The Humane Society of Livingston County is taking 50 percent off the normal adoption fees of $80 for all adult black or black and white cats adopted at the shelter for the month of April. “Our black cats tend to remain at the shelter longer than their brown or orange counterparts, which is unfortunately reinforced by what we hear from shelters around the country,” said Sarah Mews, shelter manager. “With our special promotion, we hope that people will stop by so they can see firsthand just how affectionate, playful and lovable they really are.” Cats can be viewed online at www.humane-livingston.org. The adoption fee includes spay or neuter surgery, cat leukemia/FIV test, all age-appropriate vaccines, micro chipping and a Humane Society of …

A Treeing Walker Coonhound is available for adoption at the Humane Society of Livingston County.
Hi, my name is Juliet. I'm a 5-month-old Treeing Walker Coonhound who was given up due to my owner having too many animals. I have been mostly outdoors so we will need to be house trained in my new home. I have been around kids as young as 5 years of age and am very gentle. I will need to learn basic obedience and will need some leash training. I have not been around dogs other than my litter mates and mom nor have I been around cats. I'm a super-sweet dog that will be extremely grateful for a loving, indoor home.

Hello, my name is Princess. I'm a gorgeous long-haired Tortie who was brought in with two other cats whose names are Willow and Bandit. Our owner found us as kittens and recently gave us up for having too many animals. I'm on the shy and timid side but will open up once I get acclimated slowly into my next home. We haven't been around children at all or dogs. I am used to scratching on a scratching post so I hope my new family has one for me.

A Labrador Retriever Mix is available for adoption at the Humane Society of Livingston County.
Hello everyone! My name is Mike. I'm a handsome Black Lab mix with some white markings. I was born around 1/2012 so I'm still quite young! Unfortunately, I wasn't socialized very well so I'm timid and shy. I also do sometimes submissively urinate especially if I am being corrected. I need a gentle and patient owner who will work with me to build my confidence. This can be achieved by creating positive situations for me when going to new places and meeting new people. The staff thinks I would do fine around children but please keep in mind that I do scare easily so older kids may be best. I get along well with other animals and I love to play with tennis balls! When I was tested to see how I'd do with cats, all I wanted to do was to give …

An Australian Shepherd is available for adoption at the Humane Society of Livingston County.
Hello, my name is Mitzi. I'm a senior Aussie who was born on June 6, 2004. I originally lived with an older man who had no kids. Unfortunately, he became ill and could not come home. I then spent two months in a boarding kennel while the workers tried to find me a home. They thought they did and I was in that home for almost 5 weeks before being dropped off here. While I was at the boarding kennel, they observed that I did well with other dogs. The person who took me for 5 weeks said that I am dominant. I have had no issues with other dogs here and the staff thinks I'd be fine with another dog in a home. I do great with cats but have never been around kids. I'm completely house trained and also know commands and tricks!

An Australian Shepherd/Labrador Retriever Mix is available for adoption at the Humane Society of Livingston County.
Hi, my name is Tiny. That's an odd name for a dog that weighs about 56 pounds! I was born around 2008. I was surrendered because I did not get along with the 3-year-old twins in my home. My original owner passed away and I was taken in by a family member with children. I am not used to being around rambunctious kids who sometimes teased me. I am a happy, happy boy who loves everyone I meet! I have lived with a cat and did fine. I haven't lived with another dog so I would need to meet any new prospective canine siblings before going home with them. I'm well mannered and completely house trained! If placed with children, they will definitely need to respectful towards animals and also on the older side.

A Border Collie/Spaniel Mix is available for adoption at the Humane Society of Livingston County.
Hi, my name is Mayzie. I'm a pretty mixed breed who was born around May 2012. I weigh under 50 pounds. I seem to be house trained but do need to learn some basic commands. I'm a high-energy dog who can sometimes play a bit rough. Because of that the staff recommends no small kids. I also will sometimes growl when eating so please keep that in mind before adopting me. I should be adopted by a person who's willing to work a bit with me on some manners and training. I like some dogs but not others so, if you have a dog at home, they'll have to come meet me here at the shelter! I don't mind cats at all and may even try to get them to play!

A Siamese cat is available for adoption at the Humane Society of Livingston County.
Hello, my name is Felix. You'd think with a name like that, I'd be a male but I am a female! I was born around June 2008. My owner had to give me up due to someone being allergic to me and also that I do not like other animals. I've never been around children so it's unknown if I would do well with them in a home. I can be affectionate and playful in a home situation but here at the shelter I'm unhappy and stressed. I have an extreme sensitivity to vaccines and anesthesia so adopters should know this up front. I'm playful and love to chaser the laser pointer!

A Labrador Retriever Mix is available for adoption at the Humane Society of Livingston County.
Hi, my name is Tanger. I am a former stray who earned the name Tanger because I was found near the outlet mall. It's estimated that I was born sometime in 2009. I weigh just over 56 pounds. I'm a pretty laid back dog who would likely do well in a home with kids and other animals. I am an escape artist here and had to be extra-secured into my kennel to keep me in. Sometimes I'm a bit shy when I first meet people.

A Labrador Retriever Mix is available for adoption at the Humane Society of Livingston County.
Hi, my name is Shiera. I'm a very friendly, affectionate female Lab mix born in 2008. I am typically quiet, but can also be quite active and playful. I have been around kids of all ages and do great! I get along with some dogs, but probably would not be good with small dogs or cats in the home. I am completely house trained and walk nicely on a leash too. I was happy in my previous home, but my family gave me up because I had some food allergies they could not afford to care for properly. Thankfully, after receiving some extra care here at the Humane Society, my itchy skin has cleared up now. I've also been receiving heartworm treatments at the shelter and doing very well, so I'm hoping to get back to a full, active life again soon. If I …
