Making The Lives of Ann Arbor's Abandoned Four-Legged Friends Easier

JUST RELEASED

Impacts of the recession in South East Michigan are not felt only by the two-legged creatures, but also by the furry four-legged kind. Every day we hear about more and more animals falling victim to the economic downturn.
  • Individuals facing foreclosure can no longer afford proper care and feeding of their animals...
  • Families move into new homes or apartments where they can no longer keep pets...
  • Homeowners who have pet emergencies can not cover these budget-busting expenses...
  • Preventative pet treatments are being postponed as families are slashing their budgets...
  • And many local animal shelters face overcrowding and under-funding...
In Washtenaw County alone there has been a 75 percent increase over 2008 in the number of animals being surrendered to the humane society. Just what are we to do?

In response, the Wickland Group has begun their Humane Society of Huron Valley emergency donation program. For home buyers and home sellers that work with the team, a cash donation valuing $250 - $500 will be donated to the Humane Society of your choice at the closing of sale.
