GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — This week’s featured adoptable pets from the Kent County Animal Shelter are a happy puppy and a cute shar-pei.

Barb is a 1-year-old shar-pei mix who came to the shelter as a stray. She has the wrinkly face characteristic of her breed. She’s medium energy, the shelter says: She likes going on walks and then snuggling on the couch. She does well in the car. In the News 8 studio Friday, she was calm and well-behaved but curious about all the new things to see.

Harriet is an 8-month-old American Staffordshire terrier mix. She’s happy-go-lucky and loves people, the shelter says. She also gets along well with other dogs. She’s still learning commands but she seems eager to learn.
