Meet Sweet Mimi Our Pet of the Week Who Needs a Loving Home

Are you looking for a medium-sized pup who thinks she's a lap dog, with a sweet face and the most precious underbite in the world? Meet Mimi, waiting for a loving home at the Humane Society of West Michigan!

Mimi enjoys walks, car rides, and meeting new people, but cuddling is her true calling! Wrapped up like a pup-urrito, she'll snooze by your side (or on top of you) and shower you with kisses. This little lady has a soft spot for humans, including kids, and would love a place in your heart and your home.

Learn more about Mimi and the other pets in our care at hswestmi.org or swing by during our open hours this week to let her show you her expert snuggle skills!

Thank you Subaru!

We'd like to give a HUGE thank you to Fox Subaru in Grand Rapids, Subaru of America, and those who purchased Subaru in the past year and chose HSWM as the charity of choice!

We were blown away when presented with a $25,336 donation recently to support our rescue pets! As a 100% donor-funded nonprofit, and with over 4,000 animals relying on us every year, a contribution like this one makes a world of difference.

Thank you, Subaru team and customers, for choosing to make an impact on the lives of rescue pets at HSWM!
