Story
Meet Timothy, a young and timid soul seeking a place to call home. His shyness is a whisper of a story yet to unfold, a tale that requires patience and gentle nurturing. Timothy`s journey to trust may take a bit longer, but the reward of his companionship will be worth the wait. He needs a family willing to give him the time he needs to adjust, to learn that home is a place of safety and love. The promise of Timothy is in the potential he holds, the love he can give once he feels secure. Adopting Timothy is not just about giving a dog a home, it`s about teaching him to trust, to love, and to thrive. It`s about the joy of watching a shy dog bloom into a confident companion. With your love and patience, Timothy can find the courage to let his true personality shine. Adopt Timothy, and let his story unfold in your loving home.An ideal home:Recommend mature children 8+

Rusty *BONDED PAIR*

Dachshund Beagle

Male, Senior
Sterling Heights, MI
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Rusty was adopted from a shelter when he was 12 weeks old. He’s 30lbs and 10 years young. He is part of a bonded pair with his adopted sister, Macy. Macy is 35lbs and 7 years young. She was originally rescued from the natural disaster efforts in Louisiana. They recently lost their humans when both unexpectedly passed away within 9 months of each other and a family friend that took them in can no longer care for them. They are the absolute sweetest dogs in need of a furever retirement home together with lots of cuddles, love, and belly scratches! Their favorite pastimes are sunbathing in the summer, looking out the window for hours on end (neighborhood watch duty extraordinaires!) and cuddling/lounging around. They’ve cohabitated with a bunny rabbit (that they took in as their own!), but must be the only dogs in the home. They love love LOVE everyone they meet, including children!

Story
I got Alpha in March 2024 from a cane corso breeder. He is a pure breed.I envisioned my life of a pet owner. As months continued time became an issue. I work full time + 8-16 hours of over time weekly. I’ve also started to travel every other month and it’s become diffident to find a sitter. I live alone in a small apartment. When I got him I planned to get a place with a yard he can enjoy but was not able to . Due to housing he is caged more than I imagined or even forethought. I want better for him. He is an amazing animal. Mild tempered, fast learner. He’s never been aggressive and is great in any environment with people and crowds. A true loyal companion. I want to Re-house him with someone or a family that could allow him to have an enjoyable life. Money is not an issue. Just a great family. Please contact me Terelle Murphy -(xxx) xxx-xxxx
