the care they deserve and need.

“You look at the faces of the dogs at home and try to imagine them on the street or in an abusive environment. It becomes a no brainer to help try to save any animal from a bad situation. These animals just want a family and a home. “

I volunteer as the events help the animals, we are their voice. I have a new foster through Friends of DACC and excited to get her healthy and ready for her forever home

I volunteer my time and donate money to MiAWF because we are all volunteers committed to helping animals in need. There are no paid employees, so all proceeds we raise is split between 4 great animal rescue groups in our community.

“I love animals! Especially those who don’t have an opportunity to live a
normal, healthy, loving life. With our help, along with organizations that our event benefits, we can all provide for a better way of life for these less unfortunate animals. The love and joy that we get from our fur babies is unconditional and truly rewarding!”
