2018 Annual Report

Annual Report 2018

705 West Beecher Street Adrian, Michigan | 517-263-3463 | lenhumanesoc.org

2018 was packed full of challenges, perseverance, teamwork and miracles.

We assisted Lenawee County Animal Control in rescuing over 300 animals from a suspected puppy mill in Lenawee County between December 2017 and March 2018, setting the groundwork for our most monumental year in life-saving yet.

138 of those survivors were housed at Lenawee Humane Society.

4 other organizations teamed up with us to help house the other dogs, cats, horses and birds:

• Monroe Humane Society

• Branch County Humane Society

• Cascades Humane Society

• Jackson Animal Shelter

Foster families, volunteers, and donors rushed to help. For the first time, these animals finally experienced love.

Thank you to everyone who helped us save more lives in 2018 than ever before.
