At Little Traverse Bay Humane Society, compassion isn’t an occasional moment — it’s an everyday promise. From helping a family keep their beloved pet during a crisis, to caring for fragile newborn kittens, to welcoming animals in need with open arms, every act of kindness begins right here at home.
This Giving Tuesday, your support fuels the behind-the-scenes work our community depends on — the stories you see, and the countless stories you don’t.
And thanks to four generous families, every donation we raise will be TRIPLED up to $5,000, and then DOUBLED for the following $10,000! Don’t wait, multiply your impact for local pets and the people who love them.
Help compassion happen — today, tomorrow, and every day.
Your gifts in action!
radish’s story
Radish and his brother, Carrot, came to us from an outdoor colony after their mother passed away. They were far too young to survive on their own — sick, fragile, and unthrifty.
Our staff bottle-fed them around the clock, kept them warm, and gave them the critical care they needed until a foster stepped in and continued the miracles.
Today, both kittens are healthy, thriving, and adopted into loving homes.
Because of you, their story grew into something beautiful.
TEDDY’S STORY
Teddy arrived with nowhere else to go — emaciated, weak, and barely able to stand. When the late-night call came in, our team said yes.
He spent several weeks in a loving foster home, slowly gaining strength and weight. At his lowest, Teddy was one of the skinniest dogs our team had ever seen. But with care, compassion, and over 35 pounds gained, he transformed.
Today, Teddy is thriving in a family who adores him.
Because of you, his story didn’t end where it began.
FALKOR’S STORY
When Falkor arrived from a Michigan shelter, he had multiple leg injuries, open wounds, and exposed bone. His future was uncertain, and his options were few. But because of supporters like you, we were able to say yes.
Falkor underwent multiple surgeries and countless bandage changes — daily at first, then weekly — and our team never gave up on him.
Today, he’s living the life he nearly lost.
Together, we made it happen.
