My name is Gratiot and I am the first dog who was saved by LDDR from Detroit Animal Control. I was found as a stray and taken to DAC and let me tell you that is one place you don’t ever want to go to!! I’m so thankful to be in a foster home now. My fur is really matted because I was not being cared for so my foster mom made me an appointment at the groomer. I can’t wait to look and smell good again.  I’ve been told I am a gentle giant. I am very malnourished and I should be about 110lbs so my foster mom is trying to fatten me up! I am a very sweet, smart boy. I know sit, I am great on a leash and I’m fully house trained. I’m crate trained but I keep trying to tell my foster mom (with those sad, sad eyes) that I don’t need a crate but she says I am safer in a crate right now. I have had all my shots and I’m fixed. We just found out that I am Heartworm positive because my previous owners did not give me my heartworm preventive each month. Thankfully LDDR will pay to have me treated so I can live out the rest of my life healthy and happy. Having Heartworms normally doesn’t have any long term effects on my life but my new owners will have to give me the normal heartworm preventives that all my other dog friends get each month so that I don’t ever get this again. I am available for adoption on 12-18-15.

If you would like to meet or adopt me, please fill out an online application. For more information email his foster mother at: cbrookszy@yahoo.com .

Last Day Dog Rescue now microchips all dogs/cats before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the dog's/cat’s shoulder blades and are a permanent form of identification. The microchips are registered to Last Day Dog Rescue with the adopter's info added once adopted. If the dog/cat is ever lost and slips his/her collar/tags the microchip allows the finder to know who to contact if scanned for a microchip. Dogs and cats MUST still have a collar with tags on at all times. Per our contract, we take all our dogs and cats back if for any reason you can't keep your adopted dog or cat.

The  petfinder.com  system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs and cats. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
