Wilbur
Gender: Male
Age: 7-8 Years
Spayed/Neutered: Yes
Breed: Terrier (Possibly Jack Russell) 
Weight: 17 lbs
Located in: Caledonia
Kind of home this pet currently resides in: Quiet Home
Additional Information: He is high energy and has some separation anxiety likely from being abandoned in the past. But he is very sweet and very smart. He would do well with an older person or someone who doesn’t work outside the home often. He loves to run and chase his ball, so it would be good if he had a fenced yard or could be taken to the dog park to run. During the day when we are home he sleeps a lot. He loves to cuddle and even sleeps in our bed. We hate to find him a new home, but it would really be better for him if we could. I really want him to find a forever home so he doesn’t have to go through the adjustment of a new family ever again. He is often exposed to other animals, but he isn’t great with them. He prefers to be the only pet. He loves men and adults

He was intact when we found him but have gotten him fixed. We haven't noticed any spraying. He loves to climb! He is fine with dogs. It seems that he likes other cats but our cats do not like him.

Koda
Gender: Male
Age: 6 Years
Spayed/Neutered: Yes
Breed: Fox Hound Mix
Weight: 42 lbs
Located in: Grand Rapids
Kind of home this pet currently resides in: Quiet suburban single family home with lots of dog contact
Additional Information: Koda likes adults.  He is mellow and mild mannered most times.  He is friendly and pretty well behaved with new adults.  Kids get Koda really excited (barking, pulling).  He hasn't been allowed the opportunity to meet any kids yet. He is reactive towards other dogs and can bark or lunge at them.
He has a chronic medical problem with his eyes called dry eye or KCS.  He needs prescription cyclosporine eyedrops twice a day.  He is really good about taking them.  When he came to use his eyes were irritated and cloudy, and now while still a little cloudy that having improved a lot.
We adopted Koda from Jackson County Animal Shelter 4 months ago.  We did not get much backstory except he had been with his previous owners for two weeks.  We hear they had a household with another dog and cat.  They acquired him from Facebook. 
Koda has done three months of professional training for his reactivity and has been making improvements.  We have been working with him intensively and have seen him improve greatly in his obedience under distraction.  He is a good learner.  Koda is an independent thinker, but he loves to work for food.
Overall, he is a sweetheart who loves to cuddle and will follow you around the house.  He is really quiet and mellow most times of day, but does bark when triggered by outside noises (other dogs barking, motorcycles).  We have been making progress in how quick we can get him to stop.

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.
