Humane Society of West Michigan

While we may not be able to actually talk to the animals, we do know a heck of a lot about them. And it’s our goal to share with as many people as we possibly can the information, support and health guidance they need to make their pet their lifelong friend. One of our most important jobs is providing humane education programs which promote compassion, respect, responsibility and care for all animals. We do so through a variety of interesting and educational programs which help children and adults strengthen the human-animal bond. Our Humane Education Camps are fun and educational camps designed for children ages 5 through 16. During each affordable week-long session, children learn about animal safety, how to be a responsible pet owner, shelter operations, careers in animal-related fields, and animals with interesting and helpful jobs. Kids are encouraged to share what they learn with their family, friends and neighbors. With the help of dogs, cats and critters from our shelter, and animal experts from our community, it’s a dog-gone good time!
