*** warning long post
This is Stitch . Stitch was one of the 160 dogs taken from an East Bay Township residence. Dubbed the "Disney Dogs" while in care of Grand Traverse County Animal Control, Stitch, like a lot of the dogs, was not doing well in the shelter setting so they reached out to us for help. His foster mom gives her insights on the best home for Stitch.
Stitch has been with HANDDS for almost four months now, and we think he is ready to start looking for his forever person. He still has a lot of work to do to be a normal dog, but he is getting better and better.
Stitch came from a puppy-mill type situation and what little contact he had with people was traumatic. He has become substantially better at interacting with people while he has been in his foster home, but needs lots of time to warm up to new people and may always be frightened of fast movements and loud noises. He is fairly good with pee pads - we are still working on his fear of being outside so house training is just being started. He is starting to be more interested in going outside and spending time outside, but is very jumpy about any new noises or people.
He is very comfortable with other dogs but hasn't been tested with cats. I wouldn't recommend small kids, due to his nervousness, and would only recommend older dog-savvy children with the patience to let him come to them. He does have a very Heeler bark when he wants something, so I wouldn't recommend apartment living. He doesn't like thunder, and will seek out people to feel safe during storms.
Once he warms up to people he wants to be in the same room, but generally prefers to sit by himself. He is starting to accept some human contact, and is getting better about having a collar and leash on, but needs very slow movement, and he will likely never be a cuddly dog.
His forever person needs to know that he is a project dog, and may always be. He will likely backslide on his progress when first in a new house. He may always be terrified of new things and scared of new people. They will need to work with his stubborn Heeler personality while respecting that he is still traumatized from his former life.
We are going to require that he go into a home with another dog that is confident and interested in playing with a submissive but in-your-face male dog. If you think you have what it takes to help out Stitch, please click the button below if you are interested in more information!

Mirabel
|
2 yr old Pit Bull mix. Housebroken and crate trained. Mirabel is a total sweetheart. She just loves her people and wants to be next to you or on your lap. She still has puppy energy and loves to play and run around the yard. Good with dogs - she is very puppy like in that she know no boundaries or personal space and will lay on them, take their toys and be persistent on wanting to play. She will chase chickens, unsure on cats. Mirabel does listen well, and would benefit from continued training.

Pig
|
2 yr old female Husky mix. Pig came to us with a broken pelvis, she is all healed up now and can run and play, but no jogging long distances, jumping for frisbees or any other extreme sports. Pig is a rather pig-headed pup, she possesses many of the Husky traits and must not go to a home with cats or pocket pets, and she isn't overly fond of other dogs, she would prefer to be an only pet and be the center of attention. She is like Houdini, and will go over fences, escape crates, and get into the tiniest spaces. If you are still reading, Piggy is a very loving girl and just wants your attention. She is housebroken.
