Throughout its 125 years of service, the Michigan Humane Society has played an integral role in the development of Detroit and its commitment to social service.

Palmer, who later went on to become a U.S. Senator. These dedicated individuals possessed a vision that set the course for todayís Michigan Humane Society.
