WAYS TO GET INVOLVED

Our 2026 Beneficiaries

The mission of Blue Star Service Dogs is to provide our military veterans diagnosed with PTSD and TBI another method of healing through service dogs and training. Through our programs, we seek to help heal visible and invisible wounds, provide families with new beginnings, and raise awareness about the potential of shelter and rescue dogs everywhere.

Cat Tail Acres

Cat Tail Acres is a sanctuary for feral and unwanted cats. We are not a traditional shelter and don’t accept socialized adult cats or kittens who are more adoptable. We believe all of God’s living creatures deserve a right to a good life.

Friends of Detroit Animal Care and Control

Friends of Detroit Animal Care and Control (FoDACC) is a community-driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of Detroit’s animals and supporting the people who love and care for them. We proudly collaborate with, but operate independently from, Detroit Animal Care and Control (DACC) and community partners to save lives, strengthen the human-animal bond, and build a more compassionate city for pets and people alike.  Our mission focuses on three key goals of keeping pets out of the shelter, supporting those in the shelter, and helping to network adoptable pets into homes.  [Read more]

Under doog rescue ranch

Underdog Rescue Ranch is a foster-based dog rescue committed to providing a safe haven for homeless, neglected, and abused Metro Detroit dogs in need of a second chance at life. We protect and advocate for every dog in our care, provide animal welfare education and awareness to the community, and host adoption events for the voiceless dogs of Metro Detroit.

I do not think I could get this involved or work as hard for any other cause. I think about those less fortunate animals out there every day and know that we can do more with our community of friends than we could possibly do ourselves to help them.
