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

Bonded brothers go home together

I went into the humane society honestly just trying to cheer myself up and came home with two rays of sunshine. When I went into the kitten room, there were more kittens than usual and instantly spotted a cage full of orange kitties. Yogi came right up to me and started purring almost louder than all the kittens it seemed. I went a filled out the form to get a pass and got to meet him. He lay on my chest, and I instantly fell In love. When I took his paper, Nacho came running and I knew I needed

Quincy Cat

I’m finishing up graduate school, so my husband and I decided to get a study buddy for me during my last semester. We fell in love with Quincy when we were at HSHV. He came right up to us and wasn’t afraid to play. My husband is allergic to cats and Quincy didn’t affect him at all, so we took it as a sign he was the one for us. We took him home the next day, and he instantly wanted to be our best friend. That night I was working on a paper and Quincy jumped right into my

Luna — Love you to the moon and back

I found Luna when I needed her most. My heart was broken after having to say goodbye best friend Cooper who actually was adopted HSHV almost 16 years ago. Luna was shy, yet attentive and calm despite the chaos of the shelter. Since her adoption day 9/29/19, we have learned she never runs out of kisses and has never-ending energy. She loves other dogs and kids and thinks everyone is here to play with her. She LOVES playing ball just as much as my Cooper did. She has filled my heart with joy again. I never thought I’d love another

Remus stole our hearts

When I first saw Remus, he was in the cage looking as adorable as can be but not as rambunctious as all the other kittens. I fell in love with his sweet face. It didn’t take long for him to get used to his new place, and now he runs the house and bullies the 10-year-old cat! But we all love him and can’t get enough of his playful personality. There is never a dull day with him around.   Melvin Muscles now Remus
