Pet of the Week 2025

If you are looking for a new furry family member for your home, please consider adopting from one of our area shelters. There are thousands of pets each year in Northern Michigan who lose their family for one reason or another. Rescue is love!

 

Cherryland Humane Society

Meet Beans! A one year old dapper gentleman looking for a new lease on life. He came to the shelter a little shy, but has become quite the chatterbox. He may chirp at you when you come to meet him! He’d enjoy a life full of birdwatching, playing with wand toys, and joining you on the couch! If you’re looking for a curious, gentle companion, with a distinctive tuxedo, you’ve come to the right place!

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

Cupid
Domestic Short Hair / Tabby
Medium Adult Male (neutered)
2 years old

Cupid has had a pretty tough life so far. He was abandoned in an apartment with several other cats, and he’s the last one to find a home, maybe because he was shy at first, unsure that he could trust anyone.

In his TC Paw foster home, however, “Q” has opened up so nicely that his foster mom says if you’ll just give him a few days, she promises you’ll be rewarded with “tons of love” and a bunch of his “homemade biscuits.”

Q’s favorite place is a lap. He gets along with other cats and loves to sleep in bed next to you and relax on the couch with you too. He’s just looking for the loving home he never had. Maybe it’s yours!

If you are interested in adopting a TC Paw cat or would like to set up a meet-and-greet, please complete the  Pre-adoption Application .

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.

 

Northern Purr Cat Rescue in St. Helen (Roscommon County)

We have two cats we’d love to find fur-ever homes for this week…

Ashton is a sweet boy that loves to be pet. We don’t know his story but he is ready to start a new chapter with his furever family. He is neutered and vaccinated. Once settled he will be your buddy and hang with you whenever he can. Look at those big beautiful eyes. How can you say no to his requests?

 

Molly came to TC Paw through a trap-neuter-return project in Elmira where the two pregnant cats dropped off at a barn two years before had become 40 cats, and the overwhelmed family needed help. We took in some of the cats we felt could be pets. Molly was among them. In her TC Paw foster home, she hid at first and was very timid and skittish. Now, however, she’s figuring out that this indoor cat thing is a pretty good gig – all the food she wants, treats, soft surroundings, toys, and people to pet her and scratch her head the way she likes. Every day, she gets more pet-like and less easily spooked. She’s playful, curious, and observant. She gets along with other cats. She’s a good eater and tidy litter box user. We think she’d be okay with older kids, but little ones might scare her. In a calm home with patient people, pretty Molly will continue to bloom.

Charlevoix Humane Society

Meet our lovely little Scout!

Scout is one of three Mountain Curs brought from Louisiana as part of a rescue mission headed by Bissell Pet Foundation. The mountain cur breed is known for its intelligence, trainability, and loyalty. They always aim to please their humans! Mountain curs are bred for work, so they are active dogs with energy to burn. Scout is certainly no exception, and will play, run, and explore to her heart’s content. Mountain Curs can live, on average, up to 14-16 years, and there are no reported breed-specific health issues.

Scout would likely do well in a home with another dog, as long as they’ll play with her and put up with her puppy energy! She is very smart, loving, and eager to impress. While Scout is still a puppy and has accidents on occasion, she has been doing well with her house training. With a bit more direction and patience, she’ll be potty trained in no time.

CAHS requires puppy classes following adoptions of dogs under nine months. Scout doesn’t mind going to school though! There are so many friends to meet and new things to learn. There are all kinds of things Scout wants to do and see. Do you think you could be the one to show her a happy home?

Adopting a pet from the Charlevoix Area Humane Society not only changes the life of an animal but also enriches your own life in countless ways. If you would like to adopt one of our dogs or cats, you will need to fill out an application and once it is approved, we can then set up an appointment for a visit. Please call 231-582-6774 with any questions.

AuSable Valley Animal Shelter

Hi Friends! My name is Skylar because for me, the sky is the limit!

I am an almost 5-year-old, female, Alaskan Malamute, please don’t confuse me for a husky – while we have a lot of similar qualities – I’m convinced that being a Malamute is where it’s at! I weigh in right at about 100lbs, and I’ve been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and I’m up to date on my heartworm testing.

I am looking for a furever home that understands large breeds like me and is aware of my grooming needs – I’m a high maintenance girl and I’ll need lots of spa days every year! I should mention, kids, cats, and other dogs – they just aren’t for me. I want all the attention to myself. I know lots of tricks – sit, down, shake, and even speak! I’m potty trained! When I’m not enjoying snacks, or long walks outside, I am a bit of a couch potato and love to snuggle. I’m so ready to settle in with a new family.

I am available to meet Tuesday – Saturday from 10am-6pm. If you have questions about how much I shed, or what my favorite smelling shampoo is – please reach out to my friends at AVAS. Email them at AVASCares2@gmail.com or by phone at 989-348-4117. I hope I get to meet you soon and show you all my tricks!

 

Cheboygan County Humane Society

Breed: Husky Mix
Age: 3 months old
Sex: Male
Color: Tan
Spayed/Neutered: Yes

Oak is a three month old pup that is ready to see what the world has to offer! We know Oak is a Husky/Shepherd mix, and it is believed he may also be lab/poodle but we do not know for certain. One thing we do know is that he’s adorable and full of love!

Given the breeds we do know, Oak will be a high energy larger sized dog who will require appropriate training and patience to be the best dog he can be. If you are ready to add a new four-legged friend to the family, consider Oak.

 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.
