Adoptable pets<br />

The following pets are up for adoption at<br />

the Humane Society of <strong>Madison</strong> County,<br />

<strong>2020</strong> Plain City Georgesville Rd., West Jefferson.<br />

Call (614) 879-8368. Shelter hours<br />

are: Saturday and Sunday, 12-5 p.m.; Monday,<br />

closed; Tuesday-Friday, 1-7 p.m.<br />

Grinch arrived at<br />

the shelter just a<br />

few days before<br />

Christmas in 2019.<br />

The person who<br />

brought him in said<br />

he had been dumped<br />

on his property.<br />

Grinch's estimated<br />

birth date is June<br />

2018, but he has the<br />

spunk of a kitten. He loves attention, rolls<br />

around and plays, and has started to enjoy<br />

playing with kittens at the shelter. When he<br />

is in his kennel, he rolls over on his back and<br />

paws at you through the kennel for love and<br />

attention. He is a very loving guy who will<br />

make a wonderful companion in your home.<br />

Terrance is a favorite to everyone who<br />

meets him. When he sees you, he hops and<br />

dances with delight, ready for anything, including<br />

walks. He<br />

stands out in a<br />

crowd due to his<br />

ears, crooked smile<br />

and Mickey Mouse<br />

marking on his side.<br />

He is a pitbull mix,<br />

6 or 7 years old, and<br />

68 pounds. He is<br />

easy to handle because<br />

he moseys<br />

along wherever he is led. He could care less<br />

if you pet or hug him, as long as it is some<br />

kind of attention. He is sweet but would do<br />

best alone with a family of adults. Kiddos<br />

and other pooches make him nervous. This<br />

means his love will be bountiful for the people<br />

who choose to make them their own.<br />

Terrance was at the shelter from August<br />

2017 until he was adopted in <strong>February</strong><br />

2018. Unfortunately, he returned to the<br />

shelter in September 2019 because his<br />

adoptive family could no longer care for him.<br />

It was no fault of his own, just unfortunate<br />

circumstances. The shelter hopes to find<br />

him his forever home soon so he can enjoy<br />

family life again.
