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.
