Be honest: would your pets cooperate for a fall family photo? 📸🍂

Pepzi, Graham, Chip & Reese understood the assignment.

Featured in our calendar, this crew belongs to Barbara and Steven Kohler. Graham and his nephew Pepzi are long-haired dachshunds, joined by adopted siblings Chip and Reese. Best friends, breakfast buddies, and clearly very good at posing together. 🧡

Let’s see YOUR pet’s best portrait or the outtake that explains why you don’t have one.

“Did I make it?” 🥹❤️

Yes, Nash. You made it.

From the moment he arrived needing critical care to the happy, healthy dog you see today, Nash’s journey is a reminder of what compassion can make possible.

But Nash isn’t the only animal who needs a second chance.

Every day, animals arrive at Michigan Humane needing urgent medical attention, treatment, and a team willing to fight for them.

Thanks to the generosity of supporters like YOU and partners like Purina , we can continue showing up for animals when they need us most.

❤️ Help make the next recovery story possible. Donate to Michigan Humane’s Critical Care Fund today.

You don’t have to adopt a dog to make their day. 🥹❤️

Sometimes, all it takes is a car ride, a new place to explore, a few belly rubs, and someone willing to spend a little time with them.

Our Dog Day Getaways give shelter dogs a chance to enjoy life outside the shelter, one adventure at a time.

A special thank-you to for supporting the adventures that make moments like these possible! 🚗🐾

Some of the most meaningful things we accomplish begin with people who believe animals deserve better. ❤️

This weekend, Bow Wow Brunch brought together an extraordinary group of animal advocates, philanthropists, businesses, and friends of Michigan Humane, all united by a shared belief in compassion.

As our largest fundraising event of the year, Bow Wow Brunch represents so much more than a single afternoon. It represents the generosity that makes our work possible, the partnerships that strengthen our mission, and the countless lives that will be impacted because people chose to care.

We are especially grateful to the organizations, foundations, and families whose generous support helped make this year’s event possible:

Mike Morse Law Firm , Ilitch Charities ,Strategic Staffing Solutions , Delta Dental of Michigan , DTE Energy , Lerner Advertising, Inc. , Team Divisha Financial Team Lyders - Franchise of Taco Bell, VCA Animal Hospitals , Nancy and James Grosfeld, the Konop and Deuch family, and ATRS Recycling.

To our donors, volunteers, staff, and every individual who contributed to this incredible afternoon, THANK YOU.

The true impact of Bow Wow Brunch isn’t measured by what happens in one room on one day. It’s measured by what becomes possible afterward: more animals receiving care, more families finding companionship, and more opportunities to make a meaningful difference across Michigan.

What a privilege it is to be surrounded by people who believe this work is worth doing, and worth doing together.

From all of us at Michigan Humane, thank you for making Bow Wow Brunch 2026 so meaningful. ❤️

Wait until you hear their answers…🥹

Different ages, different stories, different perspectives. But one thing brings us together: the belief that animals deserve compassion, kindness, and a chance to be loved.

At Bow Wow Brunch, we were reminded that love for animals has a way of connecting people from every walk of life. ❤️

To everyone who helped make this day possible, THANK YOU for being part of something so meaningful.

We asked them, and now we’re asking YOU.⬇️

Different missions, shared values, and a whole lot of heart for Michigan. 💙❤️

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of welcoming employees from Ford Motor Company to our Detroit and Westland shelters and Caplan Family Pet Food Pantry!

From cleaning kennels and washing dishes to lending a hand with the everyday work that keeps our shelters running, these volunteers showed up ready to make a difference.

And here’s what we LOVE about that. Not every act of kindness comes with a wagging tail or a picture-perfect moment. Sometimes it’s a clean kennel, a fresh blanket or a task taken off someone’s plate.

To our friends at Ford Motor Company , THANK YOU for giving your time and being part of that work! 🐾

Let’s give these incredible volunteers some love in the comments! 👏

GUILTY! 🤭 And we take that responsibility very seriously.

The human-animal bond is a powerful thing! A little playtime, some extra love and building trust can make a big difference for shelter dogs waiting for their next chapter. ❤️

We were told Pitbulls have an image problem…

Charity would like a word. 🥹

She’s cute, she KNOWS she’s cute, and yes, she’s currently up for adoption!

Do your part, spread this propaganda 👀

Plot twist: every dog they picked is STILL AVAILABLE. 👀🐾

October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, so we asked our Detroit team the impossible question: if you had to pick ONE dog here to adopt, who would it be?

These were their picks. And yes, every single face you see is currently up for adoption at our Detroit location. ❤️

Now we want to know yours. Tell us WHO you’re picking in the comments and share this with someone who might just need to meet them.

And a big thank you to Purina for keeping our dogs happy, healthy and well-fed while they wait for what comes next. 🐶❤️
