Capital Area Humane Society

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.

HAPPY TAILS!
Sponsored by Dowding Industries, Inc.

Koda is settling beautifully into her new home and has quickly become the perfect addition to her family. As she's gotten more comfortable, her adorable personality has really started to shine, and her family says it's been the sweetest thing to watch.

She has already won over her canine siblings—even the family's Cavapoo was recently found snuggled up sleeping beside her! Koda has also formed a special bond with her new Labrador best friend, following her everywhere and learning the ropes along the way.

So far, Koda has proven to be a gentle, easygoing girl. She rarely barks, doesn't jump on people, stays out of trouble, and is simply a joy to have around. While her family is still deciding on the perfect name, one thing is certain: this lovable pup has already found her place in their hearts.

We couldn't be happier for Koda and her family. Thank you for giving this sweet girl the loving home she deserves!

HIDDEN GEM OF THE WEEK!
Sponsored by Team Lyders - Franchise of Taco Bell

Meet Maya!

This sweet and special girl is looking for a home where she can truly shine. Maya has limited eyesight, so a calm home with a predictable routine will help her feel safe and confident.

She enjoys the company of other dogs, can live with cats with a slow introduction, and would do best with older children who can respect her needs. Once Maya knows she can trust you, she'll be a loyal companion ready to fill your days with love.

Could Maya be the missing piece of your family?
