Meet the HSHV Pet of the week at https://www.hshv.org/

📸 Let's focus on the Humane Society of Huron Valley's Pet of the Week: Kodak! 🐾

Kodak might be a little too excited when you first meet him, but once he settles in, he is pure, high-energy gold! ⚡ This "Energizer Bunny" is looking for an active partner who loves a good routine and plenty of outdoor enrichment.

If you already have a four-legged crew at home, Kodak would love to audition for the lead singer spot! He’s looking to meet potential dog siblings at the shelter for a playdate before heading to his forever stage. 🎸🐶

Ready to develop a lifelong bond? Fill out an adoption survey online or call HSHV at (734) 662-5585.

All HSHV residents are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Let’s get this good boy home!

Meet the HSHV Pet of the week at https://www.hshv.org/

Don’t let the name fool you—our latest Pet of the Week from Humane Society of Huron Valley isn't here to drop a heavy beat. He’s much more of a "smooth jazz" kind of guy! 🎷

Meet Kitty Boom Boom, a senior gentleman currently looking for his retirement villa through the Humane Society of Huron Valley. Despite the high-energy name, this sweet fellow is all about the "unplugged" life: warm laps, gourmet snacks, and plenty of peace and quiet.

Kitty Boom Boom is looking to be your "solo artist"—he’d prefer a home where he’s the only pet and there are no kiddos around to kill his mellow vibe. If you’ve got a cozy spot on the couch and a heart for senior kitties, he’s ready to be your new best friend. 🐾

Since he’s currently living the good life in a foster home, you’ll need to set up a special backstage pass to meet him!

Email: [email protected] or Call: (734) 662-5585

All HSHV residents come spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Let’s find this legend his forever home! 🏠✨
