Iris
Gender: Female
Age: 2 Years Spayed/Neutered: Yes Declawed: No Located in: Belding Kind of home this pet currently resides in: Quiet house. Additional Information: .From Iris' owner: "Dogs unknown. When she was adopted a year ago, she was good with cats. We briefly fostered another cat, and she appeared to want to socialize with him, but he did not want that, so we didn't keep them together. I'm not sure how she is with kids, but is fairly comfortable with adults (takes a minute to warm up, really not long). Iris is the sweetest cat and it breaks my heart to let her go. She is very playful, VERY talkative, and really just wants to sit in your lap all of the time. She wants as much attention as she can get, and unfortunately I can't give that much right now. I want to know that she goes to a wonderful home, and I would absolutely love to have at least occasional updates on how she's doing." Click HERE to call her owner Cayla.

I kind of ended up with her when her owner passed away and it's just not working. She's a sweet 7 year old chihuahua daschund mix who needs a lot of attention. Preferably a home where she is an only child. She tolerates my kids but isn't a fan of our family dog. She attaches to women and would be a great companion for a single person as she is very protective (she doesn't allow my husband near me if I'm laying down for naps :) ). I'm not in a hurry to rehome her and will be taking my time to make sure we make the best decision for Holly. Let me know if you're interested in meeting her. Holly does ok with kids as long and they know how to treat her. She is scared of most men and definitely prefers women." Click HERE to call Holly's owner Kate.

Additional Information: From Fern's owner "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."

Gender: Female
Age: 7 Years Spayed/Neutered: Yes Declawed: No Located in: Grand Rapids Kind of home this pet currently resides in: Ripley really needs a quiet home or an apartment to live in. She is not an outdoor cat and I don't believe would do well as one. Additional Information: From Ripley's owner "She will tolerate dogs, cats and even ferrets but she doesn't like them. By tolerate I mean she will hiss at them if they get in her face and she will find her own sanctuary. She is not a fan of anyone grabbing her and picking her up. I don't think she will do well with children. I think she would do well with any gender. Single or a couple but without kids. She is very much a mommas girl and will probably have a hard time adjusting. Please be patient with her, she is worth it. She is a super lovey and cuddly girl. She won't seem like it at first because it takes time for her to build trust. She loves to watch squirrel and bird videos on YouTube. Likes soft foods and her Lazer pointer. If you give her a perch of some sort and a scratching pad she will be soo happy." Click HERE to call Ripley's owner Adrienna. Click HERE to email Sophie's owner Adrienna.

Larger dogs he backs off but smaller animals he sees as “toys” and will go after them. He either needs to be the only pet or needs to be around larger dogs. He’s still young enough to learn but he has struggled with our other pets, even after training." Click HERE to call Kirby's owner Robert. Click HERE to email Kirby's owner Robert.

Mya
Gender: Female
Age: 10 Years Spayed/Neutered: Yes Breed: Bichon/Pomeranian Weight: 22lbs Located in: Allendale Kind of home this pet currently resides in: Currently Mya lives in a busy house with a 2 and 5 year old along with another dog. She has a big house in a fenced in back yard. We also camp all summer so our trailer has been her home away from home. Additional Information: She has lived her whole life with another dog. Which is a female Bichon. The other dog has always been the alpha. Over the years since we had kids (5 years) they have started growling and fighting with each other more. Last week the fight was bad enough that they bit each other to draw blood. However, these fights are sporadic and usually over space or food. I think they would be okay together in the right environment without other stressors. We are open to Zoe being rehomed also. She is does not do well around children. Would be best suited in a home without kids or really the potential of kids visiting (I.e grandkids).Mya is a sweet girl that deserves to live out the rest of her years in a house that doesn’t cause her so much stress and anxiety. She loves walks, car rides, laying around and belly rubs. She would be a great with a single adult or couple that doesn’t have children or very little exposure to kids.
