Dune - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Detroit, Michigan

Dune A184078
50 lb. neutered male, approx 1 year old

-This boy is searching for a connection and companionship! He wants to be loved so badly!
-Sometimes it's hard for him to contain his excitement and he jumps up to be close. (Hugs) We are working daily with him to help him learn all his manners and show you what a polite boy he can be if given a shot!
-Treats help him focus. He is food motivated and quickly learning "four on the floor" gets him the yummy treats!
-He's still a work in progress but proving to be very smart! If you want to add Dune to your family you must be willing to put in the time and effort he so desperately wants and needs!
-He is super playful and loves toys of all kinds. He awkwardly chases them around and sometimes brings them back for more!
-He is a lap dog above all else! He loves people! He loves pets and belly rubs! He will repay you in appreciation kisses so be ready!
-This boy is still young and eager to learn! He just needs a family ready for a big, goofy lovable mush!
-He seems non reactive to other dogs and will most likely do well with a fur sibling. Because of his big personality and size, a dog similar in size and energy would suit him best!

*He has been spending a lot of time being spoiled as our office dog. He seems potty trained already....and when we couldn't take him out quick enough, he used a pee pad! 😀 He loves lounging on his bed or at your feet while you work. He loves a long lasting chew and can self entertain. He doesn't beg for food at lunch time....but he doesn't complain when you share! 😋 He's being such a good boy and we love him dearly!

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.
