Adoptables

Note: We are not the County Shelter on Bay Rd. We are foster-home based. Both organizations have great rescues.

How to Meet Our Adoptable Animals

Our website is not frequently updated, just a glimpse of the many animals currently in our care. Here is how you can meet your future family member:

  1. Check Facebook on Fridays: We post a weekly update of the cats and kittens that will be available if we are participating in a weekend adoption event.

  2. Join us on Weekends: Visit our team at PetSmart Saginaw on Saturdays and Sundays (12:00 PM – 5:00 PM).

  3. Apply Online: To ensure the best match, we require a completed application before scheduling visits at our foster homes. 

Are You Ready for a New Best Friend?

Adopting a pet is a life-changing (and life-saving!) decision. Before you fill out your application, take a moment to walk through this checklist to ensure your home and lifestyle are ready for a new addition.

1. The "Human" Factor

  • Is everyone on board? Make sure every member of your household is excited about the new arrival.

  • Do you have the time? Beyond cuddles, pets need exercise, training, and socialization. Do you have an extra hour or two a day to dedicate to a new companion?

  • Landlord check: If you rent, do you have written permission and a clear understanding of any breed or size restrictions?

2. The Financial Commitment

As a "No Birth" and "No Kill" organization, we believe in providing the best care possible. Remember that adoption is just the first step. Are you prepared for:

  • Quality Food: A healthy diet is the foundation of a long life.

  • Annual Vet Visits: Vaccinations, heartworm prevention, and dental care.

  • The "Rainy Day" Fund: We recommend having a small reserve for unexpected medical needs (remember, the average rescue costs us between $650 and $1,100 to rehabilitate!)

3. Your Living Space

  • Pet-Proofing: Is your home safe? (Think: hidden electrical cords, toxic plants, and secure window screens).

  • Supplies: Do you have the basics ready? You'll need a collar, leash, ID tags, a crate or bed, and high-quality food and water bowls.

  • The "Mess" Factor: Are you okay with a little extra fur on the couch or the occasional "oops" on the rug during training?

4. The Long-Term Bond

  • A Lifelong Commitment: Dogs and cats can live 15 years or more. Are you ready to be their "person" through every stage of their life?

  • The "Why": Remember, a pet is a source of purpose and companionship. If you are looking for a reason to get out of bed every morning, you’ve come to the right place!

momma dog.jpg

"Momma Dog" is 11.5 years old and recently delivered 8 healthy pups.(We got the crew when her babies were a week old.) She should be resting, playing and enjoy being a grandma at this point in her life. She gets along well with other animals. She is just a great dog in so many ways. Only bad thing we have to say about her is that is she is greedy with toys. She probably never had toys so we understand.

Mabel_edited.jpg

Mabel is the sweetest, playful, loving 3 year old cat we have ever met. She loves people, BUT not other animals...at all! Mabel must be an only pet-no dogs, no cats and probably nothing with fur or feathers just to be safe. 

Iris & Sneakers.jpg

​

Iris & Sneakers are a bonded pair (one year old sisters.)
This duo is the most curious, helpful, friendly, playful (mischievous) girls ever. The are very loving and social. They are sweet and like to cuddle when tired but they will need playtime and mental stimulation if you want to sleep at night. We do not picture them in a home with young children as they are difficult to trim their nails and with their active play, accidential scratching is a possibility. If you "love and understand cats" we have  your future pets.
