You may not see the moment a scared dog wags its tail for the first time... or a shy cat curls up in someone’s lap.

But your support creates those moments.

Every pedal, every pint, every dollar, it all adds up to lives saved.
Let’s make those moments happen. 💛

🐾 BIG LAKE PET FOOD PANTRY – EVERY THURSDAY! 🐾

Need a little help keeping your furry friends fed? We've got you covered! 🐶🐱
Every Thursday from 12 PM - 5 PM, we offer walk-in pet food pick-up at Big Lake Humane Society (2640 Marquette Ave, Muskegon, MI 49442).

This program has been one of our most impactful shelter abatement efforts—helping families stay together and pets stay out of shelters.

In 2024 alone, we distributed nearly 37,000 pounds of pet food! 🎉

👉 What you need to know:
✔️ Supplemental support—We’re here to help, but we can’t be your full-time pet food provider.
✔️ Limit: 2 visits per month per household.
✔️ Proof of income is required to qualify.
✔️ No support for breeders or colony cat feeders (our cat food supply is very limited).
✔️ Emergency food needs? Call us to schedule a pickup outside pantry hours—we’ll do our best to help! (No unannounced walk-ins, please!)

📩 Want to help?

By sharing this post you give Casper a better chance of being adopted.

Share away!

Adopt a Pet with 92.1 WGHN is brought to you by Haven Animal Hospital and Must Love Dogs!

Don’t let the name fool you — Casper is far from spooky! This handsome boy may have a slightly ghastly look, but he’s all heart. Sweet, affectionate, and oh-so-snuggly, Casper loves nothing more than cozying up for some quality cuddle time.

He adores being brushed and groomed, and will happily sit still while you pamper him — it's one of his favorite things! Whether you’re offering gentle pets or just some quiet companionship, Casper is always ready to soak up the love.

Casper gets along well with both cats and dogs, making him a great addition to multi-pet homes. He’d thrive in a calm, loving environment where he can continue being the affectionate, easygoing guy he is.

Casper is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and ready to find his forever home. If you’re looking for a mellow, loving companion with a heart of gold, Casper might just be your perfect match. 💕🐱

🎉 THIS WEDNESDAY!!🎉

On Wednesday, June 25th from 4pm-5:30pm we will be honoring Barbara, our Senior Kennel Tech, for 25 years of dedicated service to animals in need!

Barb's care and compassion has impacted thousands of Furiends lives. If you have spent time with Barb, you know her heart is all in, everyday, caring for the "babies" she holds so dear.

Please join us in our agility yard for a celebration where we will show a small token of our gratitude and appreciation for such a long-standing pillar in our animal welfare community.

If you would like to bring a dish to pass, dessert or card, you are welcome to.
In true Barb fashion, she asks for no gifts to her, just to the animals.

Please email [email protected] with any questions.
