Story
Meet Lightning Bug! This precious brindle baby is searching for a family willing to work on building her confidence and social skills. Bug was surrendered to us at the end of August. She`s gotten used to the shelter environment and routine, however can still be a bit nervous in new situations. Despite being shut down and unsure when she arrived, she was tolerant of all handling and cares done by our intake staff. She has not been introduced to cats yet - she briefly met the office cat with no negative reaction. She is pretty indifferent around other dogs - she`s polite towards them, but hasn`t shown a huge interest in play. We think she would do well in a home with another dog that matches her soft energy. If you think Bug may be a good fit for you, please give the shelter a call at 218-675-7297.

Story
Meet Beth! Beth is a 6-month-old mixed breed that arrived with two of her siblings! She’s already made herself right at home as you can see in her photos! This girl has the sweetest puppy dog eyes. She loves her toys & getting scratches from her humans! Beth is young enough to acclimate to a home with cats and kids. If you’re interested in meeting Beth, please give the shelter a call at 218-675-7297. She’s a puppy, so will need a home willing to guide her on how to become a well-mannered adult dog. She’s a social puppy that just wants to please her people!

Story
Introducing Anubis! This big guy came to us due to being abandoned by his owners, unfortunately. Weighing about 75lbs (and still on the thin side) this guy will need a strong handler willing to practice proper leash walking and socialization. Anubis has been friendly with staff and tolerated all cares since he arrived. We were told that he doesn`t like to hear yelling in the home and that rough-housing makes him uneasy and he will bark until it stops. He has been a total gentleman since coming to the shelter! He is just over a year old, neutered, microchipped, heart worm tested, and vaccinated. Anubis is a Boxer/Cane Corso mix so will need an experienced dog owner that is familiar with the breeds! He does well with calmer energy dogs, cats, and kids! If you need 80lbs of love in your life, please give the shelter a call at 218-675-7297!

Story
Introducing Channing! Channing came to us from a local PD that had taken him in as a stray. Unfortunately there we no owners found, so we don`t know much of this pup`s history. He has a fairly quiet disposition. He has a hard time trusting new people - until he hear his `password`, `Good Boy!`, then it`s all kisses and tail wags! He really enjoys playing with other dogs and zooming around the play yards. He`s probably do well with another dog in the home to wear out his energy and show him the ropes! He likes to play ball and promptly lays down when you tell him to `sit`. He doesn`t appreciate the shelter life and has a hard time being in his kennel without anyone to keep him company. He can`t wait to find a family to love, entertain, and be loyal to. Channing is neutered, microchipped, heart worm tested, and vaccinated. Grand Rapids PD fell in love with him too, could you provide this goofy boy with a forever home? Call 218-675-7297!

She will be spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated to age prior to adoption. Call 218-675-7297 to set up a meet and greet!
