We had the honor to be Wally’s home in his senior years. Wally was a very special boy who enjoyed living the slow, easy life. He enjoyed camping, gardening, and a good nap. He taught us so much like to enjoy life’s little moments and the beauty in the living life to its fullest everyday. We miss him so much and encourage all to give senior animals a second chance you will never regret. 

This is Oliver. He was quite the rambunctious one! I found him as a kitten in the Walmart parking lot one cold morning. He was very adventurous, had to sit in every box we brought in and on every piece of paper he found. He loved everybody who came through our door. We lost him recently probably to an undiagnosed cardiac condition at a young age of about 6-he’s very much missed by all of us. 

This is 16 year-old Punkin who I lost to lymphoma recently.  He was so much company after my spouse died. He was a sweet little soul, I really miss him.

In Memory of Charlotte.

Sammy was the BESTEST. BOY. EVER., my heart dog, and gone far, far too soon. I’ll never not miss you, baby boy.

Cubby was a chihuahua/corgi mix and the sweetest, most loving pet. I adopted Cubby when he was 2 years old from a shelter in Southfield and he rapidly integrated into our family. He loved to travel and was always excited to go on car rides or visit northern Michigan. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with congestive heart failure last November and after a 5 month battle, passed away peacefully in April, 4 months after his 10th birthday.

Brandi was one of the sweetest and most gentle dogs I’ve ever known. She had a kind soul and I feel so lucky to have had the pleasure of helping take care of her and her kitty sister Bootsie when their mom was away. Brandi, you will always be remembered.

Bella was rescued about age 6, no one knew for sure her age.  My family was lucky enough to share the following 8 years with her.  Thank you, sweet Bella. Such a good dog.

Thank you and all the staff and volunteers at HSoMC. -William Smith

My mother loved her rescued pets and wanted her memorial donations to go to HSoMC.

When I was nine, our cat passed away.  That very same day a stray cat showed up at our back door demanding to be let inside!  We adopted that cat and my father named her “Dybbuk” which means:  wandering spirit that enters and possesses the body.

Sunny was 18 and a half when she crossed the Rainbow Bridge.  She was the sweetest, most loving companion, especially the past few years after my husband died.   She was the best kitty ever.

Born in Utah.
Flew to MI.
Named after the Stanley Cup.
Lord of the house.
Loved beyond measure.

My mother Yoshie Ziarno has selflessly helped animals and people her whole life. She donates generously but also has personally rescued dozens of cats, taking them in or finding homes for them. She just turned 85 and continues to do so, in spite of recent lengthy hospitalization and major heart surgery! -Marie Catenacci 

Lis considered herself the “Queen” of all the dogs who lived in her apartment complex. Her incredibly generous spirit and love of life touched everyone who knew her, human or canine. She is truly missed. Rest in peace, Ela. -Cathie Stewart

“A notorious couple of cats.” -T.S. Eliot

Uncle Leon loved animals, and we are pleased to make this donation in his memory. Carolyn, Cathy, Sharon,  and Alan.

Dick Irey had a big heart for animals in need, and a particular fondness for cats. Here he is with two of their 6 rescued felines. They all miss him. -Shauna

I knew Rhoda only through my job but each time I saw her we talked about her work with the HSoMC beginning back in the days when the shelter was run by the county. She would tear up describing the conditions back then and she was the first person to tell me of Humane Society’s plan to take over the shelter. She passed away since then but would have been thrilled to know about these cat condos!

Bill Bangert was a great friend and coworker and was well known for being a story and joke teller, animal lover, volunteer, and traveler. He loved all animals, four legged and two winged. He will be missed.

Gaft was a part of our family for 15 wonderful years. He was always a great companion and practically a third child in the family. Gaft enjoyed playing with kids at home, chasing bunnies and squirrels outside, and hiking at the City Forest. We absolutely loved his easy-going personality and miss our pup so much! -Olga

you left your paw prints on my heart.  Miss you girl.

Brian Bishop loved his only daughter, grandson’s, and granddog Brie.  He would be delighted to know he was able to help someone else’s pet be healthy & happy.

Lucy was full of happiness and life.  Her tail (and entire hind end) never stopped wagging!
Her life ended to too soon. She was 4 1/2 years old.
She will be forever missed by her human and fur family.

Karl and Diane Nold

Belle joined our life on a snowy day in December 2008, and quickly became a vital part of our family. We had nearly 15 years with her, and those years weren’t remotely enough. We’ll always remember her and the joy she brought us. She is, was, and always will be, Best of Her Name.

Although we didn’t get as much time with Zach as we would have liked, we still believe the world can be a better place because he was here. Zach loved all animals, but he especially loved his rescue dog Mya. We can’t think of a better way to honor Zach’s memory, than donating to an organization that takes such good care of our furry friends. #youarelovedzach

Our aunt, Mary Lou Sperry, came to cats and dogs rather late in her life, after retirement. She got both of her cats from the Humane Society of Midland County. She dotes on them.

Mary Lou has 4 children, 7 grandchildren, and NINE great-grands and she manages to keep track of everyone!

We celebrate her 90th birthday this month!

We “fostered” Pancho from the HSOMC in 2012. He had never lived off a chain, couldn’t walk on hard floors, and we never let him go after that. He was unequivocally happy, high energy, and had the ability to always find the most comfy position to rest. I thank him for being the best dog to me and my young boys and teaching me that pitbull breeds are not what the world makes them out to be. He passed unexpectedly in 2023 and will be forever in our hearts.

Angel was adopted by Chris and John Noone in May 2019 (the day before Mother’s Day). Angel was an angel. She was about 11 years old and deaf when adopted. Sadly, she passed away in August 2023. Angel was a bright light in our entire family. She was very gentle and helped guide our family’s other rescue dogs. Angel was loved very much and will always be greatly missed!

Libby Lu arrived terrified and would sit and shake uncontrollably. She was comfortable around other dogs, however feared humans. Libby did learn to trust and enjoyed all the attention. She had an interesting sense of humor and would crawl all over you for cheesecake or anything cheese related. Her nickname became “Snuggle Monkey.”  She finally realized after a year that this home was “her home” and began to feel safe. She would prance around the house with her head held high and she would get the zoomies with the other dogs. We were cheated and only had Libby three years before she passed unexpectedly. She will always hold a huge part of our hearts.
