Tatiana has been waiting 170 days for someone to change her world. 💔🐾

At 5.5 years old and 63 pounds, Tatiana is the definition of resilience and love. This sweet girl was found roaming the streets of Pontiac, skinny and malnourished, with nobody looking out for her. Thankfully, those days are behind her. ❤️

Since coming into care, Tatiana has gained the weight she needed and let her true personality shine. Now she’s a happy, playful girl who greets life with a wagging tail and a smile! 🥰🐕

Tatiana’s favorite things include:
🍖 Food (she never misses snack time!)
🛋️ Cuddling with her favorite people
🎾 Playing and showing off her goofy side
💕 Being loved and giving that love right back

Despite everything she’s been through, Tatiana has remained one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. She has so much love to give and is patiently waiting for a family to finally choose her. 🏡✨

After 170 days of waiting, don’t you think it’s Tatiana’s turn? 💖 Adopt this amazing girl and give her the forever home she’s been dreaming of. 🐾🌟

💙 4 MONTHS IS TOO LONG TO WAIT FOR A NEW BEGINNING. 💙

3-year-old Ace is a sweet, laid-back boy who has been patiently waiting for someone to see what an absolute GEM he is. 🥹🐾

Ace came into the shelter as a neglect case, and after everything he’s been through, all he wants now is what every dog deserves: a family, a soft place to land, and people to call his own. ❤️

At just 39 pounds, Ace is the perfect size — pint-sized enough to fit right into your life, but with a BIG heart! He absolutely loves being wherever his people are and has been amazing on his Saturday adventures. 🥰

✨ Great with kids of all ages
✨ Food motivated 🍖
✨ Great in the car 🚗
✨ Walks well on leash
✨ Loves his people
✨ Has done well with other dogs with proper introductions
✨ We think Ace would benefit having a confident fur sibling to feel safe with
✨ Always up for an adventure!

Ace has shown us time and time again what a wonderful companion he can be outside of the shelter. He goes from shy and nervous at the shelter to a boy who is happy to explore, happy to hang with his people, and happiest when he’s simply included. ❤️

Four months of waiting is already far too long for this sweet boy. He shouldn’t have to spend another day wondering when his turn will come.

Ace is ready. His bags are packed. He just needs YOU. 🥹🐶💙

Interested in giving Ace his fresh start? Meet & greets are always required for any resident dogs.

🐾 Please share Ace so we can help his person find him! Located in Pontiac MI.

🐾💔 Twiggy is still waiting… 💔🐾

At 4 years old, Twiggy has spent far too long wondering when it will finally be his turn. While other dogs have come and gone, Twiggy continues to wait patiently for a family of his own.

Recently, Twiggy got a chance to enjoy a sleepover away from the shelter, and he was everything you could hope for in a companion. 🏡❤️

✨ No accidents in the house, he appears to be potty trained!
✨ Wonderful house manners.
✨ Slept peacefully through the night curled up in bed.
✨ Fantastic in the car and happy to ride along wherever life takes you. 🚗
✨ Walks nicely on leash and enjoys taking his time to stop and sniff the world around him. 🌳🐾
✨ Was left alone several times and handled it like a champ.
✨ Toys? Not really his thing. Twiggy would much rather spend his time snuggled up next to his favorite person. 🥹❤️

Twiggy isn’t asking for much. He doesn’t need fancy toys or endless entertainment. He just wants what every dog deserves, a soft bed, a loving family, and someone to cuddle with at the end of the day.

After waiting so long, our hearts break a little more every time we bring him back to his kennel. 💔🏠

Please help us find Twiggy the home he’s been dreaming of. He has waited long enough.

🐶 4 years old
💕 Professional cuddler
🏡 Ready for a forever home

Can you be the one to finally tell Twiggy his wait is over? 🥺🐾❤️ Located in Pontiac MI

ADOPTED!

😴💤 SLEEPOVER SATURDAY 😴💤 featuring long term resident CORTEZ! 🌊🐟💙

🐾 Meet Cortez! 🐾

Cortez is a 6.5-year-old, 74 lb sweetheart who has been patiently waiting for a home since March 29th. While shelter life has been stressful for him, a recent sleepover reminded everyone just how amazing he is outside of the kennel environment. ❤️

🚗 Amazing in the car! He hops right in and enjoys the ride while taking in the scenery.

🌊 Water lover alert! Cortez absolutely loves pools, lakes, and splashing through the waves. He can even swim! Watching his zoomies in the water is guaranteed to make you smile.

🏡 A true gentleman in the home. He doesn’t jump on furniture unless invited and has wonderful house manners.

💙 Easygoing, affectionate, and ready to be someone’s best friend, Cortez is looking for a family that will give him the chance he’s been waiting so long for.

After months in the shelter, Cortez deserves to trade his kennel for a cozy couch, lake adventures, and a family to call his own. Could that be you? 🐾✨

CHAPO.
We have to get this sweet boy out of the shelter for good! Someone has to be looking for a low-key, mild mannered mature boy. He has been at the Oakland County Animal Control & Pet Adoption Center in Pontiac, MI since January, and we say ENOUGH of that.

Being a larger dog (70ish lbs), black in color and a senior at 9 years old are all strikes against him. He has been passed over way too many times. People don't see his calm nature, his easy walking pace, his happy go lucky attitude. And this boy does not act like he is 9, see the video!

He is a happy, confident, healthy dog and when he gets his sleepovers away from the shelter, he fits right in and is the perfect guest. Loves the car rides too.

If you're looking for an easy boy, and honestly, he probably isn't a long term commitment at his age, sad to say, but he still deserves a home to grow realllllly old in. Check him out. He's a prize!

Cats unknown, needs meet and greet for dogs.

EZZIEBELA IS READY FOR HER TURN. 💔

Ezziebela is 3 years old, 65 lbs, and has been waiting at the shelter since 9/24/25. A whole year. 😭

She arrived with another dog, Boss. Boss found an amazing family, and that family recently gave Ezziebela the most wonderful gift—a weekend away from the shelter. ❤️

And she showed everyone exactly what she’s been waiting for.

🏡 She loved being in a home.
🪟 She happily watched wildlife through the window.
🐾 She curled up comfortably in a dog bed.
❤️ She snuggled with her humans.
🍽️ She enjoyed good meals with even better company.

For one weekend, Ezziebela got to experience what it feels like to belong somewhere.

Now she’s back at the shelter, waiting for someone to choose her.

Ezziebela doesn’t have a mean bone in her body. She is a sweet girl who deserves more than kennel walls. She deserves a soft bed, peaceful mornings, a window to watch the world from, and people of her very own.

Boss got his happy ending. Please help Ezziebela find hers. 🥺❤️

Someone out there is exactly what she needs. Please give this beautiful girl a chance.
