Pet of The Week - Gomez!
Meet Gomez! This bundle of energy came in with his brother and sister as transfers from another shelter. Unfortunately, all 3 siblings are still here and looking to find their forever home! Gomez is a very sweet but shy boy and takes some time trusting new people and situations. As with all puppies, Gomez does have lots of energy and will need to learn basic manners as well as house breaking. This guy is an Australian Shepard/Pit mix so he will grow up to be around 40 pounds by our estimate. Please keep in mind that all puppies adopted from us under 9 months will be required to take puppy training classes. Come meet this sweet boy and you will be sure to fall in love!

Petoskey, MI — Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwestern Michigan (Bigs) is thrilled to welcome Jennifer Krarup to our team in Charlevoix and Emmet County. Jennifer will work in our Petoskey office filling a newly created position, Advocacy Specialist, and we ask that you please welcome her as she reaches out to the community to engage and share the wonderful impact Bigs’ mission is having on children in Emmet and Charlevoix Counties.
While Jennifer will be eagerly connecting with the community members, leaders and organizations, she is going to be working hard to generate awareness and revenue in both counties, to support more children with caring, adult mentors.
“We are elated to have Jennifer join our team. She brings a wealth of experience and is exactly what our agency needs at this time as we look to increase our presence in Emmet and Charlevoix Counties”, said Bigs’ CEO, Cecilia Chesney. “This is only possible through the generous support and understanding of our community”, she said.
Jennifer is a long-time resident of northern Michigan and joins the team with over 20 years of customer service and sales experience, and as owner of a local events coordination business. While new to Bigs’ Mission, Jennifer and her family were involved with the Northern Michigan Foster Care system for over six years, opening their hearts and their homes as a foster family to 18 children and adoptive family to two beautiful girls.
“I have searched for a new way to positively impact the lives of youth in our great community and was inspired by the Bigs’ Mission. I am truly grateful to be a part of the Bigs’ team and excited to continue helping our youth,” said Jennifer Krarup.
