We adopted Storm (formerly Sugar) a few months ago. She was so timid and scared. She had been shaved all the way down due to matting and skin allergies. This was her first haircut by a groomer since we adopted her. Sugar now Storm

Winnie gets a sister ❤️
We adopted Charity (now Winnie) from HSHV in October last year, and she immediately fell in love with her sister, Chubbina (Chubby — from Monroe County Humane Society, no relation to HSHV) They get along so well and love cuddling up next to each other on top of the recliner. Charity now Winnie

Adopting Cali was the best thing I ever did for my mental health
I was struggling with anxiety and loneliness, as my partner had to move out of state for work, and we were considering relocating. After a particularly hard day, I decided to go for a walk around the shelter and found Cali — she was sweet and friendly, and immediately I was drawn to her. Two days later, I took her home. Cali has seen me through two cross-country moves, bouts of anxiety and depression, the best days and the worst. She is a wonderful companion. Adopting Cali was the best thing I ever did for my mental health. Cali

Best friend
I adopted Dixie when she was around 8 months old. Over 2 years later, we are best friends and do everything together. This adoption has been the best decision I have made, and I can’t wait for many more fun years together. #adoptdon’tshop Dixie

Paddy- the pibble for us
Paddy was at the shelter two months when we adopted her. We were 3 weeks into marriage and knew she was the one for us. Now she is enjoying life in jammies, long walks down the community gardens and tons of snuggles.

Seamus comes home
I Saw Seamus at HSHV 6 years ago now. He was — and still is — a very cuddly kitty. He is, however, slightly larger than he was when adopted. He was 9 lbs when I adopted him. He currently is about 20 lbs. He is such a love bug, and I couldn’t be happier. Seamus McFuzzy

A Sweet Ragamuffin Finds a Home
In March 2018, we had to say goodbye to our elderly calico after a happy 17.5 years full of naps and food and tummy rubs. Originally, we thought it would take some time before we were ready to open our hearts to another creature. But after a week of the house feeling sad and empty, we made our way to Tiny Lions lounge and adoption Center (HSHV’s cat cafe). On our second visit there, we spied a minuscule, wide-eyed, giant-tailed, fearless 7-month-old dust-mop hiding behind a door. With a bit of coaxing, she came and licked our hands and graciously

Frank’s Forever Home
I fell in love with this sweet face on The Humane Society of Huron Valley’s Facebook page. The next day, I got there as soon as I could to see if I could find him, and I did! He was shy at first, but lay down on my lap. I knew I had to take him home that day! This puppy’s love has filled my life with joy! I couldn’t be more grateful for The Humane Society of Huron Valley and their Love Train program! Today is Frankie’s birthday, and we’re celebrating in style! Frankenstein now Frank
