Shelters house many animals who are in need of homes and loving families. Adoption is a great way to give animals a second chance. When you adopt, you are also freeing up space at the local shelter. This gives room to other animals in need. Ashley Hilberg is a manager at the Alpena Huron Humane Society; she shines light on the beauty of pet adoption.

“With adoption here at HHS, we vaccinate and we de-worm the animals. We get the animals up to date on everything we help get the unwanted population of animals off the street. Our prices are low. We are here to help the animals.”

The benefits of adoption are not only for the animals. People who have a pet feel less lonely, have better cardiovascular health and also have an increased outlook on life.

Pet adoption fees are low. They range between 100 and 200 dollars. The price depends on the animal.

Ashley Hilberg emphasizes that “the more animals we get out, the more we can help and get in.

If you are looking to add a furry friend to your family, reach out to the humane society and give hope to a rescued animal.
