Meet Dora- Livestock Guardian

Dora is an appx 3-year-old livestock guardian mix who has spent her life outside, performing the duties of a livestock guardian dog. True to her breed(s), trust is earned and not given freely. Once you are in her inner circle, she is as sweet and docile as can be. Until then, she is leery and wants to keep her distance. She is also missing an eye, which adds to her suspiciousness of new things. We know it will take a special home to include Dora, but we remain hopeful that her forever person/people are out there! If you think you have the right environment for Dora, call the shelter at 906 632 2519 to set up an appointment to meet with her. Please understand that you may need to visit her several times before she can go home with you. If you have another dog in the home, a meet and greet is required before bringing Dora home. Please call for the quickest response to inquiries as messages sent through FB, Petfinder, and email are not always closely monitored.

Meet Ruby- Wonderful Senior Girl

Ruby is a happy, friendly, near-perfect senior dog looking for a great retirement home. She is 8 years old (young) and still has lots of spring in her step. Ruby enjoys going on walks and cuddling with her family most in life. She has lived with children, other dogs, and cats, although her family thinks she would do better without feline friends. She is best placed with children 5 and up, as she can get scared of very small children. Ruby is housebroken and can be left home without problems. If you would like to give Ruby the best golden years of her life, call the shelter at 906 632 2519 to set up an appointment to meet her. Please call for the quickest response to inquiries as FB, Petfinder, and email are not always closely monitored. If you have another dog in the home, a meet and greet is required before brining Ruby home.

Ziggy, AKA: Ziggers, Ziggity-Do-Da is a 4-year-old mystery mix with a loooooooooong body and short stack legs. He's quite the unique little guy. He came to us severely malnourished and has been recovering and putting on weight in a foster home for the past several months. He's now chunky and ready to move on to his forever home! Ziggy is in foster with two other dogs and would enjoy having a canine friend or two in the home. He could be the only dog as well, as long as there's plenty of affection doled out to him. He is housebroken, knows basic cues, and can be left alone without problems (other than counter surfing if you leave food on the table!). He may have short legs, but he can jump! Ziggy is extremely food motivated and loves chew toys. He is a cuddle bug that would enjoy sleeping in bed, but if you provide him with his own comfy bed, he could be okay sleeping alone, too. Ziggy hasn't had much exposure to children that we know of, as the foster is an adult-only home. If you would like to set up an appointment to meet with Ziggy, call the shelter at 906 632-2519 and we can put you in contact with his foster.

If you haven’t joined our site, Lost and Found Animals of Chippewa County, please do so here ⬇️

https://www.facebook.com/share/g/N4mSAJMWMdREbPSF/?mibextid=K35XfP

This is where we post lost animals that have been brought to our shelter. We have two recent strays who have not been claimed by owner. It’s important that we can receive any information on prior homes, as it helps us find the right placement for them. If you recognize either of these recent postings, your information can remain anonymous!

SWEET SENIOR ALERT 🔔

Is there anything better on this earth than a sweet senior dog? We don't think so, either. Max is an absolutely precious 10ish year-old dog that is perfect in every way. He has lived with cats, dogs, and children and would do well in almost any home environment. Although he is a senior, he has a lot of get-up-and-go. He loves to zoom around and playfully chase his human friends in the fenced yards at the shelter. Max has good manners, is housebroken, and really enjoys taking naps on his comfy dog bed. If you would like to meet best boy Max, call the shelter at 906 632 2519 to set up an appointment. Call for the quickest response as inquiries submitted through FB, Petfinder, and email are not always closely monitored. If you have another dog in the home, a meet and greet is required before bringing Max home.

Meet Tucker

Are you a big dog person? Don't mind puddles of drool on your floor? Tucker might be the perfect companion for you! Tucker is a Saint Bernard that is just under two years old. Once he gets comfortable with you, he is a BIG lover boy. He is pretty hilarious when he plays because his body doesn't always go where his legs want to take him- you might say he's a bit clumsy. Tucker's previous home describes him as a "lover, loves walks, loves to run, loves car rides, prefers the outdoors." Tucker does have a preference for women over men, but if you have tasty treats, you will be well on your way to becoming friends. Please, no hard biscuits for this guy- only the softest and meatiest treats will do. Tucker has done okay around puppies and female dogs but can be scared and uncomfortable around some dogs. He is described as being good with cats, although did not live with any. Tucker would be best placed in a home with older children (ten and up) as young children scare him. If you think you'd be a good match for the XL lover boy, Tucker, call the shelter at 906 632 2519. Please call for responses to inquiries as the inquires submitted through FB, Petfinder, and email are not always closely monitored.

Meet Bluey- Camera shy but so sweet!

Bluey is a sweet puppy that is appx 7-months old. He came in with his sibling, Ladybird and she is on a trial adoption. Now it's Bluey's turn to get his forever placement! He has a unique characteristic in that he will "smile" and show you his front teeth when he meets you. This is called a "submissive grin" and it is a dog's way of telling you that "I'm not a threat, please don't hurt me!" Bluey and his sister did not have a lot of exposure to the world so he will need a patient home to work with him on all the basics of being a dog. He really likes other dogs and would benefit from living in a home with at least one other well-adjusted canine sibling. He could also go to a home that has cats, with proper introduction. If you would like to set up an appointment to meet sweet Bluey, call the shelter at 906 632 2519. Please call for the quickest response as inquiries submitted through FB and Petfinder are not always closely monitored. If you have another dog in the home, a meet and greet is required before bringing Bluey home.
