My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Sid
Terrier/Cattle dog mix.
DOB: April of 2022.
Adoption fee: $100.00

I have come a long way since first entering the shelter. I enjoy going for walks with my volunteer friends. They love my quirky personality, and rave about what a good boy I am. I am not a big boy; about beagle size and I will not get any bigger.

I do well with other dogs, pending personalities, my favorites are the ladies, especially the larger ones, the bigger the better is my motto! I can be a bit stubborn when I’m not ready to come in, I will require a physically fenced in yard.

I need a little work on taking treats gently. I love to play with toys and after a nice long walk I enjoy a nice rub down. I do not show the cats much interest. I may be okay with a dog savvy cat, slow intro and use caution until we are better acclimated to one another. Children in my home should be 12 years and older.

I have been overlooked for quite a while and I have so much to offer a family, I just need someone to take a chance on me.

More about this shelter

About Us:
We are the area's nonprofit advocate, sanctuary and source for companion animals since 1887.

Our Mission:
-to protect animals from suffering and cruelty
-to provide safe and responsible care for unwanted or abused companion animals
-to enhance the lives of animals and people through education, adoption, and foster care.

We believe in second chances at the Humane Society of South Central Michigan. Our service area includes all of Calhoun County and parts of Kalamazoo, Barry and Branch counties. We keep animals as long as it takes to find a good home for adoption once the animal passes temperament testing and is checked for good health. The Watkins Road shelter cares for up to 100 animals a day, and adopts out more than 500 animals a year. Countless area residents use the Society’s animal care, adoption and education programs each year. The Humane Society is overseen by a board of directors. We do not receive any government or tax dollars, or national humane organization funding. Our services are made possible by people in our community who care about homeless cats and dogs - people like you!

The Humane Society of South Central Michigan values:
-The ethical and humane treatment of animals
-Its role as a shelter for animals that suffer from pain, fear, and neglect
-Community accountability for the welfare of its animals
-Responsible stewardship of our resources
-Community involvement to achieve our goals
