Testimonials “This is the first time I have not had to drag my son out the door to participate in a program. He looks forward to spending time at HSHV and it has had an impact on his grades, behavior and social skills. THANK YOU!” ~ JV Parent Humane Society of Huron Valley | (734) 662-5585 | www.hshv.org
Testimonials “As a student preparing for college and a career, I know the importance of volunteer experience. Also as a high school student, volunteering didn’t sound like a very appealing experience to me. I was more than a little bit reluctant to donate my time and effort to someone for absolutely no money. However, my sentiments soon reversed when I found myself volunteering my time at the Humane Society of Huron Valley. I joined the Junior Volunteer Club as a way of gaining required volunteer hours, but I ended it with a new understanding of what it means to truly care about something. Being at the Humane Society changed my life and I learned how to give expecting nothing in return except for the gratitude of the recipient .” ~ Megan, age 17, Junior Volunteer Humane Society of Huron Valley | (734) 662-5585 | www.hshv.org
Testimonials “I wanted to reach out and say a big thank you to you for all your coordinating for the Junior Volunteers. My son came home tonight talking about all the ways he wants to continue to learn and contribute to the HVHS community. I appreciate the way that he has been valued and taught and how he feels connected and valuable .” ~JV Parent Humane Society of Huron Valley | (734) 662-5585 | www.hshv.org
Testimonials I love Camp PAWS! I want to be a veterinarian when I get big and I learned a lot about how to care for animals and to make sure I don’t smush bugs outside. I’ll make sure my little brother doesn’t do that either because sometimes he does that. ~ Jackson, age 7 Humane Society of Huron Valley | (734) 662-5585 | www.hshv.org
