Meet Friday's Friend, Finn! Finn is a 1-year-old pup who has been waiting to find his furever home since December, and would love to find it soon!
It can take Finn a little bit of time to warm up to new people, but once he knows and trusts you, you're one of the pack! Finn loves to be petted and massaged, and he enjoys leisurely walks where he can watch the world go by. This goofy guy would love to find an owner who will help him learn new skills, as well as a home where he can be your only fur baby in a quiet, routine place where he can settle in, feel safe, and learn to master his zen.
If you're interested in adopting Finn, go to hswestmi.org, or contact the adoptions department at adoptions@hswestmi.org!

HSWM Kid’s Summer Camps
Warmer weather is on its way, and HSWM Kids Summer Camps are just around the corner.
Choose from a wide variety of animal-focused programs, suited for children ages 5-15, from getting to know the animals you can find in your own backyard, to learning about animals from all over the world. There are programs aimed at younger kids like HSWM Mini Camp, teaching children about companion pets, all the way up to Vet & Animal Careers Camp, teaching older kids about different animal-based career options, including veterinary science.
Camps will be held in person, following COVID safety guidelines, meaning spots will be limited. Learn more and sign up today through our website at hswestmi.org/youth-camps to make sure your child doesn't miss out on all of the fun!
