"The staff and directors at LTBHS love their shelter guests, and successfully place them in loving homes. They are a major source of community activism and well-regarded by the community at large. I adopted Fozzie Bear at 4 months and he is now 16years old."

"Little Traverse Bay Humane Society is a stellar facility with passionate dedicated Board, Director, and volunteers! We adopted our boy Charlie from them about 6 years ago - they were so accommodating and helpful in the process as well as after. We will be back- (hopefully later than sooner! Want Charlie to live a long life!) I am a donating artist for their annual fundraiser, and thinking of applying to be on their Board as a matter of fact!"

"They were very informative prior to us driving across the state to possibly adopt a dog. We adopted the perfect fit for our family, and any questions we've had since have been answered promptly. Very helpful and kind people."

"We adopted our sweet Wallace at LTBHS almost 7 years ago after the devastating loss of our dog Franklin. Wally was rescued from a high kill shelter in Texas after Hurricane Harvey, along with about 70 other pups. He is a gem, we love this dog SO MUCH. He’s such a perfect boy, well behaved, quiet, just the right size. He’s some sort of whippet and lab mix and so, so special to us! Thank you LTBHS for rescuing those pups!"

"We adopted our dog Bean from LTBS about 7 years ago as a puppy. Bean was part of a group of puppies that came up from the south for a chance to live. This shelter is wonderful at being able to bring in dogs from high kill shelters and give them a second chance at life. We love our Bean and we love rescues!"
