For Youth

Looking for quick and easy animal-themed crafts and animal enrichment that can be done with common household items?  You can find videos on HSHV’s Facebook page or YouTube channel which have many fun and creative options.

HSHV’s Bed Time Stories are a great way to learn about animals and nature while also sharing the love of reading!  Ages 4+. Videos of the stories read by HSHV staff and volunteers can be found on HSHV’s Facebook page or on our YouTube channel.

 

For Pet Owners

In need of some expert advice on working with and caring for your dogs at home? Some HSHV dog training classes are online and our website provides an extensive behavior and training library.

Join us for prerecorded dog training topics. Are you trying to work from home with a bored dog and finding it challenging?  Is the neighborhood walk getting too routine?  Has your dog lost interest in the usual toys?  Register for DIY Dog Enrichment – Virtual Recorded Zoom Session as we talk about ways to give your dog mental enrichment using things around the home.  If you have a dog who tends to over-react on leash, you may be having a particularly tough time lately, as spring weather and social distancing seem to have everyone out walking their dog more.  Living with a Reactive Dog – Virtual Recorded Zoom Session is available to register for and view via prerecorded link to help understand why dogs can over-react and will give you some management tips and tricks to help bring peace back to your walks.

Bountiful Bowls, our free pet food assistance program, is running curbside.  Please call (734) 661-3552 for food assistance information. If you, family or friends need help feeding a companion animal in other parts of Michigan, here’s a map of pet food banks throughout the state.
