Shasta is a 40-pound pit mix that enjoys the simple things in life — taking naps wrapped in a blanket, eating peanut butter, and playing with a ball in the backyard. 

This sweet girl is both house and crate trained, and knows her basic commands (sit, down, stay, paw). She loves training in her foster home and would like a forever family to help her keep learning. 

Shasta likes meeting new human friends (including older kids) but is looking for a home where she is the only animal.

Interested? Please fill out a #foster or #adoption application at www.DetroitDogRescue.com

Flower is our longest shelter dog. She has been with us over 1,210 days -that’s over three years.

She was seized during a court case and given to #DetroitDogRescue and due to some of her fears and trauma she never found a forever home. She is the last dog left from that case where DDR endured prolonged court cases to give her a better life.

Today, Flower is in a foster home, but she’s getting older and she’s starting to have some difficulties with her body. We recently had do an expensive ultrasound in order to change her medications.

We know Flower isn’t ever going to get her forever home, but while she has a foster, we want to give her the best qualify life and top medical care. We’re starting a fund for her, the Flower Fund, and we hope to raise $4,000 to cover her ultrasound, medical maintenance and supplies.

Please help us with the Flower Fund at DetroitDogRescue.com

Come meet “The One” at our shelter #adoptionevent tomorrow, from 11am-2pm!
We’ll be at 15612 Harper Ave. Detroit, MI 48224 with some of our most special dogs who have been waiting for their forever homes.

All of the dogs at this event are “The One”! What does that mean? This is a special event for dogs who need to be the only dogs in their home. They’re great in public, love humans, but some of them have special needs and all of them have been in shelter for over 6 months.

Want to foster or adopt a dog who really needs you for the holidays? Come meet them and let them spend Christmas in a home!

You can see all of our adoptable dogs and put in an application before the event by going to www.DetroitDogRescue.com

We’re not sure if it’s the look in his eyes, or the paw on her lap, but we’re pretty sure Bama is in love with Chantal. Thank you to ALL of our staff + volunteers who get out there in the blistering sun and brutal cold of Detroit to keep our dogs walked, enriched and loved. We have a great team and it’s because of your support!

We just had to share this #ThankfulThursday story with you.

Ava, a sweet 8-year-old who just loves helping the dogs of Detroit, collected donations for our shelter dogs recently! We can't thank her enough for all of the hard work she put in to bring joy and treats to the #DDR dogs.
