Since several of you have asked - our Amazon wishlist!
We're starting to sound like a broken record, but our outreach pantry is looking pretty bare ๐
The emergency demand for food and supplies is higher than ever - we're getting more calls every day from pet owners in need. Which means, we're once again putting out a plea for donations! The biggest demand currently is for dry adult dog food and cat litter, but we accept all types of pet foods and supplies that we can then provide to individuals in need.
Donations may be dropped off to the shelter (800 Livingston) any time during business hours, 10am-5pm weekdays and 9am-1pm Saturdays. And thank you, for helping us provide for our community and helping keep pets with their families โค๏ธ

Today we had our yearly visit from the Bay City Department of Public Safety's Youth Leadership Academy students!
Students got a feel for daily shelter operations, helped walk dogs and socialize cats, and even got to meet some of the more unusual types of animals that we come into contact with ๐พ
We love getting the opportunity to give these students a peek at our particular corner of public safety here at Animal Services, and thank them for sharing their time with us this week!

Request for Information -
This tortie kitten was found today, abandoned in a soft-sided carrier near the location of the old Chuckie's market. She has been recently spayed (within the last month), and has a tattoo that we believe is likely from All About Animals. She is not microchipped and is not tipped.
If you know where this kitten may have come from, please contact our office at 989-894-0679 ๐พ
We've got a few thank-yous to send out tonight...
This past week, we fielded reports of a dog that had been on the run for at least a week. Thursday, we were finally able to catch him...in the meantime, citizens Doug Schweitzer and his wife (who live in the area the dog was spotted in) paired up with Tom Sequin from Sequin Lumber, and built an XL livetrap with supplies donated by the business. They've since donated this trap. SO, help us thank them, as well as our officers who were on the case, for their efforts in bringing this deserving pooch to safety. The dog in question is special-needs and has some medical concerns, so we're not sharing him just yet, but he is already well-loved and we'll be thrilled to introduce him when the time is right โค๏ธ

Both of our special-needs kitties are ready to start interviewing for forever families!
Sydney is a beautiful 1 year old classic tabby/torbie girl who has a cleft palate. She came to us very underweight, turned in as a surrender for euthanasia, and it's taken some trial and error to get her eating well - an approved adopter will need to be willing to keep up on the dietary suggestions we make. Despite this, she is SUPER social, adores people, and should do just fine in a household with other pets if fed separately. She will be more prone to respiratory issues and sneezes frequently due to the opening between her palate and sinuses.
Einstein is the long-haired blue boy, and is 15-16 weeks old. Einey was born with cerebellar hypoplasia, or CH. This is a congenital malformation of the cerebellum that affects motor function - it makes him very clumsy, and he will need a home willing to put some extra work into kitty-proofing their home to help prevent him from hurting himself. He is also SASSY due to being raised as an "only child" and is still learning bite inhibition during play. We are looking for a home for him without young kids (over 10, please), but again, he should do well with other animals.
Interested in adding either of these "special" kitties to your family? Please visit our office for an application, but note that we will be a little more particular in picking their new families because of their needs ๐ฉท

Where are our mid-size (20-50 #) dog fans at? We've got you covered!
All of these faces are awaiting spay/neuter, but will be available before the end of the Empty the Shelters event ๐พ We'd love to have approved applicants lined up for when their surgeries are done (all are scheduled over the next 2 weeks) and have homes waiting for them - that means get your applications in ASAP!
Paper applications are available at the shelter office, or an electronic version is available on the county website and can be submitted via email.
Don't forget - tomorrow starts Empty the Shelters! Adoption fees to approved applicants will be as follows...
Kittens (under 6 months) $50
Cats (6 months and older) $25
Dogs (no puppies currently available) $50
We have a handful of kittens that will be moving up to adoption tomorrow for the event, so make sure to stop in and meet your new best friend ๐ฑ

PLEASE NOTE!
The shelter will be closed Thursday for the 4th of July holiday. For animal-related emergencies, please dial 911.
As we stated earlier in the week, the 4th of July holiday is the busiest week of the year for strays. Today's stray dogs have already filled the last of our large kennels, so PLEASE make every effort to keep your dogs safe and at home, where they belong.

Our kennels and cat rooms will open to the public at noon on Monday, December 4th.
We are strongly encouraging anyone who wants to come check out our adoptables to schedule an appointment time. Otherwise, there may be a wait, as we will be limiting the number of individuals in our kennels at one time. We cannot put holds on any animals for or during the event.
Adoption applications will be required and may be filled out in our shelter office, or submitted via email prior to your visit. Existing pets in the home must have current rabies vaccines, and renters must have landlord permissions prior to adopting. ๐พ
The event fee schedule will be as follows...
Cats/kittens $25
Dogs $50
There is a limit of 2 adoptions per household.
We do not currently have any adoptable small dogs or puppies under 8 months old.

We still have a couple of LOVELY kittens on the adoption floor - these cuties are between 3 and 4 months old, already fixed and vaccinated, and ready to find forever families ๐ฅฐ
*Update returned for chasing squirrels :( Once again available for adoption* "I could never do what you guys do" We hear that from a lot of people. But Zara here is exactly why we do what we do. She's a love sponge. A velcro dog. Waiting for one special person to call her own. She's the last thing we see before we turn off the lights for the night, when we tell all of the dogs that we'll see them again in the morning (even though we'd rather not - we'd rather they sleep soundly on a comfy couch, in a forever home). We know her person is out there - they just haven't found her yet โค๏ธ
*ADOPTED* It's finally time...Crispin is ready for adoption! Some of you may remember us posting this boy a couple of weeks ago, after his enucleation (eye removal) surgery. He's finally ready to start interviewing for a forever home ๐พ Crispy is probably one of the most affectionate cats you'll ever meet. What does this mean? He's pushy about his love. He should probably go to a home with another youngish cat to help keep him busy. If not, don't be surprised if he develops a habit of waking you up at 2am looking for hugs. He's also the type to crawl up a pant leg or jump on your back for attention, so he'd probably be a bit overwhelming for little kids. He's codependency in cat form ๐ Think you can handle that much affection? Visit our office or message us for an application!
Who's looking for a dog-friendly dog??? Zuri and Penny are both healed up from their spay/neuter surgeries, and ready to find their forever homes! Both these pups are 8-9 months old, with Zuri being (likely) husky/pittie mix and Penny being aussie shep/heeler mix. Both need some continued work on their puppy manners, so we're recommending homes with kids over 12 (especially for Penny, as her herding instincts are strong!), but both have done very well with canine friends, and would likely prefer homes with a doggy playmate ๐ฅฐ
It's been a busy week! Yesterday, staff was in early for our monthly spay/neuter transport...we sent almost 30 kitties, and 5 dogs out for surgery ๐ Everyone is back today and in recovery - most will be available for adoption starting next Monday for the start of Empty the Shelters!
Our Cat of the Week, Darlene, checking in! She (and her kitten David, also shown) is still looking for her forever home...don't forget, as one of our Pets of the Week her adoption fee is half off through Saturday ๐
Big thanks to Pet Supplies Plus - Bay City, MI for bringing over the frozen treats for our doggos today...it's much appreciated in this heat!
These are our kennels, as most of you never get to see them. Quiet. Calm. Dogs busy with enrichment, and comfortable around the staff members that they know. We've had lots of comments lately about the noise levels, and the amount of barking, and even a couple visitors accusing our dogs of being "aggressive". But this right here is why we ask visitors not to judge our dogs based on their kennel behaviors. Strangers constantly walking through is stressful. Overexcited or upset children are stressful. Our dogs get overstimulated and overexcited, which leads to excessive barking and stressed kennel behaviors. If you are genuinely interested in adding a canine family member to your home, ask our staff about our dogs. Let us help you find a good match for your living situation. Be respectful of the fact that our kennels are over-full, and help us reduce unwanted kennel stress - Don't stick hands or fingers into kennels. Let children who maybe can't handle the noise stay home unless you have an appointment set up with a specific dog for a meet. And please take note of the kennel etiquette that's posted when you enter both our office and the kennels. Let's make the time that our shelter residents stay with us as pleasant as possible, for both our pets and our visitors โค๏ธ
We just moved *14* newly adoptable kittens up to the adoption floor for the LAST DAY of #emptytheshelters ๐ Come visit them today for your last chance to adopt for only $25!
It's the last day for #emptytheshelters and we have some lovely dogs and kitties still waiting to meet you! Stop in this afternoon and meet your new best friend ๐ฅฐ
Who likes their kittens with mittens? We've got some SUPER cute polydactyl babies available for adoption starting tomorrow ๐ป We don't currently have room for them on the adoption floor, but stop in to our office and fill out an application for pre-approval in order to meet these kids - they qualify for Empty the Shelters through Monday!
*PENDING ADOPTION* ๐ฅณ Looking for a big kitty? We've got your girl! Meet Persia - this girl came to us in neglected condition and very badly matted. She's had a partial shave, been brought up to date on her medical, and is ready to start looking for her forever โค๏ธ Interested in meeting her? Please call our office to set up an appointment time, as she is too big to fit in our public room cages and as such isn't currently on the adoption floor ๐พ
