The public is welcome and encouraged to schedule an appointment at our full-service non-profit veterinary
clinic. Besides the great care and compassion, another great reason to use the HSHV Veterinary Clinic is
that your visit directly supports the care of animals in our shelter. And because our mission is to keep pets
with their families, we try to keep prices affordable.
Bountiful Bowls Pet Food Program:
Because funds are limited, the program should supplement your monthly supply of pet food and not be the
sole source of food for pets. You should expect to purchase food for your pets in addition to receiving the
program food to meet their full nutritional needs. This pet food pantry partners with Food Gatherers and
Ypsilanti Meals on Wheels to pass out food to furry residents.
Membership Terms:
1. Food for the program is donated to HSHV by the generosity of our community partners; therefore, we can
not guarantee that food is always available
2. Applicants must provide proof of Washtenaw County or Plymouth residency
3. Proper identification will be required each time food is picked up
4. Recipients cannot acquire more animals while participating in this program and will not be allowed to adopt

5. Monthly food pick up is on Sundays from noon-3 pm
6. Lost food buckets will be replaced at a charge of $5 a bucket
7. Membership may be revoked at the discretion of HSHV
8. This program is intended to provide temporary, supplemental assistance for up to 6 months. You may re-
apply in 6 months if your circumstances have not changed
9. All animals in the household must be spayed or neutered

Emergency Sheltering
Initially designed to give survivors of domestic violence a safe place for their companion animals while seeking shelter for themselves, today HSHV’s award-winning harbor program helps families in other urgent housing situations with no other options, including house fires, natural disasters, and owners experiencing a medical emergency. If you’re a local resident experiencing an emergency such as relocation after a house fire or natural disaster, need help during a personal medical emergency, or need temporary housing for your pet(s) due to a domestic abuse situation, please contact us. Housing is space dependent, and may not always be available. If housing is available, we will harbor your pet(s) for up to 14 days. HSHV also provides sterilization and vaccination for all harbored animals as a requirement of the program.
