The Lenawee Humane Society is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to helping animals and the people who love them. Founded in 1921, the Lenawee Humane Society receives absolutely no government support and relies solely on donations from supporters like you. With your help, we are able to give every animal in our care a second chance at the life they deserve.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to save the lives of animals while enriching the lives of humans.
Vision Statement
We envision a community informed about animal welfare and humane education; animals and families brought together based on the individual wants and needs of both; services available to provide low cost spay and neuter; resources to ensure animals can stay in their homes when times get tough; and support for families when unexpected events occur, ultimately preventing animal overpopulation, abandonment, abuse and homelessness.
