Nila's Story

Nila Is Searching for Her Retirement Home After a lifetime of love followed by heartbreaking loss, Nila is hoping her next chapter is a gentle, permanent one. This sweet girl truly shines as an easy, polite companion. She loves cozy cuddles, staying close to her people, and calm companionship. While she does enjoy some playtime, Nila is a gentle soul who fits beautifully into a relaxed home. Nila can be selective with other dogs - she gets along well with some but not all, so thoughtful introductions are a must. She does best with older children who understand and respect her space, and her compatibility with cats is currently unknown. Nila also has wonderful house manners - she is calm indoors, respectful of her space, and an absolute joy to live with. She has mild incontinence that is very well managed with her daily medication and does not affect her comfort or quality of life. Nila's story tugs at the heartstrings. She was raised from puppyhood by devoted owners who passed away last summer. She was adopted shortly after, but tragedy struck again when her adoptive family lost their home in a fire and, through no fault of her own, Nila was returned to the rescue. She is currently safe and loved in a foster home while she waits for the forever family she so deeply deserves.

Save Monroe Strays's Adoption Policy

Thank you for your interest in adopting from us! We are an all volunteer, 501c3 animal rescue in southeast Michigan. Our mission is to place all of our animals in loving, permanent homes. You are not purchasing a pet from us; you are adopting a living, breathing, creature that deserves safety, love and care. Your answers on the application are assurance to us that the animals we care for are going to good, permanent homes. All of the information on the application is confidential. Feline adoption fees - $125 for kittens under 8 months, $100 if over 8 months, and $60 if over 9 years old. Canine adoption fees - $350 for puppies under 1 year, $300 if over 1 year, and $200 if over 7 years old. Foster-to-adopt and Adoption fees are non-refundable. We do not use a first-come, first-serve process when adopting out our animals. Instead, we focus on best fit for each individual animal. The process is intended to ensure a long-term successful adoption for both the family and pet. Dogs can live 10-15 years, and cats can live 15-20 years, so please make sure your lifestyle allows the time, patience, and ability to cover expenses your new pet will need over the years. Will you be travelling frequently, moving soon, or having children? Responsible pet ownership includes as-needed and routine veterinary care, quality food, preventatives, and other supplies. You must be at least 21 years old to adopt. All of our adoptable animals have had a complete veterinarian checkup. Our dogs and puppies are heartworm tested. All of our animals are spayed/neutered, dewormed, and have received age-appropriate vaccines before going to their forever homes.
