🌸 A HUGE shoutout to our amazing neighbors across the street — the generous greenhouse, Kimber’s Farm— for donating these gorgeous flower arrangements to brighten up our space! 🌼💜

Not only do they have a green thumb, but clearly also huge hearts. Our front porch has never looked this good, and even our four-legged friends seem to be enjoying the extra color! 🐾🌺

If you’re ever looking for stunning blooms and kind people, you know exactly where to go. Thank you for helping us make the shelter feel even more like home. 🌿💐

Meet Macy

Macy and her ears are up for adoption! Macy is a 6-ish month-old super mutt that is looking for an active family to spend her days with. She has lived with another dog and a cat before and would do well with a second dog in the home to show her the ropes and keep her company/wrassle with her. Macy is working on housetraining and does best when someone goes outside with her to make sure she "does her business" before coming back inside. She is food motivated and is very engaged during training sessions. If you're active and up for training an energetic pup, call the shelter at 906 632 2519 to set up an appointment to meet Macy. Please call for the quickest response to inquiries as those submitted through FB, Petfinder, and email are not always closely monitored. If you have another dog in the home, a meet and greet is required before bringing Macy home.

Meet Kai

Kai is a 2-year-old husky mix that has a face as sweet as his personality. He is young, active, and ready to be your best friend. Kai is reported to be housebroken and is kennel trained when he is left alone in the home. According to his previous owner, Kai has not had good interactions with other intact males in the past and may do best as the only dog in the home. He should live in a kitty-free environment, too. If you're interested in meeting Kai, call the shelter at 906 632 2519. Please call for the quickest response to inquiries as those submitted through FB, Petfinder, and email are not closely monitored. If you have another dog in the home, a meet and greet is required before bringing Kai home.

Meet Alex - The Adventurous Blue Heeler

Alex isn't just any dog- he's a survivor with a spirit as bold as his breed. This clever and courageous Blue Heeler made a great escape from the shelter and was on the run for nearly two months, even braving a journey across the ice to Sugar Island. His story is one of resilience, independence, and unbreakable will.
Now safely back and ready for his next chapter, Alex is looking for a home where he can be someone's loyal shadow. Once he bonds with his person, he's all in - devoted, protective, and always close by. He's reported to do well with other dogs, but cats are a no-go in his book. Alex has not lived with small children and is approved for ages 10 and up.
Alex is smart, affectionate and full of energy. He loves to play fetch and thrives on mental and physical stimulation. A home with previous experience with heelers (or similar herding breeds) is preferred, as Alex will do best with someone who understands his working-dog drive and need for engagement.
If you're looking for a fun-loving, faithful companion with a bit of a legend behind him, Alex just might be your perfect match. Please call if you would like to make an appointment to meet Alex, as messages sent through FB and Petfinder are not always able to be closely monitored 906-632-2519

Meet Tiffany—a spirited, sassy little gal with a big personality! She may not be a lap cat, but she’s endlessly entertaining and full of quirks. Tiffany is looking for an experienced cat lover who understands feline body language—because when Tiffany’s had enough, she’ll tell you with a gentle nibble (okay, sometimes not so gentle). Her signs are obvious when she’s overstimulated and is easily handled (and petted!) by staff.

Tiffany may not be ideal for families with small children, but perfect for:
• Experienced cat owners
• People who love quirky, independent cats
• Households without other pets (or ones that match her energy)

Tiffany is available for foster or adoption! No appointment is needed to visit our feline friends and our hours are found right on our home page. If you live in Chippewa County, you may qualify to take Tiffany on an extended home trial just call 906-632-2519 for more information as messages on Petfinder and Facebook are not always able to be closely monitored

🐾 Paws-itively Amazing! 🐾

Girl Scout Troop 5184 used their cookie proceeds to fetch some much-needed donations for our local animal shelter — and we’re not kitten around! 🐱🐶

From puppy chow to kitty kibble, paper towels to purr-sil detergent (see what we did there? 😉), these scouts went above and beyond to support their furry friends. Their generosity is pawsome, and we’re so proud of the compassion and leadership they’re showing in our community.

Thank you, Troop 5184, for proving that kindness isn’t just a treat — it’s a way of life. 💚🐾

Meet Morgan

Morgan is a large (75 ish pounds) pittie girl that is around 4-years-old. Her head is as sizeable as her heart! Morgan is a big love bug once she gets used to you- if you don't like a cuddly dog, she's not the one for you. She is described by her previous family as "loving, cuddly, listens, housetrained." Morgan absolutely loves playing with toys; she is working on the "bring it back to me" part of fetch, but she will happily run after toys all day long. She lived with two small dogs and one large dog in her previous home but had an argument over food with one of the small dogs, so may do best as the one and only in the household. We do not have a history of Morgan with cats. If you are interested in setting up a meeting with Morgan, call the shelter at 906 632 2519.

Meet Frank- Currently Enrolled in Prison Program

Frank is currently enrolled in our Making Pawsitive Changes Prison Program at the Kinross Correctional Facility. He will receive 6 weeks of basic manners training and will be ready to adopt at the end of May. If you are interested in being considered to adopt Frank when he is done with his training, copy and paste the following link in your browser to complete the application.
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc32qiY0ZwfwWWCvwbez84qwp0nfDsRregpEXfheKQzJ54MPA/viewform

Frank is a handsome, smart, 1-year-old lab mix looking for an active home to keep his teenage brain busy! His previous guardian describes him as a "great snuggler, loves car rides, loves playing with chew toys". Frank has lived with cats and did well, but he is choosy about his dog friends. He is housebroken and should be crated when left alone, as he will keep himself busy by chewing things if he's not. Frank can be sheepish when first meeting new people that come to the home- a busy house might not be the best fit for him. Frank has a ton of love to give the right family! If you would like to set up an appointment to meet him, call the shelter at 906 632 2519 to set up an appointment. Please call for the quickest response to inquiries as those submitted through FB, Petfinder, and email are not always closely monitored.

Meet Sarah

Sarah is a lovely, personable hound mix that never got the memo that hounds bark- she's quiet as a mouse! She is just under 3 years old, is housebroken, and is said to be good with both cats and dogs. What more could you ask for in a dog? If you are interested in meeting Sarah, call the shelter at 906 632 2519 to set up an appointment to meet her. Please call for the quickest response for inquiries as those submitted through Petfinder, FB, and email are not always closely monitored. If you have another dog in the home, a meet and greet is required before bringing Sarah home.
