy to live with, and he enjoys winding down after a day of play.
Papi is also fantastic with cats, showing nothing but gentleness and curiosity. He loves car rides and is an excellent travel companion, behaving wonderfully on the road.
If you’re looking for a well-rounded, handsome, and affectionate large pup to add to your family, Papi might just be the perfect fit!

If you would like to meet Papi, please submit an application for him on our website https://www.friendsofmichigan.org/adoptable-dogs. Since he is a large breed puppy it is best to delay his neuter until he is closer to his full size. This will help ensure proper bone structure and joint development. More details on this can be discussed during the meet and greet. Papi does have a vet appoint on Monday the 23rd of this month to receive his microchip, vaccinations, and heartworm test. He has been on monthly flea and tick prevention. His adoption fee is $300, which helps cover the cost of the medical care he has and will receive.
**Each dog is different, so each adoption is different. Our adoption process might require multiple visits to the shelter before our dogs can go home. Or they may be ready on the first visit. It really depends on the individual dog and the potential adopters. Once we receive your application, the Dog Staff will contact you to discuss meeting our dogs.
