Jazz was abandoned and then isolated due to some possible health concerns. She must not have received as much love due to the possibility of being contagious. My husband and I were looking for a loving pet to bring into our home. We both saw her in her kennel kneading her paws, and instantly fell in love! She had some issues at first, but she is the most playful, loving kitty you will ever meet once she develops trust!!! Sherbert now Jazz

My girlfriend and I had been living together for a while and decided maybe we should go look at dogs. Originally, we both wanted a puppy but decided that would be a lot with our busy lives. We went a few times and didn’t see any dogs who were somewhat calm. The last time we went, we saw Nala (Patty at the time). She was very hesitant and shy, and it looked like she’d had babies recently. My girlfriend and I talked about it for a bit, and took her for a walk around their facility. Nala started off being

It’s only been a week and I already can’t imagine our lives without her! When we met Toast (formerly known as Caddie) at the shelter she crawled right into my lap and wanted endless head scratches and chin rubs. During her first few days at home she remained that extremely cuddly cat, but now her goofy personality is blooming: a ton of zoomies, lots of meowing and chirping, and so many cuddles. She’s completely adjusted to her new home with our two toddlers and we couldn’t be happier. Caddie now Toast

Betty and I met at the Humane Society of Huron Valley 8 years ago. I was recently retired and Betty was recently abandoned. She has been a great addition to my life and hopefully vice versa. She has received excellent veterinary care at the HSHV Clinic, and fortunately – for her as well as me – she has been in good health her entire life. I hope we are together for many years to come.

As a dog walker, I knew Harriet. I had walked her, spent time with her. The sweet Pittie mix momma dog who was abandoned, along with her puppies, she had been tied to a pole . It’s ironic because in 2007 I rescued two pittie puppies who had been tied to a tree and abondoned. My sweet Izzy lived to be 9 and George lived to be 12. The second irony was when George passed (and shattered my heart). He had been ill for sometime, but his passing came unexpectedly on June 22 2019, the same day the adoption hold

3 years ago, our cat of 18 years passed away. After the extreme morning period, my daughters and I finally felt ready to donate her food to HSHV. It was a Wednesday morning. The girls wanted to look at the dogs before we left. After doing a lap, we were ready to leave when one of the volunteers informed us that the Love Train was coming on Friday. I chuckled and told my daughters that the last thing we needed was a puppy, as we had a 15 year old blind and deaf Yorkie at home. Friday comes, and we

Clover came home with us about a week ago now. Our existing dog, Nadine, wasn’t certain about it, but now, they’re best playmates in the backyard! Clover loves to chase Nadine and play with anything squeaky. She tears apart toys like it’s her job. Clover also hangs her tongue out of the side of her face and sits sideways like a goof. And her lil butt wiggles are so funny! She’s a great addition to our crazy family, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Stormy now Clover

Hi. My name is Silvia. I was adopted a week ago on August 16th 2020. It’s only been a little over a week in my new Forever Home, but my life has changed in such wonderful ways I have to pinch myself to make sure I’m not dreaming! I love living with my Dad and his mom, my Grandma, I’m taken care of and loved and cuddled all the time. Every morning my day starts out with a long walk with Dad and Grandma. During the day I help Grandma with the gardening (I’m great at supervising), play with Dad,

This was my first experience adopting a dog from a shelter. I’ve always seen these stories on TV and social media where the process is romanticized, and how “you just know” when you see them. We went specifically to look at Mocha, a dog we had seen posted on Instagram (my husband’s dream dog is a chocolate lab). When we entered the dog area, I heard this incessant, continuous barking. I muttered something to my husband that it was probably her, and I was right. There she was, barking nonstop, refusing to make eye-contact with anyone walking by, and refusing
