Tom's Story

Tom is a very shy, sweet guy who’s looking for a patient and gentle home. He would do best with someone who can move slowly when first meeting him and when bringing him home, giving him the time and space he needs to feel safe. He’s still learning what it means to be loved by people—and discovering just how cozy and wonderful life can be. Each day brings new little wins, and with kindness and consistency, Tom will continue to blossom.

Please review the pet adoption process below. Adopters must be 18 years or older. Meet our adoptable pets. Browse our adoptable pets online at MichiganHumane.org or call 866-MHUMANE for more information. What to bring with you: • Driver’s license (or State of Michigan ID card) with current address. • Veterinary records for any current pets or pets owned in the last five (5) years or provide vet’s phone number. • All members of your household: Michigan Humane prefers (and in some cases requires) that all members of the household meet and are comfortable with the pet. • Any canine family members: Michigan Humane prefers (and in some cases requires) dog-to-dog meetings between your current dog(s) and potential new canine family members. Meet with an adoption counselor. Our trained adoption counselors will meet with you to ensure the pet is a good fit for your home, family and lifestyle. This is a great time to ask any questions you may have. Then, you can spend time with the animal or animals you are interested in. Complete the adoption. Please allow an hour or more for the adoption process. Save time by downloading a Preliminary Adoption Form online found on our website MichiganHumane.org. Ask about our valuable adoption package and convenient additional services that are available such as microchip implantation for dogs ($10 discount at time of adoption). Payment types accepted: Cash, Check, Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover. Once the adoption process is completed, a dog, cat or rabbit who is already spayed or neutered will go home with you the same day. Otherwise, the pet will be sterilized (normally scheduled for the next non-holiday weekday) at our on-site veterinary center before going home. Out of state adoptions: Michigan Humane will adopt to out of state residents who travel to our adoption centers to complete the adoption process, including the spaying and neutering of intact animals. Please call the adoption center in advance for information on our hold policy. For health and safety reasons, we are not able to ship animals.
