Kibble Konnection

Humane Society of West Michigan is proud to operate the Kibble Konnection, a pet food bank program which helps low-income pet owners provide food for their pets, in partnership with the Access of West Michigan Food Pantry network.
At Humane Society of West Michigan, we are dedicated to improving the well-being of pets and their families in our community. To further our mission of reducing pet overpopulation and ensuring every pet gets the best possible care, we are now requiring that all pets be spayed or neutered to utilize our resources. If your pet is not yet fixed, we are happy to assist you with low-cost or even no-cost spay/neuter services to make this process as easy as possible. The only exception to this requirement is if a licensed veterinarian determines that your pet is not medically able to undergo the procedure. (with provided proof) We appreciate your understanding and support in helping us create a healthier future for pets. If you have any questions or need assistance scheduling an appointment, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
