Pets of the week: Rex is a happy guy. Wednesday likes being petted

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

Here are two of them.

Rex is a 2-year-old American Staffordshire mix who was surrendered by his owner. He is tan and white with blue eyes and four white paws. Rex is a happy guy who is muscular, fit and ready to be someone’s walking buddy.

He is highly treat motivated and looking to please.  It would not take much time to teach him some basic commands and to learn to walk nicely on the leash. He is always very excited to come out of the kennel and spend time with people. 

Wednesday is a 12-year-old long hair calico cat who came in as a stray. She came in with a flea issue that is now resolved and her hair coat is growing back.

Wednesday is friendly, she likes treats and being petted. This elegant looking girl has a lot of good years left and is looking to spend them with a new family.

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.
