Our Difference

Why Are We Different?

Simply put, we do things differently than your local pet store, the Dog Pound, or Animal Control? Our focus has always been the overpopulation and care of companion animals (dogs, cats, puppies and kittens) of Genesee County.   Though we offer programs to surrender a pet, we do not actively seek out and capture stray animals. 

Benefits To Adoption!

By adopting a pet from The Humane Society, you’re not only supporting your local shelter, you’re receiving your new pet at a low cost with many extras as described below. The same pet off the street would cost you over $200 in initial veterinary fees alone!   You can rest assured that all of our animals have been thoroughly examined, vaccinated, and lovingly cared for. 

Education & Training

Part of our approach to the adoption process is educating pet owners in regards to the care and training of pets and we these types of programs. 

In short, our mission is to provide shelter and adoption of companion animals, reduce overpopulation, extend humane education, prevent cruelty, and provide those services that promote its goals and policies.
