Who We Are and What We Do.
The HHS is a nonprofit organization dedicated to caring for the homeless dogs and cats of Alpena County. Our facility is usually pretty full with 20+ dogs and 80+ cats on any given day. We are a no-kill shelter and will work to heal and rehabilitate the pets that come through our doors. While we cooperate with local governments to provide services to the surrounding city, township and county, we rely on private donations to keep our doors open.

The Huron Humane Society offers a variety of services to local residents. Among them are:

  • providing shelter for stray and lost pets
  • locating suitable homes for the pets
  • Rehabilitating ill and injured dogs and cats
  • working with owners to re-home their animals
  • providing microchipping to the general community
  • supporting spay and neuter efforts
  • obtaining full veterinary services for all pets in our care
  • microchipping service to the community
  • school and nursing home pet visitations
Our Mission: to provide no-kill solutions to reduce the number of homeless cats and dogs through education, rehabilitation and re-homing.



RE-HOMING PETS: Occasionally some pets need a "new" home if their owners are no longer able to care for them. These pets in need of a "new" home are not listed on our website, but can be seen at Petfinder.com

Dogs Win with Kennel Sponsors
Kennel Sponsorships now available for individuals or groups! It's a great way to support the HHS, and one animal in particular. For about $1.50 a day, or $500 for a full year, you can make sure that the animal in "your kennel" is safe, healthy and happy! Your generosity is recognized with a sign naming you as the sponsor. Your animal will be spayed or neutered, featured on the web and in the Alpena News, and will be given a special toy "just because." If you, on your own, or with a club or even the people you work with, will help a special shelter pet, please print our Kennel Sponsor form! 



Thank you sponsors!
