Cooper

Gordon Setter Black Mouth Cur

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Cooper is 5 years old, about 70 lbs, we were told he's a Black Mouth Cur/Gordon Setter/Shepherd mix and he is neutered. He typically has a calm temperament but still loves to play! He loves being outside as long as someone is with him; he loves being around people. Cooper is a sweet, loving dog and a great companion but we just aren’t able to give him the attention he needs and deserves since our daughter was born. He is a very anxious/stressed dog and we don't feel comfortable with him around our daughter (9 months old) as she gets more mobile. Cooper tends to "guard" what is his or what he believes is his (food bowl, his bed, the couch he is on, etc.) with a growl, and sometimes a mean bark and we just can't take a chance (he does the same thing sometimes with a harness/leash). He has never bit anyone, but when his stress level is up we tend to stay away. A low stress environment and someone with experience with dogs with behavioral issues would probably be best. Thanks!

Howell, MI

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,

Story

Hello this is Daisy Duke! Daisy comes from a line of decades of successful show Dobermans! We are currently looking into getting her shots up to date. Daisy is a one show dog type of home, ready to soak up every drop of everyone's precious love all to herself! She does not get along well with cats or small dogs. She sometimes will get along with larger dogs, but not typically males. She also prefers women over men and only prefers larger children. Daisy is a dominant dog who loves to run the show and steal everyone's hearts! She loves to be pet, to play tug of war, to play fetch, to do tricks for treats and more! She is very intelligent and is always looking to be "working" or playing. She is a big girl with a big bark and is territorial toward other animals if she has any food or toys in her possession. Daisy does love scratches and kisses but DOES NOT like hugs and she will buck or bite if hugged. Daisy is 7 years old and still enjoys being active and outdoors.

Gem

American Staffordshire Terrier

Female, Young

Pinckney, MI

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Gem is quite the adventurous dog: she enjoys performing what are called “zoomies”, running, and hanging around humans. Being an American Staffordshire Terrier, she tends to feel the urge to intensely tackle rodents - so it’s best to avoid such things. It has been proven that she works great with cats, though she can be playful around them. Gem is kind to other dog’s, but will get aggressive if her food bowl is touched and/or sniffed. She would be best in a household where she’s the only dog, and where the children are aged 9+, to prevent any knocking-over of the young ones (as she is an intense and playful dog). Overall, Gem deserves a loving and forever home - where there is a fenced backyard, and where she’ll get a ton of affection.

Lucy

Beagle Dalmatian

Female, Young

Pinckney, MI

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Lucy is an almost 4 yr old, very sweet girl! We adopted her as a puppy as soon as she was able. She has lived her entire life with a child in the home, a small toddler. She is very patient and gentle with all age children and adults. Plays well with other dogs and loves to run and chase. She's never been around cats. She has peaks of very high energy levels but also lounges and sleeps most of the day. Does very well with familiar visitors and gets very excited when people come in the door.She definitely has a beagle nose and loves to hunt squirrels and other yard animals. When we adopted her, she was home with a work from home adult. As jobs have transitioned after a few years, she must be left home alone during the day. A transition she has struggled with. She has barrier frustration (claustrophobia) and needs to be in a home where someone can be with her full time. She shows no signs of distress when family is home but becomes very anxious when family leaves. Overall, she is a joy!
