Thank you, Chow Hound!
This Giving Tuesday, the Humane Society of West Michigan's hearts were warmed by the overwhelming support of the community members and donors! Thanks to Chow Hound we were able to match gifts up to $30,000.
This year they made a goal of $80,000, and are happy to report they crushed that goal! The animals and community have already benefited greatly from these donations!
Long Stay Foster Pets
Recently, HSWM has seen a couple of our long-stay pets find their forever homes! These pets spent months in their foster homes just waiting for their adopters. While this has been so exciting to see, they still have many long-stay animals in foster homes and the shelter.
Throughout the country, adoptions have stalled, and we want to urge our community members to check out the shelter when looking for their new pet! Lots of these pets have proven they will do well in a home when given the opportunity! If you are interested in adopting some of our long-stay pets, please visit our website hswestmi.org.f
One Day Empty the Shelters & Holiday Market Place
HSWM is excited to announce we will be hosting a Holiday Open House and Marketplace on December 2 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m! We will be partnering with BISSELL Pet Foundation for a one-day Empty the Shelters with a completely fee waived adoption fee for animals over five months old.
In addition, HSWM will also be having a marketplace with lots of goodies for sale. All the revenue from this event will benefit the animals in their care and the community this holiday season!
