With the completion of Hope Clinic comes another amazing addition to Lenawee Humane Society, Dr. Erin Whalin, D.V.M! Dr. Erin has always known it was her calling in life to become a veterinarian. She grew up on a small farm in Grass Lake with her mom, dad, and little brother. On the farm, Dr. Erin learned the…
Last year at our 9th Annual Howl-O-Ween Ball, we asked our supporters for a miracle. You delivered. At our 10th Annual Howl-O-Ween Ball this past Saturday, we were beyond excited to welcome the arrival of our VERY OWN veterinarian, Dr. Erin Whalin, DVM. With the arrival of Dr. Whalin comes our very own on-site clinic,…
Kaiser was abandoned at Lenawee Humane Society the morning of April 3rd, 2014, only a day after Suri. We could tell right away that this poor soul had lived most, if not all, of his six years outside. We learned that he had previously lived in a small, overgrown outdoor shelter and our heart broke…

This is Kiki. We adopted her on February 27 from LHS. She immediately fell in place as a family member in our home. My 3 year old calls her his "wuvie" (lovie) and the 2 are the best of friends. My daughter, who was very timid of dogs, is not anymore because our beautiful, kind, gentle…
