We are a non-profit animal welfare group committed to the rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption of at-risk pets from pound facilities. We rescue dogs and cats from everywhere in Michigan — and anywhere else there is a cat or dog in need. With our rescue shelter and foster homes, we have between 75 and 100 dogs and puppies and between 60 and 80 cats and kittens in our care at any time.
We are an an all-volunteer group with the exception of paid kennel staff. More than 95 percent of the money we receive is spent directly on animal rescue and rehabilitation. Our only sources of revenue are adoption fees, donations, and fundraising efforts.
We are a dedicated, no-kill organization. We provide comfortable and nurturing living quarters for homeless pets, even when a pet needs to stay with us for months or even longer while waiting for the right adoption match. We provide skilled and well-trained animal care providers at our renovated rescue shelter. We give each animal a medical check and medical care as needed. We talk with potential adopters and ask them to fill out an adoption application form to help us identify suitable matches for each animal and each adopter. All other organizational commitments and considerations remain secondary.
More details about our background and approach are on our About page.

Featured Cat
Tucker is a handsome young tuxedo cat who loves to play with people and with other cats. Toss a toy his way or drag a dangling toy across the floor, and he’ll be running and pouncing. He's about two years old , but he's still a teenager at heart. He does great with cats that also see adventure in everything. In addition to his handsome appearance, his front feet also make him distinct — each of them has seven toes.

Featured Dog
American Bulldog / Pit Bull Caddy is a 75-pound lap dog who wants to be your best buddy and your protector. He adores everyone in his foster family, and once he’s met new people, he loves them too. Powerful and athletic, he often gets compliments on his good looks. He's energetic and playful and likes having a job, such as carrying a backpack on walks. He's intelligent and mentally as well as physically active. And he's very loyal to his people.
