PET INFORMATION:
Name: Elaine
Info: Female, 10 years old
Days At the Shelter: 946 days
Hi friends! My name is Elaine. I arrived at CHS from my friends at Bark Nation, they saved me. Before Bark Nation, I was abused and misguided to what pet ownership really means. Now I am loved, safe, free from pain, called a good girl, receive all the booty rubs, and have all the tennis balls my puppy heart desires.
I would make the perfect hiking buddy as its one of my favorite activities (as long as it’s a nice day). Playing in the sun with my favorite toys and my best friends is the dream. My favorite toys are tennis balls and stuffies. If you are looking for a sweet, lovable older gal who is still ready for adventures – call my friends at the shelter to learn more about me. Help me make my dreams come true, I know I deserve it! Please ask my friends at the shelter about my medical needs!
I would like to be the only animal in the home and mature kids (16+) for me please.
Notes from Elaine’s foster:
Elaine has been in our home for almost 6 months. She is such a love! She spends a great deal of her day napping in the sun and loves to follow us from room to room and stay close by to whatever we are doing. She adores all people and approaches them with joy and zeal. She loves meeting everyone! Our house has tween children in the house and she does wonderfully with them.
Elaine is curious and sniffs everything. Her favorite activity is to cuddle right next to people and make nests out of blankets. She LOVES stuffies, but shows her love by destroying them. Elaine enjoys walks and can handle some distance, but loves to sniff everything along the way and make lots of stops! She is less interested in the outdoors during snow, rain or cold and prefers quick visits and then a swift return to blankets.
We had Elaine loose in the house for months and just closed doors and she did wonderfully. Recently she has shown more separation anxiety and we have gone to crating her while we are away and she has done well with that. Elaine has been very receptive to learning some of the basic norms of household living (this is new to her) and she is even starting to learn to sit, come and leave it. She is very motivated by food during training and all day long.
Day to day care for Elaine requires daily medications to help her anxiety and allergies. Her allergies require her to be on a special diet as well. She takes her medicine easily and happily. Twice a week she needs to take a medicated bath, which she does without a fight. Although her allergies are medicated she has occasional flare ups that need extra medical support.
This sweet gal will liven up any home and deserves the world! Please call CHS with any questions or interest!
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

This pretty girl is Tonic!
Tonic came to us from another shelter in the area that was overcrowded, and she has been the sweetest thing since her arrival. Tonic seems to adjust great to new environments and people and is quick to roll around and ask for pets.
It’s hard to resist those big green eyes looking up at you asking for some love! Tonic is unfortunately FIV positive and will need to be in a home where she can be the only cat and must be an indoor only cat. FIV can be transferred to other cats but does not affect dogs or humans. FIV cats are considered immunocomprised so a small cold has the potential to become a bigger sickness for her. Many FIV cats are able to live full, happy, healthy lives with no issue.
This darling girl just needs someone to take a chance on her, we promise you that she is worth it!
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
Meet Tom!
This all-around great guy and handsome fellow loves attention and people! Tom is just adorable, with the wide head and neck of a long time, unneutered male. While fearful and shy at first, all has changed. Tom meows to get attention, rolls to have his belly rubbed and is right at home. He’s not a fan of wet food but loves his kibble and people (have we mentioned that?)
Tom was living with a family with young children and other cats and dogs. They could not afford to neuter him and he began to spray to mark his territory. Since being neutered for several weeks now, we have seen no spraying behavior at all. He should do well with a variety of companions and many types of homes.
Tom is FIV positive. Sadly, he had been let outside from his prior home where he was once attacked by another cat and badly injured. FIV is something to be aware of but not afraid of. Humans can’t get it from cats. Since cats can be infected only through deep bite wounds, Tom can live with other non-aggressive cats. With a good diet and regular vet care, he can have a long, love-filled life with the lucky people who become his furever family.
If you would like to meet Fred, fill out a pre-adoption questionnaire, and a TC Paw volunteer will contact you.

AuSable Valley Animal Shelter
Hi Friends, My name is Charlie. Charlie Chaplin to be exact! I am just over a year old, and I was originally adopted from AVAS as a baby about 1 year ago. Unfortunately, my owner who adopted me, underestimated the commitment a young dog takes, and I have a little too much puppy energy for her to handle.
In efforts to do right by me, she reached out to my old friends at AVAS to try and help me find my forever home. I started life with some foundational items, but since I’m just over a year old, I’ll need some help picking up where I left off.
I should mention, I’m housebroken, crate trained, I do well in the car, and I do really well with nail trimming! I seem to enjoy the company of other dogs once I’m properly introduced, and I don’t mind the company of cats! I enjoy all the big people I meet, I haven’t had a lot of experience with children, so older kids that are stable on their feet would be best. It is always recommended to closely supervise any interactions between all dogs and children.
My favorite things are ice cubes, extra hard toys (I like to destroy soft toys), and I love playing fetch! I enjoy extra-long walks, as I’m an active boy.
I need some help with my manners, sometimes I need to be reminded not every new human friend wants a hug, I know how to sit, but I’m still learning other things like shake, lie down, and stay. My recall needs some work, so a fenced in yard would be really exciting for me – but if not – that’s okay! Just something we’ll work on together.
I hope there is a new home that can help me finish all my learning things. So, if you’d like to meet me – please reach out to the shelter at AVASCares2@gmail.com or by phone at 989-348-4117 to set up a meet and greet.
I’ll leave you with this parting quote from my namesake – “In Three words, I can sum up everything I’ve learned in life – it goes on!” Charlie Chaplin!

About Edward, Prince and Hightide… Puppy Update!
Our Lab/Shepherd mix puppies are still accepting applications and waiting for their future families!
This adorable group includes 3 girls and 3 boys, and each one is full of personality. They are all very friendly, inquisitive, playful, and ready to start learning what life in a forever home is all about.
Like all puppies, they will need training, consistency, patience, structure, and families who understand that puppy energy comes with lots of learning moments. With time, guidance, and follow through, these babies have every opportunity to grow into wonderful family members.
They are sweet, curious, and eager to explore the world around them. They just need the right families willing to help them settle in, learn routines, and become the best dogs they can be.
We are still accepting applications for these puppies. Due to short staffing last week, all applications will be gone through this week, and approved applicants will be called to schedule meet and greets.
A special thank you to our amazing photographer and our willing volunteers who worked through the puppy craze to capture these absolutely amazing photos. It takes patience, teamwork, and a lot of puppy wrangling, and we are so grateful for everyone who helped make it happen!
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through applications and continue caring for the animals at CCHS. These puppies can’t wait to meet their people!
