It's Greg!

He may not have shown much enthusiasm for the snow last week, but he sure looked cute in it ❄️❄️❄️

There's no better cure for the winter blues than Emmett!

Imagine: every snowfall, you get to see this majestic boy zooming around in his element ❄️

Emmet is looking for a dog-savvy adopter without young kids, and may get along with other dogs, but ould have to meet them before adoption!

Almost 2 months ago, Marshall Meowthers came to us in this tiny hoodie. He was a tough 1.3lb fella who'd chased off two large dogs who were trying to mess with him!

Now, he's happily found his forever home. Congrats to Marshall Meowthers and his lucky person ❤️

Labor Day weekend, we rescued 126 animals from a person with a history of animal cruelty-related convictions and felony charges: dogs, cats, horses, goats, sheep, reptiles and more, many in poor health. This is one of the toughest times our shelter has faced.

Perfect Dog Alert! Somebody come get Sage Grouse! You'll usually see him curled up sweetly in his kennel with his soft blankets and his stuffy toys, looking at you sweetly with his big brown eyes and a wagging tail.

Sage is 2 years old, and would likely prefer to be your only pet. Meet him today!

Our shelter will be closed on Labor Day, but we're open the rest of the weekend! And may we say--three day weekends are an excellent time to bring home a new family member.

See who's available at 🐾 hshv.org/adopt 🐾 or stop by the shelter any time to meet Pickles and his buddies!

Bumblebee is pouting this morning because she's worried we might not have enough food for this week's Bountiful Bowls food pick-up day. 😢

Our pet food pantry helps pet pawrents all across Washtenaw County. Can you lend a paw to make sure they have full bellies this week? hshv.org/wishlist 💞

Let's go behind-the-scenes: meet Fish Eye Blind and Pidgeot! These unlikely roommates are living in our Rescue Team's office and are each looking for a forever home. Fish Eye Blind needs a minimum 55 gallon tank, and Pidgeot needs a spacious cage, healthy diet and plenty of enrichment!

Sandra is an incredible dog, y'all. Trust us, we've been getting to know her since FEBRUARY🥹

She's nearly 2, wants a home without other dogs or kids under 5. From playing tug on land to playing mermaids in the pool, this little lady fills every moment with maximum fun. 🎉 She is free to adopt!
July 29, 2025 at 3:31 PM
Did you know not all of our dogs are housed in the public adoption area? Don't overlook Ethel!

Ethel prefers the quieter, non-public side of the shelter. She has a heart of gold and loves zooming after tennis balls, but can be shy at first. She'd love to be your only dog, and is free to adopt!
July 24, 2025 at 1:58 PM
Sneak peek: Bunny isn't on our website yet, but he's available for adoption!

Bunny has a charming grin, but can be pretty shy. He'd do best in a home without young kids, though he has lived with another dog in the past. We don't know his history around cats. Call us to learn more! 734-662-5585 🐰
July 22, 2025 at 2:13 PM
ALERT: Our shelter is FULL of animals who need to find their forever homes as soon as pawssible! Here are some of the doggies who aren't on our website yet, but are ready to meet with you today!

From Raine's foster: "Raine is quite literally the biggest cuddle bug. I think he forgets he’s not a small dog some days 💞"
July 15, 2025 at 4:13 PM
Does your dog want a friend? Lychee (left) and Bitsy (right) are youngsters who love playing with other dogs! If you have an active home where these ladies can get their zoomies out, without small kids or cats, come meet them today!

Hey! Shiloh needs ya to know a couple of things:

1) We are closed July 4th

2) Animals are most likely to run away from home during the bang-bang-booming of the 4th of July. Double check that your pet's microchip info and ID tags are up to date!

Have a safe and happy holiday!
