Mission & Impact
Caring for Pets, Strengthening Community.
Our Journey
From Rescue to Vet Care
The Missaukee Humane Society (MHS) is a private nonprofit animal welfare organization committed to the care, rehabilitation, and rehoming of homeless animals. Our services include sheltering, adoption, foster care, veterinary support, and community education and outreach.
Our organization receives no federal, state, or county funding.
Every life saved depends on private donations, grants, and the steadfast support of people like you who believe in giving animals a second chance.
Our Mission
Protecting Pets. Empowering People. Elevating Care.
Our work also includes public education and accessible veterinary services.
In 2025, our mission expanded with the opening of the LeDoulx Veterinary Clinic, made possible through the generosity of Ernest and Betty LeDoulx. This full-service facility increases our ability to deliver affordable, high-quality veterinary care—not only for shelter animals, but also for pets across the region—helping families keep their companions healthy and at home.
Goals That Guide Our Mission
Goals for the Animal
To ensure that every animal entrusted to our care is placed in a safe, loving home that meets their physical and emotional needs. Until such placement is found, we provide a nurturing, secure environment and remain a resource for ongoing support throughout the animal’s lifetime.
Goals for the Community
Our goal is to strengthen the bond between people and animals by promoting responsible pet ownership, providing access to affordable veterinary care through the LeDoulx Clinic, and offering education that fosters compassion. Through community outreach, adoption opportunities, and clinic services, we work to ensure families have the resources to keep their pets healthy, happy, and at home.
Goals for the Adopters
Give every adopter the tools to succeed: transparent behavior and medical information, practical training and care tips, and access to resources—including the LeDoulx Clinic and our support team—so their pet stays healthy, well-matched, and truly part of the family.
