In this episode we welcomed Angela Hollinshead, Director of the Kent County Animal Shelter.
Angela spoke with us about a big celebration for the Kent County Animal Shelter happening on October 16.
The shelter will be celebrating their 85th Anniversary that afternoon with a Fall Celebration event open to the public. Guests will enjoy seasonal treats like cider and donuts, plus kids’ activities. There are also special anniversary rates for adopting pets for a limited time.
The Kent County Animal Shelter was established in 1940, when the City of Grand Rapids officially handed over shelter operations to Kent County, officially establishing The Animal Shelter as a county department. 10 years later, the first dedicated facility was constructed which continued to expand through building additions until 2009, when it was replaced with the modern 26,000-square-foot shelter in use today.

This is iHeartRadio's West Michigan Weekend. West Michigan Weekend is
a weekly program designed to inform and enlighten on a
wide range of public policy issues, as well as news
and current events. Now here's your host, Phil Tower.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
And thank you once again for tuning in. It's West
Michigan Weekend from iHeartRadio. I'm Phil Tower. It's always a
pleasure to talk animals on this program, and we've got
some big news here in Kent County. The Kent County
Animal Shelter is celebrating eighty five years. They're throwing a
party and best of all, you are invited. They're all
(00:38):
kinds of great opportunities and if you are special attention please.
If you are a family looking for a new family member,
a furry family member, a dog or a cat, you'll
want to pay attention because there's some special things going
on to the Kent County Animal Shelter. That's why we
have checked in once again welcoming Angela Hollins, head director
(01:02):
with the Kent County Animal Shelter, to talk about a
lot of important things, including eighty five years. Happy eighty
five years, Angela.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Thank you, Phil. We have a lot of really fun
things going on right now, and we have we have
some grand ideas for some really interesting things that families
can do to celebrate with us, and we are really
excited to share our upcoming events.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
You know, I didn't realize this. You've got a little
blurb in the news release that I received a few
days ago. In nineteen forty, the city of Grand Rapids,
which was running animal I guess you would called earliest
days of animal shelter operations, they turned everything over to
Kent County. That's when you were first established. The animal
(01:45):
shelter was established as a department with Kent County. Ten
years later you built your first dedicated facility, and now
here you are eighty five years later. You just recently,
was it a little over a year ago? You started
expansion on your new home. Is that right?
Speaker 3 (02:01):
So we had a renovation which was really fantastic and
it updated a lot of our spaces. We are in
a building that is almost twenty years old now, so
it was time for renovation, okay. And animal welfare has
changed a lot in the last twenty years, so even
how we house our animals has changed. So we had
a nice space upgrade and we're really enjoying just the
(02:23):
fresh new area that we have to take care of
our animals in.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
All Right, first things first, So I want to talk
about the party, the eighty fifth anniversary Fall Celebration. It's
October sixteen, three point thirty to six thirty pm the
whole anybody listening to this radio broadcast, especially if you
live in Kent County, you are more than welcome to attend.
There will be seasonal treats, cider and donuts, a lot
of kids activities, and you have a chance to have
(02:50):
your photo taken with the Kent County and Animal Shelters
new mascot, which actually needs a name. So your communications
team had a little funny they said, Hey, Angela, we
need a mascot. This place will be complete with a mascot.
So the public is invited to help name your mascot.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Yeah, so our mascot's going to need a name. And
we really think that the community is full of really
great ideas and we would love to help them. Help
us give this happy fuzzy fella a name or a
fuzzy lady. We haven't really determined I f's a male
or female dog yet.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, that's okay, and how do they best do that?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
So, if they go to our Facebook page, or if
they go to our website which is accesscent dot com
forwards less cacas, all of our information is on there,
and there's also a link to be able to cast
your vote for the top ten names and help us,
help us name our.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
New mascot, and then that will be now sometime in
the future. One of the most important things I want
to focus on in our conversation, Angela, is how the
adoption process works right now for your eighty fifth anniversary
Fall celebrate. You are in the midst as we're having
this conversation on the radio on Sunday, October twelfth. You're
(04:05):
in the midst of the last few days of an
animal shelter Empty the Shelter promotion with the good folks
at the Bisso Pet Foundation. But you've got a special
adoption fee going on right now. Can you tell our
listeners about that, Angela?
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Yeah, So thank you to BISSIL and their Empty the
Shelters program and their sponsorship. Right now, all of our
dog adoptions are just seventy dollars, and the animals that
are adoptable are beta neuters. They're microchips, they've been examined
by our amazing shelter vet team, they've had flee and
kick preventative. They are ready to go. And we have
dozens of wonderful animals right now that are waiting for home.
(04:42):
They're waiting to meet you. And the empty the shelters
runs through October fifteenth, So the sixteenth, when we have
our celebration, we're going to continue reduced adoption fees eighty
five dollars to help celebrate our eighty fifth anniversary.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
That's a great deal, Angela. I think a lot of
people listening have not perhaps gone through this process before.
Just curious if we could take a couple of moments
to walk through the adoption process. A prospective pet parent
or parents and their kids walk into your facility at
the Kent County Animal Shelter. Maybe they see an animal online.
(05:22):
And by the way, you can go to access Kent
dot Com forward slash KCAS. That's access Kent dot Com
forward slash KCAS to see adoptable animals online. But let's
take a moment and walk through that process. You're in
the shelter, you say, hey, we want to see this
dog named Fred. He looks pretty awesome. Tell us about Fred,
(05:46):
you go see the dog. What happens next? Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
So, one of the most disheartening things that we hear
as shelter employees and shelter workers and leadership is that
pet adoption is hard. It's hard to adopt a pettison basis,
it's like adopting a child. At Ken County Animal Shelter,
we don't go that way. We really embrace adoptters welcome
and when somebody have made the choice that they are
ready to bring a new pet into their home, we
want to help in any way that we can to
(06:11):
find them a good match. So when you come to
the shelter to see us, you're ready to find your
furry best friends. We make it more of a match
game than we do an interview process. So we really
will take some basic information from you, and it's not
to approve or deny an adopt it's really just to
kind of figure out what is your life like, what
kind of dog would sit well in your home? And
(06:33):
what are you looking for? Do you want something that's
really excitable, do you want something that's more of a
touch potato. Do you have a particular breed that you've
always love that we can help maybe find and then
it really is a conversation, and we will take you
back into one of our get acquainted rooms and you
can have one on one interaction with the pets that
you're considering adopting. It's very quiet, it's very personal. You
(06:55):
can to spend time with them, and it really is
a good way to just calmly meet everybody and make
a good decision. And if you don't find one today
or that day you're here, keep checking with us because
they do change. We get a a lot of different
breeds of animals, and we really just want to help
find you a good match.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah. Well, and it really is something that takes some
time to see if there's a bond, to see, you know,
kind of get the vibe in the room for both
the prospective adopted parents and the pet, and just some observation,
answering questions. I'm glad you mentioned that. So if you
(07:36):
decide it's a fit and your team says yes, this
looks good, you answer some questions, then what happens next.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
So at that point we finalize your adoption. So we
have about a ten to fifteen minute paperwork process and
we go over all the animals and medical history. If
the animals and any medications, we go over those with
you and make sure those go home, and then essentially
you go out the door your new best friend the
same day.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Wow, that's really great, and they're all set to go.
They've been micro chipped, spader neutered, and other than that,
you kind of got your walker walking papers in terms
of here's what this pet needs. You know, every pet
is different. I'm looking at one of the pets on
the Animal Shelter website, which by the way, may not
(08:22):
be there by the time you're hearing this conversation on
the radio, but I'm looking at Mini Me, who looks
just adorable. But you know Mini Me. It's is described
as a dog that likes quiet environments, really good with seniors,
and every dog has its own personality. Angela. I just
love that every human has its own different, unique personality
(08:45):
and sometimes you get a match there and it can
be a really truly amazing, special thing that probably never
gets old for you to see that happen.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
It doesn't. We celebrate those winds every day, and you know,
we see some heartbreaks in cases, and you know, animals
that arrive on our doorstep that are gravely injured, and
you know, for animal lovers who work here, and all
of our staff at the Kent County Animal Shelter are
very compassionate and they love animals and they devote their
careers to taking care of them, so they see some
(09:16):
sad things. But what we focus on is our wins.
When we see dogs like Mini Me who may be
a little more shy but is doing really well in
her foster home. When we find that match that understands
that she's an individual dog and she has individual behavior needs,
and we get those updates, you know, three six months
down the road, it's just a wonderful thing, and we
(09:38):
hang onto those and we celebrate them. Everybody deserves a
pat in their life, and the companionship that we get
from our animals, it's a bond and we're really thankful
to be able to provide those matches to people.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Angela hollins Head is whether she's the director the Kent
County Animal Shelter Online, it's access Kent dot Com forward
slash kc as access to Kent dot Com forward slash
k c as. It takes a village to successfully run
an animal shelter not only Kent County, but a lot
(10:11):
of you and our listening audience you will find on
the Animal Shelters website and opportunity to donate. There's an
Amazon wishless there. But if you just want to make
a financial donation, I'm sure, Angela, there are so many
extras that wouldn't normally be covered in your budget that
people can make sure that your animals waiting for adoption
(10:35):
have dog toys, you know, all kinds of things that
make life not only life around the shelter for the pet,
but for those who are caregivers, the foster home caregivers.
It's really an important thing that people consider the full picture, there,
isn't it.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Yeah, And we have between seventy and ninety dogs in
our care really at any given day, and we use
a lot of enrichment items to help keep them happy
and comfortable. Their well being and quality of life is
really important to us here at the shelter, and we
utilize all sorts of different tools for that, whether it's
you know, pieces that we make out of peanut butter
(11:12):
and shreaded cheese, or if it's popsicles or toys that
we make by hand. From things that we have around,
so you know, those donations help cover all of those
extra extra things that we do to provide our dogs
the best of care, and they also help cover medical care.
So we have an amazing shelter veterinarian here at the
Kent County Animal Shelter, Doctor Davison is wonderful and occasionally
(11:35):
we run into cases where an animal will need specialty
medical care, things like cruciate ligament repair. That's a very
it's a very extensive specialty surgery. So we use our
partner veterinarians, our eighth Blue Pearls, different veterinary clinics throughout
the community to help us with those extra surgeries, and
they are great partners and they give us amazing discounts
(11:58):
because we're the shelter, but there's always a fee that
comes to that. We don't expect these things for free,
so a lot of those donations will go into our
emergency medical funds and help us pay for surgeries that
are truly life saving, like this animal is here with
us today because we have the ability to provide the
surgery to it. And it's again knowing that the community
(12:19):
cares and supports us, and that is really just very heartwarming.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
You can donate anytime on the website access Kent dot com,
Ford slash KCAS loots of information there. You guys have
a terrific website again Exiscent dot com Ford slash KCAS.

three point thirty to six thirty pm, and you are

You're going to announce the name of your new mascot
on Thursday, and that's very exciting as well. Real quickly,

Speaker 3 (13:01):
So we are at seven forty Fuller Avenue, northeast Grantrafis
and we are just north of one ninety six off
of Fuller Avenue, and we are kind of nestled between
the Kent County Sheriff's Department and the Kent County Health Department.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Okay, sore anything I didn't ask you wanted to share

useful spaces. We would love to see your smiling face.
We would love to share our Donuts insider with you.
And you know, if if you happen to meet a
dog or a cat that you fall in love with,
we'd be happy to facilitate an adoption.
