We want to introduce you to Yukon. This handsome guy would love to trade kennel life for the Yukon if he had the option! He is a Husky/Malamute mix (heavy on the malamute) who is 9 years young. Yukon came from Camp Pendleton-- yes, that Camp Pendleton! While he was not qualified for service as a US Marine, he lived on base. He was passed from family to family through the years that he spent there. He would be given a home, then the family would get transferred to a new base and would leave Yukon behind to be adopted out by a new family. Yukon went through approximately 9 families because of this sad cycle. He was then adopted by what truly seemed to be his fur-ever family. He had children and a dog sibling to share his home with.

The children suffered from severe allergies and the parents were constantly on the hunt for the cause. After a full allergy screening, it was determined that the saliva from both dogs were the cause of the allergies the children were suffering from. The family then has to make the heartbreaking choice to rehome both of their dogs. The task of cramming allergy meds into a young child is a daunting task and we can understand that. The other dog was rehomed fairly quickly by the family. Yukon, however, wasn't as lucky. No one wanted a big, 'old dog'. 

Let's be correct. The right people didn't want an 'old dog'. Yukon is a gentle soul. He loves people and is wonderful with young children. His previous family has a three-year-old who would snuggle and lay with Yukon. He seemed to relish the moments with the children. He wasn't even bothered when the now nine-month-old child came along. Yukon is house trained, good with other dogs and children and UTD on his vaccinations. Yukon also knows basic commands such as "sit". He isn't troubled by the noise of the kennel. He looks at us so sweetly and quietly, and we know we need to get him back into a permanent home. Would you be willing to give him a cool floor to lie down on and a backyard for sniffing? Will you be the FINAL family and home he ever has to get used to? 

We want to get Yukon into his fur-EVER home more than anything as the heat of the season approaches. This lovable pup has paid his dues with age and shouldn't have to look for another family AGAIN, but here he is. He has never seen a cat so he isn't sure if he will tolerate them, but he is great with children, including the young ones. If you can find it in your heart to share a life with a soul as beautiful as Yukon's, please come meet him at our shelter, Van Buren County Animal Control. We are located at 58040 County Road 681, Hartford, MI. Our phone number is 269-621-4624. We don't think that you'll be disappointed by this guy!

Espera and Vessel are 7-month-old siblings with sweet personalities and a special bond. These two love nothing more than curling up together in a cozy bed or cat tree, keeping each other company while they relax. When they’re not cuddling, you’ll often find them perched by the window, happily watching birds and squirrels like it’s their favorite TV show. They bring a calm, comforting presence along with just the right touch of playful curiosity. Both are gentle, affectionate, and enjoy spending time with their people as well as each other. While they can be adopted separately, it would be wonderful to see them continue their journey side by side. If you’re looking for one sweet companion or a perfectly matched pair, Espera and Vessel are ready to fill your home with double the love. Submit an adoption survey to Al-Van Humane Society at al-van.org/adopt!
