Become a Shelter Sponsor!

Shelter Sponsorships are seen by the thousands of visitors who come to Humane Society of West Michigan each year and are a thoughtful way to memorialize a beloved family member, pay tribute to a family pet (past or present), and are an effective way to advertise a business. These annual sponsorships also promote community involvement and show support of HSWM’s work. Click the button below to view more information on the Shelter Sponsorship Program.

Where do your donations go?

General Fund
The HSWM General Fund is an umbrella fund that includes our most important areas such as animal care and support. Donations to the ​General Fund help with high priority items including food, litter, microchips, spay and neuter surgeries, and so much more! ​Taking care of our animals and providing humane education in the community requires significant supplies and equipment, and we could not do it without you. 

​
​Community Resource Program 
At HSWM we want to do all we can to keep  animals with their families. Our Community Resource Program is a hub for any pet-related resources needed, including: medical support, behavioral support, temporary housing, fee-waived stray surrender and reclaim, community cats programming/TNR, public spay/neuter, re-homing assistance, lost and found support, and anything that can support pets remaining with their families whenever possible.

Buddy Fund
HSWM’s Buddy Fund was started in January of 2003 by Deborah Meijer and has since become an integral part of our veterinary care program.  The fund was originally developed to help Buddy, a yellow Labrador Retriever who came to us with a badly broken leg. Thanks to all those who contributed to the special Buddy Fund, his leg was repaired and he was adopted into a loving and caring home. This fund supports animals that need above-and-beyond medical care when they come to HSWM.
