Rescue
The Humane Society of Huron Valley is "on call" to rescue sick or injured, animals, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We bring the animals back to our shelter to be properly cared for by our veterinarians and trained shelter staff. We rescue sick or injured domestic animals as well as sick or injured wildlife. Whenever possible, we work with our local Friends of Wildlife organization for rehabilitation and release.
HSHV provides 24 hour rescue services for sick and injured wildlife and stray animals. Please note that HSHV does not accept healthy animals, including feral cats or wildlife, for euthanasia. Please contact our Trap, Neuter and Return Coordinator for issues regarding feral cats at (734) 662-5585.
