Humane Society of Huron Valley
HSHV is an award-winning animal welfare organization dedicated to saving and improving the lives of homeless, injured and abused animals in our community.
For nearly 120 years, we’ve supported the loving, responsible care of animals by:
* Ensuring proper, nurturing care for animals in our shelter
* Placing all adoptable animals in loving homes
* Reducing pet overpopulation
* Providing education and outreach to the community
* Stopping animal cruelty
Since 1896, the Humane Society of Huron Valley has existed to support the loving and responsible care of animals in our community. In 2009, we moved to a state-of-the-art building to further our mission.

We are getting closer to our Giving Tuesday goal!! Donations are DOUBLED today, for kittens like Nimbus. Click the link in our bio to have your gift matched!
Nimbus sat with her back strangely hunched. She walked with a bouncing gait. Something was wrong, but if she felt pain she hid it well.
We took radiographs and were startled to find that Nimbus has a fractured spine. This fragile kitten had a brush with danger but lived to tell the tale...now it’s up to us to help her recover.
It takes a village to help animals like her. Our amazing medical team, the loving foster home where she is living, and of course, YOU. Your donation goes TWICE as far today: Giving Tuesday means helping Nimbus run effortlessly once again and saving countless more homeless animals like her!
Click the fundraiser in our bio to give ❤️

Giving Mewsday Matching Challenge
11/30/2021
It is Giving Tuesday, and we're raising money for animals like Ramona. Visit the fundraiser in our bio to lend a paw!
She was locked in a crate. Emaciated. Hypothermic. Too weak to stand.
Weighing 9 pounds with a 90.2 degree temperature, we didn’t know if Ramona would make it. But our dedicated medical team sprang into action, stabilizing her temperature and getting her on a weight-gain diet while providing emergency fluids and supplements. They saved her life!
Because of supporters like you, we don’t have to wait a single second to provide emergency care to homeless and abused animals like Ramona. And today, donations are DOUBLED! Click the fundraiser in our bio to make twice the difference.

For Giving Tuesday, your gift of any size is MATCHED! We have a goal of $10,000 to help neglected animals like Buffalo Plaid.
We don’t know if this puppy was abused, attacked, or hit by a car...we just know he came to us with a broken leg and open sores. And he desperately needed help.
Our shelter medical team is working hard to save Buffalo Plaid’s leg. He’s now wearing a splint and getting laser therapy to help heal his wounds. One of our loving foster families is giving this sweet guy plenty of TLC during his recovery.
We’re giving our all every day for Buffalo Plaid. Can you help us today on Giving Tuesday? Every gift is DOUBLED to care for him and other injured animals in our community!
11/29/2021
Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday!
Want to help us fundraise for the animals? You can now create your own fundraiser on Instagram: get ready to post a photo like normal, but when you reach the caption step, click "Add Fundraiser" and select your charity 🐾 Together we can make this important day a big success for our furry friends!!

Magma was adopted last weekend, after many weeks of loving care in one of our foster homes ❤️
This 2 month old kitten was found as a stray back in October. She was limping. We examined her and found a fractured right femur and multiple pelvic fractures.
Thankfully, these injuries were the type that could heal well on their own without surgery. Magma gained strength day by day while living in one of our foster homes, and finally went up for adoption last week!
This kitten has been through a lot, and we are so happy that she found an adopter who will make her feel loved and at home. Shoutout to our fantastic foster families who help make recoveries like Magma's possible!!

Snowflakes are in the air and Bear is in his element! ❄️ You can't help but stop in your tracks when you walk by this beautiful boy's kennel. As a Husky, Bear is anything but a couch potato and needs an active home. This also means not living in an apartment setting, or with children under 5 (he's friendly - just very big and energetic!).
Do you love outdoor adventures and need a handsome, fluffy friend? Come meet Bear!

Posey's moseying in to wish you all a rosy, cozy (maybe dozy 💤) Thanksgiving Day!
11/25/2021
Today we're thankful for Ann Edwards: our tireless and dedicated Foster Manager who will soon be leaving us for a well-deserved retirement. What better way to honor and embarass her than with a Thanksgiving post?
Ann has been part of the heart and soul of HSHV for almost 15 years. We will miss her dry humor and calming presence, as one of our long-time fosters sums up perfectly:
"Ann has been the cornerstone of the foster program at HSHV. She has trained new fosters, then held our metaphorical hands as we learned the ropes. So many times, I have contacted Ann in a frenzy with what I am sure is a unique situation, only to be met with a calm, confident reaction as if she’s seen it all before…and she has (oh, the stories she could tell!). Ann has become a household name for us and has led our family (and I am sure countless others) from newbies to veterans, all in the name of improving animal welfare. We will certainly miss Ann’s expertise and compassion, and simply knowing she’s there. We are, however, excited for her as she embarks on her new adventures!"
We will miss you, our foster families will miss you. Our admin cats will CERTAINLY miss you! And we are so happy for you to enjoy more time with your family and your own furbabies.
(and thank you to @theoriginaltrapking for getting us ONE photo of Ann, who usually prefers to be behind the camera!)

"Boo!! Were you scared?"
Boo never actually manages to scare people, but that's what happens when you're an adorable bunny. She's a 3 month old Lop Ear and would love to be adopted with her sister, BB. She's still a baby and can be a bit nervous in new surroundings, but this also means that, with plenty of gentle handling and socialization, Boo can grow up into a confident, social bunny. Come meet her today!
