Thank you Biggby Coffee Sprinkle Rd - Kalamazoo, MI for letting us visit with Samson! He absolutely loved his pup up and saying hi to all the visitors!
Meet Samson! He is such a friendly, affectionate, sweet boy who is about 3 years old and is ready for his forever home! Samson is a true sweetheart. He loves being a lap dog and does well on a leash (pulls a little when excited). Samson loves other dogs and has been a part of play groups with other dogs at the shelter. Meet and greets with household dogs are still required to make sure their personalities vibe with each other. Samson is such a good boy and would love a family to call his own! Come adopt Samson at Kalamazoo County Animal Services & Enforcement!

MAN CRUSH MONDAY!
We have way too many sweet boys to choose from, so instead of picking just one, we’re shining the spotlight on some of our longest residents. 🥹
These handsome guys have been patiently waiting for their forever families, and each one has so much love to give. They deserve to be someone’s ManCrushMonday and someone’s forever best friend.
Take a look at these good boys, share their faces, and help us get them seen! Maybe one of them is the perfect match you—or someone you know—has been waiting for.
Long-term doesn’t mean less lovable. It just means they’ve been waiting longer for their turn.

September was another AMAZING month for adoptions!
Thank you SO much to everyone who opened their homes to a new dog, cat or pocket pet and adopted from us.
We also appreciate everyone that volunteers, donates, shares our posts, and helps spread the word about adoption. And a special thank you to all of our rescue partners for helping us transfer so many animals out of the shelter. We can all make a difference at saving lives!
Looking forward to even more adoptions in November!!
