My personality

My story

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

Shimmer
Shimmer is a Female Smooth coat Terrier mix
DOB: March 6th, 2024
Adoption fee: $150.00

I am a bit timid with new people, places and things. I am used to being in a group. I may do my best with another dog in the home to show me the ropes and help build my confidence. I am doing better as I grow, and I am so very sweet.

I will require a physically fenced yard. Pending previous experience and observation I may be okay with children 8 years and older. I am energetic, but small children running around may make me very nervous and scared. I should adjust to a dog friendly cat.

I know with the right family; I will go from a shimmer to a SHINING STAR in no time. If you are interested in being my adopter, please visit my shelter's website and complete the adoption application that is available there! HSSCM.org you can find the applications under the "adoptions" tab.

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.

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!
