JACKSON, MI — The Jackson County Animal Shelter, 3770 Spring Arbor Road, has many pets available for adoption.
Here are two of them.
Cinco is a 1-year-old Boxer mix that came in as a stray. Cinco is friendly and happy to play with some other dogs.
He comes out of the kennel very energetic, but relaxes after getting some exercise.
Cinco is very sweet and affectionate. He knows some basic commands and likely would be easy to train because he wants to please and loves treats.
Ice Cube is a 2-year-old orange buff tabby cat that was surrendered by his owner that just had too many pets.
He is quiet and shy upon meeting but he enjoys being petted and receiving attention. Ice Cube is accustomed to being with other cats.
He just minds his own business and is so cute when he tucks his front feet as in the photo. Ice Cube would make an excellent lap warmer on these cold days.
Dog adoptions require an application, online. A meet-and-greet with a dog also is mandatory. A cat room walk-through is available to test reaction. The dog adoption fee is $150 for medium and large dogs and $250 for puppies and small dogs, which includes vaccinations, microchip and sterilization.
Cat adoption fees are $60 for one cat, $80 for two, which includes applicable tests, vaccinations and spay/neutering.
