“The holidays are packed away..now I’m wondering if there’s room in your home or heart for me?”

Princess ❤️🐾

While currently thriving in foster care, Princess is still searching for her forever home. She is FeLV positive and has some birth defects in her hind legs, but don’t let that deter you, she is calm, loving and incredibly sweet! Because of her diagnosis, Princess needs to be in a home with other FeLV positive companions or as an only cat. Her calm demeanor makes her perfect for seniors or those looking for a gentle, low maintenance companion 🏡❤️

Apply on our website to adopt Princess today! The perfect addition to your family in 2026!

Meet Blue 💙
BestPals Animal Rescue recently welcomed Blue, a 13-year-old pit mix, after his family sadly lost their home and could no longer keep him. Blue has been fully vetted and brought up to date on all vaccinations. He was also diagnosed with Lyme disease, which he is currently being treated for.
Blue is a sweet, friendly senior who enjoys leisurely walks (he does walk nicely on leash, though he may pull a bit when something really catches his interest!). He loves to nap, spend time with his people, and explore the outdoors at his own pace.
In his previous home, Blue lived with another dog and was fed separately due to possible resource guarding. Because of this, Blue would do best as the only pet in the home. A fenced-in yard would be ideal for him to safely enjoy his outdoor time.
Community Support Making a Difference!
Two incredible community sponsors have teamed up to make adopting Blue easier than ever:
• Robert Crough of @ Paradigm Dog School is generously covering the cost of a professional evaluation for Blue, as well as training classes if needed.
• Dr. Stelios of Holland Doctors Audiology is covering Blue’s adoption fee and his veterinary care.
This truly means the world to us—and to Blue.

A SPECIAL REQUEST

In memory of Evan Rogers, a young man who passed away much too soon. We are sending a message of love to his family as we celebrate his heavenly birthday! Because of Evan’s love for animals, we know we have a guardian angel to watch over our pets at BestPals.

Take a moment to give your two-legged and four-legged family a litte extra love today in memory of Evan.

Princess decided the best gift this season is herself..perfectly packaged in a little box and waiting patiently for her forever family 📦❤️

Princess is FeLV positive, which just means she’ll thrive as an only cat or with other FeLV+ friends. Endless sweetness, gentle cuddles and a calm presence that will make your house feel like home 🏡🐾

This holiday season, Princess’ wish is for a foster or forever family to wrap her in love and a safe place to land.

If you’ve been thinking about opening your heart and home this Christmas, Princess might just be the gift you didn’t know you needed 🎁

Let’s help Princess find her people and make her Christmas wish come true ✨

Blue is still looking for a foster or a family to call his own. Good with kids, cats, but needs supervision when with other dogs during feeding and around toys. https://www.petfinder.com/dog/blue-79326328/mi/holland/bestpals-animal-rescue-center-mi912/
