From the Little Traverse Bay Humane Shelter
Looking for a sweet dog that is perfect in most every way? Then maybe we have something in common, because I just happen to be looking for the almost perfect forever family. I realize no one is totally perfect, but we like to think that we’re pretty darn close and I’m all for that. My name is Gigi and I’m a four year old Rottweiler mix in need of a loving home without cats. Cats are my weakness, they bring out the naughtiness in me. Other than that I’m a great dog. I even like car rides! However, I may need to meet your other dog before we make any commitments. Once in a while I find a canine that doesn’t agree with me, but for the most part I’m usually friendly with everyone-except for cats that is, please don’t forget about that. If you could just take a few moments to come visit with me, I could give you a demonstration of my charming personality. I hope to see you soon.
Did you ever watch that funny Halloween movie as a kid and think it would be neat to have a talking cat? Well, just like the cat in Hocus Pocus, my name is Binx and I promise to talk to you every day if I’m able to join your family—in my own way, at least. I’m only two years old and I arrived with a bunch of my friends to LTBHS. So far, no one has really paid too much attention to us, maybe because some people think black cats are boring (more like sophisticated in my opinion!) or there are still some that find black cats superstitious. Whatever the reason, I hope you will stop by to say hello and let my loving personality speak for itself!

Dasher has the cutest snout and floppy ears for a reason – he loves to run and run and run! Full of energy, he will make a great addition to any family that loves to hike, play outside, and go for adventures. But at the end of the day when he is all tuckered out, Dasher will snuggle on the couch or in your lap, and be your best friend in the world.

From the Charlevoix Humane Society
Shamus is our elder statesman. He had been living a quiet life on Beaver Island until his owner passed away. Now he waits quietly in a scary place for someone to rescue him. Shamus has many of the things that haunt dogs when they get older, he is deaf, partially blind and slow moving. We believe that given the proper foods and medications Shamus will be able to regain some of the muscle and energy he has lost. If you think you may be the right one to give Shamus a warm, safe home for his golden months, now is the time.
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. For more information on pets that are available for adoption or to donate, visit the shelter at 614 Beardsley Street in Boyne City or online at www.charlevoixhumane.org

Tito is a 2 year old Pit bull mix. He is neutered, chipped and up to date on shots. His adoption fee is $90.00. He did come to us as a stray but was not claimed and is now looking for a forever home. Tito was introduced to another dogs and that didn’t go over very well. Tito appears to be house and crate trained. However, he will need lots of help with the leash thing. Tito seems to be very sweet and friendly and loves treats. If you are interested in Tito and have a dog/s currently in your home, we require a meet and greet at the shelter between Tito and the current dog/s.
