Adoptable Pets in Michigan

Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?

No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.

The staff and volunteers are wonderful here! The animals are obviously loved and kept well. Check them out if you are looking for a pet!

This group has no rating as far as I'm concerned, but I must rate it in order to post my comment. My father passed away 3.5 weeks ago and I have been trying to find his dog a home ever since. He's an older Rottweiler very sweet, but has high separation anxiety. As my father was retired, the dog is used to being with someone all day. I work full time and I am not able to give this dog what he needs. I have 2 other dogs, a full time job, a 5 year old and I rent a 2 bedroom home. I have been reaching out to every one that I know to find him a suitable home. When I found The Noah Project online as a "no kill" shelter, they barely took the time to get to know this dog. I was asked 3 questions & I was not allowed to elaborate on why, or on his personality, or his behaviors, his attitude, nothing. They immediately said no they would not take him. This disgusts me. All this dog needs is a retired man/couple to live out the rest of his life (perhaps 3 more years give or take) and be comfortable in a home where someone is there to be social with. He is not the best suit for a home with little kids as he is used to being with one man in a home environment. I am at my wits end and this group did not sympathize, empathize or show any concern whatsoever for my situation. This dog loves people. He loves being loved, playing ball, getting pet, getting treats, sitting with you, riding with you.. they did not care one iota nor did they even ask about any of that. I've had better customer service from the gas station. I've met more caring people at the grocery store. This to me was sad. I hope that there are groups out there that take note and do NOT treat people nor animals in this manner. You cannot find out that a dog is a Rottweiler then immediately close your doors. Being in the business of caring for animals you should know this. There are also as I would imagine, many older men who live alone that may benefit from having a good canine friend to care for & care with. I'm heartbroken and I don't think dogs that are of the age of 8 years old are necessarily bound for dismissal. This was shocking to me. My search will continue.

There is such a huge need for no kill shelters and unfortunately this shelter is small...Hopefully Noah Project will be able to add on and continue their wonderful mission!

1. Feral Cat TNR Program

Many communities are embracing Trap, Neuter, Release programs (TNR) to improve animal welfare, reduce death rates, and meet obligations to public welfare.

2. High-Volume, Low-Cost Spay/Neuter

Low cost, high volume spay/neuter will quickly lead to fewer animals entering the shelter system, allowing more resources to be allocated toward saving lives.

3. Rescue Groups

An adoption or transfer to a rescue group frees up scarce cage and kennel space, reduces expenses for feeding, cleaning, killing, and improves a community's rate of lifesaving. In an environment of millions of dogs and cats killed in shelters annually, rare is the circumstance in which a rescue group should be denied an animal.

4. Foster Care

Volunteer foster care is crucial to No Kill. Without it, saving lives is compromised. It is a low cost, and often no cost, way of increasing a shelter's capacity, improving public relations, increasing a shelter's public image, rehabilitating sick and injured or behaviorally challenged animals, and saving lives.

5. Comprehensive Adoption Programs

Adoptions are vital to an agency's lifesaving mission. The quantity and quality of shelter adoptions is in shelter management's hands, making lifesaving a direct function of shelter policies and practice. In fact, studies show people get their animals from shelters only 20% of the time. If shelters better promoted their animals and had adoption programs responsive to the needs of the community, including public access hours for working people, offsite adoptions, adoption incentives, and effective marketing, they could increase the number of homes available and replace killing with adoptions. Contrary to conventional wisdom, shelters can adopt their way out of killing.

6. Pet Retention

While some of the reasons animals are surrendered to shelters are unavoidable, others can be prevented-but only if shelters are willing to work with people to help them solve their problems. Saving animals requires communities to develop innovative strategies for keeping people and their companion animals together. And the more a community sees its shelters as a place to turn for advice and assistance, the easier this job will be.

7. Medical and Behavior Programs

In order to meet its commitment to a lifesaving guarantee for all savable animals, shelters need to keep animals happy and healthy and keep animals moving through the system. To do this, shelters must put in place comprehensive vaccination, handling, cleaning, socialization, and care policies before animals get sick and rehabilitative efforts for those who come in sick, injured, unweaned, or traumatized.

8. Public Relations/Community Involvement

Increasing adoptions, maximizing donations, recruiting volunteers and partnering with community agencies comes down to one thing: increasing the shelter's exposure. And that means consistent marketing and public relations. Public relations and marketing are the foundation of all a shelter's activities and their success. To do all these things well, the shelter must be in the public eye.

9. Volunteers

Volunteers are a dedicated "army of compassion" and the backbone of a successful No Kill effort. There is never enough staff, never enough dollars to hire more staff, and always more needs than paid human resources. That is where volunteers come in and make the difference between success and failure and, for the animals, life and death.

10. Proactive Redemptions

One of the most overlooked areas for reducing killing in animal control shelters are lost animal reclaims. Sadly, besides having pet owners fill out a lost pet report, very little effort is made in this area of shelter operations. This is unfortunate because doing so-primarily shifting from passive to a more proactive approach-has proven to have a significant impact on lifesaving and allow shelters to return a large percentage of lost animals to their families.

11. A Compassionate Director

The final element of the No Kill equation is the most important of all, without which all other elements are thwarted-a hard working, compassionate animal control or shelter director not content to regurgitate tired cliches or hide behind the myth of "too many animals, not enough homes." Unfortunately, this one is also oftentimes the hardest one to demand and find.
