• Tailgate Puppies

Dedicated to the protection and care of all animals, the Charlevoix Area Humane Society has been serving pets and their humans in Charlevoix County since 1974.

Dear Friend of the Charlevoix Area Humane Society,

Because of your support, the Charlevoix Area Humane Society has served and found loving homes for hundreds of dogs and cats (and even a few exotic animals) and saved the lives of stray and surrendered animals from near and far. In the past year, we have made major investments to improve the health and safety of our animals, including a new heating, cooling, and air purification system to negate airborne pathogens and decrease upper respiratory issues, as well as a new surgical room that will allow us to spay and neuter our shelter animals. Not only are our animals healthier as a result, but the shelter will save tens of thousands of dollars each year in medical costs.

Now we have turned our focus to addressing the growing issue of feral cat colonies around Charlevoix County with our new feline Trap-Neuter-Release Program. TNR programs are the most humane and only effective method to control community cat populations.

But we can’t do this important lifesaving work without you. The Charlevoix Area Humane Society is a non-profit organization that depends entirely on charitable giving, grants, and your support to fulfill our mission. Your support makes our work possible, and we are asking for your continued support of our efforts.

Giving Tuesday is December 3, 2024, and it is our major holiday fundraiser to support our mission. To date, donors have committed up to $18,643.00 to match your tax-deductible Giving Tuesday donation dollar-for-dollar. In other words, your financial contribution will have double the impact on the lives of our shelter animals.

On Giving Tuesday, your donation of $60 spay or neuters a cat (on average), $100 a Dog, $200 could feed all the animals for a month. Any amount is appreciated and will go directly to further our mission. Donations may be made on-line at www.charlevoixhumane.org

On behalf of our volunteers, staff, and especially the animals we work to protect, thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Robert (Scott) H. MacKenzie

Want to Make a Difference in the World? Adopt a Pet From the Charlevoix Area Humane Society!

Adopting a pet from the Charlevoix Area Humane Society not only changes the life of an animal but also enriches your own life in countless ways. Each pet in our care has a unique story, and by choosing to adopt, you provide them with a new chapter filled with love, safety, and happiness. When you adopt from us, you’re not just gaining a loyal companion; you’re making a compassionate choice that supports animals.

By welcoming an animal into your home, you free up space and resources in our shelter, allowing us to rescue and care for more animals in need. Your adoption fee directly supports our efforts to provide care, food, and shelter for other animals awaiting their forever homes.

The Process to Adopt:

You will need to fill out an application and once it is approved we can then set up an appointment to visit with our animals. Please call us at 231-582-6774 with any questions.

Snooki

Hey boos and baes! Snooki here, yeah, Snooki like the well-known Jersey Shore star. She and I have some very similar traits and she is like totally my role model. I can be sassy then sweet, and you never know quite what you'll get with me. But hey, surprises are fun right?! I have been known to cause some trouble here with the other cats, so for everyone's sake, I should probably be an only cat. I love to chat and I know we could have some great convos if you just give me a chance!
