Harold - New Sponsored Dog

Pure Bliss!!!! That's what Harold shows you when he's getting his back scritched! He is just the sweetest little dude, who sad to say, came in to HSHV as a cruelty rescue who had been left with no food, water or shelter during the freezing weather. He is resilient though, and still loves people! He's a bit shy at first, but once he warms up Harold is one of those doggies whose whole body wiggles with happiness when he sees you. Harold is about a year old. He's got some special adoption requirements because of his breed. He's been neutered and given his shots. Are you looking for a loving companion who will be loyal and make you laugh? Come visit Harold, he's got those qualities and more!

Happy Birthday Bleux!

Bleux celebrated his second birthday this past Saturday. Yep, he's a Valentine's pup! He worked at the Biscuit Co. on his special day while he played with his friends and got lots of scratches and kisses too. Bleux couldn't have been more excited to eat his cake. He grabbed it off the plate and gobbled it up!


All in all, he had a great birthday. Thanks to everyone who stopped in to wish him a happy birthday!

Poppy the Doggy

We are very pleased to announce that we are carrying first book of the Poppy the Doggy children's series, "Happy Birthday Poppy."

Marble - New Sponsored Dog ADOPTED!!

Can you guess how Marble got her name? If you think it's because she has a big round spot on her side... you're right! She's a sweet gal, 7 years old, who came to HSHV as a stray. Marble has beautiful red-tick coloring, and while she is a little shy, she is a typical hound and will follow her nose anywhere. She should be in a family with older kids (at least 10 years old) and in a family who likes to explore on walks! Marble was previously adopted and returned because she needs training the previous adoptee was unable to provide. Marble loves to hang out with people, and has been visiting us in the adoption center, where she's friendly with anyone who comes in looking to adopt. She is housetrained and she is ready to find a new home! Marble is a WALLFLOWER (orange): Shy yet charming canine searching for patient owner with relaxed lifestyle. Looking for gentle guidance to help her come out of her shell. Treat her sweet and kind and she'll blossom.

Happy Holidays!

Whew, we've had a busy holiday season! Thank you to all of our loyal, and new, customers who have helped make the season merry.

We spent much of November and December baking our organic, all natural treats and decorating fun, wintry ones too. Our pre-packaged holiday gift boxes containing a half pound of our flavored treats and two iced holiday treats were near impossible to keep in stock thanks to the great article in the Ann Arbor News. That wasn't the only place you could find us during the holiday season. The Ann Arbor Chronicle posted a wonderful story about our treats and newest rescue, Bleux. Thanks for the positive bully press. Heaven knows, the bully breeds need it!


Not to be outdone by her new brother, Millie was also in the news. Ann Arbor Observer turned our little Millie into a cover girl by featuring her in the Holiday Gift Guide modeling a Slide-On Bandana made exclusively for the Biscuit Co.. Her newfound celebrity has certainly gone to her head as her list of puppy demands grow.

Buster & Mackenzie ~ a perfect pair! ADOPTED!

CONGRATULATIONS TO BUSTER AND MACKENZIE ON FINDING THEIR FOREVER HOMES!!

Buster and Mackenzie are a pair of very sweet beagles. They are at the Humane Society of Huron Valley because their owners divorced. It’s hard to believe that these two canine companions were left alone, but here they are hoping that they will find a family that will love them for the rest of their lives.
Buster is 5-years-old and the larger of the two. He weighs about 43 pounds. Mackenzie is 2-years-old and bit smaller, weighing in at 30 pounds. Mackenzie loves to play with her brother Buster. She’ll chase after her brother but will eventually take the lead when they go walking together. Both dogs are housebroken and really enjoy each other’s company. We want them to be adopted together because they are a “Perfect Pair”. Beagles make fantastic family pets but we do want whoever adopts them to be very familiar with the breed. Buster and Mackenzie are waiting for you!

Poppy Mart

Pit Bull Rescue Central, where education meets rescue, is holding their 5th annual Poppy Mart auction on eBay to raise money for PBRC's Fund which finances Spay/Neuter programs and other medical expenses to assist rescues and caretakers of pit bulls. PBRC is THE source for information concerning pit bull education, training, temperment, fostering questions and adoption. It's also a great way to connect with other responsible pit bull owners.

Poppy Mart will open Thursday, September 11th and run through Thursday, September 18th with 100% of the amount raised going to PBRC's Fund. The Biscuit Co. is very proud to announce that we were asked to contribute a donation to this wonderful cause. We have given 2 pounds of our organic, all natural treats plus a Planet Dog Orbee Ball and Planet Dog Orbee Bone. Please review Poppy Mart's guidelines for bidding on auction items. If you are not yet registered on eBay and would like to participate in this auction, please do so here.

PBRC and the Biscuit Co. appreciate your support of Poppy Mart. Happy Bidding!

Patrick the Pit bull

UPDATE - PATRICK WAS ADOPTED!! CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW HOME!!


Patrick is a 2-year-old pit bull with a great big smile and a gentle heart. He was found wandering as a stray and has been cared for by the Humane Society of Huron Valley for over three months now. Patrick has handsome green eyes and his favorite game is fetch. He’s a fun-loving dog who is naturally playful. He likes to go for long walks and then curl up next to you on the couch. Patrick eagerly waits for the day he will have his own forever home!

Patrick is intelligent and very active, so he's love to be live with an active family. Since Patrick weighs 42 pounds, we’d like him to be adopted into a family where kids are 10-years or older. Pit bulls make great companions. Unfortunately, media hype and unsavory people have cast a shadow on this loving breed. Irresponsible owners 

are one of the major causes for all the problems the breed faces today.

Please contact Humane Society of Huron Valley for more information on Patrick and all of the other wonderful pit bulls available for adoption.
