Visiting the CAHS

Walking through the Capital Area Humane Society is a heartwarming experience. The atmosphere is bright, open and optimistic. You'll see a smile on the face of a child petting a kitten, joy as newlyweds adopt their first dog and pride as an owner teaches her dog how to "shake" for the first time in obedience class.

Surrendering an Animal

If you need to surrender your pet, please call the CAHS to make an appointment.  When you bring in your animal we will evaluate him to see if he is a good candidate for adoption.  Please note that there is a fee to surrender your animal, which will go toward the care of your animal while he is at the CAHS.  Click here for more details on surrendering your pet. Please call or email us for more information: 517-626-6060, entry@cahs-lansing.org

Please note that we can only accept animals that are surrendered by their owner. If you have a stray animal, please call your local animal control.

By the Numbers

In an effort to better quantify the work we do, the Capital Area Humane Society has recently embraced the Asilomar Accords. The Accords are a series of "best practices" agreed upon by animal welfare agencies across the country.
