🏡 **CHOWDER'S DREAM HOME:**

Chowder is looking for someone who appreciates both his adventurous spirit AND his softer side!

💙 An active family who enjoys walks and adventures
💙 A securely fenced yard (6+ feet preferred) OR frequent walks
💙 A confident doggy sibling would be wonderful, but he's also happy being your one and only!
💙 Someone patient who will continue his training and build his confidence
💙 A family home often or with a flexible schedule while he masters crate training

✅ Good with dogs
✅ Mostly potty trained with a routine

🐾🩶 MEET SHINX! 🩶🐾

How is this sweet little guy still waiting for his forever family?! 🥹

Shinx is an adorable 4-month-old grey tabby with a sweet personality and a purr that is WAY bigger than his little 4.6-pound body!

He can be a little shy when meeting someone new, but give him some time to realize he’s safe and you’ll start seeing the real Shinx. 💕 His purr motor turns on, his curiosity comes out, and this gentle little guy starts to blossom.

Shinx is still just a baby with so much growing, playing, loving, and snuggling ahead of him. He just needs a family willing to give him a little patience while he settles in.

✨ Shinx is fully vetted and READY TO GO HOME!
🐾 Neutered
💉 Vaccinated
🩺 FIV/FeLV negative
💙 Microchipped

Could this sweet little Pokémon be the one you’ve been searching for? 🩶🥹

🏡 Shinx is ready. He just needs someone to choose him.

🐾 PLEASE HELP US WELCOME OUR NEWEST RESCUES! 🐾

Yesterday was another busy day of surrenders, and we have several new faces to introduce! ❤️

These sweet pups come from a variety of backgrounds. Some were discarded due to medical issues, some came from breeder surrenders, and others were surrendered by families who could no longer provide the care they needed.

No matter how they got here, they are safe now, and their next chapter starts today.

We are incredibly grateful to our amazing fosters who stepped up when these dogs needed someone most. And a HUGE thank you to our dedicated volunteers who helped with transportation! From opening your homes to lending a hand on the road, every bit of support makes a difference.

It truly takes a village, and we couldn't do this without ours! ❤️

A quick reminder: These dogs are NOT available for adoption yet. They all have veterinary care and medical evaluations to complete before they can begin their search for forever homes.

Our bulldog and Cavapoo will both be visiting specialty veterinarians to address their specific medical conditions. We are committed to getting each of these pups the care they deserve, no matter what it takes.

🐾 Will you help us give them the fresh start they deserve?

Medical care, specialty appointments, diagnostics, medications, and ongoing treatment add up quickly. Please consider making a donation toward their care so we can continue saying YES to dogs who need us.

Every donation, share, and kind word helps us save the next life.

🐾❤️ MEET JACK & JUDY — TWO BEST FRIENDS LOOKING FOR ONE FOREVER HOME. ❤️🐾

Jack and Judy have something very special: each other. They are a bonded pair, and after sharing their lives together, we're hoping to find a loving family who will make sure they get to stay that way. 🥹

🐶 MEET JACK
Jack is an approximately 7-year-old Jack Russell Terrier mix and an absolute sweetheart. He's affectionate, loves being close to his people, and would happily accept belly rubs all day long!

☀️ Loves relaxing in the sunshine
🐾 Enjoys walks & exploring outside
❤️ Sweet and affectionate
🐱 Good with cats
🏡 Would love a securely fenced yard
💕 Happiest right alongside Judy

Jack can be sensitive to fast or unpredictable movements. While he loves kids, all the activity that comes with them can make him nervous, so a calm, adult-only home would be the best fit.

🐶 MEET JUDY
At 13 years young, Judy is a Chihuahua through and through—sweet, sassy, opinionated, and completely lovable. 😂❤️

Judy likes affection on her terms and is perfectly content simply sitting beside her favorite person and enjoying their company.

🐾 Still loves going for walks
💕 Loves being beside her people
🐱 Good with cats
❤️ Takes heart medication easily
🦽 Has some weakness in her back legs
🥹 Has her own stroller when her legs get tired!

Judy may be 13, but she's not ready to miss out on the fun. When those little legs say "that's enough," the stroller comes out and the adventure continues. ❤️

And here's something incredibly generous:

Their current caregivers are willing to continue paying for Judy's medication AND food for both Jack and Judy. ❤️

They simply want these two to find the right home together.

🏡 JACK & JUDY ARE BONDED AND MUST STAY TOGETHER.

We're looking for a patient, peaceful home where Judy can enjoy her golden years and Jack can have the security and companionship he needs—with his best girl still by his side.

⚠️ PLEASE NOTE: Jack and Judy are courtesy posts only and are not directly in the care of Happy Paws Haven. We are helping their current caregivers find the right home. Qualified applicants will be connected directly with the person caring for them.

🐾 Interested in giving BOTH Jack & Judy a home? Apply here:
https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HPH/Dog

📣 PLEASE SHARE. Finding a home for a bonded pair can be harder, but somewhere out there is someone with room for two little dogs and one very special friendship. 🥹❤️

Two dogs. One home. Together where they belong. 🏡🐾

💛🐾 HAPPY SATURDAY FROM LYLA! 🐾💛

Hi friends, Lyla here! 👋🐶 I’m taking a little break from my walk to wish you a happy Saturday!

There are lots of new smells to investigate, and I’m taking things one paw at a time. 🍂🐾

Just a few days ago, I was scared and alone in Rouge Park. Today, I have someone walking beside me, a safe place to rest, and people giving me time to learn that I can trust them. 🥹❤️

I’m still getting used to this new chapter, but I don’t have to figure it all out today. For now, a gentle walk and a little kindness are a pretty good start. 💕

Thank you to everyone who helped me get here and everyone cheering me on. My story is just beginning! 🐶💛

I still need my veterinary workup and spay surgery. If you’d like to help with my care, please write “Lyla” in your donation note. Every little bit helps! 🐾

🐾💕 MEET PATCHES — A SWEET SENIOR GIRL LOOKING FOR HER HAPPILY EVER AFTER! 💕🐾

🥹 14 YEARS OF LOVE TO GIVE… AND STILL WAITING FOR HER FOREVER PERSON! 🥹

🐱 Name: Patches
🎂 Age: 14 years young
🐾 Breed: Domestic Longhair
📍 Location: Foster home in Berkley, MI

💔 Patches didn't lose her home because she did anything wrong.

This beautiful, fluffy girl was surrendered after being bullied by another cat in her previous home. 😢 All Patches wanted was a peaceful place to feel safe and loved.

Now, at 14 years old, she's hoping someone will give her the second chance she deserves. ❤️

🌸 WHY PATCHES IS SO SPECIAL! 🌸

💕 LOVE BUG! She absolutely adores cuddles and affection!

🪮 PAMPER ME, PLEASE! Being brushed is one of her favorite things!

🧶 STILL PLAYFUL! Don't let her age fool you—this girl still loves her playtime!

🥰 WONDERFUL COMPANION! She's happiest spending quality time with her favorite humans.

🏡 PATCHES' DREAM HOME:

Patches isn't asking for much. Just a quiet, loving home where she can finally relax and be someone's cherished companion.

🐾 A peaceful environment where she feels safe
❤️ Someone with plenty of love and cuddles to share
🐱 Preferably the ONLY CAT so she never has to worry about being bullied again
🛋️ A cozy spot to curl up and enjoy her golden years

✨ Patches may be 14, but she has so much life, personality, and love left to share! ✨

Senior cats are often overlooked, but they have something truly special to offer—a beautiful companionship built on quiet moments, gentle affection, and unconditional love. 💗

🥹 Imagine being 14 years old and having to start over. Patches deserves to spend her golden years knowing she's safe, wanted, and LOVED.

🏡 COULD YOU BE PATCHES' FOREVER PERSON?

🐾 APPLY TO ADOPT PATCHES HERE: https://happypawshaven.pet/adopt-foster/

📍 Currently being loved and cared for by her foster family in Berkley, Michigan.

🙏 CAN'T ADOPT? PLEASE SHARE! Senior cats need extra help finding their people. One simple share could change Patches' entire world! ❤️

💕🐾 LET'S GIVE PATCHES THE HAPPY ENDING SHE DESERVES! 🐾💕

🐾💛 MEET MOLLY — SHE’S SAFE NOW, BUT SHE STILL NEEDS HER FOREVER. 💛🐾

Molly is a beautiful 4-year-old Black Lab mix who has had a lot of change in her life lately. At 55 pounds, this sweet girl found herself without a home and unsure of what came next.

Thankfully, Molly is now safe in a foster home. ❤️

And despite everything she's been through, Molly remains sweet, loving, affectionate, and incredibly resilient. She loves being with her people and is finally getting to experience the comfort and stability of being in a home again.

🐾 About Molly:

4 years old | 55 lbs.
Sweet & affectionate
Medium energy
🐶 Good with dogs
🏡 Potty trained
✂️ Spayed
❤️ Microchipped
🩺 Currently undergoing heartworm treatment

Molly is heartworm positive and receiving treatment through Happy Paws Haven at Union Lake Veterinary Hospital. Happy Paws Haven will coordinate and provide her heartworm treatment.

What Molly really needs now is a foster-to-adopt family willing to love her through the rest of treatment, follow her activity restrictions while she heals, and—once she's medically cleared—make sure she never has to wonder where she belongs again. 🥹❤️

She's already lost her home once.

We want the next one to be forever. 🏡

🐾 Apply for Molly:
