Nacho, Nacho Mannnnn is a tan and white colored cattle dog mix with a very fun and playful side who can be a bit rambunctious. When he gets outside, he loves to show off his zoomy side in the play yard. Nacho is a big goofball to say the least. He is roughly 2 years old, up to date on his vaccinations and neutered. He came to us earlier in the summer and has been a joy to have, but it's time for him to find a home with a family or even a single human to call his own. He loves his toys and people, but he is not a Velcro dog. He will lean against you while you pet him, but he doesn't overwhelm you by looking for attention. Nacho is a bit shy when it comes to meeting other dogs 'in person', but through the kennel he is quite playful with his neighbors. He has had a variety of neighbors and, so far, hasn't had a poor reaction to any of them. Nacho does need some proper guidance with manners, but overall is very well behaved and potty trained. He just has an excellent, friendly personality. He knows 'sit' and does fairly well on a leash, but he could really benefit from someone willing to teach him more and give him a 'job' since his breed is a working breed. Sadly, he isn't a great choice for families with small children because he hasn't had much experience with them. Meaning that his rambunctious side is a bit too much for them and being mouthy sometimes when he plays. This is part of the breed and their natural instinct to herd which can be redirected with proper, consistent training. We would love to invite people to come and meet Nacho so that they can see for themselves just how awesome this guy is. If you have had experience with cattle dogs previously, then you know how important training is with this breed and how wonderful they can be. Please contact Van Buren County Animal Control at 269-621-4624 or visit the shelter at 58040 County Road 681, Hartford, MI 49057 to learn more about the smart and handsome Nacho.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Meet Balto!! Balto is an Alaskan Malamute who is around 2 years old. He loves to run and play whenever he can. When he first came to us, he was a hot mess! Standoffish and did not want to socialize, and had mats and burrs covering his body. As soon as he got comfortable and clean, he couldn't get enough of the love! Balto is so cuddly and fluffy, he just lures you in with his charm. He will make a great protector of the home because he knows who’s giving him the love and affection that he craves. Balto is not neutered but is currently up to date with his vaccinations. If you’re interested in welcoming Balto into your home, his adoption fee is $65.00. Please call or visit Cass County Animal Control (323 M-62 North, Cassopolis, MI 49031; Phone 269-445-3701) to learn more about handsome Balto.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
