We found him at the River Rouge Shelter waiting for his second chance. Approximate age / Weight: 3 years old and 85 lbs. Personality: Cobi is just a big lug who wants to be near his humans. He enjoys a good snuggle and nap as much as he likes some sunny patio time. Cobi thrives on routine and adapted to living in his foster home easily. Cobi needs space and patience when introduced to new folks, particularly men. He just needs to know that a guy is trustworthy. He absolutely adores his foster dad. Cobi is up for car rides and doesn’t mind trips to the vet. Loves treats and is learning the basics in foster care. Doesn't pull on leash but zig-zags a bit to get to sniffs. New Home: Cobi could fit into many home situations. He really just wants someone to love.

Story
Good With Kids: Did well with kids he's met. Suggest older kids. Good With Other Dogs: Yes, not a big fan of high energy dogs Good With Cats: Unknown. Uninterested in squirrels so might like cats. Housetrained: Yes Crate Trained: Yes Walks Nicely On A Leash: Yes when wearing harness. Knows Basic Commands: Mostly Energy Level (Couch Potato, Moderate or High): Moderate Special Needs: Ear cleansing to avoid infections. Current getting every other week nail trims to shorten the quicks to obtain better standard nail length. Physical Fence: Ideal but would likely do well on tie-out or walks. Favorite Activity: Nap on the couch with favorite blanket and neck rubs. Arrival story: Junior was found on the streets of Detroit by a good Samaritan who provided a safe place and vet care prior to arriving at Waggin' Tails. Approximate age / Weight: 8ish yrs old and 55 lbs. Personality: Junior is super sweet, loving and is just happy to be by your side. He loves destroying stuffed toys, chewing on Benebones, and noshin' on stuffed Kongs or lick mats. Our boy is super super food motivated and his tail rarely stops wagging. He enjoys a romp in the yard, a walk around the block, a car ride, and most of all a nap on the couch with his favorite blanket. He’ll curl up next to you and loves tushy and neck rubs best. Junior is house trained and crate trained, is content being on his own for periods of time, is a champ at the vet, and is getting better at his routine ear washes and nail trims – he never hated them, just doesn’t want to sit still for them. Nicknames: Junie, June Bug, Uncle June, the list could go on. You call, he comes. Smart boy is learning the basic queues (like sit) and has excellent recall, doing well keeping eyes on his handler in one-on-one training class, not barking at other dogs on leash. Junior takes treats quickly so little kids may not be best match to live day-to-day but he's met younger kids and been great with them. Forever Home: Junior is filled with tons of love to give his next family and will quickly become your best bud! While pretty low maintenance and not really up for big adventures he sure does enjoy a car ride and walks and would love nothing more than to be your partner in crime!

Story
Good With Kids: Ages 12 and up Good With Other Dogs: Dog selective but good at doggie daycare Good With Cats: No Housetrained: Yes Crate Trained: Yes House Manners: Good Walks Nicely On A Leash: Workin’ on it Knows Basic Commands: Yes Energy Level (Couch Potato, Moderate or High): Go, Go, Go Special Needs: Physical Fence: Yes Nickname: Butt Butt, Butter Bear, Little Miss when I'm getting into trouble Favorite game: Fetch (though I'm still working on nicely giving the toy back), I am obsessed with my big Jolly ball. Arrival story: I was lucky to be sprung from a crowded shelter. Approximate age / Weight: 1 year old and 35 lbs. HELLO! My name is Butters though my foster mom loves to call me Butt Butt. Do you want to play fetch? I love to show off by running around outside, chasing toys but then come inside for cuddle time and watch TV. Do you like paw patrol? I do! My foster mom taught me how to sit, shake, come when called, learning the Find-it game, and we are working to redirect my enthusiasm when greeting new people or trying to get their attention I LOVE meeting new people! I’m affectionate from the get-go. I’m so smart, too! Treat motivated, and I take those treats gently, curious, and want to learn new things. I’m good at the vet’s office, being handled, and on car rides. Though I should be safely secured so I don’t try to take the wheel. While I live in a foster home with two other dogs, I would prefer to have humans all to myself. Some dogs don't like my enthusiasm. I am a good girl and respectfully play with my dog friends at doggie daycare, though. Forever Home: I’m a wee pocket pitty just lookin’ for a person/couple that wants a bestie to have fun and cuddles with. I’d like to be able to sleep in bed with you as I love curling right up against my people to sleep. I’m moving into my teenage phase so I do need guidance and additional training to help me become the amazing companion I’m meant to be. I’ve got so much love to give to humans who adopt me.

*Pit/Lab Mix* Cookie is a sweet family dog, loves to play and cuddle! Our 4 kids love her dearly (ages 4 to 15). Unfortunately as time progressed, we found our 9 year old has a strong allergy to her.

Story
This is Arbie! Arbie's owner is so sad to see this sweet boy go. Due to life changes, the owner is looking for a new loving home for him. Arbie is one happy boy! He loves to meet new people, and enjoys cuddles & snuggles! He is very friendly with others, & also has some experience around younger children, but would do best in a home with older/no children. He loves/needs activity! He helped his previous owner train for a 10K! He is house trained, neutered, chipped, up-to-date on all vaccinations, & knows some basic tricks Arbie does have dog friends but he prefers humans! Has never been with a cat. He'd do best as the single pet in the family. How Arbie behaves with other dogs depends on the situation. He has been boarded w/ other dogs and has been to dog parks without issue, but is still learning how to behave when dogs run up to him at, especially at his home. Please help us find a new home for this adorable, loveable guy!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.If interested in any of our animals for adoption, or to foster an animal, please fill out the respective application here to get the process started. Visit our FAQ webpage for commonly asked questions about our adoption/foster process. My name is Fairing and I’m looking for my forever home and a new best friend. I love to cuddle and hang out with my peeps. I know I look big in my pictures but I'm really smaller than I look. I’m hoping my new best friend works from home so I can hog all their attention, I really don’t like being alone, but if not that’s ok too. I just want to be your one and only and follow you wherever you go. I love to ride in the car, play with my squeaky toys and explore outside. My foster mom says I’m such a good girl because I don’t beg for food. I’m not a fan of the crate so if you use one, I won’t be a good fit. I’m pretty smart and know how to sit, lay down, stay and come when asked. I need to be the only dog in the house because dogs scare me. Back in April of 2022 I was diagnosed with an FCE which occurs when disc material becomes stuck in the spinal artery, causing an ischemic event or stroke. This has caused some lameness in my hind right leg but I promise you this doesn’t really slow me down much. Sometimes when I’m feeling lazy, I will drag my foot a little but most of the time I walk and run using it just fine (please watch videos on my page). I can’t do more than a few steps at a time unless someone helps me out. I have a fancy sling and harness just in case I need it.  A home with kids is ok as long as they are old enough to respect my needs. Please check our event page for my attendance, I know you will love me once we meet.  If you are interested in meeting, fostering or adopting me, please fill out an online application. Fairing is available to foster, foster to adopt or adoption. Questions to cbrookszy@yahoo.com Click here to watch a video of Fairing - Sr Litter.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Last Day Dog Rescue now microchips all animals before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the animals shoulder blades and are a permanent form of identification. The microchips are registered to Last Day Dog Rescue with the adopter's info added once adopted. If the animal is ever lost and slips his/her collar/tags the microchip allows the finder to know who to contact if scanned for a microchip. Animals MUST still have a collar with tags on at all times. Per our contract, we take all our animals back if for any reason you can't keep your adopted animal. Please understand the statements about this animal are based upon the foster home's evaluation of the animal. The animal might behave differently (negatively or positively) in your home. While the animal might be good with the current foster’s dogs, cats, children, etc., it may not be with your animal(s) or children. The animal may be housebroken or litter trained in the home of the foster but may relapse in your home. The animal is represented to the public as it performs in the foster home and any statements made regarding the animal are conditional to that foster home setting. Please understand that statements made regarding this animal are simply overviews and are not guaranteed. The Petfinder.com system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our animals. Visual breed identification in animals is unreliable so for most of the animals we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each animal as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our animals based on personality, not by breed label. Thank you for looking through our list of animals needing forever homes and choosing rescue first. We appreciate you stopping by. November 4, 2024, 7:53 am
