Humane Society of West Michigan assists over 8,000 animals annually. We are 100% donor funded as we do not receive funding from the government nor are we financially supported by national welfare organizations. This means that we need you! All of our work helping animals is only possible because of generous and caring individuals and businesses in our community like you.
