JACKSON, MI — The Jackson County Animal Shelter, 3770 Spring Arbor Road, has many pets available for adoption.
Here are two of them.
Marty is a 2-year-old German Shepherd mix. He is on the smaller size for a Shepherd at 56 pounds.
Marty is a happy guy and gives hugs and kisses. Some of the other dogs have become his friend and he loves to play.
Marty is just learning some basic commands, but he is a quick learner, especially with treats.
He is happiest when he can get outside, take a walk and enjoy the company of his human.
Nyx is a 1-year-old solid black shorthair cat who was surrendered by her owner.
Weighing just six pounds, Nyx is on the smaller size. This sweet girl is still pretty afraid of all the new sights and smells at the shelter.
She gets along with the other cats where she is housed. Nyx likes to cuddle up in her little cat house and enjoy a good nap.
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.
