scooter 13

Meet Scooter 
At just 11 months old and 64 pounds, Scooter is a big-headed, ridiculously handsome pit mix with an even bigger heart. He’s all puppy enthusiasm wrapped up in a strong, goofy body — and he’s still learning the rules of life.
Scooter hasn’t always had people show up for him. He’s been let down more than once, and we’ve promised him that won’t happen again. What he needs now is a committed, patient family who will continue his training and show him that forever really means forever.
The good stuff:
• Rings the bell to go outside
• Knows “sit”
• Knows “down” (about 50% of the time — he’s working on it!)
• Offers both paws like a total gentleman
• Crate trained/House trained
• Dog friendly
• Has not met a cat
• Kids 8+ (he’s strong and energetic and sometimes forgets he’s not a lap dog)
• Pretty good on leash with minimal reminders
• Professional-level kisser 
Scooter is playful, affectionate, and full of life. He loves to move, loves to learn, and would thrive with someone who enjoys training and keeping an active young dog mentally and physically engaged. A fenced-in yard is a must for this energetic boy — he needs space to zoom and burn off that puppy energy.
Oh, and fun fact: Scooter lines up perfectly to Metallica.  (We’re not saying he’s a metalhead, but… we’re not not saying it either.)
If you’re ready to invest in a loyal, hilarious, big-hearted best friend who just needs someone to believe in him, Scooter is ready to meet you.
Neutered, current vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped.

almond 14

Meet Almond 

4 years old. 45 lbs.
A true “Detroit Special” — maybe Bulldog, Staffy, Pit, Boxer… but 100% good girl.

Almond didn’t have an easy start.
She was found as a skinny stray in Detroit, her body showing the toll of everything she had been through. She needed time — to heal physically, to feel safe again, to learn that people could be kind.

And she did. 

Now? She’s ready.

Ready for a quiet home.
Ready for soft beds.
Ready for someone who sees her gentle heart and gives her the life she’s always deserved.

Almond is a sensitive, sweet soul. A little shy at first, but once she trusts you, she’ll be your calm, loyal shadow. The kind of dog who doesn’t ask for much — just love, consistency, and a place to belong.

Housebroken
Crate trained
Fully vetted (including dental)
Good with respectful kids 12+
Would enjoy a dog friend her size (25lbs+)
NO cats or small animals

She’s not loud.
She’s not demanding.
She’s just… waiting.

Waiting for her person to finally find her.

If you’re looking for a calm, loving companion to share your life with, Almond is ready to fill that space in your heart 

jello 29

Meet Jello 
winkADOPTION FEE PAIDwink 

1 year old • 40 lbs • Pit mix • Certified Professional Cuddler

Jello is the kind of dog that sneaks into your heart… and then never leaves.

She’s sweet.
She’s sensitive.
She’s a little bit unhinged in the most lovable, hilarious way 🙂 

Jello LOVES other dogs — and honestly? She’d really thrive with one in the home. A confident canine buddy helps her feel safe and gives her someone to zoom, wrestle, and just be a dog with. 

She’s also:
A world-class cuddler (being held = her love language)
Always down to explore and go on adventures
A year-round swimmer (weather? irrelevant.)
A sworn enemy of squirrels and birds (she takes this job seriously)

Jello is smart, food-motivated, and eager to learn — she just needs someone willing to guide her and show her the world isn’t such a scary place.

The details:
Dog friendly (would LOVE a dog sibling)
Potty trained & crate trained
Super smart + trainable
Active & athletic

The “know before you fall in love” stuff:
No young kids — fast movements make her nervous
Cats: maybe… but only the confident, “been through some things” type
Gets a little spooky at night (windows = suspicious mirrors), so she sleeps with a light on… for ambiance, obviously

Jello is looking for an active, patient home that will help her build confidence and continue her training. In return, you’ll get a loyal, goofy little shadow who will hike with you, swim with you, cuddle you, and guard your yard from squirrels like it’s her full-time job.

She doesn’t need perfect.
She just needs hers.
