Zora

Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 6 yrs

Osseo, MI

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained,

Story

Meet Zora! Zora came to us from a cruelty/neglect situation, and she was emaciated and in rough shape when she came in. That did not keep her from being a normal sweet pittie who loves to sit directly in your lap and give kisses, and get booty scratches. Zora has learned about toys since getting to our shelter, and seems to like playing with tennis balls the best. Zora is always happy to see people, and even though she had a rough start in life, she is always sweet and gets along with everyone, including kids, dogs, and cats. Since she has been here we have gotten her to a healthy weight and she's ready to start her new life in a forever home! Zora is spayed, microchipped, up to date on her vaccinations, and tested negative for heartworm. Apply for Zora here: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/signup/664c2ea080ba55b07a0e6299

Sid

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 3 yrs 2 mos

Osseo, MI

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Sid, the 3-year-old Boxer/Great Dane mix! Sid came into the shelter after his owner unfortunately lost her battle with Cancer. When he first came in, he was terrified, and was slow to trust our staff. However, we learned quickly that he LOVES to play with tennis balls! He also loves to play tug-of-war with a rope. Sid is very sweet once he gets to know you. He walks nicely on a leash, and he’s VERY potty trained. He does NOT make messes in his kennel. He has a huge bark that matches his huge personality, and he enjoys scaring the kennel attendants by waiting until they are almost past his kennel and THEN barking! Sid is going to be a great dog for someone. He is dog selective, so if you already have a dog we would require a meet & greet. We do think he’d do well with a calmer, female dog. We do not know how he will do with cats. Sid is neutered, microchipped, up to date on his vaccinations, and tested negative for heartworms.

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Behold Alazay! The furry giant, part mastiff, part bulldog, and all-around massive! Don't let his size fool you, he's a total cuddle bug! He absolutely LOVES kids of all sizes! He's a senior pup, but boy, does he love a good soak in the bath! You'll find him chewing away at rope toys and begging for butt scratches, but his favorite pastime is getting belly rubs. Attention is his thing, and he's not afraid to ask for it. Good for this guy as he needs to be the only pet in the home- more attention for him! He's all about playing and frolicking around, but watch out for his obsession with tennis balls – it's kind of his Achilles heel! A gentle giant, he's the perfect cuddle buddy for your lazy days. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and heartworm negative. Application: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/signup/664c2ea080ba55b07a0e6299

Duke

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 7 yrs

Osseo, MI

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Duke! Duke came to us originally from another shelter in 2021, and was adopted. Then, in 2023 he was returned through no fault of his own. He’s been in here ever since. He’s now almost 7 years old and has spent most of his years in shelters. He does not get along with other animals, which has really diminished his prospects of getting a forever home. Duke is a goofball, and a shelter favorite. When he’s doing tricks (he knows sit, lay down, shake, and speak!) he will scooch backwards while “sitting” to really emphasize that he is, in fact, sitting down. He also walks great on a leash, and LOVES to go for car rides! He even loves bath time here at the shelter! This boy loves toys, and especially loves to *destroy* stuffed toys. However, because he also loves to swallow toy parts, we have banned him from having them here at the shelter. He’s had a couple of surgeries to repair his intestines because of damage done by squeakers! He still gets Kongs, and other toys that don’t come apart. Duke has had most of his teeth removed, has “old man bumps” on his body, seems to have lost some of his hearing, and drools A LOT, but he makes up for all of that with the amount of love he shows, and the amount of fun he has. Although he’s spent so much of his life in shelters, his spirit is always up and he loves living life to the fullest!

Cheerio

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 9 mos

Osseo, MI

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Cheerio! Cheerio is a very sweet girl that recently learned that she loves to snuggle with humans! You could lose yourself in her icy blue eyes, and she'd love to also gaze into your treat-pouch.... oops, we mean eyes! Cheerio is very treat motivated and is learning some basic commands as well as how to walk nicely on a leash. One of her favorite things to do is sit in a human's lap, preferably in the sunshine and in the grass after a walk. She gets along with some of her siblings in playgroups, but if you have a dog already, we recommend a meet & greet before adoption. Cheerio doesn’t seem to be a fan of smaller children, so we would recommend ages 5 and up in her new family. Cheerio is spayed, microchipped, and is up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations. She is too young to test for heartworms. apply here: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/signup/664c2ea080ba55b07a0e6299

Thor

American Staffordshire Terrier

Male, 3 yrs 7 mos

Osseo, MI

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Thor! Thor is a very sweet Staffordshire Terrier that is nicknamed “Potato” by our staff. He was recently returned after being adopted from GHHS last year. After living with cats the whole time he was with the family, he suddenly decided he hates cats and no longer wanted to live with them. If you are not a cat, Thor loves you and wants to be your best friend. He loves tennis balls, fetch and a good booty-scratchin' session! He has a very happy tail that is constantly wagging (and sometimes knocking things off of low tables!). He loves humans of all sizes and gets along with dogs just fine. Because of his size and energy level, we do think he should be in a home with children over the age of 5. Our Thor does have a high prey drive, so we recommend no small critters like cats or rabbits or chickens in the vicinity. We do require a meet & greet if you have another dog. Thor is neutered, microchipped, up to date on all of his vaccinations, and tested negative for heartworm.
