Volunteering not only benefits the dogs but also brings joy and fulfillment to your day. Have you ever volunteered with animals before? Share your experiences below! 🐶💕
(Also, Cedar needs a forever home! Maybe it’s you?) 🥹🏡
🐱Aurora, one of our adoptable cats, is obsessed with the World’s Best Cat Litter (and the box it comes in)? 📦 She can’t get enough of it! When you adopt a cat from our shelter they give you a bag of litter as well. 😎
Who else has a cat that loves boxes more than anything else in the house? 🐾
💕 World's Best Cat Litter
Well, hellooooo there handsome. Nice to see you. 😏😍🐾
Loaded Tea (LT for short), has the most striking blue eyes and his personality is incredible! He is sweet, affectionate with new faces and has potential with other dogs. PERFECT! Give us a call at 231-946-5116 to meet LT today. ❤️

This is Poe, our Ginop Sales, Inc. POTW from
Cherryland Humane Society. Poe has been there for over a year, he is only 3 years old. He is a goofball that loves any outdoor activities but also leans in for love and attaboys! He has potential with other dogs but young kids and kitties, not so much. This guy would love to have the chance to steal your heart.
Thanks for sharing.

❤️ 🐾We are big time dog lovers here at NLD! Supporting local animal shelters has always been one of our passions. National Dog Day seems like the perfect day to consider fostering or adopting a rescue dog. If that's not possible, how about donating to Cherryland Humane Society, Great Lakes Humane Society, or an animal shelter near you? Life is better with dogs! 🐾❤️
🐾 Looking for a furry best friend to brighten up your days? Meet Cedar! This handsome pup is searching for his forever home 🏡. Cedar is playful, loving, and ready to shower you with endless cuddles.
Can you be the one to give him the love and care he deserves? 🐶💕 Give us a call at 231-946-5116 to meet this handsome boy. (Did we mention he’s a volunteer favorite?) 😉
CHS volunteers had an amazing time at the this year and were so thrilled to be invited back to help with their parking lot. 😆❤️🐾
Thank you to the festival staff for including us and for your generous support and donations to help us care for our furry friends in need. 🥹 Can’t wait until next year!
Check out these gorgeous photos of adoptable cat, Effy! 😍
Also, here is what cat volunteer, had to say about her. 🥹
“This beautiful little cat is just like a big kitten - intrepid and excited about everything there is to do and see. She loves chasing a laser and playing with her human friends. So full of fun!” 🐈💕🐾
Give us a call at 231-946-5116 to meet Effy and see if she’s your forever cat companion. ❤️
A tremendous thank you goes out to DJ Hastag and the Sail Inn for hosting their third annual karaoke party and fundraiser, benefiting our furry friends in need here at CHS. 😆❤️🐾
Thank you for your support!
🌟 Did you know it’s National Foster Appreciation Week? Let’s take a moment to thank all the incredible foster families out there who open their hearts and homes to those in need. 🏡💖
From senior dogs and cats to litters of kittens, we couldn’t do what we do here at CHS without the help of foster families here in northern Michigan. Thank YOU! 🏡🐾
And speaking of fosters, Finnegan is a sweet pup looking for his forever home, but could also use a temporary foster home to get him out of the shelter environment. (He’s been extra sad and stressed lately) 😓
If you’re ready to add a furry friend to your family, consider adopting or fostering Finnegan! 🐾✨
Hello there, I’m Missy! 👋☺️🐾
I may be a senior, but don’t let that fool you. I’m as curious as a kitten and just as playful. My spirit may be independent but I am always down for a good cuddle, belly rub, and chat. I’ve been working on my weight loss recently, and I must say, I’m feeling quite spry! 😆
Hopefully my new family will help me continue my health journey. I do also have arthritis, but it is managed thanks to medication. I have potential with cats, but large animals and dogs do make me uncomfortable. Children 12+ are best, younger kids can make me nervous. Adopting me means gaining a loyal friend, a cute companion, and a playful spirit. I promise to fill your life with purrs, headbutts, and lots of love. 💕🐾💕 Let’s make some memories together! 🏡
Meet Poe, this week's Yappy Hour Spotlight!
In addition to those eyes, Poe has the most beautiful personality. He is independent, unintentionally comical, naturally charismatic and the behaviorist has described him as a "certified do**us". Poe LOVES the outdoors, no matter the season, prefers to sleep alone, but will cuddle with his favorite people (or those who offer treats). He needs a home with experience, kiddos and cats make him nervous, but he does have potential with other dogs.
Poe is currently residing at Cherryland Humane Society. If you are interested in meeting Poe to foster or adopt, please reach out to them.
As always, don't forget to join us on the patio on Thursdays from 4:00-6:00 pm with your canine companion for Happy Hour pricing for humans & treats from Mi Pets Treat Truck for the pups, with proceeds benefiting Cherryland Humane Society and H.A.N.D.D.S. to the Rescue.
Whelp, we think it’s safe to say this little kitten, Elsbeth, will be spoiled rotten and loved forever. 😍🥰🐾
Happy gotcha day to you all! And thank you for choosing to adopt! 🐈
How can you resist a sugar-faced baby? 🥹 Especially one that has been at our shelter for nearly a year. 💔
And honestly, we don’t get it. Elaine is on the smaller side and loves everyone she meets. She would be a perfect addition to a family with more mature kiddos, since she is mature herself (she is a young 8!), and even has potential with other dogs! 🤩
If you are even interested in fostering Elaine to get her out of the shelter temporarily until she finds her forever home, please give us a call at 231-946-5116. But no promises. There’s a good chance you’ll fall in love. 🥰🐾
Thank you to for including us this year in your fabulous maker’s market! 😆
Your generous donation will go far in helping care for our furry friends in need. 🐾❤️
Peekaboo! 🐈🐈🐈 (And good morning!)☀️
Just wanted to remind all of you animal lovers that we have lots of kittens and cats still looking for forever homes. 🏠🥹 Are you in need of a best friend for life? ❤️
