Adoptable and Sanctuary Dogs

Loki, Maltese/Havanese Puppy

Meet Loki, an owner-surrendered puppy born in September of 2023. He is a handsome and delightful dog, with lots of energy and comical play habits. In our experience with him, he gets along with other small dogs and likes both men and women. He knows a few commands and acts submissively (when he’s actually listening, that is!).

The ideal adoptive home must: (1) have the energy and knowledge to train a young dog; (2) have another dog that is capable of dealing with a “pesky little brother” that pounces on him/her and demands to play; (3) have a fenced yard for safely running off some of that energy; (4) not have very young children. The payoff? Loki will be a WONDERFUL pet for many years to come. Preference will be given to person(s) within a 50-mile radius of either Elkhart, IN, or Grand Rapids, MI.

Loki is crate trained, comfortable on a leash/tie-out, and making good progress on house training. He is neutered; up to date on vet care; heart worm negative; and on monthly heart worm prevention. He weighs approx. 10#.

Loki is being fostered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. His adoption fee is $400. If you have questions about him, please contact his foster mom Michelle at m.vangeest@att.net or (616) 949-7813. Or complete an online adoption application.

Loki loves to play with an overturned bowl. The video uploaded in slower motion, but you’ll get the point!

Max, a Maltese/Yorkie mix

Meet little Max, a playful and friendly one-year-old weighing approx. 12#. Max may do well with another dog for companionship, particularly when the humans are not home. Max needs continued work with crate training and house training, especially when changing homes. Fully vetted; HW negative; neutered. Applications are being accepted now, and Max will be placed in the home that best meets his needs. For questions, email 2ndchancesmalldogrescue@gmail.com or call Mary at (574) 524-6040.

Georgie, male Toy Poodle

Adopted!!

Handsome little Georgie, age 4-1/2, is ready to find his forever home. He is friendly and relatively active, and weighs about 8#. Being a retired breeder, he needs a little more socialization and continued work on house training. Continued crate training is recommended. Georgie LOVES to snuggle. He would do best with another dog to show him the ropes and hang out with when his human isn’t home. A fenced yard/area is desirable, but he is doing pretty well with leashes and tie-outs. Georgie is up to date on all vet care (vaccines, heart worm negative, neutered) and had an extensive dental cleaning with extractions. Georgie’s adoption fee is $450. Contact his foster mom, Michelle, at (616) 949-7813 or m.vangeest@att.net with questions. Or complete an online adoption application.

Jojo, male Pomeranian–Pending adoption

Jojo is a 1-year-old male Pomeranian. He is friendly, full of puppy energy and playfulness but also likes to be held. Up-to-date on vaccines, heart worm negative, neutered, microchipped. Continued crate training is needed as he is not fully house trained. A fenced yard is strongly recommended so he can safely burn off his energy. His adoption fee is $450. Submit an adoption application, or call 574-524-6040 for information. Please leave a message, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Mogli, male Coton de Tulear

ADOPTED!
Mogli is a “tender soul” with a sensitive nature who will do best in a peaceful home with an older person/couple. Mogli is 6.5 years old and weighs about 15 lbs. He likes to be with his people and enjoys lap time. He will become more playful once he’s comfortable in his new home. He gets along well with other dogs. A fenced yard or potty area is strongly recommended, as Mogli still needs to learn to walk on a leash. He is doing very well on house training and is crate trained. Continued crate training is recommended. Mogli has been fully vetted, had a recent dental cleaning, is heart worm negative and on prevention. Mogli’s adoption fee is $400.
