Meet Tanker: The One-Dog Welcome Committee! Age: 1 year Breed: Pittie Mix Neutered: Yup! Ready for his forever home! If you’ve ever wished your dog would greet you at the door like you’re the most important human on planet Earth… meet Tanker. This boy loves people so much he may actually file a petition to become your shadow. Walking to the bathroom alone? Not on Tanker’s watch. Tanker is a toy enthusiast, specializing in squeakers, stuffies, and anything that bounces. He approaches playtime with the energy of a toddler who just learned what sugar is. He’s also friendly with other dogs, making him the perfect buddy for playdates or a built-in companion for your current pup. He believes in sharing toys… unless it’s the really good one, and then he may politely recommend joint custody. Tanker is fun, sweet, and ready to fill your life with laughter, love, and a little chaos in the best way possible. Come meet him—Tanker is ready to roll into your heart! If interested, please call the shelter at 231-861-5395 and leave a message to be placed on this dog's adoption list. No obligation, but it reserves your place in line on the list. The shelter will contact individuals as they appear on the list. The adoption fee is $95 and you receive certificates for $50 towards spay/neuter and $10 towards rabies vaccine if not already done. All dogs are heartworm tested, receive a DHLPP, flea and tick treatment, and are dewormed.

Meet Rocket — The Floofy Zoom Machine! Age: 9 months Breed: Husky (a.k.a. Professional Chaos Athlete) If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to live with a caffeinated cloud, Rocket is here to demonstrate. He’s 9 months old, 100% husky, and approximately 10,000% energy. This boy isn’t just active—he’s the lead runner of the “Zoomies Across America” Tour. What Makes Rocket… Rocket: Playful: Every toy, leaf, stick, and dust bunny is his new best friend. Smart: Too smart. Like “opens doors, solves puzzles, and may outwit you” smart. Energetic: This boy has never known rest. He lives his life on turbo mode. Social: Loves people, dogs, and anyone willing to appreciate his dramatic storytelling. Double-Coated: He comes with his own year-round snowstorm. It’s fine. You’ll adjust. Athletic: Rocket doesn’t walk—he launches. Cardio is now a lifestyle. Ideal Home: Rocket would definitely benefit from a household with Husky or northern-breed experience. You know… people who understand the language of dramatic sighs, sudden howls, escape artistry, and the daily battle between “I love you” and “Why are you like this?” He’s looking for a family that: Enjoys adventure Appreciates a good challenge Has a solid vacuum Can laugh at chaos Is ready to love a goofy, energetic, snowball of joy If you’re ready to upgrade your life to Expert Level Husky Mode, Rocket is ready to blast off into your heart and maybe your yard.

Pint-Sized Perfection: Meet Cocoa!

Allow us to introduce Cocoa, the pint-sized hunk who can fit in your lap, your heart, and probably your carry-on luggage (though he insists he’s “not baggage, he’s cargo with personality”). Cocoa is: -Extremely friendly — He greets everyone like they’re long-lost friends returning from a hero’s journey. -Great with other dogs — Big dogs, little dogs, wiggly dogs, awkward dogs… he’s cool with all of them. -Kid-approved — If your kids love cuddles, laughter, and a dog who won’t bulldoze them over, Cocoa is your guy. -All-around perfect — Honestly, it’s suspicious. He might be a Disney character in disguise. He’s sweet. He’s adorable. He’s easygoing. He’s the canine equivalent of “fun-size” candy — all the goodness, just in a more convenient package. Come meet Cocoa and let him show you why good things really do come in small, wiggly, four-legged packages!
