Help Me Find My Way Home.
Adopt. Foster. Share.
There once was a dog named Limerick,
Who’s handsome and pretty terrific.
He’s waiting to find
His one of a kind
Person to love him, his perfect pick.
But Limerick’s story has become urgent.
He has been in the shelter since May 11th, more than 115 days. Despite the care, enrichment and support our team provides, the shelter environment is impacting his spirits. Limerick needs a home where he can decompress, feel secure and begin showing more of the dog we know is still there.
We want to be honest about who Limerick is and what he needs.
Limerick is independent and aloof when meeting new people. He is not an instant cuddle buddy, and he needs someone who will respect his space and allow trust to develop at his pace. Once he feels comfortable, he shows affection in his own special way and seems especially drawn to women.
He is active, vocal, curious and always ready to explore. He loves enrichment, adventures and tasty snacks. He has tolerated other dogs and was playful with them when he first arrived. After time to decompress in a home, he may enjoy having canine company again.
Limerick is also heartworm positive, but Friends for Animals of Metro Detroit will cover the cost of his treatment.
We are urgently seeking an adopter, foster family, or foster to adopt home. Our team will work closely with anyone interested in helping Limerick and provide the information and support needed to give him the best chance of success.
If you cannot bring Limerick home, you can still help. Please share his story, talk about him and help us reach the person he has been waiting for.
