The Humane Society of Genesee County’s January pet up for adoption is Abel.
Meet Abel. He is a 1-year-old pit mix that has been with the Humane Society of Genesee County since September. He is a staff and volunteer favorite. He is super sweet, has some energy and likes to play in the snow. He isn’t house trained yet, but with guidance and patience he will catch on quick! His adoption fee is $125.
By adopting from HSGC, you’re not only gaining a loving pet, but also supporting a local shelter that receives no federal or state funding. Every dog and cat adopted from HSGC has been spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and tested for heartworm (dogs) and feline leukemia (cats).
Tips for a Successful Adoption
Before, during, and after adopting, consider the following:
- Research the breed or animal type beforehand.
- Involve your entire family in the decision-making process, if possible.
- Make several visits to get to know your potential new pet.
- Have essential supplies ready: crate, food, toys, bedding, etc.
- Ensure your current pets are up to date on vaccinations and heartworm prevention.
- Schedule a “Meet and Greet” for your resident dog and the one you’re considering.
- Set aside at least 45 minutes for the adoption process — it’s not a decision to rush.
- You must be at least 18 years old to adopt.
- Bring your driver’s license/ID and proof of home ownership or rental agreement.
- Adoption fees apply. Payment methods accepted: cash, Discover, Visa, and Mastercard.
