PET INFORMATION:
Name: Copper
Info: Male, 1 year
Days At the Shelter: 25 days
Copper is a curious, nose-to-the-ground kind of guy who likes to take in the world, one sniff at a time. When you first meet him, he may seem a little aloof, but give him a moment to sniff and explore, and you’ll quickly see his sweet, affectionate side truly shine. Copper is a total lovebug. He enjoys leaning in for hugs, flopping into laps, and soaking up attention from his people. He’s friendly, outgoing, and has a wonderfully goofy personality that makes him a joy to be around.
Copper loves his toys, especially soft squeaky ones, and you’ll often find him happily carrying them off to his bed to enjoy some solo playtime. He does appreciate having his own space while chewing or playing, so a home that respects his boundaries will help him feel most comfortable. This handsome guy is learning his basics, already knows sit, and loves to connect with his people, especially when toys or treats are involved.
Copper would do best in a home with respectful children who understand his need for space at times. Copper has potential with the right dog friend with proper intros, and no kitty cats please.
If you’re looking for an adventurous sweetheart who will make you laugh and then curl up close for snuggles, Copper might just be your perfect match.

Say hello to Ritz!
This big, handsome fella came to us after being found as a stray wandering around Boyne Falls for almost a week. We are guessing he is around 3 years old. While he may look tough, Ritz is a big softie and even a little nervous when it comes to new people. Ritz favors women, but will accept men when given time to warm up.
We believe Ritz is housetrained, he keeps his kennel VERY clean and doesn’t seem to rip up or toys or his bedding. Ritz doesn’t seem to care for dominant male dogs, but may do well with a more submissive dog.
He seems extremely curious of cats, so we are unsure if a house with cats would be the best fit for him. This sweet boy just needs a chance and a family to call his own, could that be you??
If you’d like to meet him, please stop by the Charlevoix Area Humane Society anytime Monday-Saturday between 12-5. You can set up an appointment by calling the Charlevoix Area Humane Society at 231-582-6774.
TC Paw Cat Rescue
This week, we are featuring Ophelia and Junie. These kitties are buddies, Came from the same situation and get along well, but are not thought to be bonded and could be adopted separately.
These two kitties came from a situation with too many cats to care for (9) and had not had any prior veterinary care. They are now fully vetted and ready for a forever home. They are both young – 10-13 months old. They are both gentle and sweet. Ophelia is more outgoing, Junie is more shy. Ophelia has a cute little chirping meow to get your attention.
Both are long haired with beautiful coats. Junie may prefer a more quiet home. Both are friendly toward other cats (unsure if they have been around dogs).
If you are interested in adopting these TC Paw cats or would like to set up a meet-and-greet, please complete the Pre-adoption Application .

AuSable Valley Animal Shelter
Hi there, I’m Pinkie Pie! I’m a three-year-old medium-sized mixed-breed gal, weighing about 35 pounds. I’ve been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and I’m up to date on my heartworm testing.
I’ve got a BIG personality to match my itty-bitty wiggly body. I’m super outgoing and absolutely love meeting new people—seriously, I’ve never met a stranger! I get so excited that my whole-body wiggles, so I’d do best with kids who are steady on their feet and can handle all my happy energy. I’d feel terrible if I knocked anyone down.
My story started out a little uncertain—I was found as a stray and never reclaimed—but I’m ready to leave that behind and start my next chapter with a family of my own. I’m all about fun, attention, and being part of the action.
I might do well with another dog friend if we’re introduced the right way—slow and steady helps set us up for success. As for cats… they’re just a little too interesting for me, so I need a cat-free home. I enjoy walks, snuggles, and all the treats you have to offer.
If you’re looking for a happy, affectionate, full-body-wiggling best friend, I just might be your girl! You can meet me at the shelter, Tuesday-Saturday 10am-6pm. If you have questions about what kind of treats I like, or how many kisses I hand out daily, reach out to my friends at AVASCares2@gmail.com, or by phone at 989-348-4117. I hope we get to see each other soon!
Cheboygan County Humane Society
Meet Lord!
True to his name, Lord is massive, majestic, and full of presence. This stunning Karakachan boy turns heads wherever he goes—but behind that impressive size is a truly sweet and gentle soul.
While Karakachans are known as guarding dogs, Lord was not trained for that role and does not act as a livestock guardian. Instead, he’s a loving companion who enjoys spending time outdoors and taking in the world around him.
Lord is a big boy who will need a home ready for his size and strength, but his kind nature makes him a wonderful potential addition to the right family. He is reported to do well with children.
We are unsure how Lord does with other dogs outside of the one he came in with, so proper introductions are important. A meet-and-greet will be required for any potential adopters with other dogs in the home. We are also unsure how he does with cats.
Lord is neutered, microchipped, and current on vaccinations—he’s ready to go to his forever home! If you’re looking for a loyal, striking companion with a gentle heart, Lord may be your perfect match.
