Indy is Our Pet of the Week on Wet Nose Wednesday

Amy from the Humane Society of West Michigan wasn't able to come into the studio this morning due, of course, to the COVID-19, but talked on the phone with me about Indy!

Indy is a handsome 4-year-old pup who is whip-smart and eager to please! Before entering our care, this adventurous guy never had a home indoors, so he'd love to find an owner who will have the time, patience, and experience to help him adjust to the new lifestyle of a spoiled indoor dog. If you're interested in adopting Indy, please visit our website at www.hswestmi.org

Doggy Backpacks

You have helped our Foster and Dog's Day Out programs grow exponentially during COVID, and our dogs are now getting more exposure than ever! However, many people who see our adoptable dogs out and about assume they already have loving homes, so we'd like to fix that by arming our volunteers with a few of these cute, trendy backpacks!

Please consider purchasing and sending us one of these 'doggy packs' through the link below to help identify our adoptable pets while they're out on adventures, and also give our volunteers an easy way to carry essentials like toys, treats, water, and potty bags.
