Spence aka Diesel's Story

Welcome back, sweet Spence. <br/><br/>Spence aka Diesel, first came to Save Monroe Strays as a puppy and was adopted at just 12 weeks old. Now 15 months old, this sweet boy unexpectedly finds himself searching for a new forever home.<br/><br/>Spence has been very loved. Unfortunately, his dad suffered a stroke a couple of months ago and is no longer able to care for him. Through no fault of his own, his whole world has changed.<br/><br/>And understandably, he's still trying to figure it all out. <br/><br/>Spence is about 40 pounds, neutered, up to date on his medical care, and still has plenty of that happy puppy energy. He absolutely LOVES long walks and car rides. He was accustomed to riding around in his dad's truck during the day and being part of everything, so spending 10-12 hours alone while his temporary caregivers are at work has been a big adjustment.<br/><br/>This boy would LOVE an active person or family who wants a four-legged sidekick. Hiking? He's in. Camping? Absolutely. Road trip? Call shotgun for Spence. He simply wants to be included and spend time with his people.<br/><br/>Spence is dog-friendly with proper introductions and is currently living with a Pomeranian and three cats. He can get excited when meeting new people or animals and may need a few minutes to settle down. With everything in his life changing so suddenly, we think he deserves a little patience, understanding and reassurance while he finds his footing.<br/><br/>Our rescue will be spending time with Spence over the coming weeks-walking, hiking, working on calmness and manners, and most importantly, reminding him that he is still very, very loved. He has an entire army behind him determined to find the right next chapter. <br/><br/>Now we need your help.<br/><br/>If you're looking for an affectionate, energetic best friend who will happily join you on life's adventures, Spence may be your guy. And if you can't adopt, please share his story. Sometimes one share is all it takes to reach the person an animal has been waiting for.<br/><br/>Spence is available for adoption through Save Monroe Strays Rescue.<br/><br/>Let's get this sweet boy out of temporary housing and back where he belongs-in a home, with his person, knowing he's forever.

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.
