Cupid's Story

• Name: Cupid <br/>• Male or female? Male<br/>• Approximate Age: 1.5yr<br/>• Breed: mixed breed<br/>• Weight: 45-50lbs<br/>• Any impairments: missing rear leg<br/>• Potty trained? Yes<br/>• Crate trained? Yes<br/>• Good with other dogs? Yes<br/>• Good with cats? Yes but needs solid boundaries <br/>• Good with kids? Yes<br/>• Commands known: waits before coming out of kennel and waits before going out the door, sit, down, leave it.<br/>• Need another dog in the home? Not necessary but would love to see him with another well established dog<br/>• Location: Mattawan, Michigan <br/>• Energy level (high/med/low)? Medium-high. <br/>• Need fence? Preferred <br/><br/>•Bio <br/>Meet Cupid! This sweet little tri-pod boy is so full of love. Cupid came to us with a shattered femur & Femoral head. After repairing it, he never used the leg again so the decision was made to amputate and he's been thriving ever since. <br/>Cupid adores kids, his human foster siblings are 8, 5, and 4, and he is truly so gentle and loving with them but knows how to be respectful when it's time to play too! <br/>His beginning with us was spent on a significant amount of crate rest due to his many surgeries, therefore he is still learning how to walk respectfully on a leash. His foster mom works with him regularly and he's come such a long way! A fenced in yard would be preferred but not necessary as he's also learning how to be on a long line as well as working on recall. He LOVES to learn and thrives in a clear and structured setting.<br/>As for other fur siblings, he's currently in a home with two cats and he can exist peacefully with them, although has been known to resource guard attention if he's in the middle of a good snuggle and the cat wants to join. He's very clear with his body language so it's easy to correct the behavior before he reacts. <br/>Due to some previous attacks by another male dog, Cupid prefers female dogs, however his current best friend is another neutral male. He would do best in a home with another well established and neutral dog but would be fine as the only dog too!<br/>He's exhibited some resource guarding in the past, and it's been managed by feeding him by himself in his kennel and he does just fine. His foster mom has worked with him on hand feeding and impulse control and hasn't had any more issues!<br/><br/>***PLEASE READ*** WE DO NOT RESPOND TO PETFINDER OR EMAIL INQUIRIES.

Speak for the Unspoken's Adoption Policy
Before completing our online application please read the following: Our adoption process involves multiple steps and it typically takes up to 2 weeks from the time we receive your application to the time your adoption is finalized. We reserve the right to deny any application without explanation. All of our dogs and/or puppies are in foster homes. We do not schedule “Meet and Greets” without an approved application. Our Adoption Fees start at $325 per dog, $75 per cat or kitten. We can adopt an animal ‘out of state’, but you must be willing to travel to where the pet is being fostered, and transport the animal yourself after the adoption. If you have other animals (dogs/cats) in your home, they must be up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm testing and prevention (dogs), and spayed/neutered. We will verify this with your veterinarian. If your animals are not up to date, your application will be denied. Please make sure to fully complete your application; leaving questions blank or not including all requested information will delay your application. Once your online application is submitted, it can take our volunteers 5 to 7 business days to process it. If we have questions about your application, we will email you. Please make sure to add our email, adopt@speakfortheunspoken.com to your email so our messages do not end up in your spam folder! Once your application is approved by the processors, it is sent to the person fostering the dog you have applied for. They will make the decision on whether the animal that you applied for is the right fit for you and your home. They may also choose to initially contact you via email or phone. If you do not respond promptly to their email or phone call, they will move on to the next applicant. Your application will be saved on file for 1 year and will be used for all dogs you would be interested in that time-frame. No need to keep filling out applications! Adoption application approval means you are approved to adopt an animal from us, it does not mean you are necessarily approved for the animal you applied for. There may be specific circumstances in your home that do not make it a good fit for one animal, but it may be a fine fit for another.
