Founded in 1896, the Humane Society of Huron Valley (HSHV) is the only shelter in Washtenaw County and serves over 14,000 people and their animals every year. HSHV is classified as a no-kill shelter, has the highest "save rate" among all similar animals in Michigan, and has been recognized by the Michigan Pet Fund Alliance with the large shelter award for "Outstanding Open Admission Shelter with the Best Save Rate." Our state-of-the-art facility was rebuilt in 2009, and we depend on the generosity of people like you to continue our mission to support the loving, responsible care of every animal in our community. See more about HSHV at www.hshv.org/aboutus. Thank you for your support!

Additional adoption info
Thank you for considering adopting and saving a life! Our goal is to provide you with the knowledge you need to adopt while making the process a positive experience, so here are some things to know:
+ You must be 18 years of age or older to adopt at HSHV. We welcome all--from any county or state!
+ Prior to visiting an animal, you must complete an application. You can do this at the shelter, or save time by bringing a completed one with you by downloading it from our website at www.hshv.org/howtoadopt.
+ Some animals have special adoption requirements.
+ Adoptions are first-come, first served and holds are limited to one 24-hour hold per family.
+ Please allow at least an hour if you plan on adopting. Bring your driver's license or other government-issued ID with proof of address, a copy of your lease (if it applies) and vaccination records for current pets.
+ Applications are accepted up until 15 minutes prior to closing.
+ Most adoptions are same-day, you'll take home your new friend!
When our animals go home, they've received an initial health check and have been:
+ Spayed/Neutered
+ Microchipped
+ Current on vaccinations (as appropriate to their age)
+ Dewormed
+ Feline Leukemia tested (kittens and cats)
+ Heartworm tested (adult dogs)
+ Temperament tested (adult dogs)
