Meet Cleo the Puppy - Christine's Pet of the Week!

Cleo is a 3 month old mixed breed puppy with the most adorable ears and face at that! She's a bit shy at first, but likes to snuggle once she gets to know you. If you're interested in getting to know more about Cleo you can contact adoptions@hswestmi.org with any questions. Or better yet just go visit her at the Humane Society of West Michigan.

Cold Weather Safety

Winter in Michigan can be unpredictable, are you and your pets prepared for the snow, cold, and ice? Here are some tips from the ASPCA:

Remember, if it’s too cold for you, it’s probably too cold for your pet! Keep animals inside during winter weather.
Towel dry pets after a walk in the snow, and check paw pads for irritation or cracking. Look for ice between the toes, too!
Avoid shaving pets' fur in the winter, as their coats are what keep them warm.
Use a pet-safe ice melt when possible to avoid red, sore paws
