Josephine, female Havanese

Adopted

Josephine is a friendly and energetic 4-year-old Havanese female, a recently retired breeder who is excited to live life to the fullest! She loves toys, and often carries one around in her mouth throughout the day. She needs continued work on house training, and a fenced yard or potty area is preferred. At this point, Josephine does not have experience walking on a leash, but she’s smart and will learn quickly. She will be spayed, microchipped and up to date on vet care prior to adoption. Adoption fee is $450. If you’re ready for a little challenge in exchange for the great rewards she brings (through her silliness and gentle kisses), contact her foster mom Michelle at m.vangeest@att.net or call between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. at (616) 949-7813 for further details!

Kelsey, Adopted!

Kelsey is a 6-year-old Yorkie female, a retired breeder, very social & cute. She seems to attach quickly to her human friends and wants the attention for herself. For that reason, Kelsey would do best as an only pet. She is fully vetted, HW negative, and has had a dental cleaning. She is working on house training. A fenced yard or outside area is preferred since she is not yet experienced on a leash or tie-out. Kelsey’s adoption fee is $450. If you have questions, contact Mary at (574) 524-6040 between 9 AM & 9 PM.

Charlie, Miniature Poodle, Adopted

Charlie is an AKC registered Miniature Apricot Poodle weighing about 10 pounds. He is full of energy and likes to play with toys. He is timid with people and requires more socialization, yet he likes to sit on a lap. While he shows interest in children, we don’t know if he has any experience with them. A fenced yard or area is required as he is not yet comfortable on a leash. Charlie gets along with other dogs and would probably benefit from having another canine friend. He is fully vetted including a dental. He is crate trained and doing well on house training. His adoption fee is $400. For more details or to see if your home might be a good fit for Charlie, contact his foster mom, Mary, at (574) 524-6040.

Sophie Sue, Shih Tzu/Bichon mix — Adoption pending!

Sophie Sue is a sweet little female with a silky, curly white coat. She weighs about 12 pounds and was born in December 2015. Having come from a puppy mill, she is quite timid with people and therefore needs a home with another canine friend to follow and learn from. Sophie is most timid with men; so a female household may be preferable. She is doing well on house training; she is not fond of being crated. A fenced yard or potty area is also necessary until she gets comfortable being on a leash. Sophie Sue is spayed, fully vaccinated and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $300. If you have questions about this little gal, contact Michelle: (616) 949-7813 or m.vangeest@att.net.

I really, really love napping on the couch!

CoCo, Adopted!

My name is Mr. CoCo. I am a handsome 6-year-old AKC-registered male Miniature Schnauzer, looking for my forever home. My foster mom describes me as a very nice boy! I have certificates verifying no problems with my heart and knees. I am completely vetted, being up to date on shots, heart worm tests (negative), neutered, a good blood work-up, and microchipped. I had a dental cleaning in October 2023. I am very energetic, so I would require either a fenced yard or active people to take me on daily walks. I get along with non-dominant dogs. I am crate trained and doing very well with house training. I will be very devoted to a new owner! I am smart and could benefit from obedience training or agility training. My adoption fee is $450.00. Please call Mary at (574) 524-6040 and leave a message.

Chloe – Adopted!

Hello, my name is Chloe — which is a feminine name of Greek origin, meaning “blooming” — and I would love to be picked by you to continue blooming in your family garden. I am 12 years old and have a terrier-mix bloodline. As you can see my large brown eyes are set off beautifully by my lovely golden-brown fur. I found myself at Second Chance Small Dog Rescue because my senior parents were no longer able to care for me. I like playing and socializing with other dogs and bigger humans so I would be better suited to a home without young children. I am up to date on my vaccinations, spayed, heartworm negative, and on prevention. I recently had a successful dental visit and some bloodwork done — the vet reported that all was good “for my age” — so I plan on being around for a long time. I weigh approx. 12 lbs. Are you interested in adopting Chloe? Her adoption fee is $100. Call her foster mom Mary at 574-524-6040 for more information between 9AM & 9PM.
