GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Meet Fifth. Fifth is a 1-year-old Boxer mix that was brought to Humane Society of West Michigan back in October when he was returned due to unfortunate circumstances. He has been known to get along with other dogs. He's looking for an active home that has the energy to keep up with him.
Humane Society of West Michigan would also like you to meet Angel. Angel is an 8-year-old Domestic Shorthair who's been at the Humane Society for several weeks. So far she hasn't had any adoption applications and they'd love to change that. She is somewhat reserved, but not in a bad way. She loves to be pet and brushed and loves playing. Her favorite toy is a string! Her ideal home would be relaxed and where she would be the only cat.
