***FOSTERS NEEDED***
We have 4 Rottweiler/American Bulldog puppies that we would like to find Foster homes for. Barry, Chester, Theo and Betsy. They are almost 6 months old and have spent a significant time in a home situation. They can all be a bit shy when meeting someone but warm up quickly. They are all intelligent and compliant to instruction. They are not overly jumpy or nippy but are still puppies. Very sweet, would be good with children in the home, and possibly other animals. They are scheduled for Spay/Neuter on July 10th so arrangements will need to be made for getting them to Little Traverse Veterinary Clinic that morning. Charlevoix Area Humane Society would prefer to be doing the transport. They will need a minimum of 5 to 7 days recovery time after surgery in the foster home, and will then become available for adoption. Fosters will need to be local and available to bring the puppies in to the shelter when potential adopters wish to meet them.

Meet our Pet of the Week, Gypsy!

Well, hello there! The name's Gypsy and it's just so great to meet you! I'm a 3-year-old Shepherd mix who found my way here after being in a giant facility downstate where there were way too many dogs. The nice staff here at the shelter opened their doors to me and gave me a nice place to stay, and I have to say, I like it much better here.
The staff here tells me I'm "quite the character" whatever that means. I'm the fastest girl around and love speeding through the backyard, sometimes I even go so fast I forget where I'm going and have found myself crashing into something or other. That's okay though, I get right back up and I'm ready to run again! My dream human would be someone who is very active, like me. I'd love to go for walks and hikes, and I'd even give swimming in the lake a shot if they let me.
My past is a bit of a mystery, but what I do know is that I do not like other dogs, so a home where I can be the only pet would probably be best. I seem to be house trained and they tell me I do a great job of keeping my kennel clean. Stop by and say hello to me, and maybe we can start our very own adventure together!

This week's Pet of the Week is Meadow!
Meadow came to our shelter as a transfer from Van Buren County with her sibling Misty. Unfortunately, we don't know anything about their past and how they ended up at the shelter. What we do know is that both of the girls are sweet as can be despite being very shy with people upon first meeting. Being in a shelter environment can be extremely stressful on dogs. But given the time and space to open up, Meadow loves nothing more than some treats and cuddles from her favorite humans. Meadow has tested heartworm positive, to a very minor degree. What this means is that for the time being, her activity needs to be minimalized. Which means no time outside with the other dogs. That said, Meadow is able to have leashed walks and improves everyday! No aggressive treatment for her condition has been recommended. She will need to have monthly over the counter heartworm treatment, such as interceptor+. It's also a good idea to keep in touch with your veterinarian, as she will have to have exams every 6 months. She doesn't let a little thing like that keep her down though! Meadow is ready to meet her new forever family, and you could be the recipient of all the love she has to give!
