News/Talk/Sports 94.9 WSJM

We've got a sweetheart named Nike here, a 6-year-old, mellow buddy with a beautiful fawn-colored coat. He's a total lovebug, just wants to be near you, and loves a good tug-o-war or just having a toy in his mouth! Now, Nike's got heartworm, but don't let that scare you! Friends of BCAS are covering his treatment. He's a "Velcro dog," meaning he's all about affection, not just playtime. He's a volunteer favorite, but he's having a hard time living at the shelter, and frankly, we're worried about him. He's good with other dogs, but we're just not sure about cats. If you're looking for a gentle companion, come meet Nike! He's waiting for you at Berrien County Animal Services at 1400 South Euclid Avenue, Benton Harbor, MI 49022. No appointment necessary to come meet him. His adoption fee, like several of our longer term dogs, is sponsored.
