Notes from Emmet County Animal Shelter
***The first step in the adoption process is to complete the application at www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org***
Meet Mario! This timid little sweet heart is looking for a new forever females only home after he was pulled from a bad situation. Mario is very fearful of men but warms up quickly to women. He is gentle, quiet and delightful. He is looking for a safe place to land where his human will make certain that no bad things happen to him. He is very comfortable with cats and wouldn't mind at all going to a home with dog friendly felines. He hasn't had much exposure to dogs but isn't opposed to them either. Mario does well in a car, takes a bath nicely and is house trained. He is neutered, up to date on vaccinations and is microchipped. He is 5 years old, he does have a grade 3 heart murmur which the vet says doesn't require anythign at this time and his adoption fee is $275.00
