🚨🐾 URGENT FOSTER NEEDED! 🐾🚨

Meet Arbor – a 2-year-old, 37 lb Akita/Husky mix who has been in the shelter for 86+ days 😢. This spunky, dog-friendly girl is starting to struggle in the kennel and she desperately needs a hero. 💔

✨ What makes Arbor amazing:
🐶 Dog-friendly – loves having a playful pup buddy!
🏡 Crate-trained & working on house training!
🎾 Energetic & fun – loves toys, especially stuffies!
🦴 Smart cookie – already knows sit & takes treats gently!
🚗 Adventure buddy – rides great in the car & walks beautifully on leash!
💤 Sleeps quietly in her crate all night!
💖 Affectionate – leans in for snuggles every chance she gets!

Arbor needs a foster (or adopter!) who can give her daily exercise, structure, and love. A yard and breed experience would be ideal. 🏡

🙏 Please, Arbor cannot wait any longer. She needs a safe place NOW. If you can foster this sweet girl, apply today at greatlakesdogrescue.com — YOU could be the hero she’s been waiting for! 🦸‍♀️🐾🦸‍♂️
