Chikoo

February 10, 2026 | Comments Off on Chikoo

Chikoo has a legacy which comes from 18 other breeds: we checked. He is a precocious, sensitive, deeply opinionated vocal artist, who became a part of our family after disembarking the Love Train on February 28, 2025. His sassy paw wags, rotating tail spins, and microscopic scrutinization of all berries fed to him, RESCUED US from a dark haze that had settled on us over losing our darling Scamper in the winter of 2024. Chikoo takes his home safekeeping duties extremely seriously while never forgetting to take nuggly naps throughout the day. Having experienced severe trauma at a very young

Beau Beau!

Beau Beau!

February 10, 2026 | Comments Off on Beau Beau!

Loved introducing Beau Beau to our existing fur family of two cats! The female cat is a bit antisocial so she doesn’t give Beau much attention, but the male cat and Beau hit it off, thankfully! They play, wrestle, groom each other. It’s really sweet to watch! Beau is so cute and he shows us his affection by attempting to trip us when we walk so we can bend down and rub his head, neck, and tummy lolll!

my daughter’s favorite being in the world

my daughter’s favorite being in the world

February 4, 2026 | Comments Off on my daughter’s favorite being in the world

We were crushed. Our puppy gave our old dog two playful years more than we ever expected, yet she was 16 years old and the day came when she died. We agreed to grieve before adopting another dog, yet our puppy Peanut had other plans. We had been a two dog family and he moped around our home for weeks. One day the kids asked to visit the humane society, the same place where we had adopted Peanut (Bronco) two years earlier. We said we were going to just look. The Love Train would be coming in a week or

My first time adopting

My first time adopting

February 4, 2026 | Comments Off on My first time adopting

Back in 2019, I adopted my cat from the Humane Society of Huron Valley. I specifically wanted her, and was happy to know she was still available. When we first met, she swatted at me and was not in the best mood. I was worried she was not going to like me. She had previously been surrendered by another family who likely felt the same. But as weeks passed, she slowly started opening up to me, and we became best of friends. She still has some attitude in her, but she loves traveling, Squeezables, and snuggling up next to me.

Me and my mom went to just go look at the puppies not knowing we’d bring anybody home. After looking at the puppies I begged her to go see the older dogs. We fell in love with how sweet this girl was. We took her home and she fit right in. Rarity now Nova

The best boy

February 4, 2026 | Comments Off on The best boy

We adopted Chase 3 years ago. He was a single ferret someone unfortunately had to surrender. He was so cute. The staff explained that he was a bit shy and not big on lifting his body to play. With his age we figured it was just going to be how he was. When we got him home he was a completely different ferret. He was so playful and just a joy. Always getting excited for us to come home and be out to cuddle and give kisses. Eventually we adopted another ferret from another shelter so he had company and

We do not have any history on her with cats, so she will need a slow introduction and ability to separate in

February 4, 2026 | Comments Off on Gingersnap Would Love a Foster

Age: 2   Sex: Female   Breed: Pit Mix  Weight: 52lbs   Restrictions: Must Meet Dogs  Gingersnap has been quite fearful here at the shelter but seems to enjoy the company of people and relaxes when given calm attention.

She went out to foster briefly and did show some signs of separation anxiety. Due to her nervousness, she would need to meet any potential dog siblings before going to foster. We do not have any history on her with
