I was lucky enough to adopt a Huron Valley kitty 11 years ago. Baby Bleu moved from Indiana to Austin, TX in 2015 and back to northern Indiana just as Covid hit. We went through some tough times together, dealing with my then husband's serious illnesses. I don't know what I would have done without this wonderful kitty. I lost him 2 weeks ago at the age of 16 and I am shattered. I need some time, but plan to adopt another one from HSHV in the future, after I have had time to mourn. This cat meant the world to me, and I am forever grateful.
I took my dog ruby for her shots, they were supper patient with us, because our pet didn’t let them touch her. Great help and great place.
After a very impactful loss of my 14 year old chihuahua, HVHS became a place of healing for me. I spent a lot of time with the animals and talking with workers and volunteers. They were all so kind and caring, it really made a difference. After a month or so, I found a cat I really connected to, and I decided to open my heart and home again. Throughout the entire adoption process, I felt supported, encouraged, and grateful for each staff member I interacted with. While I don’t come as often right now, there is nowhere else in this area I would trust more than HVHS. Penelope (formerly Paz) has offered so much healing and love during this period of grief, and I couldn’t love her more. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
We had our kitten’s sterilization surgery here. They took great care of her and were very patient, helpful, and informative.
HSHV has been our veterinary clinic for our dogs for over 15 years and has provided excellent care for them. They have run discount vaccine clinics for pets which have made vaccines more affordable. They are always providing pet care advice and doing what they can to support owners. They are compassionate with your pet’s end of life process and they send you a bereavement card. I would rate them more than five stars if I could.
HSHV is a great advocate of animals in our area. They are the best, from outreach/education, animal cruelty investigations, adoptions, and advocacy. We also had them spay our cats, they did a great job and it cost significantly less than at our local vet.
HSHV of Huron Valley is a paragon in both the nonprofit world, and also that of animal rescue and care. They are consistently working to save animals, educate the community about the importance of animal care, and working to pair their wonderful animals with loving homes.
I had the pleasure of adopting one of their animals, and it was healthy, loved, and lived a long life after adoption! We love HSHV!
Wonderful animal shelter. I volunteer here and have adopted two dogs from them. Their clinic offers discounted shots throughout the year. Bountiful Bowls provides pet food for those in need. Humane education programs are available for children. Very dedicated staff and volunteers.
Just an incredible organization. I am on the Board of Directors of Therapaws of Michigan and we partner with HSHV to do community outreach programs going into senior living facilities for Memory Circles for residents. During these HSHV does presentations about animals, residents get to talk about their former pets while having the opportunity to pet therapy dogs. This is just one of their many programs from low cost spay/neuter/vaccinate, to canine behavior experts, to read to the animals, and too many others to count. Their Love Train brings scores of dogs and cats up from other states where they have high volume over crowding

Humane Society of Huron Valley is an amazing organization who leaves no animal behind. The countless hours and time they spend rehabilitating dogs and even cats and other animals that people have said can’t be rehabilitated – with the right people to help them – they can.
We’ve adopted 2 wonderful dogs and the best cat ever from HSHV. They were so helpful to us during the whole process. I love all they do for the animals in our community. So many sad cases come through their doors, but no one is turned away. I’m forever grateful to this wonderful organization. Till every cage is empty….
It is such a privilege to volunteer at HSHV. Their innovative, non-stop quest to care for all the critters who come through their doors until they find their fur-ever homes is legendary. No wonder HSHV has a national reputation! My sweet 14-year-old ZoZo is an HSHV alum who enriches my life every single day.

It is a privilege to volunteer at the Humane Society of Huron Valley. I am so impressed with how hard the staff and volunteers work to save every single animal who comes through their doors. HSHV has an extraordinary save rate (95% in 2016), especially when you consider they are an open shelter (they do not turn any animals away). HSHV's behavior and medical team members work their hearts out to get all animals ready for adoption. Their foster program, trap/neuter/and release program, their programs for kids, their amazing Tiny Lounges Lounge and Cat Cafë, are just a few of the services they offer. Visit soon -- change a life!
My partner and I have adopted 2 cats from HSHV now and we have had a fantastic experience each time. Staff are always helpful and willing to talk through things with you—we’ve brought both cats into a home that already had one, and their guidance has been very valuable. They also seem to take great care of all of the pets in their facility, which is always clean and well-staffed. We love HSHV and would adopt from them again!
Have been a volunteer and donor supporter for HSHV for almost 12 years ! They are completely dedicated to the safety and care of every animal that comes through its door. Never turning down for medical issues or reason. Almost 100% safe rate too! Awesome staff and the best volunteers!
The HSHV not only supports Washtenaw county, but takes in animals from overcrowded shelters (Love Train), animal testing facilities, and hoarding cases. They have a fantastic fostering system, lower cost vet services, and provide support for families to keep their pets. They are the BEST!

My family and I have adopted and brought in lost pets to HSHV. They are kind, compassionate, and an invaluable asset to our community. Thank you for all that you do!
I volunteer for a rescue in Tennessee. Huran Valley helps us rehome these sweet babies. These babies would never have a chance at finding their forever homes without Huran Valleys help.
I donate to this organization whenever I can. What they did for our county and furbabies is truly amazing. I have friends who have adopted from them and have been very happy. I will continue to support them!! ❤️
I love volunteering at HSHV! For a shelter this size they're so well organized. No animal that comes in the door gets overlooked. The special treatment each one gets according to their needs is to be seen to be believed. Above all, they have a big ❤️
I have been a dog walker for over 15 years and absolutely love this organization. They take the best care of all the animals who come thru their doors and always go the extra mile to care for their staff, volunteers and of course the animals no matter what condition they are in. HSHV is the BEST!
I adopted two cats from HSHV. I adore my shy Patrick and sweet Lilley. Both of them might have been put down at other shelters. Patrick was a feral kitten, and Lilley was shy and even hostile to anyone who would try to get to know her. But HSHV does not give up on their animals. They have an extremely low kill rate; an animal has to be very very sick or very dangerous to be put down. The shelter is spotlessly clean. They'll keep a dog for months, putting it in foster care to get socialized, and they've healed many dogs with heartworm, and even healed pups with parvo. They have prosecuted cruelty cases as well. They rescue horses, cows, chickens, and bunnies, and every kind of pet, including lizards. I adopted three of my five pets from there. They are the first place I look when I decide to add to my pet family. They have vet services, a low cost vaccination clinic, a helpline for those having behavior problems with pets, and always take a pet back if things don't work out. I've volunteered there, and adopted most of my dogs and cats there over the years. I've turned in rescue animals there, and used their vet services. I couldn't live without them, and I'm grateful that they exist to show other shelters how to do it right.
An amazing organization, saving so many local animals from homelessness, or other life-threatening circumstances. My family has adopted eight animals from HSHV. I am a proud donor, and I recommend the shelter to everyone searching for a family pet or barn cat.
This nonprofit is incredible in all they do!!! I’m am always in awe of the time and effort they put into giving homeless animals the best chance they could have! Plus ensuring pet parents are supported as well.
We have three dogs from HSHV and each time we adopted from them went beautifully. They took the time to make sure the dogs got along, offered meet and greets with a staff pro as well as pajama parties for a couple of days to make sure everyone was happy. HSHV is simply the best shelter program we’ve dealt with in almost 30 years of having furry family members!

My wife and I have adopted three dogs in a row from HSHV and they have been absolutely fantastic! We've taken advantage of several of their programs so far. The first was a meet-and-greet at HSHV where we brought our then current dog to HSHV to meet potential siblings followed by a "pajama party" where we took the potential sibling home for a few days to make sure things went well, and they did! The older dog later passed so we went back to HSHV for another meet-and-greet where the two dogs immediately became fast friends so we adopted the new dog on the spot. Most recently we adopted a puppy from HSHV who was just 8 weeks old so we brought him home to introduce to our first two HSHV dogs using the introduction techniques we learned from the HSHV adoption counselors. Things went great and the three dogs get along wonderfully. HSHV staff has been incredibly helpful and responsive every time we've been there. We talked to counselors and told them what we were trying to do each time and they recommended dogs that they felt were good potential siblings and they've been right every time. Trust their expertise! The pictures are Rocky (brindle and white) with Ringo (black and white) and Ringo with Moose the puppy....our HSHV pack.
Amazing people ,we adopted our dogs from them .The puppy was from thelove train .She has brought so much love and joy to our family.They areep organized and efficient.
Multiple 5 star visits. Including while searching for our family member who we ended up adopting from the love train :)
We have adopted every one of our animals from here, with the exception of one. That one showed up at our door. HSHV offers so much support after adoption. I also love their low cost vaccination clinics.
Humane Society of Huron Valley goes above and beyond to care for animals. I am a cat/kitten foster and they are a wealth of information for any questions I've had when fostering. They truly care about what they do.
This facility goes above and beyond for their community. Whether it is their vaccines clinics, their rescue team going out to help, their intake team being there seven days a week, their foster team working endlessly to help get care provided, or their adoptions team making happily ever afters, these workers work endlessly and put their heart and souls into what they do. Our community would not be what it is without them.
I called about an injured squirrel. Someone called me right away and were there to help within 20-30 minutes. Logan was great, came with appropriate equipment and was knowledgeable and compassionate. I appreciate being able to find fast help for injured wildlife!
I rescued my girl from HSHV 7 years ago. I am still in touch with her fosters from there (also a volunteer). Many of the folks still follow up on her and her journey. That means so much to me - it shows the genuine care for the animals.
The facilities were also so impressive. Clean and well thought out.
I love HSHV! The staff is so caring of the animals and also so welcoming and courteous to the public. I often visit the shelter and cafe with my nieces when we need our doses of cat therapy! I trust my donations to this org based on the results I’ve seen!
I’ve both adopted from and volunteered with this amazing organization. My adopted cat is now 14 and she was saved by HSHV, along with her kittens, at under a year old. Without them, it’s unlikely she would still be alive. We’ve adopted two dog, both of which are now on the other side of the rainbow bridge. They were amazing companions and we miss them both every day. HSHV is the best place to find your next furry friend.
We adopted our senior cat Rhiannon from HSHV. She appeared to be well cared for by staff and volunteers during her time there (about 2 months). The adoption team was very diligent in making sure we understood potential issues due to her past history and related health. Highly recommended!
We have adopted two puppies from the Huron Valley Humane Society. The volunteers and staff are top notch, and the care the animals receive is great!
I started as a volunteer and was so impressed by everything about the organization that I got a job there!
There are so many more things to HSHV than just adoptions, from helping people who may be struggling to provide healthcare and food to their animals to all the wonderful humane education programs that help young people learn empathy and understand animals.
We got our big goof from Huron Valley's Love Train, and it's the best spur of the moment choice I ever made.
We weren't really planning on getting another dog, but our old girl was getting older and I knew the kids would be sad without her so we decided to visit the love train and ended up coming home with the bestest boy.
Not only are the facilities great and the people friendly, but the energy and effort HVHS puts into making each animal safe amd comfortable while waiting for their families to find them is extraordinary.
Whenever anyone I know is asking for info on possibly gaining a new pet, I immediately recommend Huron Valley.
We'd been looking for a dog for some time, going to the Humane Societies in Detroit and Westland. Someone suggested the Humane Society of Huron Valley.
The place is amazing - so clean and the staff so welcoming and patient with us.
The day we walked out with Marley (formerly Willow) was one I will never forget. He literally changed our lives - for the better.
The HSHV is a real asset to our community. Their junior volunteer program is wonderful, their youth programming is expansive, and they take great care of the animals. Their on site vet clinic is tops, and their cross-town cat cafe is great fun. They also advocate for responsible treatment of wildlife.
I volunteer at the huron valley human society and they truly treat their volunteers and animals the absolute best.
Provides a great service to the animals in our community, Also a great place for teens to volunteer.
We got our dog from the love train 4 years ago. We had so much trouble trying to deal with small rescue groups. We were recovering from the loss of our previous dog and just wanted a fur baby to love. The love train adoption experience was so nice and easy with the application process and picking out your new family member. We will only adopt from them in the future.
I had a great interactions with the staff at HVHS . I went in looking for a dog to add to my family. The staff were so friendly and helpful . They knew a lot about their animals and were so helpful the whole step of the way. This was my third dog that I have adopted from a humane society. This was my first time at WVHS and I tell anyone and everyone to adopt from there it is such a great place. The dogs were friendly and well taken care of by staff and volunteers .
When I was working in the Ann Arbor area we always chose HSHV as one of our holiday charities to support. I can't say enough good things about them. They care for, and advocate for, ALL ANIMALS. They have instituted wonderful programs that enrich the lives of the animals in their care and also our communities. They have a wonderful staff and volunteers who truly care for the animals until they are adopted. We are so very fortunate to have such a wonderful organization in our community.
I have not adopted from here but have kept a watchful eye on it as it is local and I support local animal shelters!
My over all thoughts on them is that they are dedicated to the health and welfare of animals and do their best with what they have.
I adopted my lab mix 10 years ago from Huron Valley. That day changed my life forever. We had an amazing experience and our family has been filled with love every day since. They made sure that our girl was spayed and chipped and we had pet insurance too when we left. Thank you for making our family complete.
I have adopted several pets from the Humane Society of Huron Valley over the last 15 years. They consistently provide stellar care for the animals in their shelter and excellent support for those who adopt them. They offer all of the information they have about the animals' medical and behavioral issues to be sure nobody takes home a pet they aren't prepared to care for, and they provide follow-up support through their veterinary clinic and an app called Maddie's Pet Assistant. I admire this organization so much!
Have adopted from HSHV, and am a monthly contributor theirs is a great team and they do great work. They all care and it shows. LOVE THEM
Love,love,love. Me and my boyfriend adopted Ash a little over 2 years ago. I love that dog. I love the love train and what the huron valley humane society does to help animals.
Thank you
This is a wonderful organization. I am not sure how they get everything done from rescuing wildlife, helping animals that need new homes, running a vet clinic and that is just the beginning of what they do. They are a positive part of our community.
This humane society is just amazing. I came across a cat that needed some real help, they took him in no questions asked. Unfortunately he could not be saved but they did all they could for him. Thank you so much for helping him.
Huron Valley Humane Society is the nicest shelter I have ever visited. The animals are very well cared for!
I adopted two kitties from HSHV 15 years ago. The HSHV was there to answer questions about introducing my older cat to the newcomers. My kitties were healthy and clearly well taken care of while at the shelter. I love that they are a no kill shelter!
Huron Valley Humane Society works tirelessly for the benefit of animals. I’ve taken pets to the clinic after their regular vets retired because I know I can trust their caring ethical treatment.
The animals here are so adorable, walking in I wanted one, walking out I wanted all of them. So cute.
We've adopted three of our fur kids through the Humane Society of Huron Valley. The staff always went out of their way to provide wise counsel and ensure a positive experience. They enouraged us visit as often as we wanted to find the perfect furry family members. We appreciate all that the Humane Society staff and volunteers do to help animals in need, and we'll continue to support their important mission.
I think this is the model all Humane Societies should follow. I have worked with them when I have found myself with a stray dog or an injured wild animal. They are always responsive and caring.
This is absolutely the best place to adopt a pet. The animals are very well cared for so they are less likely to show long term effects from the trauma of whatever situation brought them there. We adopted our current cat from them and she brings us joy every day of our lives.
HSHV is an excellent resource for animals in our community. I have adopted two dogs from HSHV. They are a no kill shelter. The facility is clean and comfortable while the animals wait for their forever homes. Here is a picture of Loki our Siberian Husky we adopted from HSHV.
Love Train alumni Ernie ('21) and Ludwig ('19) came to our family from Tennessee. They keep things lively at our house, and we're so grateful to HVHS for bringing them to us. Truly a wonderful organization!
We adopted our dog from them. They made sure she was totally covered from shots to her spay. We visited with several dogs until we found the right fit for our family and I recommend anyone who's looking for a pet to check them out.
I have never seen a HS work so hard to find homes for the animals in their care. They do an excellent job of finding great people to adopt. They pass on adopters' followup photos, showing the happy adoptees. I have never seen such a pro-active HS organization. I'd give them six stars if I could!
All 4 of my current cats and all of the sadly departed ones too over my 40+ years in Ann Arbor have been HSHV grads. I fostered kittens for them for 6 years which was an amazing experience (sadly can’t continue right now but hope to do it again someday). I also use and love their vet clinic. Our community is truly lucky to have such an amazing facility with such dedicated staff here for the animals in our area.
The Huron Valley Humane Society provides great services to the area ranging from caring for unwanted pets to rescuing animals who have been neglected, abandoned or just need help!
The staff are all excellent. I big shout out to the Cruelty Investigators and Emergency Rescue staff who depend on donations to do this lifesaving job. Also the TNR program is top notch.
Very friendly staff, great facility! I adopted a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel back in the end of April from here and had such a great experience! Would recommend this facility to anyone looking to adopt their new best friend.
There are so many wonderful programs offered to help pets and owners in the community. Low cost shot clinics, TNR days and food pantry are just few things available.
We adopted our kitten from HSHV and they were amazing! They are hard working, dedicated team who put in so much effort to helping animals find their next home. Staff are knowledgeable and dedicated, and the whole adoption experience was perfect. 5 starts is not enough!
The Humane society of Huron Valley is the Best. We have adopted 3 animals (2 dogs and a cat) from there . they are always friendly and helpful and the animals are well cared for .
I love this animal rescue. They genuinely care about all the animals, and it shows! The facility is clean and well-maintained, the staff is always friendly and helpful, and they made it super easy to volunteer!
In the past I have adopt two dogs from humane society of Huron valley and they both have been great experiences , even when I went in for the free adoption for cat and dogs the lady greeted us instantly and guided us to where the dogs were . They are super friendly and very helpful plus they do everything they can to make sure their animals get a good Home wit the right people . I’ve also taken a cat there that I couldn’t find a home for and she got adopted a little while after of them taking her in . This place is amazing and my favorite humane society to go too and adopt animals from :)
I went to this pet adoption facility many times before I found my Korbin here. He's a wonderful dog and I couldn't imagine having adopted him from anywhere else. They were so helpful. The place was so clean and the animals looked so happy. I really recommend people adopting from the Humans Society of Huron Valley.
HSHV is the BEST humane society I’ve ever been to. I have adopted from there and brought in a kitten that I found and both experiences were wonderful. They were so helpful and knowledgeable.
HSHV is a wonderful no-kill shelter that has been amazing to volunteer for. My husband and I have started fostering kittens through them and it has been a great experience. The foster care team (Kaylee, Claire and Alex) have been super supportive and responsive to any concerns we have had.
Always helpful and conscientious, whether it’s searching for a lost pet or looking for a new one.
Clean, well-cared for beds for all animals. Couldn’t be better.
THIS IS NOT A SPAM.
This is an amazing shelter! Very clean and always a good experience when I bring my dog for a Check up!
We adopted our senior cat from HSHV. They were very thorough and careful to point out all the possible drawbacks in our future life together (from declawing, interaction with other pets and previous litter box issues). I appreciated the heads up regarding potential challenges and am happy to report she has adjusted well and is a joy to be owned by. I highly recommend HSHV.
We love all HSHV ways to help animals and people come together. Their gold hearts club seeks to place those passed by often for many reasons. Our dog had passed and I don’t want to waste too many weeks before we adopt again. My husband does the most care and our Max really took our hearts away. No more doglets in our future I knew I’d try a cat, but then two were shown in a post as being bff's so adopting them both was the way for these 12 year olds. It was made to happen. We were there in a day, bought supplies that day and got them the next. HSHV gave us all the details, the surrender story, a whole bag of RX food kibble and a whole case of the same in wet. They changed the chip info and even let us borrow a cat carrier to get since we had only one. We returned it and towels the next day. They told us how to acclimate them to our ranch home which was perfect for their arthritic bodies as they grew older. AKA Inity is now Guyz and AKA Midnight is Dolz. They are with us now 6 months and love to be in our laps, stroked and massaged and feel free to take naps anywhere. I’m so glad we have Guyz and Dolz here at home. I love them dearly.
P.S. HSHV also gave us a discount on a future exam with their vets, we brought each one in separately after a few months to see them. All the hair loss and biting of Guyz arms and chest is gone, he’s lush and plush and sleeping now in our doglet bed. 3 big cats could fit in it, but Guyz doesn’t care nor Dolz and he goes there to make his biscuits before cozying in throughout the day/night. Dolz sleeps with us most of the night. They both love looking out our patio doors, just their height to see all the birds, chippies and more that come to our bird feeders.
I was so impressed with the cleanliness of the facility, wonderful vets and their devotion to caring for lost and injured animals. They do an amazing job. They recently did a dental for my sweet, sweet Lola.

I took my kitten to the humane society of Huron valley to be spayed. I was nervous about the process and the staff was incredibly helpful and talked me through the entire process. Even with the after care of my kitten the entire staff was so patient (my kitten was trying to break every recovery rule.) Hshv definitely exceeded all my expectations!
They care for all the animals. t's a no kill shelter and a great benefit to the community. It's one of the few charities I give to generously. I love pets and so do they.
The Humane Society of Huron Valley is a wonderful organization that always goes the extra mile to improve the quality of life of homeless pets across the region. In addition, they provide continuing education for adopters (or anyone in need of extra support). We adopted a puppy through their Love Train program, which brings puppies and dogs from the southern US to their shelter to give the animals a greater chance of finding families. My daughter volunteers through their Junior Volunteer program, and loves it. They provide so many opportunities for young people to learn about the humane treatment of animals, and allow older kids to gain firsthand experience in both animal rescue and veterinary care. Overall, we will continue to support HSHV and would recommend them to anyone looking to add a “furry” (or not-so-furry) family member to their home!
HSHV has provided amazing services to the community through animal rescue, intake, and resources like low cost veterinary care, community pet food pantry, and training.
The best animal shelter I have ever been to. Top notch animal care. Staff are there for the animals’ well-being and you can tell!
I adopted both my dog and my cat from humane society. They have been wonderful to work with. I have taken advantage of the low-cost vet clinics and really appreciate those as well.
We have adopted two wonderful dogs from HSHV and we both now serve as volunteers. HSHV is an amazing place, full of caring people who take such good care of the animals and work so hard to see them find their home. I can not say enough good things about the Humane Society of Huron Valley.
My daughter had a wonderful experience when she adopted a cat from the Humane Society Huron Valley a few years ago. Since then I’ve followed their site and see all the positive things they do for animals all over the US. They really are impressive!
This is a great place. The animals look happy i got my senior dog Princess from here. The process was smooth and everyone seemed knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. They have many different programs.
We adopted both of our amazing dogs from the Humane Society of Huron Valley through their Love Train program. I love that HSHV not only helps animals in our local community, but also has outreach programs like the Love Train that help animals around the country in places where they wouldn't have a chance without outside help. We volunteer with the Love Train program now, and have seen first hand the dedication and effort that goes into giving animals their best possible lives. Our Loki was dumped in the woods in Tennessee as a tiny puppy, and we are so grateful that HSHV brought him to us.
I volunteered with my coworkers for an employer sponsored service day in December. What a wonderful facility that truly cares about the well being of animals! Far exceeding what I had expected to see, the building was bright, clean, well stocked with toys and enrichment for the animals, and full of cheery staff. I admire their education and training efforts, too. I left feeling inspired and fully in support of HSHV’s noble mission.
HSHV offers great services beyond adoption! We adopted Luke, and took advantage of puppy-level training. So essential for new puppy parents! (We we’re first timers.)
Great place to adopt your furry family. Jake and KC both came from there and we had many years with them
We have 3 wonderful family members from HVHS. Our cats were after-Christmas presents to our girls. My youngest just wanted an orange one to replace my beloved Pearl and my other wanted a kitten.
The 7 month old kitten was found first and he was one rambunctious, fluffy, gray boy. He was renamed Lucky from Langston. After much searching we came back to the same cat room and found our orangish boy because he played best with the kitten. His name is Pete (formally Otho) after the books (my daughter was 5 at the time). Pete came from a cat hoarding situation. These two have remained best friends, however, the older Pete is the more playful one now. They both are super cats.
Our other, is a Pittie now named Zoey (originally Shenzie) . We adopted her as a birthday present for my husband. When we went in I said no pits. Well she has become a super dog who gives occasional kisses to Pete.
With both experiences the staff at HVHS was exceptional. They are knowledgeable and patient during the process. When the time comes, I will certainly return. I have also sent a few friends there too.
We met our Dottie girl while camping when she was being fostered by a family after being brought in as a puppy from a large litter that the mother refused to take care of. We met her , fell in love with her and told her foster mom we would do anything to have her. By the end of the weekend we were told she was going to be ours and we could pick her up that following week. The process was smooth and staff was friendly and we got to make sure she was a good fit before taking her home. She was ! We love her so much and we would recommend the adoption process here to anyone - made us feel supported in our new addition to the family and also made us feel comfortable that they are checking to make sure these dogs go to great homes. 5 stars !
The Humane Society of Huron Valley is an absolutely outstanding institution. From the moment you walk in the door, the staff are friendly, welcoming, and willing to help you find the perfect forever friend. Everyone we interacted with clearly had the animals' best interests at heart, as they were all upfront and honest about what our girl, Pumpkin, would need from us as owners. We are forever thankful to the staff at HSHV for bringing our beautiful pup into our lives and wholeheartedly recommend that anyone looking to adopt a pet seek out HSHV.
I can’t even begin to express the immense impact Humane Society of Huron Valley (HSHV) has had on my life. Through them, I found three dogs and one cat whom all mean the world to me. This organization does such incredible work to help all of the animals in our community, domestic and otherwise. I can’t say enough good things about HSHV!
This is an amazing facility, caring about both the animals they care for and the community they serve. We’ve adopted animals from here, we’ve brought in strays dumped at our house and I’ve volunteered there and can tell you first hand how wonderfully the animals are treated. Here is a pic of our collie, who we lost about 6 years ago. He was an adoptee alum.
I walked in to look at the dogs randomly, although I had thought about it for a while. I ended up putting a hold on a puppy and got to bring her home a few days later. We have been inseparable ever since. HVHS has been so helpful with all my questions and concerns since being a first time pet owner. The veterinary care and discounts on medication are also huge helps!
My family had a great experience adopting our pup Coco. All the staff and volunteers were quite helpful on a very busy Sunday. Coco came from the love train and we were lucky to adopt him.
Through the Love Train at Huron Valley we found our missing piece- Ripley! They’ve been super helpful and supportive, and all around an awesome resource for not only Humans, but the furry variety as well :)
All my furry family members came from HSHV. Three cats were kittens that I fostered from tiny kittenhood. Charlie, my female Newf, was rescued from a breeding/hoarding situation as a 6-year-old. My mixed breed Buddy was found abandoned in a dog park.
HSHV has a terrific rescue record for all kinds of injured animals. More than 95% of the animals that come through their doors leave to live a happy life.
The Love Train is an amazing program, and I recommend it to everyone who might be looking for a puppy. I got my dog through the program. The price was fair, and staff was very knowledgeable in answering my questions.
The staff at HSHV was so incredible when we were deciding to welcome a pet into our home. From the Tiny Lions Cafe to the main facility, we learned so much about caring for kittens and cats. You can tell the staff & volunteers love working there. Highly recommend!
Adopted Jethro from HSHV in July 2021. He came up as an adult on the Love Train from Tennessee and has been absolutely the best dog! Thank you HSHV for giving my boy a second chance and for being an amazing organization
Our family LOVES HSHV!! We love animals and often, sometimes weekly, go as a family to see and love on the animals there. We have adopted our dog (G) from the Love Train and 3 rats (Walter, Wilder, & Waffles) from HSHV. We are on the lookout for another dog to expand our family and hope to adopt another beautiful soul from here soon. My wife and daughter participated in the Walk and Wag event, our 12 year old daughter raised $600 this year all on her own. We love HSHV and how much they love animals. All of there programs like The Love Train and Safe Harbour speak to how awesome this organization is. We are so lucky to have this wonderful non-profit in Ann Arbor. If you haven’t been there stop by and you will see how great it is and hopefully go home with a new family member.
We love HSHV! We have adopted two dogs from HSHV. Both pups are awesome. We thank HSHV for taking such great care of our pups prior to rescuing them. HSHV takes great care of all animals in their care.
HSHV is run like a greedy corporation, it’s all about the money and public image (ie “save rate”). They routinely euthanize healthy, adoptable dogs, and lie about why they were euthanized. They truck in thousands of puppies from down south in order to pad their save rate percentage. The Executive Director couldn’t care less about the animals, in five years of volunteering there I never once saw her step foot on the adoption floor.
We adopted our very first pet Rory from HSHV. She has brought so much joy to us. While adopting a puppy was seemingly impossible especially during the pandemic , hshv made that process easy for us they had clear instructions on how to apply and we we’re overjoyed when we received a call back. The volunteers and staff at hshv helped us navigate our first meet and greet with Rory(then Marley) and did not rush us into making a decision, the paperwork was straightforward and they were available for online support even after the adoption. We’ve since then recommended the puppy love train to some of our friends and two of them ended up adopting from HSHV as well and can attest to the fact that they were amazing. I’m always amazed by how much good work they do and how prompt they’re. Cannot thank them enough for everything they do from saving puppies to racoons!
I was looking at photos online when I found the love of my life. I looked into his eyes and knew I wanted to look at them for the next 25 years. Because of Humane Society Huron Valley every day is an adventure
I adopted both my dogs from the Huron Valley Humane Society. I really appreciated their support by offering dog interactions to ensure the younger dog I adopted in 2020 got along with my senior dog, and training to help me to acclimate both dogs. My younger dog had a lot of anxiety in the shelter and when I first brought him home, but with HSHV's training support he is now a happy well adjusted member of our family.
This shelter is run with heart, love and compassion. They are a no-kill shelter. Not only are my husband and myself, donors, I am now a volunteer. They do amazing work for the community from rescuing abused animals, making them healthy, finding them homes and doing their best to see those who inflict cruelty punished, they have a program to provide food for dogs and cats to owners who can no longer afford it, in order to keep these families together. They bring puppies which are scheduled to be euthanized from the south on the Love Train. All are adopted, and treated, if necessary. Every puppy, dog, kitten and cat is well taken care of; loved even, until they find their forever home. I have adopted two dogs and a horse from the Humane Society of Huron Valley.

We have been supporters and donors of the Humane Society of Huron Valley for 30 years. We have adopted 2 dogs, and one horse from them. Their compassion, determination to ensure that those who abuse or neglect animals must surrender them and in many cases are prosecuted. The Love Train, which we have sponsored, rescues dogs (and cats, I believe) from high kill shelters in the South when they are scheduled to be euthanized. These beautiful animals! Our dog, Bliss came from Arkansas. Thanks to the HSHV, they find safe, loving and forever homes. They have programs for those who need help paying for medical care as well as food. There is no better organization for animal welfare.
I rescued my first dog (Holly) from HSHV 25 years ago and she was the best, most loyal dog ever. After she passed it took me many years to let my heart love another… I would visit HSHV every other month looking for my next love. After about 8 years I still couldn’t find the right fit, (I was looking for a small breed, puppy) I did get a new member to add to our family, and I currently bring her to the Veterinary clinic for all her shots and care, they do an amazing job, so caring and compassionate. I wouldn’t go anywhere else! ❤️
What an amazing organization! I rescued my first dog ever from here in 2012. I came looking almost every day so the staff got to know me and what I was looking for. One day I came in and was told to look in a specific kennel. There was my baby girl! They knew and I knew she was meant to be part of my family.
3 years later I came back and rescued my little lucky, who was off the love train. I can’t say enough good things about Huron Valley!

I had never had a dog before and decided it was time. So in September 2012, I walked into hvhs not quite knowing what to expect. They were so amazingly helpful and kind. I often spoke with the workers there so they got to know me and what I was looking for. I came in one day and the worker saw me and said look over there in that kennel, I think you’ll love her. And boy was she right. It was Ava’s 4th time being brought back to the humane society but definitely her last. I went home with my baby girl that day.
4 years later I went back and adopted my Lucky, who came off the love train.
Thank you huron valley for everything you do!
We decided that our 15 year old cat needed a younger partner to perk her up. We immediately thought that the Humane Society of Huron Valley was the way to go with their location Tiny Lions. We had a great experience from start to finish and my boys were able to bond with Swift in a comfortable environment so that we could really see what she was like. We appreciated how friendly everyone was and that Swift was truly ready for adoption including her microchip. We plan to adopt again soon and won’t hesitate to return to HSHV.
We adopted our sweet dog Milo (formally Sterling) about a week ago. The staff was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The facility was also very clean. The website is pretty well updated with description about the adoptable pets which helped us determine which dog we wanted to visit based on our family’s lifestyle. The walking path at the facility was also a nice way to spend time with him to see if we wanted to move forward with the next steps. After our visit we took advantage of the sleepover option with Milo which gave us the opportunity to get to know him a little more before making the decision to adopt. The whole process was great. It has only been a week but we feel like he will make a wonderful addition to our family.
I adopted Speedy from HSHV in October 2011. Adopted at the age of 6, he’s now 16 year old senior boy who still has the spunk and sass of a pup. He is a terrier through and through. He is the best cuddle bug a human could ask for and brings us so many smiles every day. I still remember visiting him and when he relaxed in my arms and hid his muzzle under my elbow, I knew I loved him. I thank HSHV for bringing joy to the lives of so many pets and their owners.
Absolutely amazing adoption experience from start to finish. Not only was everyone incredibly nice, helpful and informative but the place itself is clean, organized and offers a variety of canine services. Our family adopted a puppy on 10/01/2021 and we will continue to take him their for vet services. Highly recommended!!!
My 13 year old son is part of their excellent Junior Volunteer program. They do a great job helping animals AND kids!
I have 4 colonies of cats I take care of. They are all spayed and neutered and fed daily. I came to feed my biggest colony one morning and someone had dumped a mother cat and 9, 4 month old kittens at my colony!!! I was in tears, there is no way I could take them to my house and I could not leave them at my colony for fear my resident cats would run them out. I called HVHS and told them my situation. They said I could bring them to their facility the next day. The kittens and the mother were all friendly so I knew they were adoptable.
I took them to HVHS the next day and they welcomed them and said they didn’t have any kittens right then so they would get a lot of attention. I took them on a Saturday and by Monday the kittens were all spoken for. HVHS even made a video of the kittens while in their care and put it on their website. It was so awesome to see the kittens so happy and being well cared for. I left a donation and thanked them immensely for helping me out in a difficult situation. I love HVHS, they have such a wonderful facility and really care about the animals!!!!
We adopted an adorable sweet old pup & we love him. He was saved by HVHS and they brought him back to health.
I volunteer at HSHV as a dog walker, and have nothing but good things to say about this shelter. The volunteer program is exceptional, with many volunteers staying on for years. I have also adopted 3 dogs and 2 cats over the years, and am so impressed with the excellent care they received. Thank you HSHV for your commitment to the animals.
Humane Society of Huron Valley is an amazing organization with wonderful employees that go above and beyond to care for animals.
11 years ago I adopted an English lab the shelter named Louis. He was a stray picked up in Whitmore lake and never claimed by his owners. He was said to.be dog agressive. He was not. He adjusted well to our dachshund and other lab.
I've had pets for 55 years.
We took him home and named him Blu. He was the greatest gift ever. Gentle giant (139lbs),loving, house trained, stayed close, loved kids, loved the other dogs too. Could have cared less about the cat!
He was in pretty bad shape and only expected to live about a year or two. We had him 7 years and absolutely loved every minute of it. Here we are 5 years after his passing and what we wouldn't give to snuggle him, smell him and hear him talk to us. There's always that one who leaves a footprint on your heart. We now have another English lab named Violet who is now 4 yrs old. She's more energetic, smart, well behaved and We love her too❤️ we also have a mini dachshund named Abby who is now eleven ! Thank you Huron valley for giving us this boy! Blu was. Our second lab from Huron valley. Indigo.is now 14 years old (adopted at 4 months old and our daughter still has her with her ❤️
Over Covid my kids were so lonely for a friend. So they talked me into getting a cat. We went to Tiny Lions and they fell in love with a tiny black kitten. He has brought us all such joy. We use the Huron location for all our Vet needs and the staff is caring and knowledgeable. We love all the great things the Human Society does to help Michigan animals. Thank you.
I am a 10 year volunteer at HSHV and have adopted my lovable dog from this shelter. HSHV is a caring shelter and a dedicated part of their community. They strive to be the best at what they do and always welcome suggestions to be better. A walk thru their building says it all. You can see the level of care as it is clean and the animals are happy and healthy. I recommend a visit and you just may find your new best friend!
Adopted a cat and dog from this shelter. Great people passionate about helping animals. Great programs like having kids read to the animals, movie nights, and the Love Train that brings up animals from high kill rate shelters to be adopted in southeastern Michigan.
We have adopted animals from HSHV since the ‘80’s and it’s always a great experience! Our latest is a Love Train pup we got in March 2021.
We have adopted all three of our dogs from HSHV, and also volunteer as fosters. It is an amazing organization that truly cares about all of the animals that come through the doors.
HSHV is definitely the best animal rescue I’ve ever interacted with, having adopted and volunteered there, and used their vet clinic. Every part of the operation is top notch! When guests visit from out of town, I love taking them for a tour!
Also forever grateful to them for connecting me with many beloved cats and dogs, including my first dog, the supreme Rumpelstiltskin, adopted in 1994.
They are the best. We got our puppy through HVHS and I will continue to go there to rescue an animal.
My wife and i adopted our amazing puppy boots(formerly bunting) from HVHS and are so glad for the work they do rescuing these dogs and providing top notch care and attention to them. Their childrens programs will definatly be something my wife snd i send our kids to when he have some.
We rescued our baby girl from here about a year ago. She was healthy and happy thanks to all of the love and care she received after being transported from TN. We are so grateful for the work they do with animals and helping them find furever homes.
Love love love HSHV!!! The staff are always friendly, everything is always clean, the animals are happy! They’ve helped me out in so many ways with their various programs! They also hooked me up with a couple of my favorite animals!
I just adopted a sweet, happy dog from the Human Society of Huron Valley! The front desk was welcoming and super helpful and the dog and cat shelters looked well maintained. So happy we got to add the perfect dog to our family.
They were great taking in a stray cat that showed up at our door, the same day I called, even though it was Sunday :)
In short, the Humane Society of Huron Valley is fantastic. They have many outreach programs, help local wildlife, host training sessions and offer support to families. They are on social media continually engaging with the public, creating trust, sense of community, visibility and transparency. The Humane Society of Huron valley is a leader and among the best of the best shelters for animals in the entire country. We adopted 2 dogs from them in 2014 and 2016 and supported them ever since, even after moving away from the area.
I adopted my pup, Zeus, from Huron Valley in April. My day there was so positive! It was so clean, the staff were so friendly and so caring and I have nothing but amazing things to say. I love HSHV!
We adopted our cat from HSHV several years ago. They made the process easy while making sure she was going to a great home. We used their vet clinic for her follow up visits where she got great care.
I adopted my dog Baby a few years ago at the HSHV. The staff and whole adoption process was easy and informative.
We have adopted two kittens from the Humane Society in the last year, and couldn’t be happier towards their effort to help us find the perfect match. The staff really loves and cares for their animals, and goes above and beyond to make sure the pets are happy and healthy before they find their forever home.
I’ve been a long time supporter and past volunteer at HSHV for years. They are an ethical, kind, caring charitable organization who care deeply about animals and not just cats and dogs; farm animals, wildlife, pet birds, ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs, ducks and so much more. I was lucky enough to adopt “Piggy Smalls” two years ago. He is smart, sensitive, playful and so protective of his goat harem;). I can’t imagine life without this goofy dude and it would not have been possible if HSHV hadn’t saved him, cared for him and helped facilitate the right adoption situation. They are amazing.
We found our crazy guy, Ryder there 4 years. He was a 1 year old very energetic hound/rot mix to our 3 aches where he thrived! He has been a joy and loving pet that we had to give him a little sister. We brought home our Rosie last year when she was only 8 months old. I liked to thank everyone who helped us find our lovable pets. They were all very compassionate and patient with us in our searches. Our next pets will definitely be from Huron Valley.
They do it all, shelter, adoption, health care, spay/neuter clinic and offer great community resources by providing conferences pertaining to human/animal interactions. Their fundraisers engage the community and are FUN. Excellent all around facility and mission.
HSHV is great. We used to bring our other dog to the clinic and they ultimately helped us to know when it was time to say goodbye. They were so supportive, and sent a sympathy card later. We felt their love.
Staff members helped me find my perfect match 7 years ago and we are still living a great life together!
This is an extraordinary shelter. They love every single animal that comes through their doors and they work so hard to make sure each one gets placed in the best, safest, most loving, appropriate home. They do an incredible amount of community outreach and they are tireless in their mission to take care of animals.
My dog Rocksand and I took the Reactive Rover class,it was so helpful and informative.The instructor Ms Wolf was very knowledgeable,she helped us take an unwanted dog,who sat in the shelter for 10 months to a loving companion.
We adopted our Buckley from HVHS’s love train program and they were wonderful. We continue to use their veterinary services too!
We adopted from HSHV! Even before we were ready to adopt, I was able to walk through with kiddos and take a look at all the amazing animals. The staff are so kind and helpful and it's clear their top priority is the welfare of the animals. You can always see volunteers playing with the animals, walking dogs, etc. Furthermore, we have used the veterinary clinic for our big dog who is very anxious. They go above and beyond to make it a smooth experience. I would recommend them over and over and over.
For HVHS to be as busy as they are, they still have it together, it’s a great animal rescue shelter and I’m so glad that I got my Ruby there (my cat)... she rescued me!
These amazing people put in so much love into their work it shows in everything they do. From caring for abandoned pets, finding them loving forever homes, and caring for their every need emotionally and physically until they finally get home. They even help people simply looking for advise such as vet recommendations, food, and care for their own pets. Truely selfless humans.
Wonderful place they truly love the animals that come in there.They do everything in there power to make successful adoptions
Huron Valley Humane Society is the best shelter we’ve worked with in southeast Michigan. The kennel is top notch for the rescued pups while they wait to find home. The staff are so knowledgeable and friendly and SO willing to answer tons of questions about acclimating your new family members (or veteran residents). Their behavior helpline for adopters is a super helpful service. They really help support you and the animals through the whole adoption process and beyond. What a great team!!
I just adopted yesterday and they were so friendly and helpful. I am so thankful to all of the workers for all of their help.
Adopted my precious black & tan beagle Ollie (Sammy) from HSHV in 2009. He's the "Sherriff" of our little horse farm including 2 other dogs + 2 cats. HSHV couldn't have been more professional, clean, informative & thorough in their adoption process. Incredible shelter!
A very deserving rescue. They do so much to help the animals, They are a no kill shelter and that counts so much.
Couldn’t be nicer people who love what they do. If an animal sticks around long enough it gets the royal treatment. They have huge hearts for those that are, hurt and abandon.
Fantastic shelter. Always willing to go the extra mile to do what’s best for the animals. I’ve seen this first hand many times as a foster parent volunteer for HSHV. I couldn’t help nearly as many kitties as I have without the shelter providing some of the crucial supplies needed to care for these babies. Supplies that they get mostly from generous donations from the community.
I love HVHS, they have helped so many animals to find homes. I myself have adopted 3 senior cats and they have been amazing furbabies. They care about all animals! They're the best.
Absolutely amazing organization! We adopted a love train puppy in January 2019. HSHV was very supportive throughout the whole process. It is amazing seeing them give these Tennessee pups the chance they deserve! We can’t thank you enough for rescuing our Ivy! She has truly been the light of our life!
We adopted our puppy from the Huron Valley Humane Society, and it was a seamless process all the way through. They save dogs from kill shelters in other states and give them a chance to find a loving family. Their COVID procedures also made us feel safe. We are so happy with Finnick, our pup!
Great communication and amazing continuous effort to promote creative community engagement. Their Jr. Volunteers program is one all rescues could use as a model! The facility is also very clean and well-managed. All these things allow them to help as many pets in need as possible! Thank you!
We got our dog there 3 years ago - we love HSHV for the great services they provide for the animals in our community.
I have adopted 5 pets from them over the years, and cannot say enough positive things about them. I have been especially impressed with their Love Train program (bringing dogs up from down south where the shelters have high kill rates) and their affordable vet care!
We have adopted 2 dogs from their Love train program, that transports dogs from the south. We have also enjoyed working with trainers and taking classes. This is a great organization. We try to donate each year.
We have adopted two dogs from HSHV over the years. Great facility and staff, with wonderfully cared for animals. Thank you for all of you hard work!
There can never be enough said about HSHV as to what they do for lost, abandoned, abused, injured or surrendered animals. Every story or comment written tells of their commitment, love, patience and determination to care for and/or place these wonderful babies in loving homes, or back into their natural habitat. I work in the court system and witness firsthand the incredible and difficult work they do. I have two dogs that are rescues and wouldn't have it any other way. So proud to call HSHV "ours"! And the Love Train...a miracle for all these sweet babies (and adults) in high kill shelters that are saved and adopted to great homes.❤
I adopted Cooper from Huron Valley Humane Society 14 years ago, he passed last year. He was my best friend and I miss him but I am very thankful I had the chance to have him in my life which would not have been possible without you guys. Thank you.
The rate at which they are able to find homes for all types of animals is impressive. They’re truly doing great work!
When I was looking for a companion, when I needed a vet, when I found a lost cat, when my dog was lost... All these times HSHV came to my rescue. Sometimes I help as a foster. Sometimes I see their help to rescue a lost animal. HSHV is always there, ready to help m
I have worked at the Humane Society of Huron Valley (I’m a relief veterinarian) and I believe they have very high standards. I also adopted a dog from there. It was a great experience and whenever someone asks me the best place to get a new pet I recommend HSHV.
HSHV is my happy place! I look forward to taking my baby Bailey to the clinic and interacting with their loving staff. They recognize and know her name when we just stop in without an appointment to use the scale. This agency provided me with the love of my life and I will forever be indebted to them.
We’ve adopted one Love Train puppy and two gerbils from HSHV and we’re extremely happy with all of our interactions. The animals were well cared for and we received great support during and after the adoptions.
This such a wonderful place!! Saving lives each and every day of innocent animals that deserve love!
Humane society of Huron valley is one of the best shelters around. I do a lot of TNR and have colonies I feed every day. Unfortunately I get kittens and cats dropped of at my colonies and I can not re home them all. So I have taken many to HSOHV and they have always taken them in and been so positive with me about it. I always leave a donation and thank them for being there for all of these abandoned animals. They are really an asset to all who need them.
I adopted my wonderful cats, Kate and Drew, from the Humane Society of Huron Valley in 2009 and was so impressed with the professional staff, the facilities, and the adoption process. This humane society is absolutely awesome in providing essential services to our animal friends and to us humans!
My family has adopted a puppy from Huron Valley Humane Society and received excellent help in picking out a puppy and learning about the breed. The people there are very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend this shelter to everyone.
This shelter is top notch. Clean, bright, friendly, the animals are well cared for and get adopted fast.
What more could you ask for from a shelter!
I so appreciate having this resource in our community. Knowing that animals in need will be cared for until they are able to find their fur-ever home, without a time limit hanging over their heads, is so reassuring. Aside from the basics one would expect from a humane society, they are also there to help with wild animals in need. Over the years we have made calls at all hours about an injured animal we have found, and someone always comes to pick them up so they can get the care they need.
We have adopted from the humane society of huron valley twice and both times had wonderful experiences. They have so many great programs in the community to help animals get adopted and ensure the best care of the animals.
I have volunteered at HSHV for more than 12 years, and continue to be amazed by the caring people, the dedication of employees and volunteers, and the wonderful processes and results. They do an amazing job to save animals and find them loving homes. The foster program is especially effective and loving in saving and socializing animals. I also donate as much as i am able, to help them accomplish their mission.
We adopted our Rescue Waggin’ pup from HSHV and are so thankful. This is a wonderful animal shelter full of amazing, caring people. They not only care for, rescue and find animals great homes, but they do so much more in and around the community!
This no kill shelter is the best! I’ve adopted several cats from them over the past 25 years. Love their communal cat rooms where you can just sit & observe, and let the cats come to you. My last 2 chose me that way.
Caring, dedicated staff who carefully screen potential pet adopters, and truly care about each and every animal in their care.
This place rocks! Takes in many animals and cares for them. Highly recommend them for all you fur babies, big and small! ❤️
The people here care deeply about the animals in their care.
I volunteer here and they are great. The other volunteers are caring individuals that have the best interests of the animals at heart.
In addition to taking care of the animals they have, they have a great veterinary clinic with good veterinarians on staff, offer low cost vaccinations for pets, provide pet food for those who can't afford it (Bountiful Bowls), an active Trap, Neuter, Release program and offer free animals under specific circumstances: barn cats are free, as are senior cats and dogs free to senior citizens. A first class organization. I love my humane society.
Oh, and I adopted my cat from here, too.

I volunteer here and I also got my cat here. Everyone is so caring for the animals and very friendly. I enjoy volunteering at their cat cafe because everyone who comes there is so joyful about getting to spend time with the cats. It's a great idea that pays off for the cats (they get to play with people) and for the potential adopters who can see how they might bond with a cat in a more realistic setting.
I also volunteer at the Vet Clinic at HSHV, doing administrative work and they are my vet for my cat. One of the primary things I do is to call people and remind them of upcoming appointments. Based on the conversations I have with them, they like bringing their animals there, too.
The staff I work with both at the cat cafe and the clinic are great caring people as well. I am really happy with what this organization does within the community to increase awareness of the pets available for adoption.
I'm a current foster with Humane Society of Huron Valley and am a potential adopter. From the foster side, the shelter has been very organized and professional. I received a home visit check, application check, and an orientation to get me started. The foster manager is dedicated to her work and cares very much for all the foster animals. I have had so much support with my first foster kitten with ringworm. The shelter provided me with all the information in great packets, the PPE to keep me safe from ringworm and all the needs the kitten wanted! I am currently fostering two amazing kittens (Sokka and Suki) and we have received just as much attention and support as we deal with common problems like diarrhea and weight loss. While fostering is always a bittersweet experience, I know that HSHV will be able to find them the homes they deserve!
As a potential adopter during COVID-19, the shelter does its best to remain a safe environment. By limiting building capacity to 20 people, providing my boyfriend with a mask when he forgot one and limiting families in smaller rooms. While we haven't found the cat for us yet, HSHV was definitely a positive experience with caring volunteers providing us information and a front desk staff who were very upfront about medical and behavioral needs of specific cats.
I've worked with several rescues over the last few years in different capacities, as a volunteer, as a foster and as an adopter. Out of all the rescues that I've worked with, Humane Society of Huron Valley far exceeds what I would have expected could be possible. They have a dedicated team of volunteers and staff and the shelter has programs like 2 for 1 Kittens to encourage homes to adopt two kittens for a happier environment. Their programs like Love Train, their Cat Cafe, and TNR program further expands their reach to the feral cat colonies and benefiting high kill shelters in Tennessee. To boot, they provide educational materials to raise awareness about animal welfare issues such as industrial farming.
Love animals!! They do everything they can to care for, feed, comfort, heal and love animals. Going above and beyond is just a normals days work for the employees, the veterinarians and the volunteers.
An abandoned kitten found his way to our house and hearts. We took him to HVHS for shots, a chip and neutering. They did a great job!
We just adopted our 2nd dog through HVHS and are so thankful for all the love & joy both pups have brought us. HVHS goes above and beyond with the animals they care for and do an amazing job of finding them loving homes!
We adopted our dog, Chip, (formerly Jonathan), from the Love Train a little over two years ago. He is the best dog we could ever ask for! There are so many wonderful programs for students and they truly care about all of their animals - including rescuing as many as possible. The place is always very clean and the animals are well cared for and loved. I highly recommend them.

I have brought several stray cats into HSHV, and I have had my cats spayed and neutered there. They offer such important services to our community, and they just couldn't be better!
Such knowledgeable and loving staff! The shelter is the cleanest I have ever seen, it even smells clean! After our first adoption of Gump in January of 2018, we decided to exclusively “shop” at HVSV and have adopted Jenny and Minnie since. We love our three rescue pups and recommend our favorite shelter to everyone we meet that is looking for a new addition to their family.
Weve adopted two dogs from this facility. The experience has always been top notch. The facility is clean and you can tell the animals are well cared for and loved during their time at the facility. We continue to use the facility’s vet clinic and are also very happy with it
The facility is fantastic, for humans, but especially for the animals. I have had positive experiences adopting from HSHV. Plus, their vet services are top notch, whether you adopted from their, or elsewhere. They have many interesting programs to participate in, for many ages. And they have a very special store to purchase the unique items you might be interested in! They have various opportunities for volunteering, and they will train you too! I love having the HSHV as a service in my community!
We had an incredible experience with the Humane Society of Huron Valley. We called them and brought in a wounded young raccoon that we trapped in our back yard. The kindness was so evident for this scared wild thing. So relieved to have them take over!
I adopted a cat from HSHV a little over a month ago. The adoption process was simple and all the workers I came into contact with were very nice! I would definitely recommend HSHV to anyone looking to adopt an animal.
We adopted two kittens (sisters) from them recently and everyone there was so great! We could tell they really cared about the animals and restrictions due to the pandemic didn't stop them from being attentive and friendly.
We Adopted our older dog from HSHV.
They were great to us and provided great care and included initial health services. The Vet Cinic has been wonderful and affordable
I adopted my dog six years ago, and continue to visit this place for affordable vaccination. HRHS is the best place to meet your furry friends. The staffs are caring the shelter animals with love. I make small donations every month, and that is the most worthy spending.
I can't even remember how many times The Humane Society Of Huron Valley has helped me and animals in need. I think they are the best Humane Society on the planet!
We have supported HSHV for years and get our pets there. They are great to work with and take good care of the animals.
I’ve donated food to this shelter multiple times and everyone has always been so friendly! The facility is always very clean and the animals seem well cared for!
My dog Vince was very ill when he was brought into the shelter. He spent 6 months there getting nursed back to health. I will be forever grateful they did not give up on him. We had 7 wonderful years together. He taught me to love pits and 4 more have followed him into my home and heart.
They do great things for the animals in need. I have donated to this organization for several years because of their genuine love of animals. My daughter attends the walk and wag event every year and she works hard to get contribution's for them
We got our puppy here, took her to puppy training here, and go to the vet here. Won’t go anywhere else.
I have adopted six kitties total in my life from HSHV. Two were awesome cats that helped my grandparent's chipmunk problem and four have been my barn cats from their Barn Cat Program. I love the BCP, because HSHV gives cats who can't hack it in the house a chance at an awesome life. My furballs are spoiled rotten and so social. The best part... I ONLY HAVE TO CLEAN A LITTER BOX IN THE WINTER! :) Thank you, HSHV for my darlings!
I had the awesome opportunity to volunteer here for almost a year and it was such an amazing experience. Everyone I worked with went above and beyond to take care of these animals and give them the love and attention they so desperately need. Wonderful place!
This charity has provided me with amazing pets, as well as quality vet services and support. They really go out of their way to educate and be involved with the community, and they work so hard to help as many animals as possible. I feel so fortunate to have HSHV so close to me!
Adopted a dog in 2000 & a cat in 2017. Staff were friendly & helpful in 2000, which is why we chose to adopt again from HVHS in 2017. Did not disappoint! I appreciate the volunteers that make HVHS so great!
I have been adopting from HSHV for over 25 years. They do such great work and really put the animal care first! Thank you for all you do and all the animals you help.
Worked here as a volunteer a few years ago. HSHV keeps immaculate facilities with superb veterinary care for every animal it takes in. The staff and volunteers are extremely helpful, polite, friendly and ALWAYS smiling. I have been a monthly supporter for years just thinking that if something should ever happen to me my dogs will be in the best of hands.
HVHS does an outstanding job of managing their animals, helping them find homes and running a spectacular volunteer program. Not to mention how great their social media management is to help dogs get homes faster and keep their followers up to date with information.
I’ve adopted two dogs from them and they do wonderful work saving animals lives and finding homes for them as well.
I adopted my sweet dog from HSHV. The Humane Society of Huron Valley deeply cares for animals as is evident from a visit. The animals are well taken care of and loved. They help families find the best animal match for their household so that the pet can thrive.
Compassionate and expertise care and adoptions. They offer a full range of services for the animal-loving community.
I took my cat in for a checkup she was really skinny and wasn’t eating unfortunately she was put down she was full of cancer but the staff was so compassionate and caring!!!! When I took my 2 new babies in to be spayed they treated them so nice i love HSHV
My 19 year old daughter has volunteered at HSHV since 2014 and has loved every experience. We recently signed us to be a foster family and have had a very enriching experience. The staff is loving and organized. We are so appreciative to have HSHV near us to help animals find loving homes.
I adopted my tortoise from The humane society of Huron valley. It was a great experience and she’s a treasured family member! Thank you HSHV for everything you do to care for the animals!
HSHV truly cares about each animal. As a volunteer, I see the staff and other volunteers know the animals individually and form strong attachments. I don't feel bad leaving when my shift is over because I know the animals are good hands.
HSHV provides animals with a second chance at finding their perfect family. Our boy rescued us as much as we rescued him when we adopted him, thanks all to HSHV!
We have adopted two dogs from HSHV, both Love Train puppies brought in from Tennessee, where they didn't have a chance. HSHV is doing such wonderful work for local animals as well as for animals in need in other parts of the country who are able to find loving forever homes here thanks to HSHV! We are so grateful that our Mystic and Loki were given this chance at life and were able to join our family!
I volunteer here and and I have adopted a puppy from this organization !!! The staff is friendly, and they take amazing care of the animals that come in to the shelter.
HSHV does great work! They get Love Trains in from all over and all these wonderful furbabies get adopted.
They are the go-to place in the Detroit area for animal welfare. They take animals that come from shelters that euthanise and have amazing programs for adoption.
They have the Love Train, which is a very popular program. Their transport vehicle comes to our area and takes puppies up to their shelter to be adopted out to pre-screened good homes. Where I live in Tennessee people don't spay and neuter their dogs like they should. People also ignore the statewide leash law and let their dogs run loose to fight and breed indiscriminately. Some ignorant fools even abandon their dogs' litters in the woods or anywhere they can get away with it. Our HARTT rescue takes in these pups (and sometimes the parents) and provides fostering and vet care until they are able to transport to HSHV, where they are adopted out quickly. I am a disabled, retired senior and have briefly fostered for HARTT and they went up to HSHV. It makes my day when I see what great lives these dogs and pups are having after being adopted by families that truly want and care for them. Here are two pics of a canine family I fostered briefly. Daddy Fred is in the first pic, and Momma Loretta and their pups are in the next pic. All of them went up on the Love Train, and were adopted out through HSHV.
I adopted my kitten from here a few years ago and was a dog walking volunteer. Their staff truly works to educate the public and their volunteers about animals.
I tell all my friends and family how great the Humane Society of Huron Valley is, even to friends who live out of state! I adopted my senior cat from HSHV, and she received excellent veterinary care with the HSHV vets, even during the COVID-19 pandemic. When my vet and I decided it was time to humanely euthanize my cat due to worsening terminal illness, both my cat and I were treated with so much respect, compassion, and dignity. End of life care isn't usually what people think of when they choose a vet, but HSHV's knowledge and kindness meant the world to me.
HSHV works tirelessly to make sure each animal that enters their doors ends up in the right home. They remain a safe, non-judgmental place for all, no matter the circumstances. HSHV is a very important part of our community.
The work they do is fantastic. Not only pets but their handling of wild animals as well. Not only do they place 1000s of animals each year but they offer classes and have an onsite vet.
The staff is amazing. All such dedicated individuals. Wonderful.
We adopted our beautiful 12 year old Border Collie, Joey, in January of 2020 from HSHV. She had been surrendered by her former family due to a change in living situations and was completely shattered at the shelter. I am a volunteer at HSHV and was planning to take Joey home for a weekend "shelter break". When I came to pick her up, I was told that Joey had so worried the staff that she had been taken out of the shelter for sleepovers at multiple staff members' homes during her 10 days at the shelter to help her get through the trauma. One of the staff members (Sam!) had personally arranged for Joey to be transferred to a foster-based Border Collie rescue that would have allowed her to escape the stress of the shelter while waiting for her forever family. Luckily, I managed to steal Joey away for her weekend shelter break before she was transferred since we never took her back! We knew we were adopting her within a few hours of having her at our house and rushed in as soon as HSHV opened on MLK day to finalize the adoption! In the last six months, Joey has turned into a completely different girl. She loves people (including her young human cousins) and follows her two energetic doggie sisters around everywhere. My husband and I will be forever grateful to HSHV for caring so much about our sweet senior girl Joey and doing everything they possibly could to help her heal from the trauma of her surrender.
I’ve used the services of their wildlife department a couple of times, once for a hurt Rabbit, the other time for a carrier Pigeon I found lethargic. Both times they were very professional, taking the time to answer my questions and showing great care to both upon intake. It’s not just cats and dogs that are showed kindness.. It’s all creatures great and small
The staff knows the animals in their care very well. They’ve been able to help me choose dogs that will match my lifestyle & be a good fit in my home. They do amazing work!
The staff of this humane society is the most professional and empathetic ever. I’ve adopted twice and had to surrender a pet once which made me feel terrible but everyone handled the situation in a way that made me understand they grasped my situation and had no judgements.
Hshv saved a 5 month old puppy after she was beaten with a tire iron. Despite everything she went through including her leg amputated she became a therapy dog and loves every one.
We brought home our Daisy from here in March. They were wonderful and she is the perfect fit for our family.
Humane Society of Huron Valley was there when we needed some joy back in our lives.
Our sweet fur babies both passed away suddenly in January & February 2019. My husband and I had both "our boys" since they were 4 months old, and were completely devastated by their passing. Our young girls (5 & 11) had never known life without them. To say our family was crushed, would be an understatement.
The day after our 2nd dog had passed away, my oldest daughter had a 2 day camp. While there, another chaperone told me about HSHV and that this week there would be a Love Train. We got home from camp Friday afternoon, and at 4pm, all 4 of us took a drive out to see who might even be left.
Thats when we met Reggie. It was almost 5pm and he was still crazy excited. We went into a small play area and he jumped on us and all 4 of us cried because he was what we needed. He's Bowser now.
In November 2019, we had to make the very hard decision to send our 13 year old dog over the rainbow bridge. It was stressful and our emotions were all over the place. We made it from November to January before we went to the next Love Train. In January 2020, we needed to complete our family. We found Jolly Rancher. If we thought Bowser was chaos... Jolly Rancher was complete havoc. We decided he needed to come home too. He's now Gimli.
We cannot thank HSHV for having the Love Train, and their staff for being so kind and informative as we worked our way through with tears, filling out paperwork, listening to instructions and finally walking out the doors twice with the best boys we could ask for.
Thank you!!!
They are a phenomenal shelter. I have volunteered and adopted from here and I recommend it to anyone in Michigan. HSHV really does their absolute best for the animals.
HSHV is a caring wonderful humane society that puts the utmost thought and care into each and every animal. I saw this as a past volunteer and adopter of animals.

I have both volunteered with and adopted from HSHV. It’s an amazing organization, dedicated to animal welfare, advocacy, and educating the public. And they partner with other organizations to help animals in need. That’s how I got my Iggy Pup - from HSHV’s Love Train. Attached is Iggy and his bestie Jackie, also adopted from HSHV as a puppy.
Great organization. My daughter volunteers as a JV volunteer and has really enjoyed the experience!

Love the Humane Society of Huron Valley! Every staff meme we we’ve talked with has been amazing and so caring about our pup! In addition to providing us with our doggo, they also provide excellent service and help! It’s been a pleasure working with them.
A long time ago, my husband found a newborn kitten in the ditch. He followed the kittens development all the way until it was adopted (we already had three). Since then, we’ve adopted one dog and two cats from HSHV and we use them for our vet. We appreciate what they do for the animal community.
I love working with this group. They have a beautiful, clean facility where they care for all kinds of small animals. Farm animals and wild animals can get care too at other facilities. The staff is friendly and helpful and really appreciate the volunteers. The animals have a great chance of finding their forever homes with the help of HSHV!
Everyone at HVHS is so friendly and dedicated to all of the animals (and people) they help. They are an important part of the community!
We adopted our sweet Tillie from HSHV last July. She is such a sweet girl. She has brought our family such joy! Thanks to the crew at HSHV for all they do to provide great care and homes for so many animals in need!
I've been adopting animals from this group for over 35 years. The improvements from when I first met them are enormous and astounding. To have them go from a totally depressing building to the clean, airy, happy place they have now raises my spirits every time I think of them. I'm getting older but hope to still get in a couple more adoptions!
HSHV is the best humane society I've ever visited. I've adopted 3 animals from them. The facility is always clean and well staffed. We have also used the veterinary clinic, training classes, and animal behavior hotline. The advice I hot from the be for specialist saved us from having to remove our cat from our home.
In 2009, we literally stumbled upon Rocky in the very last kennel at the old HSHV shelter. He was a 4-year old stray and upon seeing him, it was love at first sight. The adoption process, training classes, and several follow up calls to the veterinary clinic were handled as though we were dealing with old friends!
Rocky may have had a rough time prior to finding his way to Huron Valley, but during his short stay there he was treated with lots of care and love.
Thank you for caring for him and all the others that enter your facility.
Rocky Carlington 2005 - 2020
HSHV is great I have adopted manny animals from there and used their low cost veterinary clinic numerous times, everyone is nice and friendly and they take excellent care of the animals.
We adopted our sweet Pixie girl in January of 2017, and we’re so grateful for our best friend! This sweet older lady still acts like she’s 5 years old ( she’s 9 ), she’s very lively and we’re so happy w our decision. HSHV helped us w our decision of wanting to adopt our first pit, and now we only want pits! Thank you HSHV for giving us our baby ❤️
I adopted a puppy from the love train 6/26/20. The whole process was wonderful! Everyone was so helpful and Huron Vally takes great care of all the animals. The cages are set up nice and clean for the animals.
I volunteer as a dog walker. I have been involved in rescue for a long time. HSHV takes excellent care of every sweet creature in their care. Dogs, cats, birds, turtles, rabbits........they rescue every animal in need of help. They don't give up, they will do whatever it takes to save animal. The shelter is amazing clean, and the residents there are well fed, get medical care, have plenty of clean water and comfortable beds. They are given tons of toy and treats. Most of all, they are safe and loved until they find their forever home.
We adopted our friendly Siamese there 10 years ago. It is such an inviting atmosphere and they take such lovely care of people and animals. They have a special place in my heart
Many great experiences! I volunteered for many years. I am now a staff member for 6 years. Although I am staff we couldn't do this valuable work without the volunteers, donors, general public and care and support that is given daily! We are all cogs in the wheel!!
I adopted a feral cat with the purpose of having a barn cat to deal with rodents. I followed HSHV instructions on acclimating this cat to his new home. When I let Hobbes out of his 3 week quarantine, he was skittish in the house. Then he was introduced to the outdoors. I didn't expect to see him much. A couple of days later he returned and showed off his first mouse. And he wanted to come in the house. He made friends with my dog and they became BFFs.
This once feral cat has adopted my home and family and his permanent home. All thanks to the expertise provided by the Humane Society of Huron Valley.
They do such good work there.
Thank You!
Got my dog from their love train! Amazing people to work with and helped me through the entire process of my first puppy! They really care about the animals they take of and it shows! Can’t praise them enough! :)
I love it here! As a young teen, I volunteered here and it was such a great experience. Now as an adult, I bring my dogs here. They’re so loving and sweet. 100% recommend
I volunteer here and have adopted from here. They really care about animals and finding them great forever homes!
You would be hard pressed to find a better animal shelter than HSHV! And they are activists for animals in our community as well.
I’ve adopted two cats from this humane society and have never been to a more organized, clean shelter in all my life. HSHV is truly the best shelter in Michigan and a model for other humane societies.
If you have the misfortune of being a stray or unwanted animal, this is the shelter in which you want to be. The facility is beautiful and the staff is caring. The community seems to support the shelter, judging by the amount of donations visible in the donation area. I’m so glad to have this facility in our community !
They go above and beyond to help lost and/ or injured pets. They also have love train adoptions and send out emails with photos of all available pets for adoption. They are top notch in my opinion.
What an amazing place is all I can say. The kindness and care these animals get is second to none. We adopted love train puppy Sable in Oct 2019. What a joy she has brought us. We return regularly either for their excellent veterinary services (Sable loves to go there and goes willingly) and also their training classes. Just a wonderful organization in so many ways! Thank you HSHV for everything you do.
We adopted our new puppy from here during a Love train adoption event. They made the transaction smooth during the adoption
Huron valley humane society are great. I have on more than one occasion had to rescue farrel kittens and took them to Huron valley. My son also had a severely emaciated sick dog running in traffic as they passed. He stopped and the poor baby jumped right into his car. It was before they opened for business so we left a message on their emergency number and they got back to us in a very timely manner. He took the dog to them and they treated this poor baby so beautifully and my son.
HSHV is a great organization and the care of the animals is wonderful. Their volunteers are dedicated and loving as are the staff and vets.
The Humane Society of Huron Valley in Ann Arbor Michigan is an amazing humane society with many outstanding programs. These include TNR, bountiful bowls to provide pet food to families that are struggling financially so they can keep their pets and working with Meals on Wheels to provide food for the animals and their humans. They also have a Love Train that several times a month travels to Tennessee and bring puppies and you dogs to Ann Arbor for adoption. The most incredible statistic however is their 96+% save rate.
As a volunteer, donor and adopter from HSHV, I can only give my highest recommendations to this organization. They are top-notch!
HSHV truly cares about their animals and their customers. They spent lots of time helping me find my new pup and making sure it was the right fit for my family. They are absolutely amazing!
We adopted our puppy Seamus from the HSHV 3 years ago, and the experience was excellent! The staff were kind, and made sure that the process of meeting and adopting him was stress- free for everyone. The love and care they show for their clients, both two-legged and four, is exemplary. I would strongly recommend them to anyone looking to provide a loving home for a happy and well cared for animal!
Got my fur baby there 5 years ago and have been in love ever since! I love what HSHV does in our community!
When we decided we were ready for a dog we took a visit to the HSVA and knew that we were in the right place. The facility is impeccably clean and the staff was more than kind. The animals were all clearly well cared for. We will be back when we are ready for our next furry family member.
Wonderful organization that does a great job at caring for animals. We have really enjoyed the dog training courses offered by HSHV.
HVHS has always helped us spay, neuter, trap and release many feral cats. Without them there would be many more homeless cats.
The staff are so caring and dedicated; and they do whatever they can to help these animals get adopted to good homes. We love our cats!
I am from the area having grown up in Dearborn and these guys are my favorite rescue facility. I follow them faithfully even now living in southern Indiana. They are the best
Great at all they do! We use their veterinary services and have also fostered and adopted. Can’t say enough good things about them.
We adopted our perfect pup from the Love Train through the Huron Valley Humane Society and we couldn't be more happy that we did! The facility is extremely clean and the animals are all well cared for. Everytime we had a question, they always were available to answer them without hesitation and always provided us help! I recommend the Huron Valley Humane Society to anyone looking to rescue an animal!
Always put animal welfare as their top priority. Great care for the animals and a great job matching them to loving homes.
I went with my parents when they adopted their dog from HSHV. We were all impressed at how clean and well organized the facility was. All the staff we came in contact with were super friendly and helpful. We will definitely return when we decide to adopt again and highly recommend anyone looking to adopt to check out HSHV.
We’ve adopted five pets from HSHV over the years and had a great experience each time. Most recently, we were looking to adopt a second dog. HSHV staff was patient and helpful as we looked for a good match for our other senior pup. With their help, we were able to adopt a mellow four-year-old mixed breed dog who is wonderful with our sweet twelve-year-old lab mix.
I adopted a puppy from HSHV’s Love Train in May of 2019 and it was easily one of the best customer service experiences I have ever had. Not only is their facility immaculately clean (seriously, it’s more sanitary than most people’s homes) but their employees and volunteers clearly love what they do. I was somewhat nervous/excited — this was a big decision and life change — but the staff was so warm, thoughtful, and helpful. I ended up choosing our little Junie girl and she has been a true joy in my family’s life. HSHV’s adoption and operating processes are state of the art and very user friendly. I will never adopt a pet from another organization again! HSHV has my heart!!
Twice I've adopted cats from HVHS. Unfortunately, the first kitty passed after 4 years of cancer. But the second is still going strong at age 13. We love her so!
The atmosphere here is so positive and uplifting, and the staff all treat potential adopters and volunteers with so much kindness to get every animal they can adopted. This is such an amazing establishment to volunteer at!
Amazing shelter. I adopted my dog from here. ❤️ They have a clean facility and take the best care of all the animals
I’ve been a volunteer dog walker for about two and a half years. The training I have received is very thorough. From basic to more advanced and optional lectures as well. These are from animal behavioral specialists. I’ve had the opportunity to take dogs to businesses as a good will effort and see them get adopted. The staff is so caring! The shelter is very clean and there’s lots of treats and toys for the dogs. I love volunteering here!
It is a privilege to be a donor along with my wife at the Humane Society of Huron Valley. I am so impressed with how hard they work for animals.
I am a donor and have adopted three wonderful cats from HSHV. The dedication of staff and volunteers alike is deeply impressive.
We adopted our beautiful dog from HSHV and everyone was so kind and knowledgeable. You can tell that they really care here. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We love our Mochi! Thank you!
I have been a volunteer, donor, and adopter. This shelter does an amazing job helping the animals of the community.
I don’t think I’ve ever been to a rescue or Humane Society like this before. Everyone is so friendly & knowledgeable about all the animals. It feels like you’re not in a shelter but visiting a family members house & playing with all their pets. Totally a no stress environment for the fur babes as well as for guests. All rescues, shelters & Humane Societies should have this much love.
Seriously...you guys rock!
I have happily spent the last 7 years as a volunteer at the Humane Society of Huron Valley in Ann Arbor Michigan. My experiences there have been such a variety of activities and emotions with many happy memories as well as many sad memories. By sad memories I refer to watching many of the animals that are turned in by their owners and struggling to adjust. I have spent time in the cages with some of the dogs who have been turned in, and watch them try to figure out where they are and where their family is. Some sit and wait for their owners to come back. The staff does an outstanding job of working with these animals helping them adjust to their new temporary home until that perfect person /family comes in and makes the decision to adopt. Because Huron Valley is such a busy atmosphere there are constant activities going on all the time. I am always impressed how each department works together to ensure all the animals are healthy, trained, exercised daily, fed on a regular schedule, and loved up constantly. Huron Valley also offers many opportunities for children to be involved in activities and training. They are taught by staff members who work with them on handling of the animals, educating them on animal care, and allowing them to spend time sitting with the animals. I enjoy watching our Junior Volunteers( 12 and up) sit with animals as they have such an opportunity to observe the animals and learn how they behave and adjust to their surroundings. The back of the staff is responsible for numerous activities such as working with the animals who are having a hard time adjusting to their new environment at the Humane Society, watching over them to see if any are ill or getting depressed, or just need a little extra attention and love. The Humane Society gets a lot of requests to have the dogs visit local restaurants and businesses. It is a great opportunity to introduce the dogs to outside adventures and new people. One of the great results from these adventures is that many times the animals end up getting adopted by the people that saw them at these interactions. I cannot express enough how impressed I am observing all that goes in at Huron Valley. It is fascinating and gratifying to me how volunteers and staff work so well together to ensure the health and safety of each animal in their care.
Proud of the work being done by so many for the animals, and proud to be a member of the organization’s Visionary Circle to help the most vulnerable.
I adopted a wonderful feline from HSHV. They took him in as a stray found on the street, severey malnourished, matted, and no hair on his ears. When they brough him back to the facility, they weren't sure what was wrong with him. Thin and vomiting, they put him under observation. He started gaining a little weight and stopped vomiting. A month later they put him up for adoption. He was so sweet. He got along with other cats and had already been neutered when they picked him up. I took him home a week later. He weighed all of 8.5 pounds up from 7.25 upon intake and had all his shots. He now weighs 11 pounds, his hair grew back on his ears, and he is so sweet! HSHV does great work saving as many animals as possible. They are a no kill shelter and I donate every month so they can keep saving our furry friends.
We adopted our princess Holly from HSHV almost two years ago. The staff was wonderful. The adoption process was a breeze. We were able to bring in our other two dogs for a meet and greet to make sure it would be a smooth transition.
Always impressed and moved by the outreach and rescue efforts of Humane Society of Huron Valley. The dedication and passion comes through in all it does, and I'm proud to support the organization and and the animals it cares for as much as I can.
I've been volunteering at Tiny Lions since the beginning of 2019. Great staff members...terrific cats and a wonderful opportunity to help animal lovers and animals! Great organization.
My company volunteered at Humane Society for our community service day. We all had so much fun. Everyone was so nice and appreciative of our help.
I visit HSHV often and am always happy to see the animals well-taken care of... I've had two pups from their Love Train and also use their superb veterinary services. The staff are full of energy and extremely helpful. LOVE you guys!
I volunteer, donate and have adopted from HSHV so I've been able to see what a great organization it is from the inside out. Everyone is there for the animals. They are well taken care of and loved until they are paired with the perfect forever family.
As a volunteer. I saw just what a great place HSHV is. The staff there is great and the animals are well cared for. I have adopted dogs from them and they were the best! I also donate to help them keep up the great work they do!!

I got my cat Bandit (previously Sheena) there and have had her for over a year now (Feb 11th). She is my best pal and has grown to be an amazing support cat and so much like her owner. I loved how clean the place was and the amount of cats you could see to find your perfect match. They were helpful with the paperwork and very kind. Taking someone there to find their own furry friend soon and am so excited!
I have volunteered with HSHV for many years as a foster parent. I have seen the veterinarians and staff go to great lengths to provide the best care possible for the animals. The foster program is spectacular. All the resources for the animal is provided and the foster parent just provides a loving home. I know many of the animals I have fostered probably would not have survived if they had not have the ability to get well in a foster home.
I have volunteered and adopted and used clinic . I love how the Humane Society of Huron Valley helps all animals feathered and furred that they possibly can. Their frequent facebook posts and photos are an awesome way to get the message out to save lives. And their special events are unique . Love that they have a love train to help struggling shelters.
Picked out my handsome boy from HSHV. I was just there to look, but I saw him with his cone of shame on and fell in love. His cage card had been taken by another visitor, but the staff searched hi and low for me to find out if he was adoptable and let me visit with him.
I also love that HSHV has a pit bull mix Facebook page that you can join if you adopted from them.
We found our fur babies here. The facility is clean and the staff was amazing! A wonderful experience!
Since I was young we have always gone to HSHV for our four legged family members. They have nothing but loving and supportive staff and volunteers. I adopted my kitten in November 2018 and the entire step of the way, I was given the help I needed to take home my sweet girl. I love everything about the company so much I even started volunteering there!
HVHS has the most amazing staff, animals and even visitors. I love volunteering and meeting people here. Thank you for all the you do!!
I moved back to Ann Arbor from Massachusetts three years ago. Prior to the move, I lost my beloved dog Maizie to lymphoma, following a siege with Cushing's disease and diabetes. When I began to look again for a dog to adopt, I found, to my great dismay and heartbreak that I had suddenly become allergic to dog dander. HSHV has been a life saver in that regard. I can visit, spend time with and give treats to dogs while I go through an allergy injection protocol that will allow me, I hope in the near future, to have a dog again. During this time, I've been able to interact with HSHV's staff and junior and senior volunteers, who are devoted to the welfare of animals who, through no fault of their own, find themselves alone, neglected, or otherwise in need. HSHV is dedicated to restoring the health and hope of these animals and finding them families that will give them the love they deserve. I've seen dogs who were shut down and fearful retain their trust in humans. I've seen dogs whose personalities blossomed under the care of HSHV's remarkable volunteers, including the young volunteers who are learning to be caring and responsible people. The facility itself is state-of-the-art, making the animals stay, whether short or long, the best it can possibly be outside of a loving home. While I wait to be able to have a dog again, and to become a volunteer myself, I give HSHV high marks for their service in saving lives.
I started out volunteering at the shelter doing laundry and visiting with cats. The level of oversight and concern for all the animals in their care is tremendous. Adoptable kittens to senior animals with chronic medical conditions, they handle them all with compassion. I now foster kittens and the resources made available to me through this program are invaluable. Please give them your time or money.
The staff at HSHV helped me to pick out the perfect companion cat for my first cat- Leo. I told them about him and his antics and they were able to name one cat in particular who would get along well with him (because they know their cats that well). Needless to say I took Moonshadow (now Penelope) home that day and after a slow introduction she and Leo are best friends and their personalities fit so well together! They were very helpful and now Penny has a new forever home and a new brother!
I love the Humane Society of Huron Valley! They have reasonable prices and they always take good care of my dogs.
I love volunteering here. I love working with the humane ed department teaching the new generation about shelters and what they can do to help.
We have adopted 6 pets over the years! Each time we were treated with respect from the staff. Highly recommend adopting from HSHV!
We have been supporters of the Humane Society of Huron Valley for many years. My now adult children were among the first to pilot their junior volunteer program, we've attended amazing events, enjoyed vegan potlucks and our family members have all adopted various animal friends from this organization. They are a knowledgable and compassionate staff that goes above and beyond for the animals and we are so grateful for all that they do!
The Humane Society of Huron Valley is exceptional. Not only are they there for the dogs and cats in the area but we live out in the county and saw a raccoon clearly in distress, going around in circles and falling down in the middle of the day. I called the Humane Society and within an hour their staff was out to help this poor sick animal. Turns out it had distemper and would have had a horrible slow death if not for the hardworking, caring, compassionate people that work there.
I have been a volunteer at HSHV since June, 2017 after retiring from teaching. This “job” is priceless. The love, support, care, attention every creature receives is amazing. I look forward to being there every chance I can. HSHV is the best!
Took my cat Sheba to be spayed at the low cost clinic. They took amazing care of her, even though the cost was only $25. Even after care was free. They’re an awesome group, and one of the few no kill shelters here in Michigan. I donate by choosing them as my non-profit group on smile.amazon.com (totally free by the way) and send donations from their wish list at tax time. They even create little wheelchairs for paralyzed animals. How amazing is that?! Highly recommend them!
Their barn cat program is phenomenal for finding homes for cats that don’t fit into traditional adoptions. They care for those cats just as well as any others despite the fact that they charge no adoption fees. They are very knowledgeable about how to help cats make the transition to a new outdoor home as well. We love our barn cat (pictured while still healing from flea infestation and skin allergies)!
HSHV does amazing work, has a great relationship with the community, and never closes their doors on an animal in need.
I have been a volunteer here for over a year, but my history with this humane society goes back almost 20 years. They are such a huge part of this community and they do so much for the animals in their care. I refer all my friends and family here. You can not find a more caring and hard working group of animal right advocates.
I have been a volunteer at this beautiful shelter for over six years. They are a caring and compassionate organization. The shelter truly cares about its staff, volunteers, guests and most especially the animals. I love volunteering here!
HSHV is a state-of-the-art facility, with a dedicated professional staff and scores of volunteers, including the JVs (junior volunteers). It has an attached veterinary office. Dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and the occasional turtle are treated with great kindness in their five-star temporary home. Puppies who arrive on the Love Train are eagerly awaited and quickly adopted, the majority within a day or two of arrival. Adopters take numbers to choose their next family member. Some adult dogs, often pit bull mixes, have a longer stay, but they are worked with, cared for, and socialized until they, too, inevitably find their homes. I recently moved back to Ann Arbor from western Massachusetts, where the shelters simply can't compare in terms of the resources, human and otherwise, that HSHV provides. The best of the best.
I am a former volunteer and have been adopting from HSHV for over 25 years. Currently, I have 2 cats and a dog from this shelter. Compassionate staff and beautiful facility.
An excellent shelter, excellent staff! They find homes for all their rescues, Big and small, take in farm stock and wildlife in need of assistance, find them homes or return them to the wild. Beautiful facility. Sometimes it’s so busy you can’t find a parking spot!
I took my Cindy Lou in because she was very thin. They did blood work gave her fluids and sent me home with special food. Blood work came back normal. She did great for a couple days and quit eating, I took her back a few days later and found out she was full of cancer. They gave me time to decide what I wanted to fo. The were very compassionate and wrapped her in a towel but her in a box and walked her dead body out to my car. They even cried with me.
The Humane Society of Huron Valley is amazing. We have had such positive experiences adopting from them. Friends adopted their adorable (now senior!) puppy years ago, and I remembered how great the process was at HSHV, so when we were thinking about getting a furry family member, we went directly here. My boyfriend and I just recently adopted a kitten from HSHV, and we are so happy (so is the kitten, Ras!). The staff is excellent, and they genuinely care about the animals. I really appreciate that we had a chance to sit down with a volunteer to get all of the info we needed to take our kitten home. We were first-time adopters, and got all of our questions answered. I think Ras, who is sitting with me on the couch as I type, agrees that HSHV is a five-star place!
I came there to adopt a puppy after I saw the love train I had to work till 2 and was worried she wouldn’t still be there so my husband came there as soon as they opened and explained the situation and Huron valley was kind enough to hold her till I got there. I love this place and the workers are awesome
We have two cars adopted, which moved later with us to Sweden. Both cats were well taken care of and we got an enormous amount of help and input as being new cat owners, including first check ups. A year later we found an injured turtle close to a big road, called HSHV for help (didn’t know who else) they came within 30 minutes and picked up with a wildlife expert the turtle. They truely care! We have donated often via their amazon page and believe that everything is well needed and used.
Still years after, we think that is the best non-profit we have ever seen!
Many years ago we adopted our dog, Shadow, from HVHS. The love and joy she brought to our family cannot be expressed in these few words. We more recently adopted, Wiley, the cat. They do an amazing job not only caring for the animals, but also educationing children and adults. There many program enrich our community and our lives.
Have volunteered at HSHV for over 4 years, serve in various roles and love every one. All the volunteers and staff truly care. So very proud of our >97% adoption rate. So very proud of HSHV!
I started volunteering here in January of 2018. It is an amazing place to volunteer and to be a part of such a caring organization. They do so much for animals as well as community outreach and educating the community. If you are looking for a place to adopt an animal or volunteer, please consider HSHV~it is a top notch organization!
As a Mail Carrier I often come across hurt, abused or sick dogs and cats. I call the Humane Society of Huron Valley for help and they always do. There was a dog who's chain was so tangled he was stuck to the ice. A cat that was in distress and many more. They have also helped me reunite lost dogs with their owners more times than I can count. On top of all that they let me adopt my Finny from the Love Train.
I love HSHV! I adopted both of my kitties, Zooey (photo) and Caycee (RIP) from here and they give such great care to all of the animals. I even used their vet care when I had to put my Caycee down after finding out she had cancer. They were so caring and loving during the whole process and even sent a sympathy card to me afterward. I will always adopt from them in the future. Thank you for everything you do for animals.
I recently completed a multi-week dog training class at HSHV and found it to be valuable. My dog has a lot of anxiety with meeting new people and the instructor was understanding and helpful. HSHV also does animal control for the county. I have called them after-hours multiple times over the years to report sightings of stray dogs and they have always called me back right away and followed up. They do a great job managing their Facebook page where they feature animals available for adoption and give a daily update of each animal adopted. I am proud to have them as a part of my community!

HSHV leadership and team are exemplary! Their life affirming philosophy is evident in the true fulfillment of their mission, to save lives. I have been a donor and TNR volunteer with HSHV since 2011. Their TNR program is a best practice and by far one of the best in the country. I myself have brought in over 225 felines through their program for spay/ neuter, shots and any medical care they may require, and many were taken into their shelter for adoption. Since the inception of their program over ten years ago they have spayed/neutered over 11,000 felines, saving tens of thousands of lives, and giving many a second chance at a loving home. I’ve been affiliated with other shelters, and resigned from one board. Not all shelters have life affirming leadership, and HSHV does. I am proud to be a volunteer for HSHV!

HSHV started a TNR (trap, neuter, return) program for community felines 10 years ago to help the felines that are abandoned by irresponsible owners. The model program trains volunteers and assists colony caretakers in humanely trapping the felines and providing spay/neuter, shots and health care and assists the feline caretakers with setting up outdoor housing with straw bedding and food stations . This program was ground breaking and since its inception intakes of homeless felines into the shelter have been reduced by 32%. This means that thousands of healthy felines are saved from euthanasia and spared the harsh, cruel life of of living on the streets. The felines that are abandoned often become weary of humans and therefore are not adoptable, but prefer to live their life outdoors, in their familiar area, under the care and watchful eye of their caretakers. I have been a volunteer in this program since 2013, and I can tell you that the amazing colony caretakers across the Metro Detroit area who care for these felines are truly grateful for HSHV's program to help them care for their colonies, stop the reproduction cycle, keep them healthy and let them live their life out as they know it. This program is the only one like it that I am aware of with a designated TNR room that is heated and air conditioned, provides food, water and potty pads for the felines that come in for spay/neuter. The felines come in and are housed in a clean, comfortable room, they are spayed the next day and after a 24 hour recovery period are returned to their caretakers, who anxiously await their return. In addition, HSHV is an open admission shelter with a 96% save rate. The leadership and staff are amazing and they have a life affirming philosophy that is truly in the best interest of the animals that come through their doors. I am proud to be a volunteer for HSHV and I thank them for all they do for our animals.
I started volunteering with Huron Valley about 3 months ago and I am so impressed with the care they give the animals and the cleanliness of the shelter. I have been to other shelters and they do not give the level of caring that Huron Valley does. Everybody works so hard, it is very impressive.
I just began the junior volunteer program and every time I go to volunteer there, I feel so proud that I am part of this amazing facility. Everyone there is so helpful and the fact that thousands and thousands of animals are helped each year is phenomenal.
I am very impressed by the Humane Society of Huron Valley. I've taken my kids to Tiny Lions twice and it is clean, the staff is friendly, and the cats appear healthy and well adjusted. We also adopted two kittens that are now a year old and a great addition to my family.
I receive veterinary treatment for my 2 dogs here, and they take excellent care of both of them. Thank you HSHV for keeping my babies happy and healthy!
Have adopted 3 of our 4 pets from here. Wouldn't go anywhere else! The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, the building is clean, and there's a huge staff of volunteers who make sure the animals are well cared for during their stay!
I visited HSHV many times looking for just the right cat to be a companion for another stray I took in. One day I saw a cat in a crate and he looked so sad. I went home and while he wasn't quite what I was looking for, I went back. I had many questions about him and the woman at the desk pulled up his file. She was able to give me infornation that made it sound like it might work, and then she added, "He's in the community cat room." With I knew he could be around other cats so I went to visit him. At that time they had just put new cats in the community room so they were keeping visitors out for awhile. I explained there was only one cat I was interested in, so she got permission for me to go in. I went to say hello to my prospect. He came right up to me and followed me back to the bench. He picked me and that was it. I've had Preston two years and he's a great friend. Thanks HSHV!
After losing my beloved senior cat, I spent several weeks at HSHV getting to know several kitties here to see if I was ready to bring a new one into my life. Each time, the staff was caring and helpful in trying to match me up with a personality that would be a good fit for me, even though it took quite some time for me to feel ready. I also had a great time at Tiny Lions, HSHV's cat cafe, which helped with the healing process. Finally, one day, a helpful volunteer who listened carefully to what I was looking for in a cat, introduced me to the kitten who is now Noot. She had been badly injured prior to coming to HSHV, and it was clear that she had been given good care and was on the mend - she would not have survived without HSHV's medical attention. HSHV helped me to continue to care for Noot as she mended, and a dedicated volunteer guided me through introducing her to my resident cat, even apologizing when it took her more than 12 hours to return an email! Now Noot is healed and vivacious and healthy, and I am deeply grateful for the care and attention we both received at HSHV.
I'm a volunteer there and I can honestly say, everyone there works tirelessly and so very hard for all the animals that they care for. I respect all of the staff and the volunteers for their dedication and compassion. I couldn't be prouder than to affiliated with such an outstanding group of people.
My beautiful barn cat named Kat came to me from Huron Valley almost 2 years ago. She keeps the critters away, visits the neighbors and plays with my old English sheepdog. I love watching her play and is the light of my life.
Two years ago my precious Ragdoll passed away and I decided I was too old to take on another heartbreak. I started visiting local shelters to get my 'fuzzy fix' instead. I was so impressed with HSHV (their size, cleanliness, friendliness, save rate, and variety of animals) that I volunteered. I am now a proud cat comforter at the shelter and yup, you guessed it. I am once again owned by a long hair black and white fuzzy ball of energy named Spice. Purrrr.
They do amazing work for so many animals! I'm always surprised at how many animals they are able to place.
We just recently moved in our first home and our kids wanted to get out first dog. We had looked at several animal rescue organizations. We had our home inspected by two rescues. Had several family interviews and was approved by those it organizations. We had spent countless weekends going to adoption events but never found the correct fit for our family. We were not looking for any specific breed or qualification for our new family member, just a loving dog that was good with younger children and could get along with one 16 year old senior cat. One weekend we had visited a different animal shelter and came up empty handed. Feeling lost my husband searched and found huron valley who had just received animals from Alabama via the "love train". At the time we were an hour away. Knowing we would be close to closeing once we got there, we still pushed forward. When we got there the staff was not only understanding but friendly, even though we were close to the end of their day. They let my family go and look around. We fell in love with a 4 month old lab mix. That is not only great with our kids but good with our senior cat. Even after driving an hour away from our home, I will only go to Huron Valley the next time we add a new family member to our house hold.
Volunteering at HSHV has changed my life for the better and has enabled me to act on my passion for animals even as a busy college student. I feel so welcome every time I go volunteer. It is the most clean and well run shelter I have ever been to in Michigan. As a volunteer, it's like being a part of a big, hardworking family. It's amazing to walk in and see all the positive and life changing work going on. I love it here and would recommend it to anyone looking to adopt and volunteer.
I love HSHV! The staff are so kind, and they work so hard to make sure that you go home with the right animal companion. Our most recent adoption from them was Pangur Ban, a beautiful white cat who had been rescued from a cruel situation. The staff at HSHV had already put months into his re-socialization, and as we went through the adoption process they made sure we knew they were there to help us get our new friend adjusted. Other shelters might have given up on this terrified animal, but HSHV doesn't just care for the "easy" ones (like our tabby, Minnie). Now we have a sweet snuggler and playmate for our first cat. We now live near Flint, but I would never dream of going anywhere other than HSHV the next time we're looking for a new pet.
HSHV has wonderful programs to help adoptions such as the Tiny Lions Cafe, game night with cats , the Love Train and pajama parties with pets. They have a great outreach program offering low cost spaying and neutering, vaccinations and microchipping.
Hazel was a year and half, mother of three beautiful kittens when we adopted her. We love her so much. She has finally after six months comfortable that she will be fed. Sadly she was abandoned with her kittens. She has went from 6lbs at adoption to now 10lbs now. She gives us so much joy.
I have volunteered and "shopped" at the Humane Society. I have always, and continue to, marvel at their dedication to the animals.
When trying to adopt I was advised away from some animals (as I am an older, smaller woman and the advisors thought some dogs too aggressive for me).
Its always my first place to shop when looking for a new pet.
I volunteer and foster for this amazing facility. We have two cats from there - one brought in at under a pound and the other a feral kitten through the TNR program. It is a wonderful and happy and professional place where every animal is given the most compassionate and professional treatment.
HSHV is a most outstanding animal shelter. Their work helps not just homeless or unwanted cats and dogs, but also wildlife and even people in the community. They have the highest prosecution rate for animal abuse cases. They provide safe harbor for animals belonging to people whose homes have been destroyed or to people who are victims of abuse. They provide low cost vaccinations at clinics held once monthly 10 months a year. Their Love Train brings cats and dogs from other high kill shelters to find loving homes. Their "save rate" is above 95%.
I found both of my cats at HSHV. They have a wonderful facility and amazing staff. Even though I am no longer in Michigan, the Humane Society of Huron Valley will always have a special place in my heart.
When my husband and I moved half way across the country for graduate school we wanted two new kittens. We looked up shelters in the area and chose to checkout HSHV before any others. During our first visit we were amazed how big and clean the facility was (and still is) and how helpful the staff was. A few months after adopting I decided to volunteer at HSHV since it is such a great shelter. The animals are loved and cared for so well by the staff and other volunteers. We adopted another kitten from them a year after the first two and we plan on rescuing a dog from there as well. I always recommend this shelter to my friends and coworkers thinking about rescuing. I'd give this place more stars if I could.
I LOVE the HVHS! I have adopted from them 5 times and couldn't be happier with my fur babies. The HVHS is ALWAYS clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. When I had to surrender a beloved pet due to a family illness, they didn't make me feel guilty and gave me a number to call and check on her, which I have done weekly. They also promote nature/animal issues in their community, such as providing factful information on a deer cull in a local park, taking in barn cats, helping the authorities with hoarding situations, promoting child-friendly programs and they have a Love Wagon which rescues fur babies as far away as Texas.
We adopted our dog, Pepper, from HSHV in March 2016. She was transferred from another Humane Society who could not treat her- she was heartworm +.
Today Pepper is heartworm negative! We will be forever grateful for the care she received at HSHV.
Attached are pictures of Pepper being transferred to HSHV and now at her forever home. ❤️
As a volunteer, I know first hand the hard work that goes into this place. Not only is everyone extremely thorough, but the love that is spread to each animal is very much present as well.
I love the Humane Society of Huron Valley (HSHV)! I've been a volunteer since 2010 and know that I'm making a difference in the lives of animals and people. The building is bright and clean, and everyone is friendly. There are wonderful humane education programs for youth, including a day camp and fun movie nights. Youth under 18 are able to be junior volunteers after completing a thorough training program. The animals are very well taken care of, and there's a wonderful foster program where volunteers take care of animals in their homes so that HSHV can help as many animals as possible in our community. Thank you HSHV for all you do!
I have adopted both my barn cats and several house cats over the years. This place is just amazing !!
I love the HSHV. Here is why - 1. I found a lost dog in the woods and they were so kind to me, tested it for a chip (it was a Cavalier!), looked to find its owner, and were so helpful (I kept the dog). 2. I found a starving cat (I'm a hiker) and using their lost and found page, located the owner & witnessed the happy reunion!. 3. I wanted a 2-year old companion cat for my cat. I ended up being picked by a 9+ year old cat! Love her so much. The staff was so patient and helpful to me as I navigated this process. It was 'pick your cat pick your price' I paid $40 and then ended up giving monthly after that! 4. I used their vet services to neuter my other cat (also found) and they did a great job. But the best reason - their low cost vet clinics. The prices are awesome and the staff kind and caring. There are angels here on earth & a lot of them work at that shelter.
Adopted a puppy last week. The staff and volunteers were wonderful and it truly was a heat warming experience for me and my daughter. We love our new puppy and am glad we found him at HSHV
