Jesse's Happy Ending! In The News

For five years the HHS has held their annual Cruizin' for Critter's Motorcycle Run in early June in an effort to raise funds for the operational budget.

Years past have generated near $3,500 of much needed funds to help us sustain our daily operations.

The 2009 Motorcycle Run was a huge success! Denny Mayo, Chief's Bar and Grill, and many volunteers devoted countless hours and resources (both financial and otherwise) to the organization of our 2009 run.

And the efforts paid off. This years Motorcycle Run generated a record-breaking $4,100 of much needed financial support!

Thank you Denny, Brian, Chief's Staff, the riders and all of the volunteers who helped to make this years run a success! We couldn't have done it without you!

We raised over $10,600 during our Valentine's Gala! We would like to thank everyone for their support.

We are in desperate need of bleach, disinfectant, and laundry detergent. With the recent outbreaks of parvo we have been going through a lot of these supplies.

We are not affiliated with any other organizations such as the American Humane Society, the Michigan Humane Society, or PETA. We do not take a stand on hunting or animal issues other than those stated in our mission statement.
