Industry First Remote Tailgate Release: 2018 F-150 At Brighton Ford

Did you know that you can open the tailgate on your 2018 Ford F-150 with the click of a button?  The 2018 Ford F-150 has an available remote tailgate release option on some models.  This is the industry-first remote tailgate release and it’s awesome!  If your hands are full and you need to load items in your truck bed, this option is undoubtedly amazing and practical.  Simply click the tailgate release button twice on your key fob and your tailgate will automatically open.  It’s that simple!!!

The available remote tailgate release lets you lock or unlock the tailgate with the key fob or the inside door switch. Release the tailgate with the key fob, too. It’s among the features that redefine the work space of the F-150 pickup bed, such as the integrated tailgate step with lift assist and deployable box steps.

The remote tailgate release is available on these 2018 F-150 models: F-150 Platinum, F-150 Limited & F-150 Lariat

As an added bonus, you can lock and unlock the tailgate via your key fob as well.  When you click lock on your key fob, your doors aren’t the only things that lock up, your tailgate does too.  This is true for unlocking it as well!

We are considered seniors as we are both 8 years old.

Did we mention that we are BIOLOGICAL brothers? We prefer to be the only cats and would do best without other animals. We are both very loving and sweet boys.  Batman is an 8 year old male who is black and white and Cinder is an 8 year old male who is grey and white.

Adopt Boots & Morris To Make Your Valentine’s Day Complete

Boots and Morris - Bonded Brothers

We are a BONDED PAIR of front declawed, 8 year old BROTHERS ready to find a home together! We are enjoying time in a foster home. Make an appointment to meet us!

We are Boots and Morris, a bonded pair of sweet, 8 year old brothers who are affectionately known as “Boo and Mo” by our foster family. We were born 9/15/2009 and lived together in a very loving home since we were kittens until sadly, our owner developed health issues and could no longer care for us. Losing the only home we ever knew and coming to the shelter was very traumatizing for us, so thankfully, we are now staying in a GREAT foster home where we are relaxed, happy, and ready to find our new FOREVER home!

We are used to a quiet, indoor only, adult home, so that would be best for us again. We would be WONDERFUL companions for anyone living alone and would also have each other for companionship if left alone for a short time. We have been ok around some small dogs and other cats, but have never been around children so please keep that in mind.

Here is what our foster parents have to say about us…
Boots is an adventurous boy who likes to explore, look out the window, and climb the cat tower.  He LOVES to be petted and brushed and is a big PURR box! Morris was a bit shy at first, but LOVES to snuggle on your lap and is becoming more confident now to explore and play.  They are both VERY affectionate, enjoy a little catnip on occasion, and have excellent litter box habits. They are WONDERFUL, LOVING cats who have adjusted quickly to our home and find comfort in being together!

Boots – Male, short hair, Black & White, front declawed
Morris – Male, short hair, Orange & White, front declawed

Colonel Is Still Looking For His Forever Home!

Colonel, the Brighton Ford Pet Of The Week back in December, came to the Humane Society of Livingston County grossly obese and is on an extreme makeover diet!  He is still looking for his forever home!  He was the Companion Animal for an elderly man who passed away and Colonel's desperately looking for someone to connect with and serve in that way once again.  He is a black and white Cattle dog mix that is 7 years old. He needs someone who would commit to a disciplined exercise program with great nutrition.  He's anxious at the shelter because it's overwhelming for him there, so make your home Colonel's forever home.  He would probably be best as an only child where someone could focus their attention solely on him.  Colonel loves going for long walks and spending time outside, he would be a great family dog with someone who is able to give him a safe wonderful haven for the rest of his life.  Call the Humane Society of Livingston County to schedule some time with Colonel at 517-552-8050.

Scout, The Brighton Ford Pet Of The Week, Needs A Home!

I'm a very handsome, 4 year old, sweet and sassy king! 

Hello there! I’m Scout, a very sweet, 4 year old black and white, long hair, (neutered), male. I do have a few rules on how I like to be handled and prefer to be petted when I ask, but once we get to know each other, you’ll find how great I am! I am front declawed and most definitely the king of all felines, therefore I would be happiest as an only pet so I can focus on ruling my kingdom. The staff here at the Humane Society of Livingston County say I can be a darling if you have patience to start out slow and form a lifelong friendship with me!   

Scout can be seen posing for pictures in local neighborhoods, as he wants to appeal to all that are looking to adopt a loving cat!  Call the Humane Society of Livingston County to schedule a time to meet Scout to find out if he’s the perfect pet for you: (517) 552-8050

Meet Athena, The Sweet Dilute Calico Just Waiting To Be Adopted

Hello, I’m Athena, a GORGEOUS, VERY SWEET, 7 year old (spayed) female Dilute Calico. I was transferred from another shelter to the Humane Society of Livingston County where, thankfully, I have received proper medical care to manage my diabetic condition. I’m feeling GREAT now and ready to find my new forever home! I’m a VERY SWEET and GENTLE soul looking for a home where I can relax, enjoy nature watching from the window, and be part of your family’s daily routine. I’m a VERY friendly girl who LOVES to snuggle and will quickly charm my way into your heart with my alluring green eyes and sweet ways. I would do best in a relaxed home where I can receive lots of your attention and may be ok living with a nice dog or cat who respects my space.

Special needs: Athena’s diabetic condition will likely require insulin injections twice daily which she tolerates well. With good care, she can live a healthy, happy life. Our medical team will provide details to interested adopters. 

Athena’s Foster Mom wants you to know what a sweet, good girl she is and how easy it is to care for her diabetic condition…

A Day in the Life of Athena

7:00 am   Athena gets her morning insulin shot. She walks right up to me to cuddle and say hi, takes her shot without a flinch, and continues to eat breakfast.

9:00 am   Athena rubs her head against my mother’s hand while she sleeps for some morning lovins then may nap on the window sill after watching the birds

12:00 pm   Athena may bat a feather toy a little and use her scratching post. She is very good about not scratching furniture. In the rare case she tries, all we need to do is gently push her down and she stops instantly.

1:00 pm   Athena sits on the couch and softly cries for attention. We come to see what is wrong. She just wants us to pick her up and take her into the room where everybody else is! She LOVES attention and to be held!

3:00 pm   A visitor comes by the house. Athena greets them. We have not seen a stranger that she didn’t charm right away! She loves everyone!

5:00 pm   We make dinner for ourselves. Athena is on sight to taste test for us! After a while, she goes back in her room because she is tired of the dogs. She does not particularly like them, but she copes well. We keep her separate from our other cat for now, but in time, they may get along.

7:00 pm   Time for Athena’s evening insulin shot. Again, she is an angel throughout the very quick and easy process. Just a little poke and off she goes! I fill up her food and water again and clean out her litter box.

8:00 pm   Athena sits quietly next to us as we watch TV together as a family. She is a very happy, sweet girl who is easy to please!

9:00 pm   Time for bed. Athena gets some treats as we tuck in. She loves her treats!
