Story
Meet Dante, our 1-year-old foster pit bull ready for his forever home. He has been with us for 5 months while we nurtured him back to health. He's affectionate, loyal, & energetic. He's well-trained, responding to basic commands, & fully potty trained. We are seeking a family offering an active lifestyle. Ideally, Dante needs to be the only dog, with a securely fenced yard in a quiet area. He loves walks, chew toys, play fetch, & cuddles. His allergies are managed through a specific diet (see pet diet). He's neutered & fully vaccinated. While great with humans, he's cautious around other dogs, especially males. His new family should understand pit bull ownership responsibilities. He does best in a calm environment. His perfect home would combine regular exercise, consistent training, & lots of love. He is seeking a family who'll appreciate his loving nature and commit to his needs. If you're ready for a devoted companion who'll bring joy to your life, Dante could be your perfect match!

Story
Sunny is a sweet girl who loves cuddles, walks and pets! She is a 3 year old mixed breed but her vet paperwork says pit bull and husky. We got her a year ago, and have been working on potty training, simple commands and walking on a lead. We love her dearly, but unfortunately we are losing our home. We want her to go to a good home with someone who also loves to cuddle and go on walks. She is a little hyper and would probably do best without very small children. Our youngest is 6 and she does well but plays too hard at times. She has never bit or shown aggression although we are still working on nipping when playing.

Story
Meet Gemma! Female grey and white pitty mix Estimated DOB 03/2021 Gemma was pulled from a county shelter where she was struggling in such a busy environment. She will need an experienced adopter who is willing to continue the work being done with her foster. She has some separation anxiety, we believe from being abandoned at some point in her life. She's a STAGE FIVE clinger. She would not do well in a home with cats. We are unsure about dogs as we are taking it very slowly. She is not reactive to the bigger foster dog in her home but definitely reactive to the smaller dog through the door. She loves going for car rides but has this weird quirk where she likes to have her window down and she bites at the air blowing past. She loves to sleep under the covers and she does this most gentle paw at you to let you know that she needs you to lift up the blanket to let her in. While she does have separation anxiety, she doesn't destroy anything other than to sometimes tip over the food and water dishes. She does bark at thunder. Location: Gemma is currently in a foster home. Medical: All dogs are spayed/neutered, current on age approriate vaccines (rabies, distemper, Leptospirosis, and Bordetella), microchipped, negative heartworm tested, given flea/tick/heartworm prevention and dewormer, and any other veterinary care that is needed prior to adoption.

Story
Meet Goose! Male brown and white pitty mix Estimated DOB: 07/2023 Goose was on the euthanasia list at Michigan shelter and we were able to pull him after finding a foster at the last minute. This guy is good with everything - dogs, kids, cats (he's afraid of them) and of course humans. He is very high energy and large. His fosters are working with him but he does like to jump up on people so may knock young children down. He will need someone who will be able to exercise him or that has a high energy dog who plays rough like he does. Location: Goose is currently in a foster home. Medical: All dogs are spayed/neutered, current on age approriate vaccines (rabies, distemper, Leptospirosis, and Bordetella), microchipped, negative heartworm tested, given flea/tick/heartworm prevention and dewormer, and any other veterinary care that is needed prior to adoption. Fill out an application at www.figandfriendspetrescue.org/adopt if you are interested in adopting him.

Hi there, my name is Tilly, your future best friend and loyal guardian! I am a two and a half year old smart girl who know several tricks. My favorite things to do are play with my toy rope and make a nest of blankets in my crate. I am fiercely loyal and will alert you of any danger - even if it just the mailman or the neighbors. I prefer the solo life when it comes to other dogs and animals. I like to have all the attention and treats for myself! Im also really fast and love to play outside and retrieve, so a big yard would be ideal for my behavior. I have gotten along with adults and older teenagers before. I can be hesitant to warm up to males, but when I do, we’re best friends for life! My ideal home would include a single person or couple. If youre looking for a loyal dog who loves to give big slobbery kisses and wiggle her whole body with excitement, then Im your gal! I am up-to-date on my shots, Im spayed, and Im chipped! Even better, I am house-broken and crate trai

Story
Meet Razzle Dazzle! We believe this cutie is about 2 years old. He is about 70 pounds. He is such a sweet boy and is a staff favorite here at Mapleview and the rescue! Everyone loves to be greeted by him in the morning and say goodbye to him when they leave for the day.   Razzle loves all people! He has done well with other large dogs he has met. We have not yet introduced him to small dogs. He does need a cat free home. He likes to play and has a lot of energy! Razz needs some training with basic obedience and leash training (he has quite a prey drive) but he is eager to please and smart, so just needs someone with time to commit to him.   We have discovered that Razzle has some allergies which is not surprising with his beautiful white coat and his breed. He came to us with some very sore and torn up paw pads and wounds on his legs. He does better with apoquel, which is an expensive allergy medication. We are currently trying a hypoallergenic prescription diet with him to see how it manages his allergies as a more cost effective option longterm. But, he is worth it! He is such a good boy and deserves to be comfortable!   An approved adoption application is required. The $250 adoption fee (payable by cash or check only) includes spay/neuter; microchip; dental teeth cleaning (if needed prior to adoption); vaccinations; heartworm and tick disease testing; fecal w/ giardia testing, monthly heartworm and flea and tick prevention . Our adoption application may be found by going to: www.headinhomerescue.org; then click on the link to the adoption application. Dogs for adoption may be seen by appointment only following an approved application. Proof of completion of an obedience class is required for all dogs following adoption. Please note: while we welcome out of state applications, we do not ship our animals and require adopters to come to Holland to finalize any adoption.November 13, 2024, 9:37 am

Story
HAULT! If you are looking for a hug-a-bull, kiss-a-bull, irrisist-a-bull, and totally adopt-a-bull guy, I am the guy for you! You might be wondering where I get a name such as Clovis (meaning renowned fighter); well when I was found I had some pretty bad injuries and was severely emaciated (for real I was basically a skeleton with skin and fur). Thank goodness MAS was able to take me in and nurse me back to health. It was pretty touch-and-go for a while, and I almost didn't make it...but with the help of MAS, we fought for my life and overcame the odds. Though I am "out of the woods" as they say, some TLC is still needed (and wanted,...I want all your cuddles!). Despite having such a traumatic past, I am such a baby dog. I LOVE people of all ages, I am such a happy boy, which just goes to show how resilient and positive I really am (except with cats...I am positive I am not a fan of those things). I have done well meeting some of the other dogs at MAS as well. I am just so ready to find a place that I am welcomed as part of a family, and feel safe that I will never have to go through anything like my past again. I have all the love in the world to give, if only I am given a chance. If you would like to give Clovis a chance, submit your adoption application to start the process! DOB: 6/13/2018 For safety's sake, we are looking for homes with physical fenced in areas. Please fill out our online adoption survey at www.mackenzies.info/adopt/adoption-survey-application/

"Already know you that which you need" - Yoda (the wise little green master from Star Wars) The one that you need is definitely me. I am more of a young padawon Yoda, in training to be your best friend! Even though I don’t hear much of anything, love and play are universal languages that we can figure out together! You could say I am a very social guy, I have met some other dogs and cats at MAS and have done awesome. I can get a little rambunctious though, so I would probably be best in a home without kids. Not every dog appreciates my hardcore play style either, but I have made several doggy friends hanging out at MAS. I am ready, willing, and able to use the force to take on adventures and overcome the evils of your stressful day! I can be an absolute goofball when I am outside playing (I love to be outdoors romping around in the yard). But I also love to get attention and curl up afterwards, maybe we can movie marathon with the best movies of all time…you guessed it, Star Wars! If Star Wars isn’t your thing though (we will agree to disagree), I am happy to hang out with you anyways and soak up your affection while you watch whatever else. "No greater gift there is, than a generous heart" - Yoda An adoption application you must fill out today! DOB: 5/1/2021 For safety's sake, we are looking for homes with physical fenced in areas.

Resilient, loyal, and gorgeous - it's triple threat Trinity here! And I am ready to impress you with my heart-of-gold spunk! Let's start with my ideal digs – none of that noisy, rambunctious stuff for me. I'm all about that laid-back adult-only vibe, free from the hustle and bustle. Let's just bask in some peace and tranquility; I relish in some cozy cuddles but feel free to do your own thing. I'm perfectly content entertaining myself with my toys or a quick snooze. When it comes to strangers, I don't exactly roll out the welcome mat. It takes time for me to warm up and trust new friends, but once I do, it's a friendship for life! To join my pack is the real deal. Just know that we will stick together through thick and thin, creating all the best memories and sharing snuggles like there's no tomorrow! As happy as I am to indulge in an afternoon laze, there's nothing quite like getting my heart pumping and feeling the wind in my fur! Ever seen a powerhouse like me tear through a room, giddy with the zoomies? It's a sight to behold, let me tell you! And adventures? Count me in! Whether it's a rugged hike or a road trip for a pup cup, I'm game for it! Wait, did someone say treats? I've got a bit of a weakness when it comes to food. Show me a tasty snack, and I'll show you what a pup with determination and a hunger that just won't quit! And hey, who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? I'm living proof that you can teach this ol' girl a thing or two! Well, what do you say? Ready to join the pack of a tough, yet totally silly, and downright lovable pup like me?

Meet Lincoln Are you looking for a smart, devoted, and active playmate? How about a tall, dark, and handsome companion? Well, that's me to a T! I have the biggest smile and I love to show it off! It is almost as big as the love in my heart. I love to play and run, and I think you would be impressed with how agile and fast I am. I love long walks, preferably on a more remote scenic trail. I would be a top notch hiking buddy! I desire all your cuddles and attention to myself, so I need a home without other dogs or cats. Older kids are better equipped to handle my excitement and zest for life. I have been great with kids, but I don’t want to knock over very small ones by accident. Don’t go thinking that I am all go-go-go though. I like to settle in and hangout with my people too. I am a big time lover, spending quality time with my people is the best part of any day! I’ve gotten quite a few compliments on my good boy behavior from everyone I meet. Like I said before, I am a smart guy, learning new tricks and maybe even doing some work with agility equipment is right up my alley! If I sound like the dog for you, please fill out an application today!
