My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Yzma
Yzma is a female Husky/Shar Pei/Retriever mix. DOB: April of 2022
Adoption fee: $100.00

I am shy to new people. I have a quirky personality and get all giddy when I am nervous or uncomfortable in situations. I would do my best with someone with rescue experience.

I have not been exposed to much other than what is at the shelter. I have not had the best experiences meeting other dogs. I would be best as the only dog in my home or may adjust with an older dog that really doesn’t care if I am there or not. I will be afraid of cats but may adjust to a dog savvy cat using a slow positive introduction.

I will need a physically fenced yard at my new home. I would adjust better to a quiet home. I walk well on a leash and as I grow my confidence with my new family I will enjoy exploring new places.

I am a very loving girl and deserve a chance to find out what it's like to be in a home.

More about this shelter

About Us:
We are the area's nonprofit advocate, sanctuary and source for companion animals since 1887.

Our Mission:
-to protect animals from suffering and cruelty
-to provide safe and responsible care for unwanted or abused companion animals
-to enhance the lives of animals and people through education, adoption, and foster care.

We believe in second chances at the Humane Society of South Central Michigan. Our service area includes all of Calhoun County and parts of Kalamazoo, Barry and Branch counties. We keep animals as long as it takes to find a good home for adoption once the animal passes temperament testing and is checked for good health. The Watkins Road shelter cares for up to 100 animals a day, and adopts out more than 500 animals a year. Countless area residents use the Society’s animal care, adoption and education programs each year. The Humane Society is overseen by a board of directors. We do not receive any government or tax dollars, or national humane organization funding. Our services are made possible by people in our community who care about homeless cats and dogs - people like you!

The Humane Society of South Central Michigan values:
-The ethical and humane treatment of animals
-Its role as a shelter for animals that suffer from pain, fear, and neglect
-Community accountability for the welfare of its animals
-Responsible stewardship of our resources
-Community involvement to achieve our goals
-Education about responsible pet ownership
-The joy of sharing a life with animal companions
