About this shelter

Humane Society of South Central Michigan in Battle Creek, MI

The Humane Society of South Central Michigan is a humane society located at 2500 Watkins Road in Battle Creek, Michigan, roughly 50 miles northwest of Grand Rapids. The shelter's lobby is open to the public Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from noon to 4:00 PM for donations and inquiries, while animal adoptions are handled by appointment for approved adopters who submit an adoption application. HSSCM cares for cats and dogs and operates independently of government funding or support from HSUS or other national organizations, relying entirely on community donations to fund operations at its Watkins Road facility. Beyond adoption, the organization offers programs such as a Canine Training Institute, youth engagement initiatives, and community resources connecting residents with local animal-related services and ordinances.
