HAPPY FRIDAY ALL!!!  Yep your eyes ARE NOT playing tricks on you, that IS a rabbit featured above and NOT a CAT! This is Cody and it does my heart GOOD to share this special info for you from our furiends at Michigan Humane.

Many people don't realize that along with cats and dogs that are available for adoption, there are other pets that need furever homes too!!!! Whomever adopts them will have a wonderful new member of the family and MHS will throw in some extra goodies for their new companion!!

  1. I sorry to inform you that you are wrong. Hank IS for chasing. But the humans always spoil our fun and protect the little rodents from our "playful" grasp. Even worse, they let the little rodents roll around the house in the protective plastic ball. Those things are scary! Maybe rats and rabbits don't get exercise balls, but hamsters do and they are frightening. It's like Halloween every night around here!

    Hopefully Hank and all the other furries get good forever homes where they are loved (and not chased too much).

  21. That is an EXCELLENT thing to do for these cute little animals!! One of our local shelters also has small pets, like rabbits and hamsters for adoption, too. A lot of people tend to forget these little babies need homes, too. We hope that many animals get adopted into very loving, wonderful homes during November!!

  23. This is awesome :) The Humane Society in Rochester is a really nice facility. They helped me out several years back when the cat I had needed to be put down. I really like the TGIFFF idea.

  24. I'd like to adopt Hank please. Put him on ice and send him as quickly as possible.

    BTW, the story of my almost escape is on my blog if you didn't see it.

  25. OMC, I've never seen so many different animals in my life! I didn't know this kind of species even existed! I need to get out more, I only get to meet my staff and the fishes around here. I hope they find good homes though!
