💜🐾✨Meet Peri!💜🐾✨

This tender-hearted two-year-old shepherd mix is kind as they come! If you're looking for a snuggle buddy for the cold winter ahead, all 58 pounds of Peri is ready to keep you warm!👍🏻

Peri is enjoying some well-deserved time in a fabulous foster home and we've learned so much about her! Not only is she ✨house-trained and ✨crate-trained, she's a true snuggle bug! Though timid when you first meet her, she adores her people! Her favorite pastime is cozying up on the couch and is ready to binge watch your favorite show with you. She appreciates all sorts of treats and there is no issue taking food/toys away from her.💜

Peri gets along well with her fellow canine and feline foster siblings. 🐶🐈 She isn't currently one for playing all that much, but her laid-back manner makes for a relaxing vibe around the house. Peri would love to have a yard of her own to enjoy and will need daily exercise in her new home. She has excellent recall and aims to please. She also does very well on leash and also in the car. 🚗 At the end of the day, Peri sleeps quietly through the night in her crate and doesn't even snore!!

Based on our evaluation, we feel Peri would do best in an active, but predictable environment with adults or families with kids ages eight and up. We feel she has the capacity to live with both dogs and cats as she's done very well with both of them in her foster home. We are happy to do a meet and greet with your family fur baby. 🐾

If Peri sounds like your kind of pal, head to greatlakesdogrescue.com today and submit your application for easy-going gal!😍

💞🌸🐾Meet Kiara!💞🌸🐾

This 50-pound, one-year-old mixed breed beauty has a dazzling smile and cheerful disposition that can't be beat!

Before coming to GLDR, Kiara was in foster with other dogs and cats and did great with all of them. She lived with another GLDR pup Poppy, and the two are good buds. Not just a pretty face, Kiara knows "sit" and is capable of learning so much more. She is eager to learn and we know she will make you proud. Continued training will make her the best girl she can be!🥹

Kiara has a great time in the yard and her new family will need to devote time to keep her exercised daily. She will thrive with enrichment and being part of day to day activities. A yard for her to enjoy is a must for this upbeat pup!🐾

➡️An amazing volunteer took Kiara on an outing, and she truly appreciated the experience! Kiara behaved exceptionally well in the car and is an enthusiastic snuggler. They indulged in a pup cup and shared a hash brown, which Kiara thoroughly enjoyed. Their adventure included a visit to Seymour Lake, where they walked through the park and disc golf course. Kiara relished the opportunity to explore, eagerly sniffing everything around her, filled with curiosity about the outside world. She ended the day by peacefully falling asleep in the car, snoozing the entire way back to the kennel. ☺️Kiara was the perfect companion and would undoubtedly be a wonderful addition to any family.

Based on our evaluation, we feel Kiara would do best in an active home with adults or families with kids ages eight and up. We feel she has the potential to live in a home with other dogs and cats as she has done so in the past. We are happy to go a meet and greet with your family fur baby.🐾🐶

If you'd like the chance to make Kiara a part of your clan, head to greatlakesdogrescue.com today and submit your application today!🙏🏼

💙🙌🏻🐾Meet Tank!🙌🏻💙🐾

✨ATTENTION LAB LOVERS!!✨

This three-year-old handsome hunk of a lab is the missing piece you've been waiting for! He's 77 pounds of good time goofiness that will brighten anyone's day!

An explorer at heart, Tank's curious and fun-loving nature makes him the ultimate companion. He's good on leash and will make an excellent walking/hiking buddy. 🐾Tank loves to spend his time sniffing every inch of the yard and running the fence with his canine companions. Due to his adventurous nature, our boy will require a tall (6ft) fenced-in yard in his new home.

Not just a handsome face, Tank is so much more! 🎉House-trained and 🎉crate-trained, Tank aims to please. He was lucky enough to spend a few days away from the kennel and had a blast. He gets along well with other dogs his size, though he does tend to chase cats and other small animals, so he'll need to go to a family without any small furry friends.

➡️Some of our fabulous volunteers whisked Tank away on an adventure, and let me tell you, he was living his best life! Tank was the ultimate co-pilot, rocking it in the car like a champ! They explored the stunning Metamora State Park with a three-mile stroll! When they encountered other pups or people on the trail, Tank was a total gentleman on the leash. And oh boy, did he love the water (typical Lab)! To top off the fun, they treated Tank to a pup cup that he devoured with pure joy! These volunteers couldn't stop gushing about Tank's sweetness and smarts!

Tank is a very capable guy, who knows "sit" and is ready to learn even more. He's very food-motivated which will be a benefit when training him. He always takes his treats gently and is so much fun to be around. As he's still a younger pup, he will thrive on daily exercise and mental stimulation in his new home.💙

Based on our evaluation, we feel Tank would do best in an active home with adults or families with kids ages eight and up. He may have the potential to live with other dogs and we are happy to do a meet and greet with your family fur baby.🐶

If you think Tank is your kind of pup, head to greatlakesdogrescue.com today and submit your application for this lovable lab!💙

💙😍🐾Meet Chris!💙😍🐾

This adorable one-year-old old lab mix weighs in at 35 pounds and ready, willing and very able to be your best bud!👍🏻

Chris is currently loving his time in his foster home and his foster mom can't get over how impressive he is! He is very well-mannered, ✨house-trained, and ✨crate-trained! He will go to the door to let you know when he needs to go out. Chris looks forward to his daily walks and is great on leash. He will thrive on regular exercise and routine in his new home.🐾

Chris is a very capable pup and will benefit from continuing to training as he grows. His favorite treats include dried liver and chicken jerky. His eager optimism makes him an excellent student. What a great way to spend your time hanging out with this charming boy. A yard for him to enjoy will be a great way to keep him happily engaged.🙏🏼

After his exercise, Chris likes to slide into his crate for a nice nap. Throughout the day, he enjoys keeping himself entertained and will toss a kong around for his amusement. Don't worry though, Chris always makes time for some cuddles! 🥹Up for a road trip? Chris is also great in the car. 🚗Before bed he enjoys a brief zoomie session and then it's off to bed, thankful for the time with his foster family.

Based on our evaluation, we feel Chris will do well in an active home with adults or families with kids ages eight and up. He may have the ability to live in a home with other animals. We are happy to do a meet and greet with your family fur baby.🐶🐾

If you think he's the pup for you, head to greatlakesdogrescue.com today and submit your application for our cutie pie Chris!👍🏻

💞🌸🐾Meet Harley! 💞🌸🐾

This adorable boxer babe is three years old and weighs in around 60 pounds. She is eagerly awaiting a family that will love her for the wonderful pup she is!

Before coming to GLDR, Harley spent some time in a home so we have lots of great info to share with you! Harley is both ✨crate-trained and ✨house-trained! She also knows tons of commands! When it comes time to play, she is ready and willing to have a good time! She likes her stuffed toys and enjoys chasing a ball. Playing tug is her favorite! A fenced in yard for her to romp in is a must for this fun-loving pup!🙏🏼

Harley is admittedly a little overweight, so her new family will need to commit to daily exercise and a healthy diet to ensure she is living her best life. She loves going for walks and will require a harness lead to help keep her focused and safe. Harley needs an experienced adopter who is ready to train her and form a lifelong bond. ❤️Harley does well in the car and would make an excellent copilot. At the end of the day, Harley is content to sleep quietly through the night in her crate.

Based on our evaluation, Harley would do best in an active home with adults or families with kids ages eight and up. She lived with kids before and adores them! Although Harley is dog selective, we feel she would do best as the only animal in the home.🐾

If you think you could be the family to give Harley the forever home she deserves, please visit greatlakesdogrescue.com today and submit your application for Harley.💓

💙✨🐾Meet Binx!💙✨🐾

‼️✨Where are all our husky lovers??‼️✨

Binx is a stunning one-year-old, 53-pound husky mix whose happy-go-lucky personality will have you wondering just how you lived without him!☺️

Like most huskies, Binx is an intrepid adventurer! Given his fun-loving willingness to explore, a tall, fenced-in yard is a requirement for our boy so he can enjoy the yard safely. 🙏🏼Binx is a pup that will thrive with daily exercise and mental stimulation. He looks forward to his time with volunteers and quickly forms a connection with his people. He'll also benefit from continued training in his forever home.🐾

➡️Some fabulous volunteers whisked Binx away for an epic day of fun! They hit up Metamora State Park and strolled three miles like pros. Binx was a superstar in the car and rocked his leash like a champ! This little bundle of energy is on the hunt for an active family to join him on his adventures! He met some fellow park-goers and was just a curious pup, checking them out! He took a sip from the river but decided to keep his paws dry-smart move! And of course, he savored every last drop of his delicious pup cup! Check out his adorable pictures from this outing! He is so handsome!😍

Based on our evaluation, we feel Binx would do best in an active home with adults or families with kids ages eight and up. He may have the potential to live in a home with other dogs of a similar energy level. We are happy to do a meet and greet with your family fur baby.🐶

If you think Binx is the pup you've been searching for, head to greatlakesdogrescue.com and submit your application for our bubbly boy!🐾

This lively, 40-pound pharaoh hound/lab mix is almost two years old and is eagerly looking forward to experiencing all life has to offer with a family!

Geri came to us from one of our rescue partners and we are so glad to have her here at GLDR! ❤️ Her blue and brown eyes captivate you from the start. 👀 She is a social gal who can wiggle with the best of them. Geri loves being outside and is great on a leash. Her new family will need to commit to keeping her active and engaged. A yard for her to enjoy is a must for this spectacular pup! 🐾

One look into those endearing eyes and we hope you fall for her just like the rest of us have. Pinky recently had a week-long STRAYCATION and she didn't disappoint! This girl was the BEST houseguest and will make one lucky family very happy! Here's what we learned!⬇️⬇️⬇️ Not just a pretty face, Pinky is a very smart, capable girl. She knows her basic commands and will gladly show them off for a tasty treat which she takes gently. She enjoys her soft, chewy treats and is also a fan of chicken! Her foster mom was able to take toys away with no issue. ➡️ 🎉She is also house-trained and crate trained!🎉 Before coming to GLDR, she was in a foster home with other dogs and did well with them, though we are told she may like to chase cats so better to avoid those in her new home. She did visit with another pup during her straycation and did great! This girl loves to LOVE! Though she can be a little hesitant when she first meets you, she actively asks for affection and will never turn down a belly rub. She'll even nudge your hand for some petting and is a very tolerant girl! Building a lifelong bond with her will be something that will bring you joy for years to come. When it comes to toys, the squeakier the better, though she doesn't limit her playtime to just one type of toy. She will need some durable toys and loves to toss them around while she plays. She does have a rougher play style and will thrive with daily exercise and mental stimulation. Our girl loves hanging outside and a fenced in yard for her to enjoy is a must for our precious Pinky. 💕She does need an experienced handler on leash and we think with consistent training, she will continue to improve.

🐾😍❣️Meet Thad! 🐾😍❣️ 🙏🏼BEEN AT GLDR SINCE MARCH-ZERO APPLICATIONS :-( DOING GREAT IN HIS FOSTER HOME!🥺 Athletic and intelligent, Thad is a hunk of a hound dog. At three years old and 70 pounds, he's the perfect balance of low-key loyalty and sniffing sleuth. After sitting in the kennel since March with no interest, Thad is now getting a much-deserved break in a great foster home! Not only is Thad one handsome fellow, he's a great houseguest! House-trained and crate-trained, he's got it all! Thad is very treat and toy-motivated, though plush toys don't stand a chance against him! Training will be an excellent way to form a lasting bond with Thad. He already knows "sit" and is capable of so much more. He's a rockstar on a leash and would love to join you on a long walk where he can sniff till his heart is content. Thad currently lives with another pup in the home and does well with her. Thad is protective of his toys, so his new family will need to work with him on trading up for other toys and treats. He's done wonderful learning "drop it" and we are confident he will continue to improve. He's slowly getting used to their cat and we think he may have the potential to live with a feline friend in his new home. Thad loves his time in the yard and enjoys chatting it up with the other pups in the yard. He keeps himself entertained by tossing the ball around and has the best time! A fenced-in yard for him to enjoy at home would be wonderful for him so he can explore in safety. Thad loves to be outside and will make an excellent walking/hiking buddy for you! He is also great in the car and is ready to join you on your next adventure! Based on our evaluation, we feel Thad would do well in an active home with adults or families with kids ages 16 and up. He may have the ability to live with other dogs and we are happy to do a meet and greet with your family fur baby. If you're looking for an independent guy who is up for adventure, then you'

As he is still a young man, he will benefit from continued training as he grows. Hobbs loves all sorts of toys and likes spending his days lounging in the grass enjoying the sunshine. At the end of the day, he sleeps quietly though the night. Could Hobbs be your new best friend? Don’t hesitate! Visit greatlakesdogrescue.com and submit your application for this delightful pup! Let’s show him that his brightest days are just ahead!
