Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.PLEASE READ ENTIRE BIO BEFORE SUBMITTING AN ADOPTION APPLICATION Meet Gibb!  This sweet pup was abandoned and left alone in the home when the family moved out.  When he came into our care, his fur was dirty and matted, stained with urine and feces, he had fleas and was malnourished  The mats so bad on his feet, the groomer needed a scalpel blade to cut them out.  Afterwards she saw how inflamed and swollen his feet were!  Despite everything Gibb has endured, he has shown no aggression!  As a matter of fact, he was giving his foster mom little kisses the same day he arrived at her home.  Gibb seems to have a gentle spirit.  He is submissive, but insecure and lacks confidence and stays close only to those he trusts.  He takes time to warm up to new people and new environments. He is easily startled, which seems to indicate he may have been living in a chaotic environment.  Gibb does have separation anxiety, which over time in a stable environment may resolve itself, but it will take time.  Because of this, he isn't a good candidate for an apartment.  Also, his adoptive family must not coddle him or treat him like a baby, as this will only reinforce separation anxiety.  We also don't recommend placement in a home with children because of his skittish behavior.   Gibb is potty trained and keeps his crate clean.  In a new environment he may mark or have potty accidents until acclimated to the routine and environment.  He is very comfortable in a crate, sleeps in it all night and willingly goes in it to rest during the day.  When happy, he has a cute behavior of grabbing a toy and bringing it to you, then taking it to his bed like a cuddle buddy. He is reportedly good with other dogs his own size.  He plays well with his foster mom's Bichon. We don't know how Gibb is with cats. Gibb was at the vet for an exam and vaccines.  The vet estimated his age at about 3 years old.  No health issues were noted.  Gibb is UTD on vaccines, microchipped and neutered.   Please do not apply unless you have the love and patience to allow Gibb to progress at his own pace.     Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue microchips all dogs and cats before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the shoulder blades and are another form of identification should the animal get lost. The microchips are registered to    Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue. The adopter's information is added once the adoption is complete. The adopter is responsible for a $19.99/Year registration fee or a $45.00/Lifetime registration fee to change information.    Dogs and Cats still need to have collar with tags should they get lost.

Story
Madonna is a petite 10-11 lb Maltese with a gentle heart and a playful spirit. She's searching for a patient, loving family to help her grow into her confident, affectionate self! Here's what makes Madonna special: She gets along well with other dogs, cats, and kids! While she's still learning to show her affection, she's made incredible progress. When Madonna first arrived a month ago, she was very shy. Now, she's curious and giving adorable little "boops, though she's still learning to enjoy being petted. Madonna loves to play and explore! Plushy squeaky toys are her favorite. She's improving with potty training but sometimes gets too excited outside to focus. Needs work on leash walking and learning commands, but she has good basic manners. Outgoing and lively at adoption events, though still cautious about touch. She does well when enclosed during the day, as long as the crate door is open. Madonna is looking for a family that will give her the time, patience, and love she needs to feel secure and continue opening up. Could that be you?

Story
Oh, what a sweet soul Ozzie is. He is estimated to be about 8 years old and weighs 16 pounds. Ozzy loves to follow you around, he sure wouldn't want to miss anything! It does take him a little time to trust though and warm up to you, he is quite scared in this kennel environment. This darling little guy was very matted and had to be shaved down, the poor muffin has some sores on his skin from it, but still just does his happy trot looking for some pets. We sure hate to see seniors here at the rescue, hopefully his forever family will scoop him up quickly. Ozzy would probably prefer a quieter more predicable type of home with older children, due to his shy, scared nature. If you are interested in Ozzie 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.*

These pups are in Ypsilanti, Michigan too!

Story
Halo has led a very sheltered life of late but he's about as perfect dog as anyone can hope for. He's 3.5 years old. We've had him for a few months now and we've learned a ton about his personality and he's about as perfect a dog as anyone can hope to find in this life.. He is VERY smart. He loves people, primarily women, he is fine around other dogs and cats. He reacts to people in a friendly way but needs to go slow in meeting them at first. If someone has an issue with dogs and behaves weird around him, he doesn't understand that so he will bark at them, but once he is properly introduced, he will love on them. He needs a loving home with a woman in it that will be his person. A person that is going to have the time and energy to focus on him, spoiling him and having a great amount of exercise daily. He's active, he's busy, but he does calm down and snuggle after play time. Very sweet with kids, he's best with kids that are ages 8 and older, but he has been around younger kids and he's not a fan of long term exposure to them, he will look for an adult to cling to. This is what we are looking for, for him. Smoke free house with a big fenced yard. An active person who has the need for a bestie and is pretty social and active. Someone who is either a couple or works from home. He is going to need a home where his person works from home or has a business they can take him along. No apartments or manufactured home neighborhoods will be considered. He was in a crate ten hours a day and we are not going back to him being in a crate. He does heavily attach to his people. He's even made besties with a horse he's fostered with and he loves her. He's very well behaved and a great rider in the car. He LOVES going for rides and rides great in the car. Older kids are perfect for him. No kids is even more perfect for him. He likes certain other dogs. he's fine around cats. He's 19 pounds and cute as a button. He is house trained and tells you when he needs to go out. Very happy pup. He is not big on barking but he does and he will let you know when someone is approaching. Pretty great guard dog. So to recap: News house with good size fenced yard Loves car rides Great with cats, dogs, kids but doesn't want to live with kids full time Non smoking home Loves women way more than men Needs his person to be home or working from home Needs a lot of exercise often Likes play dates with other dogs, if living with another dog, that dog needs to let him be the spoiled one without cutting in front to steal the attention For more information call or text me at 517 294 4514 or send me your phone number to marlas2468@yahoo.com if you'd like information or a response.
