We do our best to provide information that will help determine if the animal might be a good fit for you. Please note that behaviors may change in a home environment. We also ask our applicants to assume that any animal they adopt from us will need to be potty-trained and learn house manners, although this is not always the case. In most cases, the listed breeds are also a best guess. Our online animal bios are designed to provide as much information as possible and answer some anticipated questions. We do not have the resources to respond to emails with more specific questions.We are receiving an unusually high number of applications at this time! Applications are reviewed as they are received, but we do not select adopters on a first-come basis. Our job is to ensure each pet is placed into the best fit home for them and that adopters are paired with an animal that is a good fit for their lifestyle. All animals will stay online until they are “pending adoption”. Therefore, if an animal is still listed, we are still accepting applications for him/her! Please do not send inquiries about a specific animal's availability as this can change quickly over the course of the day. The fastest way to get a response is to simply submit an application! We will do our best to notify you by email if the pet(s) you are interested in are no longer available. New animals are posted daily, so please let us know if another furry friend peaks your interest (there is no need to fill out a second application)! Fill out the application (DOG:https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=dr1937&method=online_form_html&formid=44, CAT: https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=dr1937&method=online_form_html&formid=41, EXOTICS: https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=dr1937&method=online_form_html&formid=46) completely. Every question must be answered, and it must be signed.-Applicants must be 21+ years old and live within a 50-mile radius of our shelter at 22415 Groesbeck Hwy, Warren 48089.-You must identify at least 1 animal that you are interested in.Once your application is received, it will be assigned to one of our volunteer Adoption Counselors who will follow-up with the applicant who is the best fit within a few days, or to discuss other options. It could take up to a couple of weeks for you to receive a final disposition on your application so there is no need to check on the status.-Introductions will be scheduled by appointment only, 30 minutes per appointment. The entire household, including current dogs, must be present for the appointment. (Note: Please do not bring your dogs if you are meeting cats!). The introductions will take place outside in our parking lot (or in our cat room if you're meeting cats).-We will perform vet checks for current and prior pets in the household.-Finalizing the adoption will also be scheduled by appointment.Thank you for your understanding.

Story
Wow, Bugatti is a very nice (and big) dog! He weighs in at 91 pounds and is estimated to be about 2 years old. Bugatti is a gentle giant with a mellow temperament and a loving nature. He is well-mannered and attentive, constantly checking in with you. He has been described as a lover and a sweetheart. Bugatti already knows some basic commands too like "sit," "down," and "drop it." He also walks well on a leash, has a soft mouth for releasing toys, and always seems to be smiling. He's such an outgoing, awesome, loving dog who would make a great addition to almost any family. His adopter does need to have some experience and understand the importance of leadership for this extra-large breed. Any children in the home need to be at least 4 years old. Bugatti sure is wishing for a fur-ever home where he can feel loved and cared for. If there is another nice doggy sibling in the home, Bugatti would love to meet them. He has a soft, calm approach with other dogs and does nonstop playbows, too cute! He loves other dogs just as much as he loves people! If you are interested in Bugatti 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.*

Story
Meet Zero: The Husky Heartthrob Ready to Steal Your Heart! Introducing Zero, our 3.5-year-old Husky who’s sure to charm his way right into your heart! This playful and spirited boy embodies all the traits of his breed. Zero loves to play, go for walks, bask in the sun, and engage in playful roughhousing with his 4 doggy foster siblings. Zero would thrive in a home with a fenced-in yard and an active family who can keep up with his energetic lifestyle. Huskies are known for their intelligence and adventurous spirits, and Zero is no exception. He’s incredibly smart, knows multiple commands, and walks beautifully on a leash. However, it’s important to note that Huskies are notorious escape artists, and Zero is no different. His curiosity and zest for life mean he’ll need a secure environment and a family that understands or is committed to learning about the breed’s unique needs. If you’re familiar with Huskies or ready to dive into understanding their quirks, Zero could be the perfect fit for you! Adoption is $275, which includes spay/neuter at our vet, vaccines, dewormer, microchip, and clean bill of health. Although we work to potty train all of our dogs, we cannot guarantee full house training before adoption. Regression is a normal part of transitioning to a new home and we want our adopters to be prepared for that!

Story
Yoshi is a playful, loving, affectionate boy who can't wait to warm your heart and home! Yoshi loves playing with other dogs, loves playing tug with ropes, and loves stuffies with squeakers. Yoshi's true kryptonite, however, is belly rubs! he'll take as many belly rubs as you're willing to give him. Like many of his breed he is very relaxed around the house when given enough activities and stimulation like longs walks, and puzzle toys that stimulate his mind. Yoshi does well in the crate when home alone, he is extremely smart and has been learning basic commands with ease. He is highly motivated by food/treats when inside, but more motivated by affection/pets when outside. Yoshi can't wait to find a home to call his own where he can continue learning and flourishing into the wonderful young man he is. Adoption is $275, which includes spay/neuter at our vet, vaccines, dewormer, microchip, and clean bill of health. Although we work to potty train all of our dogs, we cannot guarantee full house training before adoption. Regression is a normal part of transitioning to a new home.
