Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Detroit, Michigan

Sweet Hawaiin A183700
31 lb. spayed female, approx 5 years old

(Bonded Pair)

Boudin Bakery A183701
27 lb. spayed female, approx 2 years old

*We do not know their story before they came to us but we know they braved it together! They are a bonded pair and have relied on one another since they arrived. We believe Sweet Hawaiian is the mama to little miss Boudin Bakery.

*We would absolutely love to keep these precious girls together! Two little peanuts who don't take up much room. They snuggle up so close together that they basically add up to one dog. 😂

Here is some info on both:

🌸Sweet Hawaiian🌸
Came in and is co housed with probable daughter, Boudin Bakery.
-This gal is a little timid to start but very friendly
-She is super treat motivated and will follow you anywhere you go if she thinks she's getting a snack!
-She enjoys pets but takes a minute to warm up as she is a little nervous
-She's not currently playing with toys but was having fun running around the yard with her girl!
-Walks nicely on a leash

🌼Boudin Bakery🌼

Came in with probable mom, Sweet Hawaiian
-She's definitely more nervous away from her mama. She is timid with her little tail tucked.
-But... if you get down low and baby talk, she comes over and enjoys pets
-She is also food motivated and takes treats nicely. Occasionally she sits for them too!
-She is not currently playing with toys
-Walks nicely on leash but stops occasionally and needs encouragement. When she's walking with her momma she does much better.

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.
