Fern
Gender: Female
Age: 7 Years Spayed/Neutered: Yes Breed: Husky, Pitbull Terrier, Sharpei Mix Weight: 60lbs Located in: Grand Rapids Kind of home this pet currently resides in: Quiet home with a fenced in yard. Additional Information: Fern loves to swim, play fetch with a stick, ball or any of her toys and she loves to run free so a fenced in yard is a huge plus. Her favorite game is whining to go outside and whining to come back inside so we keep the door open for her :) Her favorite treat is the plain milk bone dog biscuits. We have used these for training in the past. She catches on really fast and is super smart. Most of the time Fern is not interested in meeting new people, so we usually ask that people ignore her and we do not let strangers pet her. She takes time to warm up to new people, but once she likes you, she loves you and will remember you ALWAYS. Fern has quite a bit of anxiety and she will get pretty worked up if we have to bathe her or give her any type of medicine. She can sense you are talking about her and will hide before you realize she has caught on. Fern has food and toy aggression with other animals, but does not have that with humans.

Rocky
Gender: Male
Age: 5- 7 Years Spayed/Neutered: No Declawed: No Located in: Grandvile Kind of home this pet currently resides in: Rocky is kept on the lower level. Not a lot of action, although our dogs visit, and I am with him several hours a day. Other family members visit with him also. Additional Information: Rocky is a big boy with a big personality! He will follow you around, begging for attention and always ready to play! Be prepared when you sit down for 20#’s of love to plop down asking to be brushed or just for a cat nap! Rocky has never had an accident in the house. He has never scratched our furniture and needs a sturdy scratching pole. We believe Rocky was an indoor cat that just got out. We have kept him indoors and want him to be rehomed as indoor only. He can be with dogs but must be an only cat. Keeping him apart from our 3 other cats is not only difficult but is also unfair to this loving and social giant. If he could co-exist with our other cats, we would keep him ourselves.
