If you need a Valentine this February, look no further than cream-colored Sunrise!

Sunrise is just as pretty as the beautiful morning colors she’s named after. Her life may have started out rough, but since she came to HSWM, her mornings are much brighter! She loves being petted and rubs on her foster mom all the time for affection.

Laser pointers are her favorite toys, and she'd do great in a home with another cat. There is also a dog in the house that she’s fine with, as long as he doesn’t chase her! Sunrise’s wish is to be adopted by a chill family that has a quiet environment for her to keep learning and blossom into the kitty I'm meant to be. Could you make her dream come true?

Help Support Dogs Seized from Norton Shores

This past week HSWM was notified of a home disguised as a 'rescue' that had dozens of animals living in terrible conditions. It was so much worse than responders expected.

There were nearly 80 dogs living in a tiny home and shed. They were living on top of each other, on floors that had rotted through from all of the urine and feces that had soaked in. The home was so bad it was deemed unlivable by building inspectors after the removal of all of the dogs. We have partnered with other local animal welfare groups to take in a portion of these dogs, but as the investigation is ongoing, we have no idea how long they will be with us, or what their medical needs will be.

We do know they have a long road ahead of them, and are committed to keeping them safe, healthy, and loved until they are able to find their forever homes--but we need your help. Please give what you can to help support these pets on their road to recovery! Please give through our website at hswestmi.org/give, or through our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/donate/8751121361627054/
