PREFERS A HOME WITHOUT
Cats, children
If you’re looking for a dog who’s equal parts fun, brains, and a little bit of a lovable rascal, then look no further—I’m your guy! I’ve got a serious passion for tug of war, and I can promise you’ll never have a dull moment with me around! I’m smart as a whip and know a bunch of commands, but I’ll admit, I do like to “boof” and be a little bit pushy for what I want. What can I say? I’m a dog who knows how to get the good stuff in life—like being spoiled by my favorite humans!
Now, let’s talk about my signature look. When I first arrived at MAS, I had some skin issues and allergies that made me lose a lot of hair on my back. My skin’s doing a lot better now, but my fur? Not so much. But hey, bald is beautiful, baby! I like to think of it as my unique style — less fur, but more personality!
Another thing, I’m not a fan of cats…not even a little bit. And I need my space to be the star of the show, so I would be best suited for a home without young kids. Let’s be honest—I’m basically a big kid myself! I love rolling around in the grass, soaking up the sun (thank you SPF), and living for the next snack time. If you’ve got treats, we’re already halfway to being best buds.
The best part? I’m available for both adoption and fostering! That’s right—you can take me home on a trial run to make sure we’re the perfect match! So, what are you waiting for? Head over to the MAS website right now and apply to adopt or foster me! Seriously, go do it. Now. I’m waiting!

Whisper is a 35 pound, 6 year old Cattle Dog Mix with gorgeous markings and the very best smile !! This sweet soul had a rough start to her life, and so she can take a moment to warm up to new people and situations. She is flourishing in her foster home, and she is learning how to dog. It’s precious. She gives the most endearing kisses and hugs; and she has the most adorable slow tail wag when she’s happy. We adore her. Whisper is doing a fantastic job with her house training; she eats and sleeps in her crate but doesn’t like to be left in it alone, but she does great when left out. She does very well with other dogs. She would prefer a home without very small children. Whisper is spayed and up to date on shots. Her adoption fee is $250. To adopt Whisper apply online. This dog is located in Midland, MI

GOOD IN A HOME WITH
Other cats, children
Meet Francine, a beautiful female tortoiseshell cat with a bold and confident personality. This girl knows exactly what she wants and isn’t afraid to show it. Francine loves pets and attention, but she’ll let you know when she’s had enough—she values her personal space. Her curiosity leads her to explore every nook and cranny, making life with her full of delightful surprises. While she can tolerate other cats, Francine would thrive best as the only feline in the household. If you’re looking for a spirited and self-assured companion, Francine is the perfect match for you!
Francine has been spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. She has an approximate birthdate of June, 2020. Her adoption fee is $95.
