Featured Pup of the Week: Michigan 🐶

You may recognize Michigan from our October 7th newsletter, as he is our first ever repeat Pup of the Week, who is still looking for his forever home after 485+ days at Dorchester Paws!

From Dorchester Paws:

“There are some residents who leave a mark on every person who meets them… and for us, that’s Michigan. This 3-year-old hound has been in our care since August 2024- 485 days of learning the world is safe, of building trust, and of being loved by so many volunteers, staff, fosters, and community members who’ve taken him on doggy dates and welcomed him into their homes.

But we don’t measure his time here in days. We measure it in wins.

In 485 days, Michigan has: • Bonded deeply with staff who show up every day for him • Made friends with every dog he’s ever met • Gained confidence through amazing fosters and foster siblings • Explored parks, neighborhoods, and new adventures with people who simply wanted him to feel special

Michigan is housetrained, crate trained, gentle, and shy in the sweetest way. Because of that, he’ll need a home with another dog to help him feel secure, and older kids who understand how to support a sensitive soul.

He has waited patiently. He has loved unconditionally. And he has taught us more about resilience and quiet courage than he’ll ever know.

Now, we’re hoping the next number we celebrate …is Day 1 in his forever home. 🧡”
