About
Cricket's story is one that breaks your heart—but we're hoping it ends with the happy ending she deserves.This tiny 5-year-old girl weighs just 6 pounds and was found wandering the streets alone, frightened, neglected, and covered in painful mats. She was brought to animal control, where she waited and hoped that someone would come looking for her. Sadly, no one ever did.Despite everything she's been through, Cricket has remained incredibly sweet and loving. After receiving a much-needed bath, grooming, veterinary care, and becoming up to date on all of her vaccinations, her true personality has begun to shine. She is a gentle, affectionate little companion who simply wants to be close to her people. Whether you're relaxing on the couch or moving about the house, Cricket is happiest when she's by your side.Cricket has met other small dogs and has done very well with them. We believe she may also do fine with cats, provided slow and proper introductions are made. Because of her tiny size and gentle nature, any children in the home should be over the age of five and respectful of small dogs.Cricket has known what it feels like to be forgotten. Now she's looking for someone who will show her what it means to be cherished. Could you be the person who gives this little girl the love, safety, and forever home she's been waiting for?If you're looking for a devoted companion with a heart full of love, Cricket is ready to meet you. If you are interested in meeting Cricket or another homeless pet at Macomb County Animal Control, they are open M-F from 10am-4pm. Adoption fee: $300
