From scared and skinny to joyful and thriving—Bonnaroo’s glow-up is one for the books. 💛

Her adopter Ed reached out to share this heartwarming update:
"About a year and a half ago you introduced me to a little lady named Bonnaroo. At the time, she was pretty scared and not super trusting. Now? She’s my best friend. We moved to a new house out in the country, and she’s completely at home—she loves the rain, adores the snow, and even made best buddies with my cat Taco. Thank you for letting me meet her. My life is so much better now."

Thank you, Ed, for giving this sweet girl the life she deserves. 🐶❄️🐱❤️

🎉 It’s time for the big reveal! 🧬🐾

This week’s star, Pasta (formerly Bao), had us all guessing and her DNA results did not disappoint!

Adopted from our shelter back in January, Pasta is now living her best life in a loving home. Her family was just as curious as we were to learn what mix made up this short-legged sweetheart… and now we know!

Huge thanks to her adopters for sharing her results and for giving her the happy ending all shelter pets deserve. 💛

🎉 Happy 9th Birthday, Olivia! 🎉

Thank you, Olivia, for being such an incredible friend to the animals. Your kindness makes a difference, and we hope you had an amazing birthday! 🐶🐱🎂

Say hello to Pasta! 🍝 You may remember her as Bao, who was adopted from our shelter back in January. Her new family recently got her DNA results back and they were just as curious as we were to find out what mix made up this adorable, stubby-legged sweetheart.

✨ Think you can guess Pasta’s breed mix? Drop your guesses in the comments and we’ll reveal her DNA results tomorrow!

Please note that Pasta is not available for adoption. She’s living her best life in a loving home. 💛 But her story is the perfect reminder that shelter dogs are full of surprises, and every one of them is 100% original.

🚗🐾 It’s time for this week’s Pet of the Week at Empire Motors Of Lansing!

Meet Valentine, a calm, gentle husky mix looking for love (and maybe a road trip buddy). ❤️

Big thanks to Empire Motors for sponsoring Valentine's adoption fee! ✨

☕️🐾 Pup Cup Break! 🐾☕️

Valentine Chantry may have a fancy name, but this gentleman is as down-to-earth as they come. 💙 This 6-year-old husky recently took a trip to Biggby Coffee 517, where he politely accepted his pup cup and enjoyed every moment.

True to his breed, Valentine is independent and composed. He’s not much for rowdy play—he prefers to simply coexist with his dog friends and take in the world at his own pace. No howling, no drama… just calm companionship and those signature husky good looks. 🐺

If your idea of the perfect dog is one who’s content to stroll by your side, chill by your feet, and keep you company without being clingy, Valentine might just be your perfect match. ❤️

Come meet this low-key legend and see for yourself why he’s the king of cool.

UPDATE: ADOPTED!

Update: Zibo was adopted!

💛 Meet Zibo 💛

Found sitting alone on a sidewalk on MSU's campus after the students moved out, Zibo was clearly someone’s pet once. Just not someone who planned to come back for them.

Thin and undernourished, Zibo was lucky to be found before it was too late. We don’t know if they’re a boy or a girl, but we do know this: Zibo is a beautiful cockatiel with a big personality and a lot of love left to give. 🐦

Zibo seems to have had quite a bit of out-of-cage time in the past and even knows how to “step up", a sign that someone once spent time training them. Now they’re looking for a second chance with someone who truly understands what it means to care for a bird.

Zibo is looking for:
⚽ A large enclosure with space to stretch and play
🧠 Plenty of out-of-cage time and enrichment
🥗 A healthy, pelleted diet (they’re still adjusting!)
🦜 A home with cockatiel or parrot experience
📆 A commitment to a 10–15 year life span

Zibo has already been through too much. They deserve a forever home where they’re never left behind again.

If you are interested in adopting Zibo, please stop by the shelter to meet them!

A Huge Thank You to Genevieve & Elli! 💛

These two incredible young animal lovers held a yard sale and then used the money they earned to buy donations for the shelter! 🐾

We’re so grateful for your generosity, your compassion, and your big hearts. Thank you for being such amazing friends to the animals at ICACS! 💙

😻 Does your cat need a cat? Because Lil E Tee is that friend.

This handsome tabby is friendly, outgoing, and a certified professional bestie to every cat he meets. He’s been hanging out in our cat room making instant friendships only to watch each of his new pals get adopted while he stays behind.

Why? Well... Lil E Tee has a quirky little habit: he loves to hide under blankets. Yep, this affectionate guy is often overlooked because he's tucked away in his cozy fort. But lift up that blanket and boom! You've got a snuggle-ready sweetheart who’s been waiting patiently for his turn.

💛 Loves other cats
💛 Friendly and people-social
💛 Would do great in most homes
💛 Adoption fee is just $10

Lil E Tee has been with us for 55 days. Longer than any other cat at the shelter. Let’s find this gentle boy a home (maybe one with a fellow feline friend?) where he can be loved and allowed to burrow under all the blankets he wants.

Come meet him today, you might just uncover your new best friend. 🐾
