Humane Society of Huron Valley

Thank you Arcadia Capital for returning to sponsor the Compassionate Feast once again this year! This team is a small firm by design, bringing a personal approach with the knowledge and resources of a large firm -- and we can vouch for them being animal lovers! Thank you for giving back to your community and making a difference ??

Happy #thankyouthursday to our friends at Russell Video! The Compassionate Feast is about a month away, and as always, we have Dan Russell and his team to thank for donating their time and talents to make our event look and sound good! In fact, they are so incredible that last year during the Compassionate Feast we named Dan Russell as the recipient of our annual Community Humane Hero Award. A true animal lover, adopter, rescuer, and long-time supporter, he and his team have played a significant role in our event for the last 15+ years -- even producing our virtual events during the depths of the pandemic when we could not gather in person. We don't know what we would do without these wonderful folks. THANK YOU RUSSELL VIDEO for all you do for the animals -- it makes a BIG difference!

Thanksgiving came early over here! ?? Thank you PetSmart Charities for a 26,000lb pet food donation, and BIG thanks to Food Gatherers for generously donating crucial warehouse space to store this massive donation! The demand for our Bountiful Bowls pet food pantry has skyrocketed -- last year we handed out 64,000lbs of pet food to families in need, and this new donation helps us meet the ongoing needs of our community. We expect this large-scale dry food donation to sustain our pet food pantry for about six months ?? We continue to welcome donations of wet food, cat litter, and dry dog & cat food -- open bags are okay, as long as they are in the original packaging and within 2 months of the expiration date. Cameron, our Bountiful Bowls coordinator, and all of us at HSHV are grateful for our community's help in making this program possible!

What are the chances a lost bird would land in our CEO's backyard? AND be returned to her owner who helped not only tell the tale, but also help HSHV out by getting this unbelievable-but-true story out there? (H/T to the wonderful PR guru Tiff Neikart!)

The use of animals in entertainment often hides a harsh reality—many of these animals endure poor living conditions and suffer for the sake of human enjoyment. Remember, if something doesn't feel right, trust your instincts! Speak up and ask questions-- because your voice can make a difference. Before visiting any place that features animals for entertainment, do your research to ensure they truly prioritize animal well-being over profit. https://lnkd.in/guhKGaQ7
