My story

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

***The first step in the adoption process is to complete the application at www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org***

Oh Honey Buns!  This girl is quickly stealing hearts at the shelter with her beautiful eyes, big smile and chunky wiggle butt!!!!  Honey was actually a puppy with us in the fall of 2021.  Her family had some major life changes several times and the latest move to a metro area just wasn't going to be the best fit for Honey so she is back with us looking for her new forever home!  Honey is a terrier mix of about 40 (chubby) pounds.  She is shy at first and will take a bit to warm up to new people but oh my when she does her exuberant affectionate nature comes pouring out.  This girl is a people dog and would be a wonderful companion for someone looking for an emotional support animal.  She will thrive on routine and since she does become protective of her people a home with out a lot of visitors or traffic would be best.  She does love kids that she knows but understanding that visitors (kids included) will need to be introduced so Honey knows they are ok to be in her home and around her family.  Honey had other dogs in her previous home and she loved playing with a high energy smaller male dog we had at the shelter so another buddy would be fun for her with the appropriate introduction.  We have yet to test her with cats but we certainly can!  She is very good at keeping her kennel clean and adores her big dog bed.  She is gentle and does nicely on leash.  Honey is spayed, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped.  Her adoption fee is $275.00

Additional adoption info

All interested parties must fill out an adoption application and be approved prior to adoption. If a family has currently, or in the recent past had pets then a veterinary reference is required. If not then two personal references are required. Our adoption fees for dogs range from $150-$300. Our adoption fee for cats is free will donation. After an adoption has been approved an adoption contract must be signed.

More about this shelter

The ECAS is an all volunteer, no kill shelter. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome pets in need due to neglect, abandonment, abuse or from simply not being wanted! We started in 2010 due to a need in our community. We are currently a foster based organization and we are currently building our new shelter facility. We work hand in hand with other rescue and shelters in the area to help out when and where we are needed.
