Nala is STILL looking for her forever home!

As you all know; Nala has spent over 1.5 years in HOPE and another year and a half in training to overcome her reactivity and prepare for success in a structured, loving home. That’s over 1200 days looking for a home! Despite all her progress, she still has zero adoption applications.

Nala deserves a chance to thrive in a calm, committed home where she can finally feel safe and loved. Let’s find her the family she’s been waiting for!

💌 Interested? Email us at [email protected]

Calling all cold weather lovers! ❄️ We’ve got some dogs for you! Tundra and Yukon are both male Huskies, Jazz is a female Husky and Juno is a female German Shepherd/Saint Bernard mix. They are all looking for new homes and would love to meet you!

Yukon and Tundra are sweet and confident boys who should NOT live with cats and would benefit from active households. Juno is very sensitive and shy so she would do best in a calm and patient home. Jazz is a very enthusiastic petite lady who would love an active family and some additional training on leash. Do you think any of these wonderful (and adorable!) dogs would be a good fit for you? Learn more and fill out an application on our website, www.hopeanimalshelter.org.

UPDATE: FOSTER FOUND!!!!!

We are looking for a medical foster home for Patches, an 11 year old intact male Beagle who was surrendered today after his owner passed away and family wasn't able to take this sweet old guy home. As you can see, Patches is very overweight which is causing him to have breathing issues, specifically issues with his trachea because there is so much fat pressing on it. Patches made a quick visit to the vet today and is now on a bunch of medication in addition to needing to drop 15 pounds. It would be best for Patches to be in a foster home as stress causes him to have issues with his breathing and unfortunately, the shelter is quite full and stressful with so many dogs and visitors. HOPE covers all food, supplies and medical costs. You just need to provide a comfortable, safe, and in this case, a quiet home, for Patches to recover in. Please contact us if you are able to help or if you are interested in adopting this sweet old guy. He is in good health otherwise, just really needs a diet and exercise program so he can breathe easier.

Cheeseball and Puddin Pop are wondering why they haven’t received any interest yet. They are shy but super sweet 4-5 month old male brothers. They are bonded so must be adopted together. They get along with other cats. They love playing and would love a home where they can explore and snuggle together. They’re a 2 for 1 adoption fee.. and you know what they say 2 are always better than 1! If you’re interested in these handsome boys you can fill out an adoption application at www.hopeanimalshelter.org.

**UPDATE: ADOPTED!! **

Buttercup is the most laid back guy you could meet. He’s a 2 year old male. He is definitely a staff favorite. He loves belly rubs and cuddles, and reaches out to anyone when they walk by. He gets along well with other cats. He enjoys playing but once he’s tired out he’s the perfect lap cat too. This guy would fit in in just about any home. If you’re interested in Buttercup you can fill out an adoption application at www.hopeanimalshelter.org.

We’d like to give a heartfelt thank you to Miss Addie. Instead of gifts from Santa for Christmas she asked for goodies for the animals at HOPE. We appreciate this so much! What a sweet, smart girl! ❤️

**UPDATE: ADOPTED!! **

Alexander the Great! The name says it all he’s a great boy! Alex is a 5 year old neutered male that was surrendered to the shelter recently to no fault of his own. He is housebroken and has always been an indoor dog. He doesn’t seem to be a fan of other animals so would probably do best as the only pet. He’s a strong boy that needs regular exercise, but would also be a good couch buddy. If you’re interested in Alexander you can fill out an adoption application at www.hopeanimalshelter.org.

Footage of adoptable bonded pair Cheeseball and Puddin’ Pop! Check out our last post for more info on them or visit our website at www.hopeanimalshelter.org. Come by to meet them and see if they’re a good fit for your family! #adoptdontshop #rescuecat #sheltercat #shelterkitten #bondedpair #catsofinstagram #hopeanimalshelter #ironwoodmichigan #adoptme

Cheeseball and Puddin Pop are very sweet 5-6 month old bonded brothers. They came to the shelter very shy but have decided that people are ok and they love to be pet. They have always been together so we’d love to see them find a home where they could stay together. They get along with other cats and would probably acclimate with a cat friendly dog with some time. If you’re interested in these 2 cuties you can fill out an adoption application at www.hopeanimalshelter.org. Check out some cute photos of them in the comments!

A very, merry PITTOPOTAMUS Christmas to you all! Here, we have all of the adoptable pitties (and bullies) that are waiting for their forever homes @hopeanimalshelter ! 💚🐶❤️ What do you think? Do YOU want a PITTOPOTAMUS for Christmas? 🎁 You won't be disappointed! Thank you to our wonderful, amazing employee/friend for the audio ✨️ #adoptdontshop #shelterdogs #pittiesofinstagram #pittopotamus #adoptabledogsofinstagram #michiganshelterpets #shelterpets #hopeanimalshelter #ironwoodmichigan

As an example of Hugo's squirrelly, goofy personality as mentioned a few days ago, here he is with a case of the zoomies. As always, you can see photos, bios and videos of all the adoptable animals on HOPE's website: www.hopeanimalshelter.org Click on the pet's name or photo and scroll all the way down.

Yesterday's featured Friday the 13th sweet black dog, Anna! As always, you can see photos, bios and videos of all the adoptable animals on HOPE's website: www.hopeanimalshelter.org Click on the pet's name or photo and scroll all the way down.

**UPDATE: ADOPTED! ** This week's featured cat, Henri, loves to be the center of attention and craves affection. As always, you can see photos, bios and videos of all the adoptable animals on HOPE's website: www.hopeanimalshelter.org Click on the pet's name or photo and scroll all the way down.

Bailey Sue loves chasing a ball. Returning the ball to the thrower? Not so much! 😂 As always, you can see photos, bios and videos of all the adoptable animals on HOPE's website: www.hopeanimalshelter.org Click on the pet's name or photo and scroll all the way down.

**UPDATE: ADOPTED!! ** Minnie has been at the shelter the second longest. She came to the shelter very fearful and not trusting of people. She has since warmed up to many of the staff and volunteers. She loves to be pet and has the cutest little chirpy meow. She enjoys treats and canned food. Minnie seems very curious about the other cats so she would probably do ok in a home with another cat. She is about 2 years old and spayed. If you’re interested in Minnie you can fill out an application online at www.hopeanimalshelter.org.

Sweet Bailey Sue, our featured dog this week, is always happy and eager to please. She is now our longest resident dog! Please help her find her forever home. ❤️ As always, you can see photos, bios and videos of all the adoptable animals on HOPE's website: www.hopeanimalshelter.org Click on the pet's name or photo and scroll all the way down.

**UPDATE: ADOPTED!! ** Blue is our longest resident cat. This guy is simply amazing! He gives the very best hugs! This video doesn’t even show it justice. He is a 6 year old neutered male. He prefers a quieter household, no small kids or dogs. He did have some urinary issues when he first came to HOPE, he had a UTI that went untreated and then he ended up with crystals in his urine. So at this point he is on a special urinary food so it doesn’t happen again, which it hasn’t. He’s a clean kitty that just wants to be loved and spoiled. If you’re interested in Blue you can fill out an adoption application at www.hopeanimalshelter.org.

**UPDATE: ADOPTED!! ** Sweetheart just wants to be petted and cuddled by a human. As always, you can see photos, bios and videos of all the adoptable animals on HOPE's website: www.hopeanimalshelter.org Click on the pet's name or photo and scroll all the way down.
