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.
Marcel — Male Shepherd/Hound Mix
I’m a 3-year-old goofy guy looking for my forever home! I’m an outgoing and social dog who was transferred to HSWM from another shelter making much of my history a mystery, however, they do know that I have lived successfully with children in the past. I love to fetch and play around! I’m looking for a home that could give me the attention and love I deserve! Please come meet me at Humane Society of West Michigan and see if we are the right fit!

Fluff — Female Domestic Medium Hair
I’m a 5-year-old cat looking for my forever home! I would do best in a home with no small children where I would have my own space.

Kylie — Female American Staffordshire Terrier/Pointer Mix
I’m a sweet dog who has so much love to give! I’m social and friendly with people and I love to snuggle, lay on laps, give hugs, and give lots of kisses. I’m a laid-back dog who has successfully lived with young children and cats in the past. I do need to be adopted into a home where I am the only dog. I am very kennel-stressed right now and am reactive when I am on my leash and see another dog. This means that I need to be placed in a home with no other dogs where I would have the time and space to destress. My adoption fee is sponsored by Kool Toyota, plus they will give my adopters a $100 gift card to Chow Hound to get me all of the things I need to start a great life! Please come meet me at Humane Society of West Michigan and see if we are the right fit!
