Michigan Humane

Michigan Humane's mission is to improve and save lives through compassionate care, community engagement and advocacy for animals.

Michigan Humane was founded in 1877, is the oldest and largest nonprofit animal welfare organization in the state. Your support creates meaningful change by keeping 40,000 families together through our Pet Food Pantry and community programs, ensuring pets remain in loving homes. With 6,250 cruelty and rescue runs, we work to safeguard neighborhoods and protect animals in need. Each year, we facilitate 6,000 pet adoptions, strengthening the human-animal bond, and inspire 1,400 future veterinarians through career pathway programs.

Michigan Humane operates multiple adoption centers and veterinary centers in Michigan; adoption partnerships with Premier Pet Supply, Petco and PetSmart; and both a Cruelty Investigation Department and a Statewide Animal Response Team.
