We’re convinced T-Bone invented “puppy dog eyes.” 🥹 With one look, he’ll convince you to give him all your treats.

This senior lab is looking for a home where he can nap on the sofa and—most importantly—spend quality time with his people. Visit Kent County Animal Shelter to meet T-Bone! Learn more: https://new.shelterluv.com/embed/animal/KCAS-A-74579

🐾 WHO REALLY WANTS A PUPPY… when you could have Tiberius?! 🐾

This 6-year-old, ~65 lb PERFECT BOY comes with some serious perks:

✨ Keeps his kennel clean
✨ Past the puppy chaos
✨ Handsome as heck
✨ Ready to get the HECK outta here 😂

Tiberius is definitely strong on walks, but can you blame him?! I really think this guy is just SO ready to get out of the shelter and go somewhere fun. 🥹

Skip the puppy stage and adopt yourself a grown-up good boy instead. 💙

📍 Available for adoption at the Kent County Animal Shelter

Come meet Tiberius and bust him outta here! 🐾🏡

PLEASE SHARE! His person might be on your friends list. ❤️

Imagine being a young pup in a shelter. Strange smells. Loud noises. Unfamiliar walls. And only a few moments of one-on-one attention each day.

It can be a lot to take in.

We imagine that's what Ziti, Jeebus, Chop, Pistachio, Fig, and Stubby may be feeling right now. But underneath the uncertainty, we're already seeing glimpses of the wonderful dogs they're becoming. ❤️

They don't need someone to expect them to have it all figured out. They need someone willing to give them guidance, safety, patience, and love.

In return? You'll get a loyal companion who knows exactly who gave them their second chance.

Tomorrow is Saturday—and it's a perfect day to come meet the dogs at Kent County Animal Shelter. Bring your family, spend some time getting to know the dogs, and see who might be the right fit for your home.

Ziti. Jeebus. Chop. Pistachio. Fig. Stubby. They’re waiting to meet you. 🐾

Please come visit—and share this post so these young pups have the best chance of finding their people.

Hoagie loves to play—but what he really wants is someone to play with. 💙

Barney is a great dog.

We know—we volunteers say that a lot. ☺️ But you’re going to have to trust us on this one: Barney is worth meeting.

Just a little over 1 year old, Barney:
🐾 keeps his kennel clean
🐾 is easy to walk
🐾 loves to play
🐾 is affectionate without needing to be attached to you 24/7

Really…we don’t know why he’s still here.

Come meet Barney. Spend a little time with him. Let him relax and show you who he is—and eventually, you’ll get that grin. 🥹

And trust us: that grin is worth the trip.

Barney is available for adoption at Kent County Animal Shelter. If you’re looking for a young dog with a great mix of playful and affectionate, go meet this guy. ❤️

Meet Chop. ❤️

At just 1 year old, this sweet, goofy boy is READY TO PLAY—and he has the facial expressions to prove it. 😂

Chop is a boy of many moods: playful, curious, happy… and occasionally serving up some serious side-eye. 😏 But mostly, he’s a young dog who just wants someone to give him a chance.

When we spend time with him, Chop is responsive to treats and eager to engage when we find ways to play with him. He also keeps his kennel clean. There’s a lot of potential in this handsome boy, and we’d love to see him get the chance to show someone what a great companion he can be.

What Chop needs now is a stable family and a home of his own.

Please share Chop. ❤️ And if you’re looking for a young, playful dog, please consider meeting him. He just needs someone to see him—and give him that chance.

🐾 Chop is available for adoption at Kent County Animal Shelter.

Loving (and living with) Lucy is so easy. 💖

She’s a breeze to walk, calmly exploring and following all the interesting neighborhood smells. She’s affectionate, but not clingy. She’ll entertain herself or settle in for a nap while her humans are busy. (Bonus: her dream-twitches are exceptionally cute. 🥰)

Lucy has so much love to give and deserves a forever family of her own!

Since Lucy is in a foster home, call Kent County Animal Shelter at 616-632-7300 to set up a time to meet her.
