Story
***The first step in the adoption process is to complete the application at www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org*** Pupacinna!  Look at this adorable little girl.  Pupacinna came in with 4 others from a hoarding house and quickly showed how sweet and grateful she was however she was a little timid so we sent her to a foster home where she really blossomed but is still reserved.  She loves to snuggle under the covers and would do best in a home with pet friends.  She is living with other dogs, cats and just having a great time. She's an easy keeper and a very sweet girl.  At about 10 pounds and just over 3 years old she's a nice size for an apartment or for some one that wants a buddy to go on car rides for pupcups!  Pupacinna is spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $300.00 December 10, 2025, 3:46 pm

Story
Meet Cherise! This tiny senior sweetheart may have a few age-related quirks—terrible teeth, limited eyesight, some hearing loss, and a little wobble to her walk—but none of that slows down her ability to love with her whole heart. Cherise absolutely adores being held and snuggling close. At just 9 pounds, she’s the perfect lap companion and will patiently follow you around, always hoping it’s time to curl up together. She’s 10+ years old and a chihuahua mix with the gentlest soul. Cherise is looking for a soft place to land, a warm lap, and someone who appreciates the quiet, unconditional love only a senior dog can give. She deserves a forever home where she’ll be cherished for the rest of her days. 💛
