Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Detroit, Michigan

Butterfinger A184076
55 lb. spayed female, approx 2 years old

-This sweet gal needs encouragement and time, but once she trusts you she loves being close. After time she will scoot in closer and closer!
-When I first gave her treats she took them nicely but spit them all out. A couple minutes later she went back and ate all of them and started giving tail wags. She takes them nicely and still needs work picking up "sit".
-Quick movements definitely make her nervous and she will need you to go slow and be patient!
-I tossed the tennis ball and she was very curious. Went over to where it was and started rolling around with her nose but never picked it up.
-She will give lots of kisses when she trusts you!
-She could benefit from a foster home or a patient adopter!
-She walks nicely on leash
-Seems non reactive to dogs nearby and may do well living with a fur sibling after slow and proper intros

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
