"Never doubt that a small group of
concerned citzens can change the world.
Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

Adoption Stories

 

(06/07/2011) This beautiful face belongs to a stray Klee Kai (miniature husky) brought into the shelter in June. A couple from New Hampshire saw her on Petfinder and drove to Ithaca's shelter to adopt her! Thank you to her new family for driving all that way to adopt her!

.....

(06/2011) All right, who could resist a smile like this!! This is the stray formally known as "Choc Lab #160" who is now known as Wyatt. He is being fostered by "Foster Love". Keep track of his progress in finding his forever home by clicking here.

 
 

(12/2010) This is Gretchen Rose. Gretchen is Pug / Chihuahua mix, about 10 years old and came to Gratiot County Animal Control as a stray. She was found following kids at an elementary school.

Gretchen was rescued by Animal Rescue Network Inc. (ARNI) from Lansing. She was treated by their vet where an infected and very painful eye was removed. She feels so much better now!

She was adopted within days of her surgery and her adopted family loves her so much. She will be happy and well taken care of for the rest of her life.

 

(08/2010) This beautiful Boxer mix was a stray, found living in an abandoned bus in Breckenridge. She had puppies but they were never found. Gratiot Animal Control labeled her as a boxer/pit mix and so she was not allowed to be adopted by the public. But the rescue group, Animal Placement Bureau (APB) stepped up and adopted her and gave her a second chance.

She is a loving, wonderful dog that has found a perfect home thanks to the love and compassion of APB rescue group.

 
 

(10/2010) Peaches was rescued by Animal Resource Network, Inc. (ARNI) and was adopted by a loving family.

 

(09/2010) "I helped with a transport from the Gratiot shelter in September month and fostered one of the dogs I transported.  He is a little Jack Russell who had been hit by a car and brought to the shelter; we named him Ralphie. He came to us with a lot of scrapes on his face and a severe ear infection, but now he's healed up perfectly and is the sweetest, best behaved little guy!"

"Ralphie was adopted by the best couple.  They fell in love with him immediately. He now lives in a big house with a big backyard.  His adopters are both recently retired and have the whole day to spend spoiling him.  He goes on jogs every morning, and she's even knitting him a sweater."

 
  (03/2010) This is Eddie, a Beagle rescued by the Animal Placement Bureau (APB) rescue group. While being fostered he went to work with his foster mom a couple of times. She reported that "He's a very good work dog, mostly just slept under my desk".
