Badger is home and happy

I adopted Badger on May 6 2020. I wanted a dog so badly, and the shelters hardly had any due to Covid. I met him and took him home an hour later. He’s a happy boy who loves his toys, and his cheese and a good walk in the woods. He’s part of the family and he’s even allowed on the couch and on beds now. He has a funny personality and a lot of character. I could not have found a better buddy for me. King now Badger

Lucia in her loving FOREVER home

I had recently lost my 15 year old Siamese cat Chai to lymphoma and was heartbroken. My son and I decided, after almost 2 months without having a little fur ball in our home, that we wanted to adopt another cat. Little did we know we would end up with not one, but two. First we adopted Lucia. Soon after bringing her home we noticed she was exhibiting signs of being taken away from her mom and litter way too early, and upon reading about this I saw that sometimes having another cat to bond with helps this behavior. So,

Beautiful Pittie-Mix Mends a Broken Home

We adopted Miss. Elizabeth in late March of 2020. It was just a few days before the Governor shut down our state due to COIVD-19 and we had just lost our previous HSHV alum, who had been an important member of the family for over 11 years. Knowing our home would be too empty, and sad, during the lockdown we decided to act fast. When I called HSHV to check on adoptions there were only a few adult dogs available. Fortunately Lizzy (Dinkley at the time) was one of them. We still miss our last dog everyday but Lizzy has

My new study buddy!

Tabitha was supposed to be adopted the week that I came to the Tiny Lions Lounge & Adoption Center. We immediately fell in love with her and they told us the previous adoption fell through, so we ended up taking her home the following week! Her new name is Nairobi, and she was very timid at first but warmed up almost immediately. Now she has shown us her wild, awesome personality! Her favorite thing to do is to sit on my laptop while I’m in my Zoom meetings, or try and play with my hand while I’m taking notes. And

Best dog ever

We love our Maya so much. She has been such an incredible addition to our family. She’s so smart and playful and energetic. She loves hiking with us and she just fits in so well. Our young boys love to feed her, give her treats, keep an eye on her water bowl and include her in our outdoor adventures. We hope she is as happy living with us as we are to have her. So grateful for her! Ezri now Maya

2 months and he has me wrapped around his finger

I adopted this little gremlin back in August and boy, was I not ready for how much I grew to adore him. He warmed up to me almost instantly, sleeping on me and demanding to be petted all the time. He lays on my desk all the time when I’m there, just laying down between me and the laptop for a nap. Though he can be a mischievous little gremlin that wakes me up at 3am by nibbling my feet or jumping on me, I’m so glad I took the chance and adopted him. Wiley now Marshmallow

Feisty cat makes herself at home

My children (13 & 8) adopted Luna after a separation and relocating to Ann Arbor. We had left behind our two guinea pigs and were looking for a fluffy friend to add to our family. We came to HSHV as a family to decide on who we should add to our home. I was initially drawn to Luna because of her coloring but fell for her feisty nature as she attempted to escape from her enclosure at HSHV as we visited with her. The staff was great about informing us about Luna’s past and personality, as well as sharing with

Minnie adopted us

We brought our two grandkids with us to see how the dogs would be with them. The moment Minnie was with Jack and I, she was wanting to play and lick Jack. When Lucy came into the corral, same thing. She adopted us at that moment. She wanted to play with them the minute they walked in. She has been a wonderful addition! Life would not be the same without her. She has fallen in love with every family member and our friends. Skippy now Minnie

Pudgeroni, Her Royal Pudgliness, the Pudgester, Pudgeroodledoo, finds a home!

Pudge was a precious fluffy cuddle bug when we first met her at HSHV and purred the entire time we pet her. When we took her home she was an absolute wimp and hid in every dusty corner she could find. In the past few weeks she’s been getting a lot bolder and comfy with us and she’s now capable of fighting formidable foes like Mr. Mousey and Mr. Fishy, pictured here. We love having this precious little kitty around, and the house is her palace. She alternates between being a floppy puddle who only wants pets and an absolute
