Cherryland Humane Society
Joseph is a distinguished older gentleman at 12 years old, looking for a place to spend his golden years. He’s affectionate, curious and would like nothing more than a beam of sunlight, and a lap to sit on. He’s been a little shy in the shelter, but with some gentle love and care, he would make a great companion and a purrfect friend!

We have a BONDED pair this week with TC Paw Cat Rescue: Maureen and Izzy. Maureen is the long fur brown and Izzy is the dark torti fur..
Maureen is a friendly, confident cat who looks you right in the eye. She kind of flirts with you by rolling on her back when she wants something. Really cute. She’s a pretty cat with a mane around her face, a bushy tail, soft fur, and eyes that go from gold to green in different light. She’s quick on her feet and likes to stand on shoulders or chair backs to be close and observe. She uses her scratching post regularly. Maureen loves attention. Pick her up and hold her to your chest, talk to her, and let her curl up in your lap. She looks out the window and chatters at birds. When she’s hungry, Maureen will nibble and lick the ends of your fingers. Maybe it’s a behavior left over from being a hungry stray that will fade when she’s confident that there’s plenty of food.
Our other cat, Izzy, is lovey, has a loud purr, and likes to be picked up and held. She has beautiful green eyes, a shiny tortoiseshell coat, and an orange spot on her rear paws. She’s quick on her feet, uses her scratching post, likes to stretch out, and enjoys exploring high, low and small spaces. When it’s naptime, she finds a quiet spot. Possibly because she was so hungry as a stray, Izzy has a big appetite and will finish a slower cat’s food. Her foster intervenes, and we think this behavior will fade as Izzy gets more confident that there’s plenty of food.
These girls are bonded, and we feel they need to stay together. Check Maureen’s and Izzy’s pages and see if you have room in your home and heart for this pretty pair.

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)
Meet Taz! She is a senior gal at 12 years old looking for a quiet home. She is not a fan of dogs and has not been around cats. Her purrfect home would be an older couple or someone that will let her be the queen of the castle. She is ok being left alone. Taz does like to play. She is not a lap cat but will be close by to keep you company and will let you know when she would like attention.

This is Dobbie, a sweet, senior hound dog who would love to make your acquaintance! Dobbie came to us as a stray in August, and since then has stolen the hearts of dog walkers and staff alike. He enjoys going for long walks, and plays well alongside other dogs as far as we can tell. Dobbie is about 8 years old, but still loves running and playing just as much as any other good ‘ol dog.
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.

Hi there! My name is Oso! (Yes, like the bear – but don’t worry, I’m more teddy than grizzly.) I’m a small black Havanese boy with big, soulful eyes, a soft curly coat, and a heart that’s just bursting with love to give. I may be little, but I have a HUGE personality (and an even bigger cuddle game). So, what do you say? Want to meet me and see if we’re meant to be?
Love & tail wags,
Oso

Hi, I’m Lucas!
I’m a year-old Border Collie mix, so I’m packed with energy, brains, and a whole lot of love to give! If you’re an active person who loves outdoor adventures: I’m your guy! Whether it’s hiking, running, or playing fetch, I’ll be right there with you, giving it my all. I’m happiest when I’ve got a job to do—fetching a ball, learning new tricks, or just keeping my mind sharp.
But hey, don’t think it’s all work and no play! I’m a total cuddle bug too. After a fun play session, I’m all about snuggling up and giving you some love. Plus, I’m a pro on the leash—walking with me is a breeze!
Oh, and did I mention I love swimming? There’s nothing better than cooling off in the water after a busy day of play.
One thing to note: I’ve got a beautiful, fluffy Border Collie coat that will need some TLC! Regular brushing and grooming will keep me looking my best and help prevent tangles and mats. But don’t worry, I’ll enjoy the attention—plus, it’s a great bonding moment for us!
I’m neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, heartworm tested, and housetrained, so I’m ready to join your family and start our next adventure together. If you’re looking for a smart, active, affectionate companion who’s ready to work, play, and cuddle, I might just be the perfect match.
You can contact the shelter at 989-348-4117 or avascares2@gmail.com with any questions and to schedule a meet and greet. Can’t wait to meet you!
