JACKSON, MI — The Jackson County Animal Shelter, 3770 Spring Arbor Road, has many pets available for adoption.

Here are two of them.

Belle is a 1-year-old Shepherd dog mix. She is medium sized and a complete sweetheart.

Belle loves people and is good with other dogs. She is still learning and would be a great addition to a family.

With Belle being young and a shepherd mix, she can be high in energy. She would need a family who is active and would not do well in a crate too long. Shepherds are loyal, intelligent and playful.

Buddy is a domestic shorthair mix cat. He is just over 2-years-old and is medium sized.

He is nothing but a lover and wants all the cuddles. If you are looking for a docile companion to keep you company, Buddy is the cat for you.

Dog adoptions require an application, online. A meet-and-greet with a dog also is mandatory. A cat room walk-through is available to test reaction. The dog adoption fee is $150 for medium and large dogs and $250 for puppies and small dogs, which includes vaccinations, microchip and sterilization.

Cat adoption fees are $60 for one cat, $80 for two, which includes applicable tests, vaccinations and spay/neutering.

Visiting the shelter is always best, but other adoption resources include online applications at https://www.co.jackson.mi.us/2302/Our-Adoptable-Animals, faxing 517-780-4750 or emailing animalshelter@mijackson.org.
