From the Little Traverse Bay Humane Shelter
My big question is: Why am I still here? Isn’t there a forever home somewhere for a unique guy like me. Sure I was a stinker dog when I first came to LTBHS almost two years ago, but time passes and ever since I attended training camp-several times in fact-my behavior has greatly improved. Walker is my name and finding a forever home is what I desire more than anything now. I’m a four year old Australian Cattle dog/boxer mix, a rather large one, which means I have a big loving heart that I’d like to share with you. I was once a stray and boy am I glad that someone cared enough to rescue me. Living out on the streets by myself was not my idea of a good time. My life was not easy and I think there are a few things that you should know about me; I’m trying to be honest here. First, I can’t go to a home with cats-they are just too tempting to chase! And second, everyone here says I’d do best in a home with older children-the little ones might not understand that I don’t like sharing my toys or treats-no exceptions!. And finally, I need a fenced in yard in order to keep me safe and prevent intruders from coming around. But here’s some good news: even though I am extremely choosy about other dogs, I recently found a new girlfriend at the shelter. I loved spending time with her and we had a wonderful time romping around in the yard together! Sadly for me, but happily for her, she now has a forever home. I really miss her, but the point I’m trying to make here is; if you have another canine companion in your home, I’d be open to a meet and greet. And since I’ve put so much effort into my training, I learned plenty about how a well mannered boy should behave. I know that sounds like a lot to take in, but I promise if you’ll give me a chance, I know I can be your best dog ever! |

AC PAWS
Bart is a sweet, very handsome, very special boy who is going to need a very special family. He is a wonderful cat who loves to play and loves to cuddle. He has a lovely, long black coat and eyes that change from gold to green depending on the angle of the light. He likes other cats, dogs and every person he meets. Why a very special family? Bart has a spinal deformity that has limited the use of his back legs. He mainly drags them as he scoots around on smooth floors, but he can get up on them and can use them to push himself to make some great jumps. His foster mom says he is a climber too! It really doesn’t slow him down and he is able to use a litterbox. Bart also has a heart murmur that he was probably born with. It has not presented any problems for him so far, and cats with murmurs can go on to live long, long lives. He is a gem of a cat who deserves a loving home with someone who will understand his special needs. In return, he will love you like crazy! If you would like to adopt Bart, or for more information, go to ACPaw.org and fill out a pre-adoption questionnaire.

From AuSable Valley Animal Shelter
Beautiful Sasha is about 1 1/2 year old. She is not a particularly brave dog and is looking for a calm and confident owner. A quiet home with adults would suit her well. This lovely 35 pound white and brindle girl has the most expressive and impressive ears, all the better to hear those long awaited words, “Let’s go home, Sasha.”
She does well with other nice dogs and loves her treats and tummy rubs. Sasha does not do particularly well with cats so a feline free home would be best.
Sasha came to AVAS from Genesee County Animal Shelter through our Angel Program. She is a sweet and special dog that needs to be loved and gain a bit of confidence. This sweetie has been spayed, is up to date on her vaccinations and has been micro-chipped. She is all ready for his fabulous new life.
For more information, please call the shelter at (989) 348-4117 or e-mail: avascares@yahoo.com
