Little Traverse Bay Humane Society

We know that you realize the important role that animals play in our lives. They provide us with unconditional love, companionship, and loyalty. Sadly, there are still so many animals without a place to call home. With your help, the Little Traverse Bay Humane Society can provide a safe haven for these homeless dogs and cats while they await loving families. Every animal we take in is neutered, vaccinated, groomed, trained, exercised, and loved. This approach has created a noteworthy success rate. The Little Traverse Bay Humane Society placed hundreds of animals last year. Unfortunately, this care does come at a cost. We spend over $250 for each animal that comes through our door. Our programs, like the Ruff to Ready Scholarship Program and the Michael G. Phillips Good Samaritan Fund are what really separates our facility from the others. Because we medically treat the sick animals, it is important that we continually raise funds to help the homeless animals. When animals come to LTBHS, they are truly given a second chance!

    The Little Traverse Bay Humane Society is a no kill shelter that does incredible work. The shelter is warm and caring… and no matter how long a dog or cat has to stay there before finding their forever home, they have a great place to stay. Please vote for this organization, they get the most out of every dollar donated.

    LTBHS – none can beat their hard work and dedication.  I wish I could give to them as much as they give to every animal in their care.
