SPREAD HOLIDAY CHEER...BE A SECRET SANTA THIS YEAR!
Are you still looking for the purr-fect present for that person in your life who is impossible to shop for? Look no further, as we have an opportunity to spread holiday cheer to everyone on your shopping list, AND the pets at CAHS.

For $25, an adoptable pet will receive a stocking full of toys and treats to take home with them when they are adopted. Once we receive confirmation of your donation, we will create a thank you, with your name on it*, and post it on the cage/kennel of one of our shelter pets. We will also take a photo and send it to you via email.

*To have another loved ones name put on the certificate, please email our Community Relations Manager, Lexy, at [email protected].

To be a Secret Santa, please click on the link https://bit.ly/3oaIGdS, and submit the form. If you would like more than one pet to receive a stocking, choose the number of pets from the drop down.

Please note, that this is a VERY busy time of year; to receive your photo(s) in time for the holidays, submissions must be received by 4 p.m. today, Monday, December 23.

Thank you so much for choosing to give joy to a homeless pet this year!

Pet of the Week!

Don't walk, RUN, to the shelter to meet happy-go-lucky Chance!

Five-year-old Chance is a super sweet fella who is easy to fall in love with. He's the kind of guy that makes evey moment brighter, whether its a fun walk outside, or just snuggling up for your love and attention.
Chance adores his plush squeaky toys, curling up with his favorite one for a cozy snooze. He’s house-trained, crate-trained, knows sit, and has all the makings of a perfect gentleman. He’s a bit of fashionista too, rocking his winter sweaters like a runway star.
Chance would like to meet any potential dog pals to make sure they click. But he'd be just as content to be your one and only furry friend.
So if you’re looking for a loyal companion with a warm heart and a stylish flair, take a chance on Chance today!

Chance is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines and preventatives.

If you're on the fence about adopting, consider our two-week Test Drive Adoption Program. It's a great way to see how Chance fits in your home before making things official. Call us at 517-626-6060 or email us at [email protected] for more information.

Say hello to a special crew of adult dogs and cats. These are the adorable faces of our longer-term pets.

These loving pets wake up each day with the hope that today will be the day, the one that dreams are made of....when that special someone will notice them and decide to take them home. Their patience and resilience is simply amazing.

If you are considering adding a new furry family member, please stop in and meet our longer-term friends.

Give the gift of a new home and a loving family and change a life forever.
