Meet Boots! ❤️
This sweet young guy has spent his life so far at the end of a chain. But thankfully, that all changed when he was rescued!
Boots is quickly learning what life inside a home is all about, and he's doing GREAT! He's such a sweet boy who loves everyone he meets and is soaking up all the love and attention he's been missing.
We've already taken care of his vaccinations, deworming, flea/tick/heartworm prevention, and microchip. Now all he needs is a family to call his own!
Boots has already gotten his second chance. Now we're hoping for one more miracle — a forever home for this very deserving boy. ❤️

Hi! My name is Apple!
I’m about 2 years old, and not too long ago, I gave birth to my three tiny babies outside in the mud. Thankfully, we were rescued just in time, and now my babies are safe, warm, and growing bigger every day. ❤️
I’ve been an amazing momma, but soon it will be my turn to find someone to take care of me.
Everyone who meets me says I’m just about the perfect girl. I have the sweetest eyes and an even sweeter personality. I’m calm, gentle, affectionate, and I absolutely LOVE to cuddle and give hugs. I don’t ask for much—I just want to be close to my people and feel loved.

About 2 years old
Dog friendly

Sweet with everyone she meets
And seriously… those eyes. ❤️
My babies will be ready for their forever homes in about 6 weeks, and once my job as Momma is done, I’ll be ready for my forever home too!
After everything I’ve been through, I’m still one of the gentlest, most trusting girls you could ever meet. I’ve taken such good care of my babies. Now I’m hoping there’s a family out there ready to love and take care of me. ❤️

9. Charlie
To apply to adopt:
Go to our website - adopt - dog - scroll to adoption application - click
Adoption fee is $250 - dogs are microchipped, spayed/neutered, and UTD on all prevention before adoption. Charlie's updates will be finalized on November 4th and we will begin reviewing applications at that time.
Charlie has been bounced around since he was a puppy. He finally had a home for the last six years of his life when his person passed away. Afterwards, Charlie was attacked by his caretakers dog and they knew that Charlie would have to find a new home.
Read more about Charlie
Charlie is a Coton de Tulear (or a mix). He is 7 years old. At 12.5lbs, Charlie is overweight and is working on potty training. He is good with cats.
Charlie needs an experienced owner as he is cautious of strangers and has never been around children. He has never been properly socialized and needs a great deal of time to warm up. Most importantly, Charlie will need lots of structure (as he is used to getting his own way) and safety. Structure and safety create stability and that is the most important requirement to adopt Charlie.

13. Lark
LARK IS STILL WAITING — SHE JUST NEEDS SOMEONE TO SAY YES. Kentucky 2-year-old female Malinois Good with cats Dog neutral / friendly Sweet, loving & affectionate Lower drive for a young Malinois Seems to really want her own person Beautiful Girl! Meet Lark. We’ve learned so much more about this beautiful girl, and every update makes us want to get her OUT of the shelter even more.Lark is showing us that she is a sweet, loving girl who simply wants a person of her own. And this girl LOVES to give hugs. She’s friendly, dog neutral, good with cats, and has a lower drive than you might expect from a young Malinois.
Read more about Lark
She is the kind of dog who seems to really want that connection with her person — the attention, the affection, the closeness. She wants someone she can love and trust. She’s looking for her person. Someone who will give her a safe place to land. Someone who will let her decompress. Someone who will give her the time and patience to figure out what life is supposed to feel like outside of a shelter. And just look at her — Lark is looking fantastic. She has already shown everyone how wonderful she can be. Now we need to give her the opportunity to truly relax, settle in, and show us who she is when she isn't surrounded by the stress of a shelter environment. It could be the difference between continuing to wait behind kennel doors and finally getting to experience a soft bed, a routine, a yard, a couch, a person to love, and a place she can finally call safe. Her puppies have been given their chance. Now it’s Lark’s turn. She has spent enough time waiting. #MADRescue #MADRescueDogs #MADRescueMalinois #MalinoisInNeed #FosterSavesLives #FosterNeeded #RescueMalinois #MalinoisRescue #AdoptDontShop #RescueMe #SaveLark #FosterARescue All MAD dogs come with a Fi Collar and six month subscription. ***************If you are interested in adopting this pet, please complete an application at this link: https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/24689/generic. ***************MAD is an official 501c3 organization that does not have a physical location.

Adopting a dog in Frankenmuth
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
