From the Little Traverse Bay Humane Shelter
It’s not too often you run across a dog with an amiable personality like mine. I like to take everything in stride with a grin on my face. I even give away kisses to passersby. Yep, I’m that kind of guy. My name is Aspen and I’m a eleven month old Lab/Basset mix-not too tall and not too short. I’m very long though and when the mood hits I like to howl-only a little. I’m okay with older children and high energy dogs that like to play a lot, but cats are a temptation and I like to chase them. It would probably be a good idea if I could meet your furry friend before I join your family, because I’m a guy that’s very personable and some dogs are offended by that. So if you’re the high energy type and would like a canine companion to share your adventures with, then be sure to come check me out, my name is Aspen.

Hello everyone, my name is Gris and if you are wondering how to pronounce that I will tell you; it sounds like gree. I was an owner surrender which means my previous family gave me up for adoption. It was necessary due to those unusual things that come along in most everyone’s life and there is nothing that can be done. Unfortunately for me and my furry friends, we lost our loving forever home, but since I’m an optimistic girl, I know there will be another loving family that will give us a home. I’m a big grey and white cat that is eight years old and because I shared a home with other cats and dogs, I’m comfortable with them both. It may take me awhile to get used to new furry faces, but give me some time and I’ll adjust. I hope to see you soon, my name is Gris which rhymes with Brie.

AC PAWS
AGNES IS OUR AC PAW PET OF THE WEEK. Agnes is an adorable, funny, very active girl! She is one of 86 cats and kittens that were rescued by AC PAW in Kingsley. They had been living in and around an empty trailer that had to be torn down, so all the cats were living outside with no shelter. Agnes is a very friendly kitty, but will sometimes will play too rough because that is what she was used to with her outdoor buddies. Agnes is not afraid of non-aggressive dogs if introduced slowly. All the volunteers that have met Agnes have fallen in love with her. She craves the love and attention she has never received and so deserves. You can meet Agnes at Petsmart. We know when you meet her you will fall in love with her too. She is a short hair tabby and white kitty and is just 1 1/2 years old. If you would like to adopt Agnes, go to ACPaw.org and fill out a pre-adoption questionnaire.

From the Charlevoix Humane Society
Chuck is one of ten dogs the we brought in from another shelter that was overwhelmed with dogs. His breed is a mix of Basenji and maybe Terrier. Chuck is around two years of age.
One of the traits of the Basenji is standing back and observing people. He needs to warm up to you, and when he does, he will be next to you always.
Chuck is a dog that will need to be in an active home. He would do best if he had a job to do. This is probably not the breed of dog that would want to set next to you and watch TV. Chuck would make a great running partner. If you are looking for a loyal, intelligent dog, than Chuck may be a good choice.
The Charlevoix Human Society’s mission is to practice and promote the principle that every life is precious. As such, we are committed to the highest principles of humane care and professional treatment of injured, ill, neglected or abused animals.

From Cheboygan County Humane Society
Antonio is still looking for his forever home!! He has been with us since he was about 4 weeks old, and he about about 1 1/2 years old now. He was born with a deformed rear leg but that does not stop him from having fun!! Antonio is still on the skittish side but does warm up to people quickly now and loves to be petted!! He can play a little rough at times but never learned to play without using his claws. Antonio is neutered and UTD on shots, adoption fee is $25.00. The best home for Antonio would be where he’s the only pet and no small kids.
