🚨 WE HAVE A SITUATION. 🚨

Capillary was told that her forever family was out there somewhere.

Naturally, she assumed they were in the toy bin. 😂

She's checked under the tennis balls, behind the squeaky toys, and all the way to the bottom.

No family. Just toys. 😭

At this point, she'd like to speak to whoever is in charge of this whole adoption situation because CLEARLY something isn't adding up.

If someone could please come adopt this girl before she starts searching the supply closets, we'd really appreciate it. 🐾❤️

Celebrating all the animals who found their way home this week! Whether it was back to their families or into loving new ones! 🏡❤️

🐾💕 : THREE TIMES THE CUTENESS! 💕

What's better than one adorable adoptable cat? TWO adorable adoptable cats! Or maybe even THREE?! 👀🐱

This week, we're helping our friends at Against All Odds Cat Rescue spread the word about three very special sisters: Sami, Stella, and Susie! ❤️

These girls are hoping to find their happily ever after, and while a home together would be a dream come true, they're not opposed to going their separate ways if it means finding families of their own!

So whether you've got room in your heart (and on your couch) for one, two, or the whole sister squad, these girls would love to be considered! 🥹

🐾 WE NEED FOSTER HOMES! 🐾

Our shelter is filling up, and we could really use our community's help. ❤️

Over the past several days, Ingham County Animal Control & Shelter has taken in a large number of animals as a result of multiple animal neglect investigations. With so many animals coming through our doors, we're quickly approaching capacity.

That's where YOU come in!

We're looking for foster families willing to temporarily open their homes to some of our adoptable dogs. 🐶

Fostering gives an animal a much-needed break from the shelter environment while also freeing up valuable kennel space for animals who need us.

You don't have to commit to adopting. You don't have to be a fostering expert. You just need a little extra room in your home and a willingness to help an animal in need.

Every foster home makes a difference, and right now, that difference is especially important.

Interested in fostering? Please stop by our shelter any time during our normal business hours. You can also find more info here: https://ac.ingham.org/how_do_i/fostering.php

Our community has stepped up for our animals time and time again, and we're hoping you'll help us make room for the ones who need us next. 🐾❤️

🐾❤️ FEEL GOOD FRIDAY ❤️🐾

You might remember this pretty girl as Chimeara, but these days she's going by Bogo, and apparently she's been very busy building a life of luxury.

Her family recently sent us an update, and honestly, we think Bogo might be doing better than all of us. 😂

🐾 Daily walks and outdoor adventures? Check.

💦 Splashing around in the water whenever the weather allows? Absolutely.

🐱 Feline siblings who are warming up to her, including one who likes to start a good game of chase? Yep!

🚗 Car rides and following her favorite human everywhere? Obviously.

🛏️ Sleeping in bed every single night? As she should.

🧶 And a mom who loves crocheting so much that she made Bogo her very own sweater? WE CANNOT. 😭❤️

From shelter dog to beloved family member, adventure buddy, bedtime companion, and proud owner of a custom-made wardrobe piece, we'd say Bogo has settled into her new life quite nicely!

A huge thank you to Bogo's family for sharing this adorable update and giving this sweet girl such a wonderful home. These are the happy endings we live for! ❤️

Happy Feel Good Friday! 🐾

This Veterans Day, we're celebrating the brave men and women who have served our country by helping some four-legged friends find their forever homes! ❤️🤍💙

From Friday, November 6 through Tuesday, November 10, we're offering a special on ALL dog and cat adoptions!

ACTIVE MILITARY & VETERANS: FREE ADOPTIONS!
As a small thank-you for your service, we're waiving adoption fees for all active-duty military members and veterans!

FOR EVERYONE ELSE:
❤️ Dogs: $25
💙 Cats: $10

Whether you've served our country or simply have room in your heart and home for a new best friend, this is a wonderful opportunity to make a difference in a shelter animal's life!

Because sometimes, the best way to say thank you is with a new best friend. 🐾❤️

Please note: Adoption specials do not include the required $18 dog licensing fee for Ingham County residents.

If you like your dogs a little snorty, a little snuffly, and a WHOLE lot of ridiculous, allow us to introduce you to Pons! 😂❤️

Pons is a 7-month-old Bulldog mix who weighs just 33 pounds (we promise, he's smaller than he looks in pictures!) and approaches absolutely EVERYTHING in life at 130%.

Playing? 130%.
Being a goofball? 130%.
Annoying his foster siblings? You guessed it. 130%. 😂

This little guy has been living in a foster home with kids, cats, and other dogs, and while he LOVES everyone, his foster siblings would probably describe him as a bit of a pest. He's a rough-and-tumble puppy who would do best with older kids and furry friends who can tolerate his enthusiasm!

Pons does have a few medical considerations, including a skin condition that's being treated and a mild airway condition common in flat-faced breeds. His future family will need to help him take it easy, especially in hot weather. Of course, Pons himself is convinced he's perfectly capable of doing ALL THE THINGS. 🙃

A huge thank you to Empire Motors Of Lansing for sponsoring Pons' adoption fee and to Span from Q106 WJXQ for helping this snorty little superstar find his forever family! ❤️

See that big smile on Humu's face? That's pretty much how we're all feeling right now.

Recently, our friends at Pet Supplies Plus - Lansing, MI partnered with us to give their customers the opportunity to round up their purchases to support the animals at our shelter.

A few cents here. A little extra change there. One small act of kindness at a time.

Well, we just picked up our very first round of donations, and after just ONE MONTH, this incredible community raised...

ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS. 🤯❤️

It's easy to think that rounding up a purchase by a few cents won't make much of a difference. But this is proof that when a community comes together, those little acts of generosity add up to something truly extraordinary.

To the amazing team at Pet Supplies Plus, THANK YOU for choosing to support our shelter and for giving your customers such an easy way to make a difference.

And to every single person who said "yes" when asked if they'd like to round up their purchase, please know that your kindness matters. Whether you gave a few cents or a few dollars, you were part of something wonderful.

From all of us, and especially the animals whose lives you help make better, thank you. Truly. 🐾❤️
