Great facility. Well organized and nicely appointed. They care very much for the animals in their charge and do an excellent job of providing the services needed in order to facilitate a successful adoption.

After rescuing two cats from here, I loyally brought them in for shots and appointments. When one of them was about to die, I was met with "we're too busy to help you right now". Knowing that I was on my way to put my cat down. Then 20 more questions ensued about my cat and where I got it, and who saw her. as she is dying in my arms. Now I will never get another cat, or take any animal there again.

Absolutely an amazing facility! We were worried that our German Shepherd wouldn't be able to be boarded ever again, since our last boarder said that he was not welcome back after a first time 1 night stay. Little Traverse Bay Humane Society took him in with open arms & immediately knew how to deal with him & made our dog comfortable! They kept us informed with how he has been doing the whole time.

We signed up for the trainer sessions at Little Traverse Bay to work with him also while he stayed here. She has been amazing & so helpful for Ruger & for us to understand what works best with our German Shepherd, she brought tears of joy to us as we read her email update on how he was doing. We are so grateful that they gave our boy a chance! I could not recommend a better place to bring your animals and 100% know they are absolutely getting the best knowledgable care & love! We cannot thank them enough & are so blessed by all of the wonderful staff that take care of Ruger!

Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Everything was clean. Took great care of the animals here. Would recommend to everyone.

Think we got the only cat I liked. There were maybe 10 cats to pick from and only 1 cat had any showmanship and stood up to introduce himself. I'm low-allergic (pet dander in the eyes) so we bought an air purifier and it's only been 2 weeks since we've had the cat and he's adjusted really well. Obviously I'm a hand picked view but if we're talking the facility they are as professional as a pet shelter should be. If you live within the area and look for animals to friend I'd try here because of all the lasting features besides the shelter aspect.

Great people who go above and beyond. We have a very difficult to nail trim pug that they take the best care of, as well as our other 2 sweeties! Thanks so much! Our babies say thank you too!

Saw a great photo of Irene and saw the love and intelligence in her eyes. She's been with me for a month now and had found her forever home.
