Pets of the week: Mango was found abandoned in a hotel, Greta has the coolest markings

JACKSON, MI — The Jackson County Animal Shelter, 3770 Spring Arbor Road, has many pets available for adoption.

Here are two of them.

Mango is a 1-year-old, mostly black American Staffordshire mix. She is on the smaller side, weighing just 40 pounds.

Mango was found abandoned in a hotel. She is very friendly, housetrained and she walks nicely on the leash. Not a jumper or a barker, she would make a great walking partner.

Mango has a super shiny black coat with a white chest and cute ears that stand up with the tips down. She has been sponsored, so no adoption fee.

Greta is a 2-year-old, gray-and-white female cat with the coolest markings.

She is super friendly and will come to greet you. Greta also gets along well with all the other cats where she is housed. She is curious, loves treats and has these big gold expressive eyes.

Greta’s adoption fee is currently just $25 while the Bissell Empty the Shelters event is going on.

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.

Visiting the shelter is always best, but other adoption resources include online applications at https://www.co.jackson.mi.us/2302/Our-Adoptable-Animals, faxing 517-780-4750 or emailing animalshelter@mijackson.org.

The shelter’s current hours are 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.

More information is available on the shelter’s Facebook page. See more pets available for adoption at Petango.com.
