**ADOPTION FEES ARE WAIVED UNTIL TUES. DEC. 17TH**

Via MM's foster parent: "Maggie May is an 3 year old retriever/ potentially ridgeback mix. She is an incredibly fun, loving, adventurous, precious, dog. She absolutely adores every human, to her, there is no such thing as strangers! She does well with dogs, she plays amazingly with my four-year-old German shepherd mix and was incredibly gentle with my 12-year-old beagle. She is nicknamed “kangaroo, or roo” as she has a very special quirk of walking on her two hind legs and jumping like a kangaroo when excited.

She would be best suited for a very active individual and or family; while I have not seen her around kids, I believe she would do well in a family with children over six years old. Maggie May is a very high energy dog and therefore needs someone who will provide her with the mental and physical stimulation she needs and deserves. She truly would be a great companion and I will miss her Dearly!"

Make sure you have a current foster application submitted to our website (metroanimalshelter.org) and call/email to schedule an appointment to meet sweet Maggie May. Thanks so much!

🍔Meet Chunky!🍔

Chunky is a 4.5-year-old domestic shorthair. He is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. He would be the perfect addition to any home! His foster parent loves him so much and here's what she has to say about him:

"Hi there, folks, my name’s Chunky! I’m a little golden chunk of love who just wants to get along with everyone (humans, cats AND dogs). Once I get cozy in a new place, I enjoy cuddling, kneading all things soft, and flinging myself dramatically to the ground to show off my belly. And don’t let my extra fluff fool you. While I love napping as much as the next cat, I also love to chase around my toys and rush to greet my friends! And I’d be delighted to snuggle up with you this winter.
