The Students of Summers-Knoll are so kind! Eloise, Aurora, Gem, Lucas, Momo, Alex, Jack, Niam, Ahmad, Evie, Piper, and Rebecca held a bake/craft sale to raise funds for the homeless animals at HSHV! They were inspired to help the animals after attending a field trip at HSHV, where they learned about the importance of helping animals. Thank you so much for the wonderful donation! We are so grateful for your kindness and generosity, and we know the animals are too!

The Humane Society of Huron Valley (HSHV), the only shelter in Washtenaw County and Plymouth for stray animals, has seen a significant decrease in the number of animals returned to owners this year.
While HSHV has been taking in more lost/stray animals than in past years, in 2023, the shelter has only been able to return 43% of lost dogs to owners; that’s the lowest in over 20 years. An increasing number of dogs are coming in without tags or microchips, or if they do, they have incorrect information.

We appreciate your kindness, and we know the animals will love the blankets and towels you donated.

Through one of HSHV’s donation programs, my family made a donation in honor of my mom, “Mimi.” HSHV then sent us an email with a picture of a sweet little black pitbull whom they named Mimi as a tribute to our donation. At this point she was already a part of our family and the next day we adopted her!! Her transition into our family has been seamless. We value HSHV’s policy where all animals must meet their potential fur siblings before adoption. Having
