My fur baby and I found each other one Saturday two years ago at HSHV, in the kitten room. As soon as I saw him climbing all over the other sleeping kittens, begging to be played with, I knew he was special. He’s playful and outgoing, but also cuddly and sweet. I never thought I could love a cat so much, but here I am, with him lying on my feet, totally smitten with my best buddy. Goldfish now Marshmallow

Our son is 1 year, 9 months old. We have two dogs (not including Grizzley) who are 10 and 11. Though we are blessed to have them in our son’s life, unfortunately they won’t be there when he is an older boy with a friend… So we decided to add on to our family. We saw Chidi (now Grizzley), and we could see the desperate love in his eyes. We knew he was the one. Especially with the fact that he is so young, he is perfect for our little man. He has become more than just our son’s friend.

First, the setup to put it in perspective. Our eldest daughter, single mother, was one of the early casualties of the recession in the mid 2000’s. She and our grandson, age 10, moved back in with us. We repeatedly heard “I want a puppy.” Our neighbor across the road bred Golden Retrievers. They had a litter. I kept telling our grandson that having a dog came with a lot of responsibility. Who would clean up after? Who would give him food and water? Who would teach him how to be a good housemate? To make a long story short, we

In November of 2017, my world was turned upside down. My sweet 6-month-old kitty, Gibson, was missing. My boyfriend and I spent hours every single day searching for our precious missing baby. I cried myself to sleep night after night, wondering where my girl was and why she hadn’t come back to me. In January of 2018, Gibson was still missing. My boyfriend got this idea of going to HSHV “just to look.” I was working until approximately 3 p.m. that day and had received a text from my boyfriend to meet him at HSHV. I told myself the whole

On March 17, 2018, my husband tricked me into visiting the Humane Society of Huron Valley. He lured me in by saying we would go, take a stroll through and purchase a toy for our dog at home. Upon taking our stroll, I laid eyes on Thunder Lizard, a 4-month-old Australian Shepard mix (we later determined that he is not an Australian Shepard but more of a Brittany Spaniel mix). I immediately fell in love (how could you not). My husband saw me losing my mind over this dog and suggested we meet with him. The picture shown is my
