💔🐾 TWIGGY & BECCA ARE STILL WAITING… 🐾💔

Twiggy and Becca aren’t bonded, but they’ve become the best of friends while waiting for their forever families. 🥹❤️ Through all the long days and lonely nights at the shelter, they’ve had each other—and now they’re both hoping their lucky day is coming soon. 🍀🏡

Twiggy is a handsome boy with a big heart and an even bigger personality. 🐶💙 He loves spending time with people and is ready to trade kennel life for a cozy couch and a family of his own. 🛋️✨

Becca is a sweet girl who deserves the same chance at happiness. 🌸💕 She’s spent far too long watching families walk past her kennel, wondering when someone will finally stop and choose her. 😢🐾

Even though they keep each other company, the shelter is no place for dogs to spend their days. 💔 The barking never stops, the beds aren’t very cozy, and every night they fall asleep hoping tomorrow will be different. 🥺

They don’t need to be adopted together—they just each need someone willing to give them a chance. 🫶✨ Whether it’s Twiggy or Becca (or one of their friends) you’d be gaining a loyal best friend who will love you unconditionally. ❤️🐶

Please share their story and help us find the homes they deserve. 🏡💕 Their forever families are out there somewhere—we just need to help them find each other.

🌟 Adopt. Foster. Share. 🌟

Let’s get Twiggy and Becca out of the shelter and into loving homes where they can finally live the lives they’ve been waiting for. 🐾❤️

🌊🐾 Meet Cortez! 🐾🌊

At 6 years old and 64 pounds, Cortez is the perfect mix of adventure buddy and loyal best friend! 💙 This handsome boy is absolutely obsessed with the water—whether it’s a pool, lake, or any place he can splash around, Cortez is ready to dive right in! 🏖️🐶

Not only is he a water-loving superstar, but he’s also incredibly smart and eager to learn. 🍖✨ Cortez is very food motivated, which makes training a breeze! He already knows commands like sit and shake and is always excited to show off his skills for a tasty treat. 🐾🤝

Cortez is also a gentleman on walks and walks wonderfully on a leash. 🚶‍♂️🐕 Whether you’re heading out for a neighborhood stroll or exploring new trails, he’ll happily be by your side.

When it comes to other dogs, Cortez would do best with slow and proper introductions to any potential canine siblings to help set him up for success. ❤️

This sweet boy has so much love to give and is ready to find a family that will appreciate his goofy personality, intelligence, and love for all things water. 🌊☀️ If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s always up for an adventure and a cuddle afterward, Cortez might just be your perfect match! 🏡🐾💙

Come meet Cortez and help him find the forever home he deserves!! Located at Oakland County animal shelter in Pontiac MI.

Sweet Brendan, aka Breny, needs a home🏡 He’s had a rough life….definitely needs a mom🩷 He takes awhile to warm up to men.

💙about 3 years old, 56lbs, mixed breed
➡️food motivated
💙 crate trained, but trustworthy to be left out alone; not destructive at all
➡️ he is great on leash and loves going for walks
💙 highly enjoys car rides
➡️ has been dog friendly with the dogs he has met, but a meet and greet is required with any dog he’d be living with to ensure a successful fit. Would probably do well with a confident dog sibling to help show him the way🐶
💙recommend no young kiddos due to their quick movements and his lack of exposure 
➡️Will follow you around like a shadow; looks to please
💙Probably wouldn’t do best in an apartment setting as he does bark when someone is at the door.
➡️stays right next to us in the yard/driveway; not a runner at all
💙excellent getting a bath
➡️does extremely well with routine. I’m guessing his life prior to coming to the shelter was full of unknowns and so he definitely appreciates structure and routine in his life😊
💙He prefers a quieter life; his person, good food, walks, running errands with you.

This amazing boy deserves a second chance at life!

💔 Meet Toma 💔

Toma’s world changed overnight when his owner was evicted in October and heartbreakingly could not take him along to new housing. Since then, this sweet 6-year-old boy has been waiting patiently for someone to finally choose him again. 🥺

At 53lbs, Toma is the perfect mix of playful and cuddly. He’s gone on several overnights and has been an absolute ANGEL in the home 🏡✨ He lets you know when he needs to go potty, sleeps peacefully through the night, and will happily curl up beside you as the world’s best cuddle buddy. ❤️

But don’t let his snuggly side fool you… Toma still gets the zoomies! 🐾 He loves tossing around his toys, going for long walks, swimming, and stretching out in the sunshine for a good sunbath ☀️🌊 His happiest moments are the simple ones — feeling grass under his paws, sniffing the breeze, and just getting to be a dog.

Toma does need slow introductions with new dogs and would do best with a calmer canine companion, or as your one-and-only spoiled boy 💕 What he truly needs is a patient home that understands him and gives him the love and stability he’s been missing.

He lost everything once already. Now he’s just hoping someone out there will give him the forever he deserves. 🐶💔

Please help Toma bust out of shelter life and into a warm bed, soft blankets, and a family that will never leave him behind again.

✨COCOA✨

2.5 years old • 56lbs 🤎

Cocoa has been sitting in the shelter since December after being surrendered because the person she loved could no longer care for her. 💔 She lost her home, her routine, and the comfort of being someone’s girl overnight… and now she spends her days waiting and hoping someone will finally choose her again. 🥺

Despite everything, Cocoa is still SO full of love. She is incredibly sweet with people and absolutely lights up when she gets attention. She’s very food motivated 🍖 which makes her eager to learn and so much fun to work with. She loves showing off for snacks and gets the cutest little zoomies when she’s happy — it’s impossible not to smile watching her bounce around. 🐾✨

Cocoa would do best as the only dog or with VERY slow introductions to other dogs. She just needs someone patient who will help her feel safe and understood. 🤍

The shelter is no place for a girl like Cocoa. Every day she waits behind kennel doors while other dogs leave, wondering when it’ll finally be her turn. She deserves cozy naps, yummy treats, zoomies in the yard, and someone who will never give up on her again. 🏡

Please give Cocoa the happy ending she’s been waiting for. 🤎🐶 Located at Oakland County animal shelter in Pontiac MI.

Huxley is thriving in his foster home, but heartbreakingly, no one has applied for him yet. 💔
He’s doing everything right and still waiting for someone to choose him. Please don’t let him be overlooked.

I call this handsome, shiny coated boy Cody, and I also call him the wonder dog. I wonder how it's possible for a dog that's been in the shelter over 7 months (most all of his puppy life) to adapt totally to our family life in a few hours. Cody is the whole package. He is calm, well behaved in the house, good in the car, is not a barker, is house trained, is an affectionate couch potato, and is a very considerate doggy playmate. I have two chill dogs and he was immediately great with them. He just wants to be near you. This is your laid back hang out buddy!

He's about 1 1/2, and about 60 pounds. He is listed as a mixed breed/terrier. Not being gone long hours, and having a fenced yard would be ideal, because he has spent most of his life alone and cooped up. A doggie playmate and/or kids would amazing. This is an all around great family dog!

Home needed for Toma ‼️ This sweet boy has been waiting over 200 days for someone to save him 😭😭

Toma is a 6-year-old, 53lb sweetheart who is looking for a calm, patient home to finally call his own. After being surrendered to the shelter because his owners were moving, Toma has been trying his best to adjust 💔 His buddy that came in with him has already been adopted, and now Toma is waiting all alone for his turn 🍀

This handsome guy LOVES car rides 🚗 and enjoys getting out for nice walks where he can sniff the world around him 🦮🌳 He’s also very food motivated 🍖 which makes bonding with him extra rewarding!

Toma would do best as the only dog in the home, or with VERY slow, proper introductions to another calm dog. He’s also looking for an adult-only home with no kids so he can feel safe and comfortable 🏡

Behind those soulful eyes is a loyal companion who just wants someone to give him a second chance ❤️ Shelter life has been hard on him, and he’s more than ready to leave the kennel behind for cozy naps, peaceful walks, and a person to love forever 🐶✨

Could you be the one to help Toma start over? 🥺

Located in Pontiac, at the Oakland County Animal Shelter. Fill out a foster/adoption app at www.doonlygoodrescue.com. He will be waiting 💔
