From the Little Traverse Bay Humane Shelter
Hi, my name is Minister and I’m a one and a half year old German Shepherd, probably a mix, although I think I look pretty close to the real thing-close enough anyway to convince Shepherd lovers I hope. I’m a sweet guy with everyone I meet except cats. No cats for me. And due to my extra large size and greedy eating habits, everyone thought young children wouldn’t be a good idea. If you have another dog, please feel free to bring him or her in for a meet and greet. I’m on restriction at this time so I’m not suppose to overexert myself. Leash walk only and that sort of thing. I guess it will be a few months before I can be really active again. My staff will explain the details to you when you come in for a visit. I guarantee you’ll be impressed with my fairly good manners and extremely handsome self. In return, I can hardly wait to meet my new forever family. I sure hope it’s you!
I’m so petite that it’s difficult to imagine that I was a mama cat once upon a time. And even though I’m no longer a mother and can never have a family of kittens again, I still like to watch over and comfort the little babies that come through here. I love them all so much and cannot get enough of their little kisses and purrs. I have a very loving nature and I hope that my new forever family will appreciate this. My name is Bubbles and I’m a sweet little grey tiger cat. I was found as a stray and hope with all my big loving heart that I’ll soon have a forever home of my own. Purrs and kisses and kisses and purrs.

From the Charlevoix Humane Society
Meet Millie. She has found her confidence and although still a bit unsure of new people she has shown signs of her true self. She is such a sweetheart! Millie needs a family that will give her lots of love, hugs and kisses. She loves to play fetch and spend time in the sunshine! Millie can easily climb a 6 foot fence so perhaps an underground fence would be best. She will be a wonderful companion for a family that is looking for a forever pet. Millie is very fond of the other dogs. Millie will need an active family to wear her out.

From AuSable Valley Animal Shelter
My name is Sierra and I’m looking for a family to call my own. I’m a mixed breed and I am four years old. Just because I’m four doesn’t mean I’m going to be good on my leash. I might pull just to warn you but with some time and patience I bet I could catch on! Even though I’m an adorable dog, I lack confidence and I’m a bit nervous around kids so I would need my family’s kids to be a little older. I hope you can understand and just love me. I’m very good with other dogs, but I could care less about cats. Cats are sneaky, so if they’re living with me, just don’t let them take my toys. Oh, and I really love toys so please make sure I have plenty! I’m ready for you to make room for me in your loving home so what are you waiting for?
For more information, please call the shelter at (989) 348-4117 or e-mail: avascares@yahoo.com
