Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Carmela is sweet, and she's scared. Carmela comes out of her pen in the company of the other dogs, and acts as though she's surrounded by aliens; crouching all the way to the door, just wanting to be anywhere else. No lashing out or insecure aggression, just wanting to be in a comfortable place.
Luckily, that comfortable place is by your side; or in your lap, or giving you kisses, or...yeah, you get the picture. She could really use a loving companion to lean on right now, and if that sounds like she's high-maintenance, she's really not; when I left her, I tossed her a rope toy, and she couldn't have been more content. She's ready to be happy; just look, you can see it in her eyes. She just needs someone with the patience to do things at her pace for awhile.
Come meet me today at Jackson County Animal Shelter in Jackson, Michigan, USA! *All dog adoptions require an application*. Availability date shown is when the cat or dog becomes JCAS property; any necessary medical procedures may slightly postpone an adoption. For dogs, a meet & greet with your dog is required, and is the only definitive way to know how our dog will behave for you.
PLEASE NOTE: NOT ALL ANIMALS ARE ON THE WEBSITE. IF YOU ARE MISSING YOUR PET, PLEASE COME THE SHELTER TO SEE IF YOUR PET IS HERE.
