Capital Area Humane Society The Capital Area Humane Society (CAHS) is a non-profit, animal-welfare organization in Lansing, MI. More than 10,000 animals come through our doors each year.

At the Capital Area Humane Society, we are passionate about animals. Our wide variety of programs and services exist to serve the pets and people of Mid-Michigan. We have an excellent staff of nearly 40 animal lovers who see each adoption as a victory. More than 2,500 volunteers devote 32,000+ hours of time each year to ensure our animals are properly socialized, exercised, and loved. The shelter receives no tax dollars or government funding and relies on the generosity of donors to help us provide love, food, shelter, and medical care to homeless and abandoned pets. We are a local, private, and independent animal welfare organization founded in Lansing in 1936 and all donations and gifts directed to the CAHS are used to assist the animals in the greater Lansing community.

It's the End of an Era on Cedar Street!

Today, marks our very last surgery day at the CAHS Spay & Neuter Clinic on Cedar Street before our big move to West Saginaw Highway!

To make this milestone extra special, we're celebrating our very last surgery patient with a gift basket for their family! It's a bittersweet goodbye, but we're so excited for this next chapter!

Our last surgery at this location was on Lucy, who is pictured with her mom, Brooke.

96,223 Surgeries. Countless Lives Changed.

As we close the doors of our Spay & Neuter Clinic on Cedar Street, we're taking a moment to celebrate an incredible milestone.

96,223 spay and neuter surgeries have been performed at this one location! That's 96,223 animals helped, thousands of families served, and an immeasurable impact on pet overpopulation in our community.

We're incredibly proud of what we've accomplished within these walls, and even more excited about what's ahead at our new Community Veterinary Center on West Saginaw Highway!

Same mission. New home. More lives to change.

PUPPIES ARE READY TO HIT THE ROAD TOMORROW!

Forget the test drive. We have a much more important vehicle upgrade in mind: a puppy!

Join us for our Wags 'N Wheels Puppy Adoption Event at Williams Subaru tomorrow, Friday, October 16 from 12–2 p.m.

Williams Subaru
525 North Howard Avenue
Lansing, MI 48912

We're bringing some adorable, adoptable puppies along for the ride, and there's an extra-special deal:

ALL PUPPY ADOPTION FEES ARE 50% OFF! THIS IS ONLY FOR PUPPIES WHO WILL BE AT THE EVENT.

So if you've been thinking about adding a four-legged co-pilot to your life, this might be your sign.

They may not know how to navigate, change a tire or parallel park, but they're excellent at:
• Riding sh***un
• Making you smile
• Taking up the entire back seat
• Sticking their head out the window
• Being your best friend for the rest of the journey

Come meet the puppies, fall in love, and maybe drive home with a new best friend.

Puppies who will be attending the event are pictured in the collage below.

WHY NOT ME WEDNESDAY?!?
Sponsored by Meridian Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electricalg

Meet Roxs, a good boy who deserves a loving place to call home.

At 10 years old, Roxs is a sweet, social guy who still has plenty of love to give. He does have some health challenges, including a persistent cough, and may have a shorter lifespan. Right now, he’s still enjoying his days, eating well, and finding joy in the little things.

We’re looking for a special person who understands the realities of senior-dog care and is willing to give Roxs a soft place to land, knowing that time together may be shorter than we wish.

Sometimes, the greatest gift we can give a senior dog isn’t more time, it’s making the time they have left feel safe, comfortable, and full of love. Could you be that home for Roxs?
