My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

A big ol' sweetie that - like the littles you saw on here last week - came here from a pretty rough environment last month. This is Dakota.

He's none the worse for wear from his journey, as far as his behavior goes; just a gentle giant. That said, he likes his space - LOTS of space, like, say, a farm. Strong, independent boy.

He's had a nice brushing since her first picture in the lower right (but is getting ready for another!), and is looking quite dapper. Come tell him so.

Come meet me today at Jackson County Animal Shelter in Jackson, Michigan, USA! **All dog adoptions require an application**. Availability date shown is when the cat or dog becomes JCAS property; any necessary medical procedures may slightly postpone an adoption. **For dogs, a meet & greet with your dog is mandatory**. A cat room walk-through is available to test reaction.

PLEASE NOTE: NOT ALL ANIMALS ARE ON THE WEBSITE. IF YOU ARE MISSING YOUR PET, PLEASE COME THE SHELTER TO SEE IF YOUR PET IS HERE.

Adoption costs:
Cat/kitten: $90, second cat/kitten for $1. There may be an additional $50 refundable spay/neuter fee for kittens too young to be spayed/neutered at time of adoption.
Dog: $150 plus dog license fee.

Adoption fees include vaccinations, spay/neuter, heartworm check (for dogs), feline leukemia check (for cats), rabies vaccination, and deworming. Pets have also been treated for fleas and ticks. Some pets may have had other veterinary treatment as needed.
