This month’s adorable adoption candidate is Radley. He is about 15 months old, and while there isn’t much background information available, volunteers do know he came from another shelter that rescued him from a hoarding situation.
Radley is making great progress—he’s doing better on a leash, though he is still a bit timid. With the right family, he’ll continue to blossom into a confident and loving companion.
At the Humane Society of Genesee County (HSGC), animal adoption is at the heart of everything they do. Their goal is to connect people and animals so they can share their lives together.

Open your heart and home to one of the many dogs and cats at HSGC. New four-legged friends arrive daily, and the shelter’s caring staff and volunteers provide excellent care until each animal finds their forever home. Please note that animal availability changes frequently, so check back often for the latest updates.
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.
