The pups are so happy after all the COLD COLD weather to be getting out for longer playtimes!
We thought this video of Hades was a great way to introduce a newer resident. I think it's safe to say he loves toys! And SNOW!

Reach out, to learn more about Hades and all our adoptable dogs! (And don't forget the cats!)

Meet Lani! She's our Pet of the Week and she is an absolute doll! She just loves people and wants them to love her back! She appears to be around 3-4yr old, weighs 30 # and is some sort of Wire Hair Terrier mix. We've found that she is not a fan of other dogs, and would do best as an only dog. Cats she seems unbothered by, but it's hard to say when she only has eyes for the person next to her. She's going to make a wonderful companion to someone who loves to snuggle and go for walks.
To find out more about Lani, go to www.homewardboundmanistee.org. The All Pets Bulletin is brought to you by Little River Casino Resort and of course by the Homeward Bound Animal Shelter. Catch it Tuesday Mornings on Eagle 101.5!

Today's wish list ask is focused on dogs! We are really excited to have had a lot of new dog walkers volunteering, it's AMAZING. To help with that we'd love to restock our supply of slip leads for safe walks (we use a double leash system). Having training treats on hand allow those volunteers to not only help with our dog's exercise needs, but reinforce good habits at the same time. This all sets them up for a success future!
Thank you to all our new volunteers, and if you are interested in helping out - send us a message!

This week's pet of the week is Floe. A gorgeous short hair Tortoiseshell feline, she fully embodies what people think of when they think of a “Tortie”. Floe is active, s***ky and fiercely independent! She seeks attention on her own terms and when you’ve earned her trust. Trust takes a little time with this lady so unfortunately she’s been with us quite some time. We are hoping to find the family for her that will see what we see, the endless joy and entertainment provided by her shenanigans, who will give her all the love when she wants it.

2024 PUBS4PAWS results are in! This fun event raised over $6700 thanks to the hard work of the partipating locations, the bar tenders and servers, and the generous support of their patrons. We are blessed and honored to have such a great community supporting our mission in giving the homeless Manistee County dogs and cats the care they need and the love they deserve until they find their furever homes!

Grille 44 took first, T.J.’s Pub took second, and The Painted Lady took third.
The top two sellers were from Grille 44, Lacey and Monica. The third top seller was Kayla from the Salty Heifer. Thanks to Meijer for donating gift cards for these hard-selling women!

Thanks to all the locations that participated. Grille 44, T.J’s Pub, The Painted Lady, The Blue Slipper, Rosie’s, Stu’s, The Civic Club, Jailhouse Bar, Moose Lodge, Redneck Yacht Club, Trak’s, The Salty Heifer, Chopo’s Northside, Third Life Brewing and El Toro. Every dollar raised appreciated and needed!

Double the trouble! Or Double the fun? I love some of our sibling duos and their sibling antics. The cuddles that turn to grooming and quickly manifest into a wrestling match before right back to cuddles!
Come meet some of our dynamic duos and witness all the joy they could bring to your home.

Oh sweet Sally! I was sitting with her after we closed today and everyone was gone, because i needed a pick me up and I knew she’d be ready to provide it. I call this a Sally “sighting” because most adopters who come and go during open hours will never meet her. She’ll be tucked under a couple blankets, hiding out from the chaos - if we coax her out to meet someone like I did today she’ll quickly find a corner. She’s a timid girl at first and unfortunately that’s earned her the title of our longest resident. When things stop being hectic and you’ve earned her trust, the love she has for you is unending and so sweet and you learn she wants attention as much as our most outgoing cats. She just needs her chance, even if I’ll have to find my end of day cuddle session from someone new.
❤️

Oakley is a 2-3 year old Medium size, Mystery mix and he's our Pet of the Week! This wiggle-butt boy is desperate for love and affection and a companion that will show him what a safe home looks like. He was underweight when he came to us, and his ears show signs of past hematomas, likely due to having untreated ear infections. Oakley loves everyone he meets and wants to be all over them. He likes other dogs, zooming in the yard, and needs work on a leash - we think this is a brand new concept for him! He's going to be so loyal to the perfect companion.

To find out more about Oakley, go to www.homewardboundmanistee.org. The All Pets Bulletin is brought to you by Little River Casino Resort and of course by the Homeward Bound Animal Shelter. Catch it Tuesday Mornings on Eagle 101.5!

Meet Jumping Bean Jasper! We believe this sweet boy to be about a year old, and possibly a Smooth Fox Terrier mix. He is full of energy and s***k. If you are looking for a super active companion, he's your guy! He weighs in at just 26 # - but his zoomies are weightless! Jasper doesn't do well with chickens - but seems to be fine with other dogs. Despite all that energy he does love to curl up and cuddle as well.
