We currently have 4 dogs that are about to start heartworm treatment. All of these sweet animals came in as strays to our shelter. Lacey the Blue Healer, Deeno and Victor the Rottweilers and Stewie the bully mix all came in and tested positive for heartworm. They need foster homes in order to start their treatment. Anything you can afford will be appreciated. If you are interested in fostering, please call us here at the shelter. Heartworm positive dogs need a quiet and calm home to relax in so that the treatment can work properly. Thank you and God Bless.

Gino is approx. 10-year-old senior who came to us as a stray. He is severely malnourished, underweight and has a broken hip that was never repaired. Our veterinarian explained that because of the neglect with his hip, his leg is frozen in that position and needs to be removed because of the constant pain it is causing him. He so sweet and loving, potty trained and is good with dogs and people. He needs a home he can recover in after his leg is amputated as well. Please help Gino today so he can get the medical treatment he desperately needs. Any help is appreciated, any donation would be a blessing for this sweet blessing.

With it being so cold we make sure our animals have warm blankets to cuddle with. Unfortunately we only have 1 washer and 1 dryer and it just isn’t enough. We are at the laundromat 2-4 times a week just to try to keep up. That means going to wash clothes as soon as they open for a few hours before we clean cages or going after we have been open all day.

There really isn’t room for a second washer and/ or dryer or funds to buy commercial washer and dryer and right now we have over 70 dogs.

Every trip to the laundry mat costs us around $150 or more.

We would like to start a go fund me for a new washer - dryer room. Until that dream becomes a reality we will do anything to keep these sweet dogs warm and cozy. Last time we washed was 3 days ago and we did 13 loads of laundry. Pray for a miracle, we are so tired.

These 10 little puppies and their momma were abandoned on the side of the road. 1 puppy was not expected to live but is currently stable for now. The momma who we named Cassie was taken to the vet as well for mastitis and is being treated. We believe the puppies are around 8 weeks and will be available for adoption in the next few weeks or so. They will call need to be UTD on shots, fixed and chipped their adoption can be finalized.

Any financial help you can give would be greatly appreciated so we can continue to help the animals in Monroe County.

Selina came to us as a stray with a huge open wound under her arm and another injury on her back leg. With out the surgery this sweet 1.5 yr old girl would not survive. We rushed her to the vet and they took her right in. Her surgery was a success and they expect a full recover for this girl.

Please consider helping us with Selina so we can continue to help other shelter animals in the future.

Sweet 6-month-old Haddie came to us when a nearby neighbor watched a man kick on this kitten repeatedly. After bringing her to use we took her in to have her leg looked at and found that she had breaks in her hip, pelvis and at the bottom of her femur. The damage was so extensive they were not able to save her leg. Through it all she has been loving and only wants attention from everyone around her. The vet believes she will make a full recovery and should be able to go home in 2-3 weeks.

Please consider helping us with the medical bills so we can continue to help animals like Haddie so they get the care they need to be able to go to a new family.

Last night this sweet girl was brought in over night with trauma throughout her body. Her front leg is broken, she has trams to her face, lip and mouth as well as other abrasions. She had to have an out patient surgery to repair her lip and remove broken teeth that are floating around in her mouth. She needs to have major surgery on Monday morning to repair her front leg and oral surgery to fix the broken and damaged teeth that also have exposed nerves. She is in terrible pain but we are keeping her calm and medicated. Her leg is splinted and she can only eat small amounts of wet food because of her mouth trauma.

This will be a long recovery and we are hoping for a foster for her to recover in.

She is the sweetest girl and loves attention. Her original owner recently rehomed her and the new owner doesn’t want her now that she is damaged. Please pray for a speedy recovery and a home with a loving family.

So many of our dogs that are coming in are in need of immediate medical care and our vet bills are extremely high.

Anything you can spare to help cover some of the cost is greatly appreciated.

You can make payments here, in person at the shelter or call us and we can help you make a payment by credit card over the phone [phone redacted].

With many thanks from all of us at the Humane Society of Monroe, MI

Our sweet Poppy has been with us since February. She was adopted and returned twice at no fault of her own, leaving her here again heartbroken. Her favorite part of the day is running in the yard with her jolly ball, and she unfortunately injured her leg doing so. Please consider donating to this sweet girls surgery so she can get better and enjoy her ball again! She is so sad being on kennel rest and not being able to have her normal play time, and its heartbreaking to watch!

In life things don't always go the way we hope. On September 15th Ada began giving birth to her puppies. What we had hoped for to be a joyous event was filled with sadness. Even with veterinary care and an emergency C section only one of the four puppies Ada was carrying survived. There were 2 boys and 2 girls and we have one healthy boy. Because we do not know Ada's history, the father or any other medical problems she may have had in life it is impossible to know what happened. We did all we could for our sweet girl including a trip to the emergency vet early dawn.

Ada and her puppy are now doing well, it has been a very difficult and grief filled time for our staff and volunteers. So many people love this sweet girl and her little boy.

Donations sent to HSMC to help defray some of these costs is appreciated.
