STANLEY - Yorkshire Terrier and Parson Russell Terrier Dog for Adoption

Stanley is a sweet 9-year-old, 9-pound little gentleman who is hoping for a second chance at a loving forever home. After spending his life with a family he loved, Stanley found himself needing a new beginning when his previous owner lost their home and was no longer able to care for him. At his age, this kind of change can be especially difficult, and Stanley is looking for someone who will give him the patience, comfort, and love he deserves.

Stanley can be a little shy when he first meets new people and may need some time to adjust to his new home and surroundings. Once he feels safe, he has a gentle heart and enjoys the simple things in life — going for walks, spending quiet time with his people, and curling up in your lap for some well-deserved cuddle time.

Because loud noises can startle Stanley, he would do best in a calm, low-traffic home where he can relax and feel secure. A family with respectful children 10 years and older would be the best fit, and children should meet Stanley prior to adoption to ensure everyone feels comfortable together.

Stanley may not ask for much, but what he truly wants is a place to belong — a soft bed, a loving person, and a home where he can spend his golden years feeling safe and cherished. ??

Could you be the person who gives Stanley the peaceful and loving retirement he deserves? If you are interested in meeting Stanley or another homeless pet at Macomb County Animal Control, they are open M-F from 10am-4pm. Adoption fee: $250
