Sweet Bella, 2 year old Rot Shepard mix. Great with people, kids and other dogs. Not tested with cats. House trained,spayed and up to date with shots. She is a big puppy so best with older kids because of size. Would be a great second dog. She loves the couch, the perfect buddy to watch the game. Please call Animal Aid 269-934-7729 to meet this special girl.

The Mason Jar Cafe's Furry Friends Friday featuring Bella!

Gus is a sweet, quick-learning dog who loves fetch and loves meeting new people! He’s about two years old and very friendly – he’s been good with other dogs here in the shelter, and does well on the leash; he learns new tricks and methods very quickly. Like all our adoptable dogs, he’s fixed, microchipped, heartworm tested, and vaccinated for rabies, parvo/distemper, and Bordetella/kennel cough. Gus looks forward to meeting you at Berrien County Animal Services, 1400 South Euclid Avenue, Benton Harbor, MI 49022, Phone 269-927-5648.

The Mason Jar Cafe Furry Friend of the Week - Ellie 

We invite you to take a moment and get to know Chunk. This hunk o' love shows his love complete with drool! Chunk is approximately 4-5 years old and comes with all of his 'bits' attached. But, no worries, we provide you with a spay/neuter certificate to help offset the cost of having those pesky danglies removed! Chunk hasn't been tested with cats or kids, but he has shown he is a friendly gent with our staff and the vet he got to meet for his vaccinations. He knows some basic commands such as 'sit' and 'paw' which he was kind enough to demonstrate without even being asked. (We thought that was pretty cool!) Chunk is a pretty laid-back guy who enjoys naps, but he tends to prefer the floor over his bed. Maybe in time, when he realizes that beds are comfy he will use them, but we aren't forcing him to rush into a decision on that as of yet. He loves pig-ears and chews. He enjoys treats of all kinds and accepts them gently from your hands. We haven't had a lot of time to fully get to know him yet, but so far, we are enjoying our time with him. We think that you will as well if you meet him. He does have a large growth hanging from his back leg, but the vet assures us that a surgery for its removal would be pretty simple. He has such gentle eyes that show a soul looking to be loved. Are you looking for someone to love you as well? Maybe a movie partner? Chunk would love to share late-night movie marathons with you. However, we do suggest that you make him his own bowl of popcorn for movie nights for drool reasons. Chunk  is waiting to meet all potential adopters at Van Buren County Animal Control Shelter at 58040 County Road 681 in Hartford. Our phone number is 269-621-4624.
