BEWARE!! There are many 'rescues' that are nothing more than glorified puppy brokers!

Be sure that ANY animal you adopt is fully vetted, including spay/neuter, microchip, and all necessary shots and tests. Reputable rescues include all this, and more!  You don't want to fall victim to 'puppies for profit' from a non-legitimate rescue!
The below listed dogs are courtesy posting for other shelters and rescues.  Please contact them for more information as the adoption will be through their organizations.

Zeus

Picture

Hello my name is Zeus.  I am currently residing at the Roscommon County Animal Shelter in Prudenville, MI.  My owners surrendered me and my sister back on May 22, 2026.  My sister got adopted awhile ago but I am still looking for a new home.  The people here have been really good to me but I am tired of this small kennel.  I protect my area when I am in this kennel but the shelter workers tell me that is not a good thing because people think I am aggressive.  When I am out of my kennel I am happy and love to go for walks and play in the yard.  I am frisky and get the zoomies when I am outside.  This is my favorite thing to do during the day.  The staff also brushes my coat when I am outside and I LOVE to be brushed.
I do get along with other dogs but I am selective as to which ones I want to make friends with.  I prefer the girls but some of the guys are okay too.   They tell me I am the alpha dog which I think that is a good thing but I am not real sure.  Slow introductions are best for me and new friends.  I do not want to live in a home with cats though, they are not my favorite.  I am good with all the kennel staff except the big male animal control officer named Will.  He scares me so I bark at him a lot when he comes by me.  I’m not his biggest fan either so the feeling is mutual.  I can be stand offish with men at first but usually warm up once I get to know them and getting treats from them helps too.
I am six years old, neutered, microchipped and up to date on all my vaccines.  I am also up to date on flea medications and deworming.  I am a good, gentle and quiet Mali and I have manners and listen well.  I also always try to keep my kennel clean and only go potty outside.
Did I also mention that I enjoy a good Nyla Bone! 

My adoption fee is $175 and I am more than ready to get out of here if you are willing to give me a try.  I promise I’ll be a good boy!     Love Zeus
