Menominee Animal Shelter

9/21 - ADOPTED Say hello to Talulah and Elly May! Two sisters that ran away from a situation that we cannot fathom to understand, to find themselves at our door as strays back in APRIL. That’s 161 days in the shelter. These girls came to us with their white fur completely stained yellow from urine and a thick odor that took weeks of daily baths to alleviate. They were terrified of any human contact, leaving them cowering and flinching at any sudden movement. As you can imagine, this made it difficult for staff to catch them in their play yards when it was time to come inside. It’s been a long 161 days but the girls’ have truly made tremendous progress in this time. They bark and howl when they see their favorite volunteers, letting them know they are eager to go on their daily walk. They now approach staff in their play yard and flop over for belly rubs and pets. And they pounce with excitement every time they see a fellow canine playmate heading to their yard. We’ve tested them apart from each other and through observation we believe that they would be fine to be adopted out separately. We do think that they would thrive in a home with another dog or two though to continue to learn from and to build their confidence with. They will take some time to warm up to new people and they may never be “lap dogs”, but once they’re comfortable, they’ll show you their goofy, hound-dog personalities! All they are looking for right now is a patient and understanding home that can provide them with the safety and comfort that they so desperately need and deserve ❤️
