Think back to the many amazing changes that have taken place at Lenawee Humane Society in the past two years: a shelter remodel, outside dog kennels, a foster care program, music for our animals and other enrichment ideas, more fundraisers, a trap-neuter-return program, and even an on-site clinic. The ideas for these changes don't usually come…
It’s heart-wrenching when a Lenawee Humane Society employee arrives at work to the sight of an abandoned crate placed near our door, especially during Michigan’s extreme weather. This was the case on November 4, 2014. To make matters worse, the note attached to the thin plastic stated, “Hi, I’m George and I need special food.”…
When a Lenawee Humane Society supporter witnessed a dog in a neighboring backyard, chained outside with no food and staring at her with pleading with eyes, her heart reached out for the animal. Something caught the woman's eye and she stared harder, not believing what she was seeing. A large, swollen bulge was peeking out from under…
On February 7th, 2015, beautiful Margo was surrendered to LHS because of financial reasons. It was obvious she had known love and leadership as she impressed us with her skills.

Daryl was found by an Adrian Police Department officer on January 30th, 2015. He could barely open his left eye due to the large injury covering most of that side of his head. The officer thought the injured area was possibly a burn. Others thought maybe he had been hit with a blunt object. Hope…
On January 8th, 2015, an injured calico cat was brought to Lenawee Humane Society after she was found cold and alone in Adrian, MI. She was immediately assessed by Hope Clinic's veterinarian, Dr. Erin Whalin and an infected bone was discovered sticking out of her left front leg. We had no idea what happened to…
It's official – the Lenawee Humane Society's transport van has had her makeover! At our 10th Annual Howl-O-Ween Ball, pet owners went head to head to win their furry baby a spot on our van. Macks, the pitbull mix, is featured on the driver's side of the van and Remmington, the border collie mix, can be…
