Humane Society of West Michigan

Humane Society of West Michigan Our mission is to promote the humane treatment and responsible care of animals in West Michigan. We cannot achieve our vision on our own.

Our vision is to build a more compassionate community where all animals are given the care they deserve. It requires collaboration with animal welfare organizations, community partners and our supporters in order to achieve our common goals.

🌞🐾 It’s National Play Outside Day — and the perfect excuse to soak up the sunshine with your favorite furry friend!

Whether it's a game of fetch, a trail hike, a sniffari in the backyard, or a lazy roll in the grass, today’s all about enjoying the great outdoors together. 🌳🐕🐈

Don’t forget: fresh air, exercise, and quality time = a happy, healthy pet (and person!).

Now go outside. Your pet says so. 😉

A message from our adoptable pup Cobalt:

"The shelter will be closed tomorrow in observance of the 4th of July! 🎆 You can still learn about me and my friends who are up for adoption on our website. We'll be back open 7/5, finding forever homes for all the pets here. Visit us then! 🐾"

She spends her days napping like a pro, but the second you walk into the room? She’s up and ready with head bumps, gentle purrs, and a heart full of love. Fan Fan lives for attention and cozy cuddle time.

✨ Front paw declawed
✨ Best as the only pet
✨ Great with kids (child meet recommended)
