Each week, WKTV features an adoptable furry friend (or few) from various shelters in the Grand Rapids area. This week, we focus on Humane Society of West Michigan, located at 3077 Wilson Dr. NW in Grand Rapids.

Humane Society of West Michigan’s mission is to rescue hurt, abused and abandoned animals and find them new, forever homes. The 501(c)3 non-profit organization helps over 8,000 animals annually and is 100% donor-funded by caring individuals and businesses in the community. Additional programs help reduce pet overpopulation, provide assistance to low-income pet owners, behaviorally assess animals and reunite lost pets with their owners.

Sheba — Female Domestic Short Hair

I am a 13-year-old cat looking for my forever home. I’m a sweet and social girl who loves pets and playing! I also like to relax and would do best in a quiet home that would give me some love and attention. I’m an easygoing cat and would bring someone a lot of joy. Please come meet me at Humane Society of West Michigan! Animals ages 7 years and older have their adoption fees waived due to generous grant funding.

Mijia — Female American Staffordshire Terrier Mix

I am a fun-loving, 3-year-old looking for my forever home! I seem to be house trained, love to play, and know several commands. I am currently too stressed to go home with another dog, but may do well with a male dog once I’m comfortable in a home. I love to snuggle and go for walks! If I sound like a good fit for you, please come meet me at Humane Society of West Michigan!

Chessy — Female Domestic Short Hair

I am a 5-year-old cat looking for my forever home! I need to be placed in a home with no dogs and no small children. I am social and playful, however, I am not very tolerant of being picked up or pet. I need an environment where I can approach people on my own terms and in my own time and have a space to hide when I need to be alone. I do enjoy playing with people, especially with wand toys once I have warmed up. Please come meet me at Humane Society of West Michigan!
