GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — This week’s featured adoptable pets from the Kent County Animal Shelter are a fluffy bunny and a sweet dog.
Gingersnap is a 3-year-old brown female lionhead, one of two similar rabbits at the shelter right now — the other being black and white Snickerdoodle.
“They can be adopted together or separately. They are being co-housed right now because they are friends,” shelter director Angela Hollinshead said.
Hollinshead said Gingersnap is relaxed and social, “easy to handle” and “doesn’t spook easily.”
If you want a dog, consider Barkley. He is a 3-year-old Labrador retriever mix who has been at the shelter for “several months” and has been featured as a pet of the week before. The shelter says Barkley is a good boy who is “waiting patiently for his new family.”
He has medium energy and would be a good running and hiking buddy, the shelter said, but also likes cuddles and napping. He’s very affectionate and sweet and would likely do well in a family.
The shelter says it now has 94 dogs in its care, including 17 rescued from a pickup truck in Walker in October and two puppies born of one of those dogs. Thirty of the dogs at the shelter are currently up for adoption. Until Dec. 1, the animal shelter is offering a special adoption fee of $50 for all dogs. It includes a Kent County dog license and an extra month of flea/tick and heartworm preventative prescriptions.
