\nCrackers <\/strong>
\nCracker Jack here \u2013 or Crackers for short. I am an energetic little guy and will need an active home as I am full of energy. I love to take walks and I get really excited when the leash comes out! I must have a fenced in yard because if given the chance I will take myself for a run\u2026..and boy do I love to run! If you like to run I am the dog for you!
\nOh boy, we could run together! Please adopt me because my foster Mom says she\u2019s too old and overweight to run with me!
\nI am young and estimated to be around a year old. I am working on housetraining, but haven\u2019t quite got the hang of it yet. My foster Mom says I am doing well though. I am very smart and starting to learn some commands. I know \u201cstay\u201d so far and am working on \u201csit\u201d.
\nI am very friendly and love everyone I meet. I get along with other dogs and love to play but sometimes I get a little rambunctious. I am just a kid yet! I probably wouldn\u2019t do well in a home with cats as they don\u2019t appreciate my playfulness.
\nMy foster Mom says I am very funny, and sometimes I bark at my water dish when it gurgles after I take a drink. I am a happy go lucky kind of guy with a lot of personality. If you are looking for someone to have fun with, check me out! I am very loving, fun kind of guy!
\nThanks for reading about me.
\nYour soon-to-be new best friend.
\nIf you have any questions, please email julemson@wmol.com<\/a>.
\nThis dog is fostered in Grand Rapids.

Breanne <\/strong>
\nBreanne came from a shelter underweight, sores on the bottoms of her paws, nails worn down to stubs, hair falling out, and acted like she had never drank water in her life. We think that she was kept in a crate for the first five months of her life based on the sores on her paws and the fact that she paced in circles. Since being in foster care, she has put on weight, her fur is full and healthy, her paws have healed, and her pacing has greatly improved.
\nTo top things off Breanne is deaf and had never been worked with. But, within the first week of being in foster care, she responded immediately to hand signals. Since then she progresses with her learning and is always looking for her foster mom to signal her with something to do. She is very smart!
\nAlong with a spunky personality, Breanne has the most comical ears. They flip around every which way, from being folded in the middle, to one being straight up and the other down. Her ears are always whirling around in different directions. Just when she’s has gotten caught getting into mischief, she will look at you with an incredibly cute expression and her ears will flop into a pose. It’s very hard to not laugh!
\nShe loves playing with her fur friends and loves people of all ages. Now that summer is here, she can’t wait until the pool gets filled everyday. She will pace around until her foster mom finishes filling it and then jump in! With her fur friends she wrestles and plays tug with toys. She even tries to play with the cat in the house and seems to get disappointed when the cat walks away.
\nBreanne is potty and crate trained. It is required that Breanne be adopted out to a home that has a fenced in yard, and this does not include invisible fencing.
\nPlease note: Breanne will not be adopted outside the state of Michigan!

Deacon <\/strong>
\nLooking into Deacon\u2019s eyes you would never know the struggles that he has endured in his short life. Deacon was originally surrendered to a shelter in Indiana. And after the long trip to Lansing, he was only in his foster home for a couple days before he fell very ill and was diagnosed with Parvo. Parvo is a virus that infects dogs that are not properly vaccinated and can be fatal, especially in puppies. But this tenacious pup beat the odds and pulled through!!! Today, Deacon is fully recuperated from his illness and is in good health.
\nAlso as part of his journey, Deacon was already adopted once. But unfortunately he was returned to APB after that family decided he just wasn\u2019t the right match after all. Deacon needs adopters who are willing to work with him and understand his needs as a young, large, energetic dog.
\nOverall, Deacon is just an awesome dog. He is very loving and playful. He loves to snuggle, but doesn\u2019t quite understand that he\u2019s not lap-dog size. He loves to run and play with the other dogs (both big and small) in his foster home. Deacon is very smart and learns quickly. He knows his basic commands: sit, lay down, come, go outside, etc. He also knows how to shake and give a high five. Deacon does well on car rides, and likes to go on walks.
\nDeacon has a very gentle soul, but he is still fairly young, so when he gets excited, he can be jumpy or mouthy. His foster mom is working on these training issues with him. But he could benefit from the training and bonding of an obedience class when he finds his fur-ever home.
\nDeacon is used to being crated during the day, but he\u2019s not a fan of it and can be a bit of an escape artist. His foster mom can give you a recommendation in the best way to contain him. Deacon is housetrained, and he is trained to use a bell hung next to the door as a signal to go outside.
\nDeacon likes children. But he\u2019s just a kid himself and doesn\u2019t know his own strength, so his foster mom recommends that he be supervised around children.
