Animals Welcome Local Children on the Autism Spectrum
Ann Arbor, MI (October 26, 2021) — Story Time at the Humane Society of Huron Valley (HSHV) just got warmer and fuzzier. “We’ve offered our Little Paws Story Time for several years, but we know some children struggle with sitting still for longer stories, or feel overwhelmed by bright lights or crowded spaces,” says Jessie Hitt, HSHV’s Humane Education Manager. “So we’ve started ‘Sensory Story Time’ to offer a welcoming space for neurodivergent and autistic children and their families.” Sensory Story Time recently launched on select Tuesday mornings at HSHV. It includes stories, fingerplays, and personal interactions with the adoptable

Little Fritzy. Such a sweet boy!
I’ve been an HSHV dog walker and saw Fritzy the first day he came into Intake as a stray. We bonded immediately. He loves us very much and the feeling is mutual. We had a great trip to Acadia National Park in August. On the way home in Massachusetts, our car hit a bear. Luckily, he was in a kennel fastened into the back seat. We were all ok, except the car. Please keep your animals restrained in the car. I know it’s easier not to, but you never know what can happen! Fritz now Fritzy

Rose finds the perfect dog mamma
I’ve always wanted two dogs in my family. I just happened to be browsing through HSHV’s website when I came across Rose (Siberian Husky). I quickly gathered my kids and our other dog to meet Rose. The connection was instant and the two dogs got along well, and then the first six months were quite difficult. Rose was diagnosed with anxiety and depression. With lots of care, love and training, Rose is fitting in with our family. Rose has been with our family for 1 year now and she loves camping, doggie day care, jogging with mamma and big sis

Letty finds a home
In March 2020, as I was packing my office equipment to take home because of the lockdown, a coworker told me that I should look into adopting a dog “as a companion for the end of the world, like in that Will Smith movie.” He mentioned that HSHV is just a few miles away from our office. So, I checked the website every few days until I saw Letty’s profile. I saw that Letty was hyperactive and reactive towards other dogs, and could use some training in the future. Drawn to the underdog, I decided to adopt her. She was
