Livingston County Humane Society

Our Mission

The mission of the Livingston County Humane Society (LCHS) is to place each animal who comes to us into a good, loving home while promoting responsible pet care. We are dedicated to rescuing and caring for homeless animals, providing them with a safe, compassionate environment until they find their perfect forever families.

Who We Are

Founded on the support of our community, LCHS is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that relies entirely on contributions, grants, and memberships to fund our operations. We operate independently as a private shelter—we are not supported by tax dollars and are not affiliated with Livingston County Animal Control. For over twenty years, we have been a beacon of hope for pets in need, powered by the generosity of supporters like you.

How We Help

At our facility located in the village of Rowe, just outside of Pontiac, our dedicated staff provides essential medical care, spay and neuter services, and enrichment activities to keep our animals healthy and happy. We believe that every pet deserves a second chance, and our team works passionately to ensure each animal receives the attention and care they need while they wait for their new beginning.

Your Adoption Journey

We are here to help you find a companion who truly fits your home and heart. Our staff is happy to answer questions, facilitate meet-and-greets, and provide guidance to ensure a smooth transition for both you and your new pet. We view adoption as a joyful, lifelong partnership and strive to make the process as supportive as possible for every family.
