❤️🐾Hey everyone! Chip here, writing to you straight from my foster family's home look at me now! I’m a 10-pound, 1-year-old Maltese mix, and my foster parents say I am an absolute dream. I started out as a scared, skinny, and very matted stray at a local shelter, but look at me now! I am all cleaned up, fully vaccinated, healthy, and ready for a forever family to pamper me every single day.

Here is the quick scoop on me:
•I am a happy boy! Love people and small dogs
• I am non-shedding. I look like a little lamb chop!
• I’m Super quiet, even when the vacuum comes out.
• Friendly with everyone, and adore other small dogs.
•Located in Birmingham, Michigan.
• Walks great on a leash, right behind you.
• I take treats nicely, and listen well.
I have put my rough past behind me and am so ready to find a home of my very own.

If you think we’d make a great team, please fill out an application so we can finally meet!

🤎Has anyone noticed my heart-shaped face?

My friends Call me Zuzu. I'm a 3½-year-old Lab/Shepherd mix looking for my fairy tale ending! My life didn't start out easy. I was once a scared, lonely girl trying to survive the freezing streets. But with rescue, love, and patience, I've learned that people can be kind and the world can be a wonderful place!

I've even graduated from my board-and-train program with From The Heart Dog Services! I'm learning to trust, meet new people, and gain confidence every day.

Here is a little about me:
🤎3½-year-old Lab mix
🤎Spayed and up to date on vaccinations
🤎Board-and-train graduate
🤎Learning to trust and build confidence
🤎Looking for a patient, loving forever family
🤎Based in Birmingham, Michigan.

I'm ready for a fresh start and a family to call my own. Could you be the one to make my dreams come true? Please share and help me find my forever home!

Love always and paw-ever,

Why do I keep getting overlooked while my fur friends find families?

Hello. My name is Raptor. I am a German Shepherd/Golden Retriever mix. I am 1.8 years old, neutered, fully vaccinated, and close to 85 lbs. Every time someone visits, I sit as pretty as I can, wag my tail, and hope today is the day. But they always walk past me. I promise I don't mean to take up so much space, and in my heart, I still think I’m just a tiny lap dog who wants to be close to you. My foster mom calls me her big baby boy, and I try so hard to be perfect.

I already know my name, I come when I'm called, and I know how to sit. I love my squeaky toys, playing fetch, and splashing in the water, but what I want more than anything is a family of my own to love and protect. My DNA test even shows that I'm mostly German Shepherd and Golden Retriever—which my foster mom says means I’m smart, loyal, and full of love. I just need someone who understands big guys like me and can give me the yard, exercise, and patience I need to grow.

Please don't let them walk past me again.
If you have room in your heart for a gentle giant, please apply to adopt me:

Hi there! My name is Raptor, and I’m a 85-pound lap dog who is ready to find my forever family! 🐾❤️

I’m about 1.8 years old, and my foster mom says I’m just a big baby boy. I might look giant, but I promise I still think I fit perfectly right in your lap. Did I mention I love car rides? Especially to the doggy park. My DNA test says I'm mostly German Shepherd and Golden Retriever, which just means I'm super loyal, smart, and a very good boy!

Here is a Little About Me:
• Fully Ready: I’m already neutered, up to date on all my vaccines, and I've even been to school! I know my name, I come when you call me, and I have a very polite "sit."
• My Favorite Things: Squeaky toys, playing fetch, and anything to do with water! 💦 I am also highly motivated by treats, which makes learning new tricks super fun.
• The Perfect Match: I would love a home with a yard to play in. If you have another friendly dog, that would be awesome too—we just have to take it slow when we first meet.

I'm currently hanging out in Birmingham, Michigan, waiting for you! If you have experience with big, goofy pups like me and have room in your heart (and your couch) for a new best friend, please fill out my Adoption Application Here.
