HSHV was founded in 1896. We are the only animal shelter in Washtenaw County that takes in all types of unwanted, injured, lost, stray, abandoned, and abused animals. Each year we help over 10,000 dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small animals.

​

HSHV has the highest "save rate" among all similar animal shelters in Michigan? 85% of the animals that come through our doors are successfully helped back home or find a new loving home.
