9. Finley
Young (2 years) · Male · Labrador Retriever (medium coat) · 4 mi from Westland





Meet Finley-Finn, one of our newest residents at the Mikey & Me Kennels for Happy Days Rescue.
Finn is a 2 year old Black Lab mix and he’s slowly learning that the world can be a safe and exciting place. We are looking to place Finn into a loving Foster home while he continues to embrace his new life. Mikey & Me and Happy Days Rescue will cover all standard expenses while Finn is being fostered.
Read more about Finley
Finn arrived at Mikey & Me in late August and he was afraid to go outside. But he is beginning to overcome this fear with noticeable improvement every day. He came to us underweight but he is gradually gaining weight and feeling better. Thankfully, he tested negative for Heart Worm disease at his first Vet appt. in Dexter.
While he may be reserved with new people at first, Finn’s gentle nature shines through once he begins to feel comfortable. Even with his current level of fear, Finn has never growled, tried to nip, or reacted in any way to any of our 70+ volunteers. Finn does well with other dogs and seems to gain confidence when he has canine companions around. He would likely thrive in a home with another friendly, well-balanced dog who can help show him the ropes and boost his confidence.
Finn is very sweet at heart and just needs patience, kindness, and time to fully open up. In the right home, he has all the potential to grow into a loyal, loving companion who bonds deeply with his person.
If you’re unable to Foster, please consider sharing this post to help Finn find a safe, loving, and quiet home. When he’s ready, his foster family will have the first chance at adopting Finn into their home.

Meet Marko—aka Juggernaut!
Estimated date of birth: June 16, 2026
Marko was found wandering the streets by a group of children with a very large hernia. Thankfully, a rescue stepped in, had his hernia repaired and had him neutered. He is healing well and is now ready to find his forever home!
Marko is an active, vocal and delightfully sassy puppy. He will need a patient, committed family that understands puppy behavior and is willing to continue his training as he grows.
Read more about Marko
He has already shown interest in going potty outside and will go while on a leash, so he is getting a great start on both house-training and basic leash skills. Like any young puppy, he will need consistency, supervision, appropriate outlets for his energy and plenty of positive reinforcement.
If you’re looking for a spirited little superhero and are ready to put in the time that puppyhood requires, Marko may be the perfect addition to your family!
21. Oscar
Young (9 months) · Male · Cocker Spaniel (medium coat) · 17 mi from Westland

He’s up to date on all vaccinations, preventatives, and has completed all blood work. Oscar is playful, loving, and great with other animals. He would do well in a home with or without children, and he’s already housebroken, which is a big plus. He still needs training because he tends to dart out the front door, so a secure fenced backyard is important for him. Oscar has minor allergies and benefits from 2-3 allergy pills twice a day. He’s a happy, energetic pup eager for love, guidance, and the chance to enjoy a safe, happy life.If you think Oscar might be the right fit for your family, we’d love for you to apply and help him find his forever home.

22. Lucky
Young (2 years 6 months) · Male · Pit Bull Terrier / Staffordshire Bull Terrier / Mixed · 10 mi from Westland



Courtesy Post for LuckyMeet Lucky, an male blue brindle boy estimated to be between 2 to 5 years old. Lucky has a sturdy, muscular build, a distinct brindle coat, striking amber eyes, and an expressive, handsome face.
Neighbors reported seeing a car driving around 10 mph out of the condo suburbs strike a dog matching his description, but thankfully, he doesn't seem to have sustained any serious injuries. He is currently eating, drinking, and moving around comfortably in our backyard setup. Lucky has a naturally calm demeanor, loves cuddles and kisses, and is a genuinely sweet companion. He knows how to sit, responds positively to car rides, and enjoys walks, though he does pull on the leash since he hasn't had much leash training.
He is friendly, non-aggressive, and submissive.
Read more about Lucky
While he doesn't mix well with our two very territorial female German Shepherds (Freda and Rika, who tend to be overly dominant with him), he has been observed to be good with children and other people.
Because we live in a small house where it's tough to keep him isolated, and my husband is dealing with a bulging disc and sciatica, we unfortunately cannot keep Lucky long-term. He is a wonderful dog looking for a responsible owner who can give him the permanent home and space he deserves.

Roman is definitely an attached-at-the-hip kind of dog. If his people are around, he wants to be right there with them. He loves being included and is happiest when he can hang out with his favorite humans.
He knows his sit and shake, and he is an absolute rockstar in the car.
Roman can be a little shy when meeting new people and needs some time to warm up. Give him about 30 minutes, though, and you may find this giant boy trying to climb right into your lap! ❤️ Once he knows you, he is incredibly affectionate and loves being close.
He is still working on a few things, too.
Read more about Roman
Roman isn't a huge fan of the crate yet, but he's learning to accept it and making progress. He hasn't shown much interest in toys so far, and the hose is definitely on his “no thank you” list.

If you're looking for a big, goofy, affectionate shadow who wants nothing more than to be by your side, Roman might be your guy.

24. Jv Litter Zena
Adult (4 years) · Female · American Pit Bull Terrier / Labrador Retriever / Mixed · 4 mi from Westland




Zena is a wonderful young lady. She loves to lay on our couch or bed and receive cuddles and scratches. She's friendly with everyone we've met so far, including other dogs, people, and kids. She does, however, have a strong prey drive and needs some work on leash training. But she does love going for a walk! She also loves our yard and would really benefit from a well-fenced yard and/or an active owner. I bet she'd be a good running companion. The two times she was off leash and out of our yard (unintentionally), she ranged around, sniffing for interesting prey items, but then returned, ecstatic to see us and our backyard.

She will make a great companion for an active owner and also a family that can provide lots of love and activity.

Pippa has settled into a routine like a champ and is discovering that being part of a family is pretty wonderful. While she's still building confidence, she's an independent, playful little lady who loves doing things at her own pace.
She gets along beautifully with other dogs and has been wonderful with children. Pippa is crate trained and absolutely loves her crate—it's her safe, happy place where she can relax and recharge.
She's making great progress with potty training and learning good manners every day.

Once they've fully recovered and are cleared for adoption, they'll be looking for patient, loving families who understand that they've had a difficult start. They'll need supportive homes where they can continue to heal, build confidence, and discover what it means to simply be happy puppies.
Their past does not define them—their future does. If you're looking to open your heart to a puppy who has already overcome so much, one of these little survivors may be the perfect addition to your family.
Because every survivor deserves a happily ever after. ❤️

Meet Our Little Survivors ❤️Zinnia- spunky loving and ready for a new home!
These three beautiful puppies were born on April 12, 2026, and their journey has already shown just how strong they are. They came into rescue after we were able to save them from a situation where they were being sold. Now, they're getting the chance they deserve—a future filled with love, safety, and kindness.
Right now, these brave little ones are fighting parvovirus, and they are showing us every day what true resilience looks like. They're receiving the care they need, and we're cheering them on as they continue their recovery.

29. Lucy
Adult (3 years 10 months) · Female · Husky / Pomeranian / Mixed · 24 mi from Westland



FOSTER OR FOSTER-TO-ADOPT NEEDED FOR LUCY
This beautiful girl is 4 years old, about 30 lbs., and believed to be a Husky/Pomeranian mix. Before coming to CCRC, Lucy was used for breeding and had never even stepped outside.
Imagine experiencing the world for the very first time at four years old.
Lucy has been slowly learning that life can be safe, kind, and even fun. She has already made so much progress, but now she needs a foster home or even better, a foster-to-adopt home
Lucy will need a safe, quiet space in the home where she can decompress and acclimate.
She needs someone patient who understands that new things will take her a little longer.

She has done amazing with the dogs she has met, so another friendly, confident dog could be a wonderful companion for her.
And you won’t be doing this alone. CCRC will set both you AND Lucy up for success. We provide the supplies, guidance, transportation and support you need along the way.
Lucy has spent enough of her life simply existing. Now we want her to learn what it means to be someone’s dog.
Can you be the person who helps Lucy take that next step?
Head on over to www.ccrcdogs.com if you are interested in Lucy. Even if you can’t foster, please SHARE this post for her.

30. Raven
Adult (3 years 4 months) · Female · Rottweiler / Labrador Retriever · 24 mi from Westland



Meet Raven!
Raven is a
3-year-old, 70-pound Rottweiler
with a big personality and an even bigger love for life!
Her foster says Raven is
fun, playful, affectionate, and full of enthusiasm
. One of her favorite things is a good game of tug, and when it comes to walks, she does really well on a 6-foot leash. She hasn’t worked much on a formal “heel” yet, but she’s already a great walking companion.
Raven
LOVES kids!
Because she’s a big, exuberant girl who sometimes forgets just how big she is, we think she’d be happiest with
older kids
who can handle her enthusiasm.

And Raven definitely knows how to play hard and nap hard! She’ll burn through her energy, take a quick snooze, and then wake up ready for round two.
Raven is looking for a family who will appreciate her goofy, energetic personality and continue helping her become the best girl she can be. If you’re looking for a
big, happy Rottie with lots of personality
, Raven may be your girl! ❤️

How to adopt from Cocker Nation Rescue of Michigan
The first step in adopting one of our rescue dogs is to fill out our online application. Once we receive the application, we will do a vet reference check. Once that is approved, we will contact the potential applicant to set up a home visit. Once the home visit is completed, we set up a meet and greet. If we feel the potential adopter is the best fit for the dog, and vice versa, the adoption will take place.
Adopting a dog in Westland
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.
