Let’s help JohnnaMac find his forever home! 🐶💖

This sweet 5-month-old pup is waiting at Happy Feet Pet Rescue for someone to love him as much as he’ll love them. Here’s why JohnnaMac might just be your perfect match:

✨ Smart & Eager to Learn – Already crate trained, working hard on house training, and even knows to sit by the door when he needs to go out! He just needs a little help staying on track.
✨ Dog’s Best Friend – Loves other dogs and learns from them.
✨ Treat Lover Extraordinaire – His food motivation makes training a breeze.
✨ Shoe Organizer in Training – Be warned: he’s a fan of chewing shoes left out! (Perfect excuse to keep your space tidy. 😉)

JohnnaMac is curious but cautious, navigating the world with a mix of bravery and sweetness. With love and patience, he’ll bloom into the loyal companion you’ve been searching for.

🏡 Ready to meet this good boy? Apply to meet him at HappyFeetPetRescue.com and make JohnnaMac a part of your family!

📣 Share this post to help JohnnaMac find his people! Every share makes a difference. 💕

🐾 – Meet Arlo! 🐾

This stunning 5-year-old German Shepherd has been soaking up the comforts of foster life, and we’ve got the inside scoop from his foster home! 💕

Arlo is working hard on building his confidence with other dogs, and he’s already making great strides! His foster shared that he’s a total sweetheart who loves routine and structure:

✨ Highlights from Foster Life:

Arlo might have wanted to be the one driving on the way home, but he settled in nicely after being tethered in the backseat. 🚗💨

He’s nailing his commands like "sit," "down," "paw," and even practicing his kennel time! 🐾

His mornings start bright and early with potty breaks and a hearty breakfast (sometimes scattered around the house for a fun scavenger hunt!).

He’s even a champ at taking his meds when mixed with a little yogurt—what a good boy!

Arlo’s gentle nature, caramel-brindled coat, and big heart make him the perfect loyal companion. Whether you’re looking for quiet moments or a partner to share life’s adventures, Arlo is ready to be by your side. 💖

If you think Arlo could be the one for you, let’s make it happen! And just as a reminder, his adoption fee is only $25 thanks to BISSELL Pet Foundation!

❄️ Cold Weather Tips for Pets ❄️
As temperatures drop, here’s how you can help keep pets safe and comfortable this winter:

🐾 Bring Pets Inside
Whenever possible, keep pets indoors. Even setting them up in a bathroom or laundry room can make a huge difference. If you need a crate to make bringing them inside easier, please contact us—we’d be happy to help!

🐾 Outdoor Pet Care
If pets must stay outside, ensure they have:
•A draft-free shelter with plenty of straw for insulation.
•Access to fresh, unfrozen water—use a heated bowl or replace water often.
•Extra food to keep up with the calories they burn staying warm.

🐾 Car Safety
Cats and small animals may seek warmth in car engines. Always bang on your car’s hood before starting it to avoid injuries.

🐾 Paw Care
Use pet-safe de-icing salt and clean pets' paws after walks to prevent irritation from chemicals.

🐾 Indoor Enrichment
For pets staying inside, try food puzzles or enrichment toys to keep them mentally stimulated and prevent boredom.

💛 Need Help?
ICACS offers free doghouses and straw to Ingham County residents. Stop by the shelter at 600 Buhl St., Mason, MI if you’re in need.

New Cat Portals

🐾 Exciting Upgrades in Our Cat Room! 🐾 If you've been to the shelter recently, you may have noticed some changes in our adoptable cat room. We’re thrilled to share that our adoptable cat kennels now have portals! These portals give our cats more space and the ability to choose what makes them most comfortable. 💡 Here’s how it works: If a cat wants some quiet time, they can relax in the bottom kennel and enjoy their alone time. If they’re feeling social, they can jump up to the top kennel to interact with visitors. A huge thank you to the Ingham County Animal Shelter Fund for making this upgrade possible! The cats are already loving the portals, as you can see in this video of Swizzle showing off how they work. 😻
