We adopted Nadine nearly two years ago from HSHV. She was a scared pup when we met her and her personality was almost non-existent. It took about a month to get into a good feeding routine with her, and then another two months before she started to play with us at all. We didn’t even hear her speak until nearly six months in when she barked at us during play, and the goofball within was unleashed! Ever since she broke out of her shell, she’s been an absolute GOOF. She gets the zoomies, which is hilarious to see in such

Adoption is the way to bring joy and laughter back into your home!
In 2017, Snuffy now known as Apollo enjoyed his first day in his new home, exploring and trying out every toy in his new toy box! Throughout the day he had to stop and take a quick few naps to recharge, and he was back at exploring! Now, 3 years later, our lives have been changed ever since we brought Apollo home. He has brought us joy and laughter and has taught us the importance of a nice long nap! Snuffleupagus now Apollo

Six months with our wiggly Boy!
We officially brought Yondu (the dog FKA Wrangler) on June 19, but we loved him before then! Yondu came home for a pajama party a few days earlier, and it only took hours before we knew he would be staying. He’s definitely one of the family! He loves snuggling with Mom and Dad (especially Dad), going to the dog park, and taking plenty of walks (he gets several every day!). Some of his favorite things these few months have been walks to the ice cream stand and trips to the renaissance fair. He has developed quite the fan club, from

Eugene and Penny!
We adopted Eugene (9) from Tiny Lions in the Spring of 2018. After our roommate and his cat moved out a few months later, our chunky socialite Eugene was very vocal about wanting a companion pet. We made a few more trips to Tiny Lions, and then we fell in love with Penny (2), the sweetest and shyest orange girl. Despite being underweight and being fearful of people, toys, and even food initially, Penny and Eugene hit it off right away with her following him around and learning how to “cat.” She is a great friend to Eugene and encourages

The turn around dog
We came to the Humane Society of Huron Valley for a few weeks to find that perfect dog who would choose us. After seeing a few dogs, I saw a sad little face in one of the kennels. After watching so many people walk past him because he wasn’t happy, wagging his tail, wanting to be petted, I asked to see him. He was shy at first, but as soon as the nice lady that worked there came in, he leaned into me and gave me a big sloppy kiss. I knew he had chose us. The next day we

Problem Girl Gone Good
So glad I found this site. I hated Maizie’s breed. I’ve only been bitten and annoyed by small dogs. I walked right past her. The friend I was with said, “How about this one?” Me: “I hate yippy yappy football dogs.” The HSHV employee said, “She’s actually a sweet girl. Try her.” I decided since the dog I “wanted” was already adopted, I’d give Martha a chance. It was hot. I sat down outside. She jumped into my lap and never left my arms. We had some hyperactive issues, some poo pee issues, some separation anxiety issues. Now, she has

He has been my companion for almost eight years getting me through some rough times and having lots of good times
One of the best decisions I made was adopting my buddy. He gets me through the rough spots and bumps of life, and asks for nothing; he is happy just getting attention. We walk daily which keeps us both healthy. He goes with me just about everywhere. We even took a trip to Olympic National Park last spring. I’m hoping to get a motor home so that we can both explore this beautiful country of ours. Bruno is pictured here wearing his safety vest at work with me at the railroad. We just had a big update at work with

Reggie finds a happy home!
I adopted Reggie in 2018 and have loved her ever since. It took a while to get used to her as she likes to prawl the house and talk loudly around 3am every night, but we have gotten used to each other, and I wouldn’t trade her for the world. Reggie now Lil Girl

Friends Fur-ever!
We adopted our now 1.5-year-old cat, Allie, one year ago. She is the perfect fit, but we wanted her to have a buddy for when we are at work during the day. We adopted Madden over the summer, and although it took some time, they are now best buds! Madden is so playful and definitely our energetic, curious kitty. He and Allie enjoy tackling each other, chasing each other, and cuddling! My biggest fear in adopting Madden was that Allie would resent us and they wouldn’t get along. Your staff was wonderful with easing my worries and giving us pointers
