Furry Friends Friday with Jason from Paws of Hope – December 24

jason-pawsofhope-2021

Jason is a five year old male Fox Terrier Mix.  He ended up in a kill-shelter after being found as an unclaimed stray.  Jason is searching for a quiet home with someone who is around to spend plenty of time with him.  He bonds quickly with people and follows closely behind the members of his foster home.  It is clear that Jason has had a rough life.  He is looking for a patient person who will allow time for trust to grow.  We recommend a home with adults only and no other pets.  We don’t know what Jason went through prior to being found, but he is a loving boy and deserves the best.  Please contact Paws of Hope at information@pawsofhope.org or send a private message to our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/PawsOfHopeSwMich) to learn more about our sweet and adorable Jason....

Furry Friends Friday with Luna from Paws of Hope – October 15

Luna is a female mixed breed dog, estimated to be one year old.  We believe that Luna could be a Labrador Retriever-Pit Bull Terrier mix.  She was found hiding in the bushes along the River Valley bike trail.  Luna was quite frightened and malnourished, but her loving and trusting personality allowed her to be easily rescued.  Luna is well-mannered, playful, and loves to meet new people.  She is athletic and loves to chase toys outside.  Luna is also intelligent, and her natural listening skills make it easy for her to learn.  She gets along well with the cats in her foster home, and has developed a special friendship with one of the cats.  Luna is up-to-date on vaccines, tested negative for heartworm and Lyme disease, and has been spayed and micro-chipped.  Please contact Paws of Hope at 269-340-0272 or information@pawsofhope.org if you would like to learn more about our lively and lovely girl, Luna....

Meet adorable, adoptable Clucky! This 2-4 year old Shepard mix is already spayed, up to date with all her vaccines, and ready to snuggle.  Clucky is by far the most photogenic pup here at BCAC and has a natural zest for life.  This sweet girl would love to find someone who would take her out on adventures during the day and cuddle all night.  Clucky came to us as a stray so, unfortunately, we don’t know much about her past.  We do know that she would do best in a home as the only animal and she would do best with older kids only. Sadly, Clucky has Heartworm Disease.  This has not dulled her sparkle at all!  Thanks to Friends of Berrien County Animal Control and one of our wonderful veterinarians, we have started treatment for Clucky!  If you are interested in adopting Clucky, please stop in to meet her Mondays-Fridays 8:30-4:30 and Saturdays 8:30-Noon.  Or, give Berrien County Animal Control a call at 269-927-5648!...
