JACKSON, MI — The Jackson County Animal Shelter, located at 3770 Spring Arbor Road, has many pets available for adoption.
Here we will introduce two of them.
This gentle giant is a moose. He is a 6 year old Great Dane. Moose is a kind boy, but he is shy and doesn’t know why he is in the shelter.
He was picked up as a stray dog, but no one came to find him. He is house trained, walks well on a leash, knows some basic commands, and has some canine friends.
The average lifespan of a Great Dane is only 8 to 10 years, so this elderly man is looking for a loving home where he can live out his later years.
Daisy is a 2-year-old calico cat who was abandoned at home. I’m glad she’s at the shelter because she’s a happy girl.
She spends her days sunbathing, enjoying treats, and playing with the other kittens in the house. Daisy is the best greeter and friendly to everyone. She is a beautiful black color with splashes of orange.
An online application is required to adopt a dog. Meeting the dog is also a must. You can use a cat room walkthrough to test your reactions. Dog adoption fees are $150 for medium and large dogs and $250 for puppies and small dogs, and include vaccinations, microchip and neutering.
Cat adoption fees are $60 for one cat or $80 for two cats and include applicable exams, vaccinations, and spay/neuter.
While it’s always best to visit a shelter, other adoption resources include applying online at https://www.co.jackson.mi.us/2302/Our-Adoptable-Animals, 517-780- 4750 or email to animalshelter@mijackson.org. .
The shelter’s current operating hours are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Thursday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. .
