Story
Akira, she is a 2 year old spayed female American Akita (around 95 lb) looking for a new home. She is a beautiful and wonderful dog that gets along well with other dogs; lives with two male boxers currently. She has very good manors, is a very quick learner, and easily trained with treats. Walks very well with both of my other dogs / does not pull at all on leash. Absolutely loves the winter and any activity in the snow. Does well with grooming, allows nails to be ground and enjoys being brushed. She loves car rides and going places like parks or to the pet store. Ideally, she should be with an owner who is also very active and/or has large fenced yard for exercise. Looking for adopter with experience with Akita or other active working breed dogs.

Story
Meet Harbor — A Gentle Soul Ready to Drop Anchor in Your HeartHarbor is a handsome senior gentleman, estimated to be 7 years old or older, with the look of a unique Akita mix and the most stunning brown and copper coloring throughout his coat. He’s the kind of dog who turns heads with his beauty, but it’s his gentle spirit that truly leaves a lasting impression.After coming to us as a stray, Harbor has shown just how happy he is to be back with people. He clearly enjoys human company and soaks up kindness with quiet gratitude, proving himself to be an incredibly sweet and easygoing boy. There’s a calm, steady presence about him that makes being around him feel comforting and peaceful.We believe Harbor is nearly, if not completely, deaf — but it hasn’t slowed him down one bit. He navigates the world confidently and responds well to visual cues and gentle guidance. What he may lack in hearing, he more than makes up for in heart.Harbor would thrive in a loving home that understands the needs of a senior dog and is ready to offer him patience, consistency, and affection. In return, he’ll give you loyalty, companionship, and the kind of love that only a seasoned soul can offer.If you’re looking for a sweet, soulful companion who’s ready to settle in and enjoy the quieter side of life, Harbor may be the perfect dog to walk alongside you. Come meet him — he’s ready to find his forever harbor.If you would like to meet Harbor, please submit an application for him on our website https://www.friendsofmichigan.org/adoptable-dogs. He is neutered, up to date on all age appropriate vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, and on monthly flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. His adoption fee is $275, which helps cover the cost of the medical care he has received.**Please note that the breed listed for each of our dogs is a rough estimate unless DNA results are provided in their Bio. All strays have rough estimates of their age based on the condition of their teeth.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.

Story
*Located in Mid Michigan* 12-6-25 still available We have a female dog named Frankie that we have been given from my daughters co-worker who became homeless last weekend. Rather then allow her to be let loose to the streets we brought her here with the hopes of finding a rescue or shelter to take her to, but have had no amount of luck with placement. Everyone we contact is full. I already own two dogs myself and am not looking to take on a third. She was fixed and is now up to date on shots, and micro-chipped. Good with other dogs after meeting period is over, seems ok with cats. Is pretty timid at first but with the right love and care will be an excellent dog. **willing to negotiate adoption fee for the right home** *willing to travel a bit* EDIT: seems to be food and bone/toy aggressive at times. But this seems like a vocalization quirk, we are working on her not growling. Will need experienced handler to help train. We are doing our best to help mitigate the triggers.
