Pets of the week: Lotkey has a huge personality. Charlie has beautiful eyes

JACKSON, MI – Lotkey and Charlie are just two of the many animals at Cascades Humane Society that are looking for loving forever homes.

Lotkey is a 5-year-old American bulldog with a HUGE personality. He is full of energy and loves to play. He even will “play bow” in hopes of getting someone to play tug-o-war or throw a ball for him.

Lotkey will politely sit for a treat and loves passing time chewing on a bone. He is quite strong and can pull the leash, so be prepared. Lotkey has been socialized well with children, but has never met a cat. He would probably do best in a home with one other dog or as an only dog, as he prefers the attention to be all on him.

Lotkey has been neutered, up to date on all necessary vaccines, microchipped and has tested negative for heartworm.

If you currently have any dogs, a meet and greet is required to make sure they get along, as Lotkey can be a little dog choosey. Please make sure your dogs are up to date on their rabies vaccine as proof is required before a meet and greet.

Charlie is a 7-year-old male cat ready to make his way into your heart and home. He’s a big fella with a mellow personality, and has been nicknamed Chunky Charlie for a good reason.

Charlie loves a good head scratch and will let out the loudest of purrs. He also has beautiful, bright eyes that are memorizing.

Charlie is front-paw declawed, neutered, up to date on all necessary vaccines, microchipped and has tested negative for FeLV/FIV.

Cascades Humane Society, 1515 Carmen Drive, is open to the public from noon to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

All dogs and cats at Cascades Humane Society have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and given parasite protection prior to adoption. Those who adopt pets also receive a free wellness checkup from any of 24 area veterinarians.

Dog owners wishing to adopt another dog are required to do a meet and greet with their dog and the dog they’re choosing to adopt.

CHS also has added services to its Spay and Neuter Assistance Program. The service, available during scheduled spay or neuter surgeries, includes vaccines, heartworm testing for dogs, FIV and FeLV testing for cats and dental procedures.

CHS also has a Pet Food Pantry to help families going through financial hardship. CHS accepts cat or dog food donations, as long as the food is in its original packaging. Donors can drop off food by the pole barn behind the facility. The Pet Food Pantry is open from noon to 2 p.m. on the first Saturday of the month.
