Story
***The first step in the adoption process is to go to www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org to complete the adoption application*** This sweet little girl is Raya. Raya started life on the Rez. She had a litter of puppies and a run in with a porcupine that left her needing help. Here is what she has to say.... Hi my name is Raya (Ray-uh)! The humans tell me I’m ready to find my furever home! I would love to find a home with a dog friend. I like to rough house and zoom around with toys. I do have a strong prey drive so I can’t live with cats or other small animals. I also love to snuggle the humans and take naps. I get to sleep in bed some nights and I love that but I also sleep in my kennel some nights and don’t mind! I need to find a home that understands dogs with separation anxiety or at least a home willing to learn how to work with that. I would love to have a dog friend that can kennel beside me so I know I can relax. I prefer my plastic kennel over the wire ones. Once I got settled in to my foster home for a few days I relaxed in my kennel and like to chew on my bones when I don’t feel like sleeping. If I could find a home where the humans are around a lot that might also make me more comfortable! If you have a job working from home I won’t complain. I’m kennel trained and house trained, though we were told in a previous home that I did break out of a wire kennel. We were also told that I’d get out of the house and run away. My fosters don’t have trouble with me getting out of the fence or the house but it’s something to know about me. I promise to bring entertainment and love to my furever home. I’m around 3 years old and around 45 lbs so I’m a great size for many people. I have not been kid tested but I can be if my home may have kids! Raya loves deeply and would love to find a home that loves her back just the same. She is guaranteed to add some laughter and love to the right home! Raya is about two and a half and adoption fee is $250.00 She is up to date on vaccinations, spayed and micro-chipped November 4, 2024, 8:52 pm

Story
*** The first step in the adoption process is to complete the adoption application at www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org*** Calling chihuahua lovers!  Meet Pedro!  This little man came from a chihuahua hoarding situation along with his foster friend Cat (the Dog).  Pedro is doin his best learning about other people and life with out so much chaos.  He is, in true chihuahua fashion, a bit over zealous when meeting new people.  He wants them to know he is actually 90 pounds of pure muscles instead of about 10.  We got your little guy no worries and thanks for letting us know there is a visitor at the door.  Pedro is pretty calm with the members of the household and gets along fine with the other dogs.  He may even do best with a doggie friend.  He is curious about the foster kitties but that's about it.   His favorite things to do are run around outside in the fenced yard and then snuggle under blankets.  If he gets overstimulated while playing he will nip a little when he's excited so older kids that will understand when to stop a play session would be best. But hey, if you are a lover of the Chihuahua none of this is new to you!   Pedro is approximately 7 years old, neutered, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped.  His adoption fee if $250.00November 14, 2024, 5:21 pm

Story
***The first step in the adoption process is to complete the application at www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org*** When this little senior lady came to us along with Pedro from a hoarding situation we were told her name Cat.  That's pretty cute and we call her Cat the dog. She is looking for a human companion. Someone who is home quite a bit and likes to snuggle. As you can see in her photos, Cat is blind.  She is very affectionate and pretty calm overall but she can get spooked by other animals.  She has done well in her foster home and while she seems to have beef with one of the male resident dogs being in her business she is fine with the female resident dog and with her friend Pedro. She likes to bark at cats occasionally but not all the time. Her blindness will need some patience but she learns her space and maps pretty well. At first, she follows behind you, then she will lead when she gets comfortable. She likes men and women. She would love to be a pampered princess. She jumps up on couches and can get on the bed with a doggie step. She is a snuggler at night and prefers under the blankets. She loves stuffies and enjoys a good chew stick but generally Cat is very quiet and gentle. Cat just recently had a dental and she is spayed, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $200.00 November 14, 2024, 5:21 pm

Story
***The first step in the adoption process is to complete the application on our website at www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org*** This special senior fella is Patches.  Patches came to us along with other dogs from a situation of neglect.  He along with his companions had not received the medical attention they needed and deserved.  When Patches arrived, he went straight to a groomer to help make him feel better.  A dental was scheduled for soon after and Patches was on his way to feeling like a pup!  He has since been in a loving foster home just soaking up the attention.  As you can see Patches is blind but he has done a great job navigating through the changes and getting to know his environment.  He has foster dogs and cats that he hangs out with and he does fine with them.  Young children might not be a good fit because he is a senior and the lack of vision but older kids that can understand and respect his limitations would be fine. Patches loves to snuggle and take big naps. Since Patches is blind and hard of hearing people with mobility or balance issues might not be a good fit since he doesn't know to get out of the way and you have to watch out for him as versus the other way around. Also he cannot navigate stairs well. A couple of steps out to the yard would likely be ok but he isn't going to be good with a flight of stairs so ranch style house or main floor living with a gate to protect him from venturing is best. Patches has had a recent dental, is neutered, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped.  His adoption fee is $200.00 November 14, 2024, 8:40 pm
