Meet the HSHV Pet of the week at www.hshv.org/

Looking to add a little sparkle and sweetness to your home? Meet Apple, our Pet of the Week here at ann arbor's 107one from the Humane Society of Huron Valley!

Apple is a fun-loving young girl who is a massive hit with the shelter staff and volunteers. Her absolute favorite thing in the world? Wand toys! She has plenty of playful energy and loves to leap, chase, and show off her athletic skills. 🪄🐈‍⬛

While she is incredibly friendly and loves being around people, she prefers active playtime over heavy petting sessions right now. Because she likes having her boundaries respected while she settles in and burns off that youthful energy, she is looking for a home where she can be the only pet, and one without kids under five. Once she feels relaxed and secure in her new space, those future cuddles will be well worth the wait! 🥰

Could she be the apple of your eye? Stop by HSHV to meet this playful girl today! 🏡❤️

All HSHV residents are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.
