Story
Meet Mortimer (aka Morty)!
Morty is a 5-year-old, large mix breed with a striking white coat adorned with black spots and expressive, gentle brown eyes. This sweet, calm guy is as lovable as he is handsome. Though he's a bit of a big guy, Morty has a soft and easy-going nature that will melt your heart.
He's well-mannered and knows several commands, including "sit," "stay," "come," "down," "wait," and "fetch." If you've got treats on hand, he's all ears-Morty is very food motivated, which makes him easy to train and redirect if needed. He's also a toy enthusiast and loves playing with people and on his own. Whether it's a squeaky ball or a tug toy, Morty is always up for a fun game just make sure he doesn't eat any of the toys!
Morty LOVES other dogs (mostly the ladies) and is a true gentleman in playgroups. He loves to rough and tumble play, but also has a soft and snuggly side. We refer to him as the Sargent because he checks in with everyone and helps us enforce safe and proper play among the other dogs. Even though Morty loves other dogs, he does not do well with cats and wants to chase them, so we wouldn't recommend a home with cats for him.
Though he's calm in his kennel and enjoys napping on his bed, Morty would thrive in a home with older children due to his size and tendency to jump when excited. He's fully potty-trained and has kept his kennel clean.
Morty came to us from the Brownstown Animal Shelter where he was found as a stray and is ready for his forever family. If you're looking for a sweet, loyal, and playful pup who'll be your new best friend, Morty is your guy!

If you would like to meet Mortimer please submit an application for him on our website https://www.friendsofmichigan.org/adoptable-dogs. He is neutered, up to date on all age appropriate vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, and on monthly flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. His adoption fee is $250, which helps cover the cost of the medical care he has received.
**Please note that the breed listed for each of our dogs is a rough estimate unless DNA results are provided in their Bio. All strays have rough estimates on their age based on the condition of their teeth.
Each dog is different, so each adoption is different. Our adoption process might require multiple visits to the shelter before our dogs can go home. Or they may be ready on the first visit. It really depends on the individual dog and the potential adopters. Once we receive your application, the Dog Staff will contact you to discuss meeting our dogs.
