Story
Meet Comet! Here is a bit about him, in his own words… or woofs… -I LOVE toys but not small ones, bones to chew and I get the zoomies all the time. -I’m very loving, I’m learning how to cuddle and love to lay on the couch with a bone. -I think I would like a doggy friend but also could be happy as an only dog. -I’ve been neutered and got a clean bill of health from the vet as well. -I would love someone who would work with me on learning better leash skills and manners training. Comet was a shelter pull at risk of euthanasia due to space and the time he had been there. We were able to get him full vaccinated, neutered, and even allergy tested. He’s been doing great on the specific allergy friendly food he is on. We are thankful we could give him the chance at a forever life by bringing him to our rescue and helping him on his journey to finding a family! If Comet sounds like he could be a match, please fill out an application on our website.

Story
Meet Reba! This sweet girl was unfortunately dealt a tough start to life where she was chained in the backyard and neglected to a point where her collar had to be surgically removed from her neck. The sweet lady has made incredible strides in her life since then and we know the right family will leave all her bad memories in the past and fill up her future with only love. We’ve made up a list for what this special girl would like in a forever home: -An active home with lots of walks and time to play ball. -I am crate trained but it’s not my favorite place so I would love to sleep in bed and cuddle on the couch with you. -Older kids would be best since I can be a little hyper I might knock a little one down. -She is open to having a doggy sibling but no cats If interested in applying for Reba, please fill out an application on our website. She can’t wait to meet you!

Female, Senior
Allen Park, MI
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
This sweet little girl is Maude and she is a 8.5 lb Chihuahua. She is just a little potato loaf who likes to eat and sleep. She is very food motivated and loves breakfast and dinner. She will let you know when she is hungry by trying to be a scary barker but really it is just cute. While fostering her, we have learned she probably has experienced some things in her past that make her a little skittish and slow to trust. She does snap a little when she is unhappy with being touched but will let you rub her when she warms to you. She has had some accidents in the house but they have been getting less frequent with a few extra trips outside when she wakes up from naps or after meals. Maude loves her foster dad and seems to prefer men to women but we are still trying on that front. Maude also loves her foster brother who is a medium sized dog and has never had an issue with him. We want to find Maude a forever home and let her relax and be the center of attention. Please share or apply

Siren

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 4 yrs 9 mos
Dearborn, MI
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Story
Siren (also goes by Lady) is such a sweetheart! She walks nicely on a leash, rides well in a car, is very treat motivated, and responds well to verbal corrections. She loves to sleep in her own bed and eats her food at her own pace. She can be a little clumsy and goofy, but has all the best snuggles, and the happiest smile! She is so curious and wants to be a part of everything you do, but curls up and naps when she is left home alone. Siren is GREAT with kids 7 and older, GREAT with other large dogs after proper introductions, but is not so good with smaller dogs or cats (as she has a strong prey drive, and unknown around smaller children, but not recommended around babies due to her desire to be so close to humans). She does fabulously in the car for long drives. She would make a great addition to a family with kids around 7+ years old, and would do well with another dog!~All of our dogs and puppies go home spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (if at least 7 months old), and up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations. We do our best to update information on adoptable pets as frequently as we can. If you’re interested in a specific pet, we recommend that you call the shelter and ask if he or she still is available. Adoption questionnaires are processed in the order in which they're received.<p>For current adoption fees, please see our website, www.metrodetroitanimals.org. Adoption fee includes: age-appropriate vaccinations, spay or neuter, microchip, ID tag, fecal / worming, basic physical and behavior assessment. Dogs (6 months and older) receive an occult heartworm test. For an additional $20, cats (12 weeks and older) can be tested for FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus) / FLV (feline leukemia).</p>
