Capital Area Humane Society

Capital Area Humane Society The Capital Area Humane Society (CAHS) is a non-profit, animal-welfare organization in Lansing, MI. More than 10,000 animals come through our doors each year.

At the Capital Area Humane Society, we are passionate about animals. Our wide variety of programs and services exist to serve the pets and people of Mid-Michigan. We have an excellent staff of nearly 40 animal lovers who see each adoption as a victory. More than 2,500 volunteers devote 32,000+ hours of time each year to ensure our animals are properly socialized, exercised, and loved. The shelter

receives no tax dollars or government funding and relies on the generosity of donors to help us provide love, food, shelter, and medical care to homeless and abandoned pets. We are a local, private, and independent animal welfare organization founded in Lansing in 1936 and all donations and gifts directed to the CAHS are used to assist the animals in the greater Lansing community.

PET OF THE WEEK!
Sponsored by Team Lyders

Meet Nova, our 2-year-old velvet beauty with a heart as soft as her coat. She came back to us through no fault of her own, and while the shelter can make her a little nervous, her true self shines the moment she’s out of her kennel—calm, affectionate, and always ready to offer a paw for extra love.

Nova is sharp as a tack and currently learning the agility course here at CAHS. She loves being close to her people and will thrive with a patient, steady family. She previously lived with another dog and may do well again with slow, respectful introductions.

She’ll need a bit of time, a consistent routine, and gentle guidance to help her feel secure, but this sweet, loyal girl has so much love to give.

Nova is spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines.

Our Spay & Neuter Clinic is making a difference every day.
In October, we helped hundreds of pets live healthier lives and prevented countless unwanted litters.

But the demand for affordable spay and neuter surgeries and other veterinary care continues to grow—and our current clinic simply can’t keep up.

Expanding and relocating our Spay & Neuter Clinic will allow us to serve even more animals, more efficiently.

You can be part of the solution. Learn more about the campaign at www.CAHSCampaign.org.

(SMALL) PETS OF THE WEEK!

UPDATE! These gals have been adopted!! Congratulations ladies!

Meet Sage, Willow, and Stormy — a delightful trio of bonded female guinea pigs searching for a loving home together!

These three lovely ladies share a close friendship and a calm, gentle energy that makes them a joy to be around. At 4 years old, Willow charms with her beautiful mix of white, black, and calico fur, while Sage and Stormy complete the trio with their own unique personalities and sweet dispositions.

Though they haven’t been handled often, with a bit of patience and kind attention, they’re sure to blossom into affectionate companions. This adorable group has previously lived comfortably around children, cats, and dogs, showing they can adjust well to a variety of homes.

If you’re ready to fill your space with soft squeaks, cozy cuddles, and endless charm, Sage, Willow, and Stormy are eager to meet you!

For more information, please call the shelter at (517) 626-6060 or email our adoption staff at [email protected].
