Recently, my husband, daughter and I attended the Pet-A-Palooza at Freedom Hill in Sterling Heights, MI. WCSX hosted the event over the weekend. There was a large tent full of dogs and cats who were abandoned or unwanted. Honestly, we were not supposed to be adopting anything, just looking around and maybe engaging some of the activites. So, of course, we ended up adopting a Labrador mixed-breed puppy, whom we named Connor. This gave me a chance to learn more about pet rescues, Canine Castle, in particular.

Everyone knows of the Humane Society, but many don't realize that it's not the only place to surrender or adopt a pet. What I really like about Canine Castle in Clinton Twp, MI is that it is a NO-KILL shelter, unlike the Humane Society. If you are unable to care for your pet or you find a stray that needs a home, you can take them to the pet rescue without worrying that the animal will be put down unneccesarily. The animals in the rescue will STAY at the rescue until a good home can be found. Canine Castle Save-A-Pet Rescue in Clinton Twp, MI  is a small, private NO-KILL shelter located within Metro Detroit (15 Mile & Harper). Their mission is to find loving homes for surrendered and abandoned canines. If you visit Petfinder.com, you can view their adoptable animals, just put in the zip code 48035.

Sorry to hear all of you guys adopted Parvo pups too. Hopefully, this article and your comments will be found by someone looking into adopting a pet from them and reconsidering. I actually thought Connor was a special case, but seeing the commonality of Parvo popping up in adopted dogs, I don't think they should even have them up for adoption, knowing that they are sick. BTW, the dog did live and was given to a relative.

I bought a puppy from them and it had parvo. They were very rude about it. Now, I am out money and a puppy that I loved very much. BEWARE!!

My boyfriend and I adopted Sassy, an adorable terrier mix from Canine Castle in May of 2007, only to find out that after one day of having her home that she had Parvo. It took intensive treatments, but the vet ultimately saved her life. We called there to let them know that they had Parvo going around and all they said was "Do you want a refund?" The vet said that they saw a lot of dogs from there with Parvo. Just be on the lookout if you adopt a pet from there. I'd hate to see anyone go thru what we had to.

My human mom saved me from Canine Castle, I wasn't cheap either. And nobody said I was sick........until after getting home. I wasn't wormed correctly from whoever they say does it for canine castle, I was very very sick I had round worm and other germs. I scared my human mom I was so sick. But, she had a wonderful vet that saved my life. Canine Castle doesn't take care of little guys like me, quick set the other pets in there free. And they should give them away for $1.00 because you will need lots and lots of money for the vet bills to make them not sick.

I agree with Sullivision. I just adopted a dog from Canine Castle and it had Parvo. They never should have let this dog be adopted. They are horrible.

How weird, I just commented on your other article and I reference Canine Castle then I look down at your next article and it is about them. I'm glad that you had a better experince with them than I did, but I was told by both my vet and a local well known pet store that Canine Castle is not a reputable place. It's too bad, being that they don't euthanize animals and all.
