My personality

My story

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

Margarita (Margo)
Margarita is a Female Husky/Shepherd mix
DOB: February of 2022
Adoption fee: $125.00
Not much information was supplied on my past when I arrived at the shelter, other than I had a litter or two of puppies in my past. I was very nervous at first, but the staff was very compassionate and patient with me. I am much more comfortable now. My personality can be somewhat aloof. I am an observer, and I may not be super adventurous until I can trust my handlers.
I do not mind getting silly and playful. My puppyhood may not have been a normal happy puppy’s life so as I get more comfortable you will see more and more of that puppy behavior come out. I will require a physically fenced yard. I would do best in a calmer home atmosphere. Older children 12+. I may match with another dog pending a meet and greet. I have not been tested with cats.
I have a big heart and I would love a home of my very own. I will be a very loyal companion/friend for the right situation

More about this shelter

About Us:
We are the area's nonprofit advocate, sanctuary and source for companion animals since 1887.

Our Mission:
-to protect animals from suffering and cruelty
-to provide safe and responsible care for unwanted or abused companion animals
-to enhance the lives of animals and people through education, adoption, and foster care.

We believe in second chances at the Humane Society of South Central Michigan. Our service area includes all of Calhoun County and parts of Kalamazoo, Barry and Branch counties. We keep animals as long as it takes to find a good home for adoption once the animal passes temperament testing and is checked for good health. The Watkins Road shelter cares for up to 100 animals a day, and adopts out more than 500 animals a year. Countless area residents use the Society’s animal care, adoption and education programs each year. The Humane Society is overseen by a board of directors. We do not receive any government or tax dollars, or national humane organization funding. Our services are made possible by people in our community who care about homeless cats and dogs - people like you!

The Humane Society of South Central Michigan values:
-The ethical and humane treatment of animals
-Its role as a shelter for animals that suffer from pain, fear, and neglect
-Community accountability for the welfare of its animals
-Responsible stewardship of our resources
-Community involvement to achieve our goals
-Education about responsible pet ownership
-The joy of sharing a life with animal companions
