GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — This week's featured adoptable pets from the Kent County Animal Shelter are a fluffy bunny and a sweet dog.
Snickerdoodle is a 3-year-old female lionhead rabbit.
"She's very soft. I can't even begin to describe how soft she is," shelter director Angela Hollinshead said. "She's very sweet. She's very mellow for a bunny."
The shelter also has another rabbit named Gingersnap up for adoption. Hollinshead said Gingersnap is also very social. The rabbits came to the shelter together and are living together now, but may be adopted either together or separately.
"(Snickerdoodle) would loved to spend this weekend in somebody's nice, cozy home," Hollinshead said.
Or you can choose Pumpkin Spice, a medium-sized, 4-year-old American Staffordshire terrier. She is housetrained, spayed, heartworm-free, up to date on vaccines and microchipped.
The shelter says she has "just the right amounts of warmth, sweetness and spice to make the perfect companion." She likes to meet new people and explore her environment. She likes to sniff everything when she goes on walks.
With support from the Bissell Pet Foundation, the shelter is discounting dog adoptions to $50 through Dec. 17.
"We have 40 dogs at the Kent County Animal Shelter now who are just waiting for their forever homes, and really every kind of shape and size you can imagine: There's shepherds, there's American Staffordshire terriers, we have some small breeds," Hollinshead said.
