Some dogs need a special home to feel safe and that is the case with our pet-of-the-week, Kingsley. This gentle senior lost his home of eight years because of a divorce. He is waiting for his new family at the Humane Society of Huron Valley.

Change is difficult for pets but can be especially hard for a small 8-year-old Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix who does not understand why his life has been turned upside down. Kingsley will need a home with a patient person who can allow him to adjust and gain his confidence in his new environment. He is an affectionate dog once he gets to know you, and we’ve learned that he likes a quiet place to settle in.

Kingsley is house-trained and does know all of his basic manners and some very cute tricks as well. He should not go to a home with small children and would prefer to be your only lap dog please. If you have been looking for a loving companion to spend yours days and nights with, we do hope you will come to HSHV and meet Kingsley.

HSHV is open daily at 11 a.m. for adoptions. All pets available for adoption are spayed/neutered, up to date on their vaccinations, medically and behaviorally evaluated, and they have a microchip ID all included in their low adoption fee. Please make adoption your first option.
