We officially brought Yondu (the dog FKA Wrangler) on June 19, but we loved him before then! Yondu came home for a pajama party a few days earlier, and it only took hours before we knew he would be staying. He’s definitely one of the family! He loves snuggling with Mom and Dad (especially Dad), going to the dog park, and taking plenty of walks (he gets several every day!). Some of his favorite things these few months have been walks to the ice cream stand and trips to the renaissance fair. He has developed quite the fan club, from

If you’ve heard of Ann Arbor’s annual deer killing you have probably heard that deer are overpopulated due to a loss of natural predators, specifically wolves, leaving us no choice but to hire sharpshooters. Since it continues to be repeated by elected officials as the basis for expensive public policy, I guess it’s time to stop rolling my eyes and to review a bit of wolf history and explain why wolves are not at the root of our problem and could never be part of the solution. It is true that wolves once roamed our entire nation, including our state

We adopted Eugene (9) from Tiny Lions in the Spring of 2018. After our roommate and his cat moved out a few months later, our chunky socialite Eugene was very vocal about wanting a companion pet. We made a few more trips to Tiny Lions, and then we fell in love with Penny (2), the sweetest and shyest orange girl. Despite being underweight and being fearful of people, toys, and even food initially, Penny and Eugene hit it off right away with her following him around and learning how to “cat.” She is a great friend to Eugene and encourages

We came to the Humane Society of Huron Valley for a few weeks to find that perfect dog who would choose us. After seeing a few dogs, I saw a sad little face in one of the kennels. After watching so many people walk past him because he wasn’t happy, wagging his tail, wanting to be petted, I asked to see him. He was shy at first, but as soon as the nice lady that worked there came in, he leaned into me and gave me a big sloppy kiss. I knew he had chose us. The next day we

So glad I found this site. I hated Maizie’s breed. I’ve only been bitten and annoyed by small dogs. I walked right past her. The friend I was with said, “How about this one?” Me: “I hate yippy yappy football dogs.” The HSHV employee said, “She’s actually a sweet girl. Try her.” I decided since the dog I “wanted” was already adopted, I’d give Martha a chance. It was hot. I sat down outside. She jumped into my lap and never left my arms. We had some hyperactive issues, some poo pee issues, some separation anxiety issues. Now, she has

One of the best decisions I made was adopting my buddy. He gets me through the rough spots and bumps of life, and asks for nothing; he is happy just getting attention. We walk daily which keeps us both healthy. He goes with me just about everywhere. We even took a trip to Olympic National Park last spring. I’m hoping to get a motor home so that we can both explore this beautiful country of ours. Bruno is pictured here wearing his safety vest at work with me at the railroad. We just had a big update at work with
