ADOPTED 2012

NAME: Minnie BREED: Miniature Pinscher GENDER: Female (spayed) AGE: Approx. 6yro COLOR: Red, erect ears, natural tail WEIGHT: 13# BIO: Hi there, my name is Minnie. I was found running loose by a very caring person that was nice enough to take me in, feed me and try to locate my previous owner. When I was found, I had a couple of puncture wounds in my neck - so evidently someone didn't like me :-( I am a little overweight - the vet feels I should only weigh about 10#. I am good with cats and dogs, but would really prefer just to be a one and only. I occasionally grumble at the other dogs while they are playing - I guess I am like their babysitter. I do not have the "typical" high-strung or hyper personality of a MinPin. I absolutely love toys, especially squeaky ones, and playing ball/tug. I would make a great little companion dog for an adult. I am house-trained and am very neat and clean. Originally I did not like to be crated - but that has all changed. Once I had my dental work done, my teeth cleaned and the infections in my mouth taken care of because of my teeth I absolutely LOVE my crate. Now I love to sleep in there with the door open. I have not had one single accident in the house or in my crate since going into foster care. Also I am not destructive and have not chewed up anything. My foster family would love to keep me, but they already have a dog and the other dog does not want me to become a permanent part of their family. I would prefer to be right with you and just hang out. Because of my demeanor, my foster Mom thinks that I may have been a companion for an older person. I desperately needed to have my teeth cleaned, so the rescue had that done at the vets while I was being spayed. I love going on walks, which is good because maybe I can shed a couple of unnecessary pounds. If you are interested in making a small place in your heart and home for me - I promise to reward you with all the love you can possibly handle. Because I am so tiny, it would not be advisable for me to be around toddlers - I can break too easily. I am UTD on all vaccinations and heartworm negative. You must have a completely fenced and secure yard in order to adopt me. UPDATE: Minnie was adopted Jan. 2012 by her very loving foster Mom in Metamora, MI

NAME: PEACHES BREED: Bouvier des Flandres GENDER: Female (spayed) AGE: Born 8/9/08 COLOR: Black brindle, docked tail, natural ears WEIGHT: 91# BIO: Hi everyone, my name is Peaches. I was surrendered by a family member to the rescue because my Dad was terminally ill and no one was able to keep me. I was fortunate and grateful that I was able to spend the last couple of days with my Dad before he passed away. I am a very loving and trusting girl. I am housetrained, I walk well on a leash, I ride well in the car and I get along fantastically with everyone. I am UTD on all my vaccinations and am heartworm negative. **UPDATE: Peaches was adopted 3/22/12 by a very loving and compassionate woman in Warren, MI that just recently had to say goodbye to her beloved dog, Biscuit. I went straight from my Dad's home to my new forever Mom's home with no problem. After I met my new Mom and checked out my new home I proceeded to jump up on the couch and sit down as if to say, "I'm home". As badly as my new Mom feels as far as the circumstances that made me available to her, she already loves me to death. I do have a chronic ear infection in both my ears, but my new Mom is willing to religiously clean them out daily and medicate them until the infections are cleared up. My new Mom has so much love to give and I have so much love to give her in return. As sad as this day started out to be, I am sure my Dad is peacefully looking down from heaven knowing that I will be forever loved and cared for by my new Mom.
