It had been 4 years since our family last had a kitty. For my 40th birthday present, I was given the best gift of all: the chance to visit the Humane Society of Huron Valley to hopefully adopt a kitten. Talia (formerly Wilma) was the first and only kitten I held. Her markings are so striking that I fell in love instantly. She settled into my arms as I held her, and I just had to look into her eyes and knew she was coming home with me. Even though I just adopted her on Saturday (5/24/19), I just knew

When we first adopted Mary Jane, she had almost no fur and a host of health problems. She didn’t let that stop her from making friends with our other Shih Tzu, Grizzly, and being incredibly sweet. With a lot of hard work (and a lotttt of medication), her fur has almost completely grown back and her other medical conditions are gone or controlled. She continues to be the sweetest girl. She was the perfect addition to our little family. We love her and are so happy to have HSHV in our community.

We knew that our family wanted another dog, but we weren’t sure what kind exactly. My son and I decided to go to the shelter one afternoon, and as it turns out, an adoption event was taking place that day. We walked by several adorable puppies, but then we saw Vayda! She whined when we left her cage (more than once) something we hadn’t seen her do with anyone else. We knew she was the new family dog we were looking for. She couldn’t be any sweeter or more playful; she fits into our family perfectly! We just love her

We adopted two barn cats, not knowing how they would fit into our little pack, and they have become the barn ambassadors! They greet us every morning with love and lots of ‘stories’ about the previous night’s hunt! And they have to be near us, whatever we’re doing. The best part is how they love each other; we see them leave together each evening on their nightly rounds. We love these cats so much, and highly recommend HSHV for your barn cat needs.   Owen and Cusack, now Patrick and Lucky

Maisy drew us in right away. She welcomed our attention so she seemed like a good fit for the kitty we already had who was in need of a best friend. She was estimated to be 3 years old, but we weren’t so sure because of her small size. We took her home and it’s safe to say she grew.

My boyfriend at the time knew I was really wanting a to adopt a kitten. So one day, we went to HSHV to check out what they had. I originally was looking for a white cat, but then my boyfriend spotted Mia. When he handed her to me I said, “My heart just melted,” and I knew I was taking her home. I’ve had her 5 years in June and I can’t imagine life without my Mia Bug.   Skittles now Mia

During the Polar Vortex, I could not get my mind off adopting a dog. Thinking about a poor dog shivering in the cold just didn’t sit well with my mind. So, the day where it snowed about an inch an hour (& school was closed!) we put on our boots and hats and made the 45 minute drive in the snow to the Humane Society of Huron Valley. My boyfriend and I looked up and down the halls and both immediately fell in love with Max. He sat on command and killed us with his beautiful eyes! Within an hour,

Stella is slowly getting acclimated to her new home. She loves sitting on her new mom’s head when she’s trying to sleep. This is a love bug kitty who loves tummy rubs! We are so happy we found her.   Sansa now Stella Dora

When I walked into the kitten room, Milo (then Linus) jumped onto the bars of the crate, and I knew he was coming home with me. Otis (then Reedus) was a bit more shy, but I thought Milo could pull him out of his shell. Boy, was I right. Now, they are two brothers who wrestle and cuddle all the time and just had their first birthday! Milo has never met a person he doesn’t like (he even tries to help the maintenance man!), and Otis is afraid of basically everything. But together, Milo helps Otis overcome his fears and
