Cherryland Humane Society
Hello, I’m Mouse, pleasure to meet you. Oh no, I’m not a model, but thank you for asking! I think I’m pretty cute though. As you can see I’m a pretty special cat- on top of being a professional biscuit maker, a cuddle bug and an excellent conversationalist, I also have a medical condition that makes me a little wobbly. That doesn’t stop me though, it just makes me more unique!
I’m making friends at the shelter, but I’m looking for my forever home, someplace where I can spend time watching birds, snuggling up with my people, and making their lives better! Could that be with you? Come meet me and find out! Please ask the staff about my medical needs.
Cherryland Humane Society is a private, no kill animal shelter servicing Grand Traverse and Leelanau counties. We are an independent, 501-C, non profit organization. CHS is dependent on donations, fundraising activities, estates, planned giving, memorials and occasional grants for operation. Visit our available pets online at cherrylandhumane.org
TC PAWS
He has faced quite a challenging journey in his life. Once abandoned in an apartment alongside several other cats, he remained the last to find a loving home, possibly due to his initial shyness and uncertainty about trusting others.
However, in his foster home with TC Paw, Cupid has blossomed beautifully. His foster mom assures that if you give him a few days, you’ll be showered with “endless love” and a selection of his delicious homemade biscuits, affectionately dubbed “Q’s”. This sweet three-year-old has a fondness for laps and gets along well with other cats.
He’s simply searching for the loving home he’s always dreamed of—could it be yours?
If you’re interested in adopting Cupid, please visit our website at www.tcpaw.org and complete a pre-adoption questionnaire. A TC Paw volunteer will reach out to you soon.

TC Paw Cat Rescue was formed in the Spring of 2023 after the well-known northern Michigan rescue group AC PAW retired their rescue program for cats and dogs. Their mission is helping cats and kittens in the greater Traverse City region through rescue, spay/neuter, fostering, adoption, education and community collaboration.
The Munchkins Mission in Suttons Bay Cat Rescue
We have two bonded cats for this week… Christian and Ash.
Christian Grey, or “CG,” was captured as part of a feral litter. He has slowly learned to trust his caregivers but remains very shy. He is playful, especially with wand toys. He enjoys being petted and brushed when his person sits on the floor with him. CG would do best in a quiet, patient, adult home. He would do best with his brother, Ashas a housemate.
Ash was also captured as part of a feral litter. Ash is shy and timid. Eventually, his trust is earned and he will rub against the legs of his caregiver. He does not enjoy being held or picked up but with time and patience he will become a quiet companion. He will need a quiet, patient, and calm adult home with his brother, CG.
Charlevoix Humane Society
Well hello there!
The name’s Gypsy and it’s just so great to meet you! I’m a 3 year old Shepherd mix who found my way here after being in a giant facility downstate where there were way too many dogs. The nice staff here at at the shelter opened their doors to me and gave me a nice place to stay, and I have to say, I like it much better here.
The staff here tells me I’m “quite the character” whatever that means. I’m the fastest girl around and love speeding through the backyard, sometimes I even go so fast I forget where I’m going and have found myself crashing into something or other. That’s okay though, I get right back up and I’m ready to run again! My dream human would be someone who is very active, like me. I’d love to go for walks and hikes and I’d even give swimming in the lake a shot if they let me.
My past is a bit of a mystery, but what I do know is that I do not like other dogs, so a home where I can be the only pet would probably be best. I am mostly housebroken and they tell me I do a great job of keeping my kennel clean. Stop by and say hello to me, and maybe we can start our very own adventure together!
Gypsy has been with us way too long, please consider opening your home and your heart to this special girl!
If you’re interested in meeting Gypsy you can set up an appointment by calling the Charlevoix Area Humane Society at 231-582-6774. She can’t wait to meet you!
Little Traverse Bay Humane Society
Hello! I’m Carol, and I love attention, soft voices, and being part of whatever is happening around me.
Whether I’m exploring, cuddling, or showing off my silly puppy antics, I bring smiles and warmth wherever I go. I’m still learning about the world, and every day brings something new and exciting.
I have a gentle, playful nature and a curious spirit that shows in everything I do. My personality is just beginning to bloom, and there’s so much joy ahead. I’m ready to grow, learn, and share my days filled with love and happy moments. If you’re looking for a puppy who’s full of heart and charm, I’m the girl for you!
The Little Traverse Bay Humane Society is at 1300 West Conway Road or online at LTBHS.com. They are a private, no kill shelter serving Emmet County.
AuSable Valley Animal Shelter
Hi! My name is Major! Not because I’m a military man, but because I’m a Major Cutie Pie, I’m Major Love Bug, and I have Major Strength! Did I mention I’m insanely handsome?
A little bit about me, I am a 5-year-old, large mixed breed dude, weighing in at about 65 lbs! I’ve been neutered, vaccinated, and I’m up to date on my heartworm testing.
My past was a little rough, but my future is so bright I need shades! I spent a good portion of my life living outside in a kennel. When I arrived at AVAS, I had a severe flea infestation, and a horrible skin condition, I was underweight, and in need of some TLC. I got all of that here, and more! Now it’s my time to find my perfect home – but because my past didn’t set me up for total success, I have some work to do and some specific needs, I’m hoping my family can provide!
I would do best in a home as the only pet. I have a high prey drive, and cats aren’t for me. Because of my size, and strength, I would do better with kids in their teenage years or adults. I also need someone to help me learn the manners I never got as a puppy, ya know like basic commands, and leash manners.
If you can help me build a strong foundation – I’ll be the best dog ever. I love to snuggle, and I love affection, and I’m very food motivated.
If you’d like to meet me, please come by the shelter Tuesday–Saturday 10am–6pm. If you have questions reach out to my friends at AVASCares2@gmail.com or by phone at 989-348-4117. I hope I get to meet you soon!
Cheboygan County Humane Society
Luna is all puppy!
Luna may have come to CCHS with her puppies but that didn’t change her style. Luna is loving life as a 1 year old, wanting to jump, run, chase, play and absolutely loves going on walks. Although she is still learning her manners, on and off leash, Luna is a girl after your own heart when she gives you those big puppy eyes. Luna is treat motivated and will definitely be more willing to do anything you ask of her when you’re offering her some of the goods (those good treats!).
Luna is very active, she needs a home that is willing to give her walks, runs, exercise and most of all attention and love. Luna came in with another dog (excluding her puppies) so with a slow introduction we’re sure she would do ok with other dogs. Luna is young, so impressionable and willing to learn that she would adjust well. Luna does seem to have a bit of a prey drive when it comes to cats so cats may not be the best friend in the house for her.
Although she is young, we’re not sure if Luna has ever been around children so they will need an easy introduction and understanding of her size and body language. Luna will be a great best friend for a family looking for an active pup to keep them moving!
For more detials, go to cheboyganhumanesociety.org. Or stop by the shelter at 1535 Hackleburg Road, Cheboygan. Call 231-238-8221 for more information. Shelter hours are Mon-Fri 9-4pm and Saturday noon-4pm.
