The Cherryland Humane Society is vastly expanding its programs to attain levels of service never before experienced. The focus will be to bring resolution to the many problems pets face today. Fundamental to that effort is the new CHS Shelter and Adoption and Humane Education and Conference Center. We opened the doors to the new facility on July 23, 2002. Already, the new facility has provided many new opportunities for service.

View a floor plan of our new facility and a list of rooms with needed funding levels here.

We are conducting an ongoing capital fund raising campaign to help pay for the new facility. We are tremendously grateful to the many individuals who have donated to the CHS Building Fund. Entire rooms in the new facility have been provided by some very generous donors. There is much more to be done, however.

Your contribution can make a lasting difference as we diligently endeavor to enhance the quality of life for all pets, end the very serious pet overpopulation problem, resolve the problems of animal abuse and neglect, strengthen the human/animal bond, promote the importance of pets to mankind, teach life lessons that pets have to offer, and find responsible, humane homes for all homeless pets. Each donor will be perpetually recognized with a nameplate placed on a donation board according to giving levels, displayed permanently in the lobby of the new facility. Those donating entire rooms will not only have such nameplates, but also will have a plaque with their name and picture placed at the entrance to the room named for them.

Your CHS Building Fund Donation can be made online. You may also wish to consider a gift of personal property. Please call Mike Cherry at 231-946-5116 for additional information or literature. We will also be pleased to schedule a personal meeting if you so desire. Please accept our heartfelt appreciation in advance of your help.
