The Mason Jar Cafe Furry Friend of the Week - Toby

Meet Summer! This beautiful 2-year-old girl has recently come to us after a 2-month stay with her last adopter. Now, don't let this scare you off! This girl is an absolute joy and it is due to personal extenuating circumstances that her owner has been unable to keep her. She is wonderful with children and people of all ages. She gets along very well with other dogs but we are unsure about her friendliness towards cats. She is crate trained and potty trained and is definitely snuggle trained. When it is time to go out she will let you know with some firm barks. Summer absolutely loves to play ball and spend time with humans getting cuddles. With her young age she is very active and will definitely need a fenced yard to play. She likes to take herself on walks that have not been authorized by her humans so she needs to be closely watched. On her ventures she is friendly and greets everybody with a wagging tail. However, we all know puppy dogs cannot do that and stay safe. We are looking for a home for Summer so that she continues to experience family life with as little time in the shelter as possible. Her only downfall is that she does get some separation anxiety when her humans leave, which can lead to destruction of some items she's not allowed to play with. With firm training and some patience from her humans this should be something that can be overcome easily. Summer is excited to meet all potential adopters who visit her at the Van Buren County Animal Control Shelter at 58040 County Road 681 in Hartford. Our phone number is 269-621-4624.

JAILBREAK! Meet Kevin, the 5yr old Labrador/Shar-pei mix who just busted out of prison. Kevin has spent the last 10 weeks in a prison training program learning all sorts of new tricks. He knows a great number of commands such as sit, shake, down, heel, high five, and roll over. He loves to play with other dogs and even gets along with cats. He is described as a 'people person'; he did not find anyone he didn't love and would make a great family dog. Kevin would make a great cuddle buddy, and don't let his age scare you because he has the activity level of a 1yr old! Kevin has a long report card of him being the best boy ever. He has so many great qualities that you just have to see in person. All he needs is to find a home to call his own and bust out of jail for a second time. Since he is already neutered his adoption fee is waived! Come to the shelter and meet 'Big Kev' and see what kind of love he can bring into your home. Contact Cass County Animal Control at 269-445-3701 or visit the shelter at 323 M-62, Cassopolis, MI 49031 to learn more about Kevin!
