Humane Society Of South Central Michigan

About

The Humane Society of South Central Michigan is the area’s nonprofit advocate, sanctuary and source for companion animals since 1887. Our Mission: to enhance the lives of companion animals and people through education, adoption and community outreach; help protect companion animals from suffering and cruelty; provide safe and responsible care for unwanted or abused companion animals. We believe in second chances at the Humane Society of South Central Michigan. Our service area includes all of Calhoun County and parts of Kalamazoo, Barry and Branch counties. We keep animals as long as it takes to find a good home for adoption once the animal passes temperament testing and is checked for good health. The Watkins Road shelter cares for up to 100 animals every day of the year. Countless area residents use the Society’s animal care, adoption and education programs each year. The Humane Society is overseen by a Board of Directors. We do not receive any government or tax dollars, or national humane organization funding. Our services are made possible by people in our community who care about homeless cats and dogs - people like you!

Adoption process

Download our adoption application and email, fax or snail mail in and we will schedule you for an appointment at a time that is convenient for you! Please do not call to check on your application; we will call individuals in the order applications are received. We will call your personal and veterinary references and your landlord prior to approving you for adoption from our facility. All members of your family living within your household must attend adoption counseling. You may be asked to provide proof of income prior to adoption. For certain animals including all pit bulls, we may require a home visit prior to adoption. If you currently own a dog and are interested in adopting another, you must first be approved to adopt, be counseled, and then bring your dog in for a compatibility test before finalizing the adoption. It is possible that you may be approved to adopt from our facility, but due to the needs/requirements of a particular animal, you may not be approved to adopt the animal of your choice. Some animals cannot go with children, require a fenced-in yard, etc. This does NOT mean you are denied; we will work to help find the best fit for your home!
