💔 Hazel is being overlooked... and she deserves so much better.

This sweet 4-year-old, 61 lb girl is gentle, affectionate, house-trained, and happiest curled up beside her person.

She may be shy at first, but give her a little time and you'll have a loyal best friend who follows you everywhere, loves treats, and greets you with happy tail wags and kisses. She will need slow intro with other animals.

Hazel just needs a calm home where she can finally feel safe and ease her into a new life after being stressed in a kennel for so long.

Please don't let her spend another weekend waiting.

🐾 Foster or adopt Hazel today.

🐾🤎 Meet Becca 🤎🐾

Becca is a 5.5 year old sweetheart weighing 71lbs, and she’s been patiently waiting for someone to see just how special she is. 💔

This smart girl already knows Sit, Shake, and Down 🧠✨ and with a treat in hand, she’s always excited to learn even more. Becca is incredibly food motivated 🍖, loves going for car rides 🚗, adores people 🥰, and is happiest when she’s playing with her dog friends 🐕❤️.

All Becca is asking for is a loving home where she can finally belong. She would do best in a home without small animals, but she has so much love to give to her future family. 🏡💕

Day after day, she watches people pass by, hoping this will be the day someone chooses her. 😔 She deserves more than a kennel—she deserves a couch, a family, and a place to call home forever. 🐾✨

After waiting far too long, Becca is still holding onto hope that her people are out there somewhere. 🤎 Could you be the one to give this amazing girl the happy ending she deserves? 🐶💕

Located in Pontiac MI!

🐾💖 Hi friends… it’s me, Lacey. 💖🐾

I wanted to tell you a little about my journey. ❤️

At the beginning of June, so many kind people came together to help me go to training, and because of that, I’ve been learning so much every single day! 🐶🎓 I’m working hard to become the very best companion I can be. 🌟

My trainers say I’m smart, eager to learn, and making amazing progress. 🥰 I love people, car rides 🚗, walks 🦮, tasty treats 🍖, cuddling on the couch 🛋️, and just being part of a family. Every day I gain a little more confidence and learn something new. ❤️

But there’s something that makes me a little sad… 😔💔

When my training ends in July, I don’t have a home to go to. If no one adopts me, I’ll have to go back to the shelter. 🏠➡️🐾

I’ve worked so hard, and my biggest dream is to find a family of my very own. A family who will love me, be patient with me, and give me a place where I belong. ❤️🏡

Can you help me? 🙏🐾 Please share my story with your friends, family, coworkers, and anyone looking for a loyal best friend. Sometimes all it takes is one share to change a dog’s life. ✨

I’m ready for my happy ending. 💕 Will you help me find it?

Love,
Lacey 🐶❤️

🐾💕
