UPDATE ON THE MICHIGAN HUMANE - HOWELL
Thanks Harvey Larson for inviting this week's speakers, Joe Miskovich and Matt Pepper with what used to be known as the Livingston County Humane Society on Dorr Road. They are now a part of the Michigan Humane, headquartered in Bingham Farms, with Adoption Centers and Veterinary Services in Detroit, Westland, Rochester Hills.
Matt Pepper (pictured above with a pooch) is the President and CEO of Michigan Humane (which dropped the word society recently). They merged with the Livingston shelter, clinic and adoption center in April 2019. Joe Miskovich is chairman of the board of directors for the local group.
