ROSWELL 🚀💙 — FOSTER TO ADOPT NEEDED!
Meet Roswell! Yes, like the alien — because he’s out of this world!
Roswell was a stray that was never claimed by an owner.
He was found wandering alone with no chip, no collar, no one looking for him. At just 2 years old, this big 80 lb boy had to figure out the world all by himself. Now he’s but he needs something extra special: a FOSTER TO ADOPT home.
What does Foster to Adopt mean for Roswell?
Roswell is currently being treated for heartworm and is in need of a foster to adopt scenario.
Heartworm sounds scary, but here’s the good news — it’s very treatable, it’s NOT contagious to other pets or people (it’s only spread by mosquitoes), and the shelter covers his treatment.
Foster to Adopt means you take Roswell HOME now as his foster family while he finishes treatment, and then you officially adopt him when the vet says he’s clear. You get to love him through it. He gets to heal in a real home, not a kennel.
During treatment, Roswell needs:
A quiet place to rest and recover — no marathons, no wild dog park wrestling for a few weeks (short, leash walks are perfect)
Lots of love, kindness, and patience while he adjusts
To come back to the shelter for his scheduled treatment appointments (we handle the medical — you provide the couch and cuddles).

About Roswell:
Roswell is 80 lbs of fun, he loves to run and play.
He is 80 lbs of PURE JOY. Big, bouncy, happy, goofy, young-dog fun. He LOVES to run. Loves to play. He’s got that big, open-mouthed, tongue-out, “let’s GO!” smile. At 2 years old, every day is the best day ever if there’s a toy or a game involved.
Because of his young age, Roswell would benefit from learning a few basic commands.
He’s young, he’s enthusiastic, and he never really had anyone to teach him the basics. Sit? Stay? Down? He’s like “I can learn! I can learn! Do I get a treat?!” He would benefit from learning a few basic commands, but he is sweet, friendly, and SO eager to please. He just needs a family who will be his teacher and his cheerleader.
Roswell is sweet, friendly and seems open to getting to know other dogs (meet and greet required).
Sweet? 100%. Friendly? Absolutely. He seems open to getting to know other dogs — tail waggy, curious, friendly vibes. Because he was a stray that was never claimed, we do not currently know how he would be with other pets or small kids, so a meet and greet is required if you have another dog at home.
Roswell is hoping to find a loving home where he is given love and kindness while he adjusts.
He’s a stray dog who just wants a soft place to land while his heart heals — literally. He needs love and kindness while he adjusts to home life, to having a person, to learning that he never has to wander again.
He has already been through so much. Heartworm treatment is his last big hurdle, and he shouldn’t have to do it alone in a kennel.
Will you be his foster-to-adopt hero? Will you be the one who says, “I’ve got you, Roswell, we’ll get through this together”?

Foster him. Love him. Heal him. Adopt him. 🚀

Well hello there. I'm Aldo.
I'm 12 years old. A gentleman. A senior. A male. I've been around the block.
I was surrendered, through no fault of my own. Sometimes life changes, and it's not anyone's fault. But here I am, and I'm still a very good boy.
I am a sweet senior. I get right up when you open my cage — I do! I came right up for pets. I immediately started purring and eating. Priorities, you know?
I am so sweet. I rub all over you. All over you! I am gentle and very loving. I enjoy all the attention you can give me. More? More attention? Yes please.
I don't know how I would be with other pets or kids yet — they don't know that about me — but I know how I am with people. I'm wonderful with people.
I'm looking for a loving home to live out my senior years. A soft place. Where I will receive love, kindness and care. Where I can purr and rub and eat and be loved every day for the rest of my days.

Senior cats have a lot of love left. I have a lot left.

Love you already,
Aldo

From a neglected pup to a thriving girl who is now ready to find that perfect forever family.

Hi, I'm Anikka. It means gracious in Scandinavian.
I think that's pretty. I want to be gracious.
I haven't had the best start in life. I was found abandoned behind a home, thin and sickly... I didn't feel very gracious then. I just felt tired and hungry.
Then I was brought here, to Oakland County. And they helped me. They fed me and cared for me and now I'm looking and feeling MUCH better! My tail wags again. That feels good.
Overall, I'm sweet and friendly. That's what they tell me. I love people. I LOVE food — I'm very food motivated, so if you have treats, we are already best friends — and I love affection and pets from people. All the pets, please.
Because I was a stray before, they don't know yet how I would be with small kids or other pets. I haven't met them yet. So we'll need to go slow and figure it out together.
What I really hope for? A home where I am loved and cared for and treated as a valued member of the family. Not left behind. Not forgotten. Just... home. With my own bed and my own bowl and my own people.
I'm ready to be gracious, if you'll let me.
With love and wags,
Anikka (recovering & ready to love again).

Eileen: 81 lbs of Pure Sunshine & Tail Wags ☀️🐾
Meet Eileen — 3 years old, 81 pounds, and every single pound is wags, wiggles, and doggy smiles.
Eileen is 81 lbs. of tail wags and doggy smiles. That’s it. That’s the whole dog. You say her name and her whole butt goes. You look at her and she smiles — that big, soft, open-mouthed, “I’m so happy you exist” dog smile. She’s the kind of dog who makes a bad day better just by walking into the room. She’s sunshine in a big, beautiful, blocky-headed package.
Eileen was a stray that was never claimed by an owner, so for this reason we do not currently know how she would be with small kids or other pets. She was found alone, no collar, no microchip, no one came looking. She waited her stray hold, tail still wagging, hoping someone would come. No one did. So we don’t know her past. We don’t know if she’s ever lived with kids, cats, or another dog. What we do know? She’s handled everything — being lost, being alone, being in a loud kennel — with grace and a wagging tail.
What we do know is that Eileen is friendly and social, she loves to be with people. She is a PEOPLE dog. If there’s a person, she wants to be near them. Not in a pushy way — in a gentle, leaning-in, “I just like being where you are” way. She loves saying hi. She loves leaning for pets. She loves being included. She would not be a backyard-only dog. She wants to be in the house, part of the family, part of the action. Couch, walk, car ride, kitchen while you cook — she’s there.
She loves walks and playtime and seems interested in getting to know other dogs (hoping to have a playgroup with her soon). Give her a leash and she lights up. Sniff everything? Yes please. Play with a toy? She’s in. Other dogs? She’s curious in the best way — soft body, waggy tail, interested sniffs through the fence. We haven’t done a full playgroup yet, but we’re hoping to soon to learn more. For now, she’s shown friendly, social interest — no reactivity, just “Hi! Who are you? Wanna be friends?” energy.
Eileen is hoping to find a loving home where she will be given love, time and kindness while she adjusts to new surroundings. She’s been through a lot. She doesn’t need perfect. She needs patient. She needs a family who understands that going from stray to shelter to home is a lot, and will give her a few weeks to decompress, learn your routine, and realize she’s safe for good. Give her love, give her time, give her kindness — and she will give you 81 pounds of loyalty for the rest of her life.

I'm Patrice...
I'm 9 weeks old. I'm a girl. I'm this big. holds up tiny paw
I haven't had much human interaction so far in my young life, so I might come off as hissy or flighty... hiss? No no — I'm sorry! I'm not mean, I'm just scared!
Humans are still kinda new to me. I'm still learning that you aren't all bad. I'm still learning that you might be here to show me love and kindness. That's a big thing to learn when you're only 9 weeks old!
Besides being... you know... ridiculously adorable... I love to nap. I love to PLAY. Like, pounce and wiggle and chase-my-tail play. Then nap again. It's a very busy schedule.
I'm hoping to find a loving home where someone will give me time to adjust to new surroundings. I don't need perfect, I just need patient. Sit with me. Talk soft to me. Let me sniff you. Let me learn.
I want to be brave. I think I can be, with you.
tiny purrs,
Patrice — 9wk Female / Hiss Today, Kiss Tomorrow / Professional Napper.
