Forgotten Friends - Seeking Forever Homes!

PLEASE REMEMBER US!

Hello Everyone, my name is Jimmy.  When I first came to the Barry County Animal Shelter last November as a stray, I was happy to be fed and to have a warm place to sleep.   But, now it seems like I am becoming a permanent resident at the shelter!  I really need a forever family who will love, appreciate and understand me!  I love to go for walks, get and give hugs.  I am a good listener who loves treats.  You just have to understand that I probably should be your "one and only dog" because I don't always get along with others.  Please come visit me and give me a chance.  
If, after meeting me, you realize that I'm not a perfect match for your home and family, please, please do me a huge favor and tell your friends and family about me.  Please remember to include all of my great qualities like:  a handsome guy; loves leisurely walks; good listener; will love for treats;  and I will love whoever, finally, takes me home forever!!

Hello Everyone!  My name is Layla.  I have been at the Barry County Animal Shelter for months!  For several weeks, I was in heat and pretty much left alone in my kennel, away from other dogs and not even being walked.  It was okay at first to be in a warm place with regular food and water. But now that I have been receiving more TLC from volunteers - being walked and hugged and having my picture taken, it's becoming absolutely unbearable to be locked back up in a kennel all the time!  I desperately need a family to love that I can love back.  You just have to accept me as your "one and only girl" because I prefer not to be with other dogs.  
If, after meeting me, you realize that I may not be the perfect match for you, please, oh please, tell your friends and family about me!  Please remember to include my endearing qualities like:  pretty girl; sweet, huggable lap dog;  playful;  good listener; and I'll love my family
 with all of my heart!

These dogs are long overdue
in their need for Forever Homes!
Please help us advocate for them!
They're counting on us
 to help end their wait

Here's 90 lbs. of love with an adorable mug!

This guy loves long, leisurely walks, treats, and hugs. 


He does like to be the "big man on campus"


so he would do best in a home without other pets.  

A Good Listener! :)



A Big Lovable Guy <3

We Just Love this Guy and 
want to help him find 
His Forever Family!

Shelter Dogs Make Great Greeters!

Our Barry County Animal Shelter Boys

Earl and Jack  

Greet Customers at Pet Supplies "Plus" in Grand Rapids

Jack and Earl were a hit at PSP on Saturday!
Shelter boys Earl and Jack represented the Barry County Animal Shelter at the Pet Supplies "Plus" adoption event at 3110 28th St. SE, in Grand Rapids, on Saturday (March 2nd).  These boys were sweet, playful, and courteous greeters for PSP customers.  Both boys welcomed attention and treats from everyone who stopped by.
Jack chillin'


Jack - a Playful Boy!

Jack - Photo Opp! :)

Jack - People Pleaser :)

Jack - How can you resist?!


Jack is a handsome, smart, playful Hound/Springer mix.  He would make a great addition to any family. <3   He is a good listener and he knows many commands - like "sit", "shake" and "down".  He's a great entertainer, when he gets the opportunity to play outside he's absolutely acrobatic!  He jumps in the air in circles, chasing his tail but will "stop on a dime" for a treat and a photo opp! :)

Adorable, lovable, huggable Earl!

Earl - Great Close-up of this Handsome Mug!

Earl - Gotta Love Him!



Earl is a very cute, sweet, loving Bulldog/Terrier mix.  Everyone just loves his adorable mug! <3  He's always ready for a hug and absolutely enjoyed the attention that he received from PSP staff and customers.  He loves everyone but seems to especially warm-up to the guys! :)  Earl also liked to greet customers of the "canine persuasion" and we think that he may do well with furry siblings in a household or walks in the Dog Park.  

We love these guys and would really like 
to see them placed in a forever home soon!  

Please tell your friends and family about Earl and Jack
 and their friends at the Barry County Animal Shelter 
who are waiting to find their forever homes!











You Just Have to Meet Josey!

Josey

Josey - a Sweet Girl
 who is Ready and Waiting
 for a Forever Family
!

Josey is a cute, green-eyed, playful girl who appears to be a Terrier,with maybe some Australian Cattle dog, mix.  She has been waiting at the shelter for awhile.  She really needs to have a family of her own.  She did such a wonderful job on her outing a Pet Supplies "Plus" a few weeks ago, we're surprised that she is still available for adoption. 
Getting Hugs! <3

So Cute!

Love that Smile! :)
Just chillin' at PSP

Sleepy ride back to shelter
Please tell everyone you know about her
 so that she can go home with a forever family!
