Michigan Anti-Cruelty Society

MACS

Since 1935, the Michigan Anti-Cruelty Society (MACS) has dedicated its efforts to providing refuge to stray, injured, and forgotten animals. We work to promote humane education and actively initiate affirmative legislative action. MACS investigated 895 cruelty complaints during 2016. MACS provides extensive sheltering, veterinary care and pet adoption services to the thousands of animals that pass through the shelter doors. We never turn away an animal in need. For many animals, MACS is their only hope.

This may seem hard to believe, but Michigan Anti-Cruelty Society (MACS) is the last OPEN ADMISSION animal shelter in the City of Detroit. Some organizations do not accept stray or surrendered animals, while others require pet owners to make an appointment (sometimes weeks in advance) and pay a fee to surrender their pets. For citizens of Detroit in desperate situations with neither money nor time to wait, they have no choice but to come to MACS. MACS never charges for animals being turned in. The reality of this situation has MACS rethinking the role of our shelter in the City of Detroit.

MACS is a four-star Charity Navigator rated 501(c)(3) animal rescue, shelter, and veterinary clinic. All of MACS board members are experienced hands on animal care givers. MACS provides donated pet food to those unable to afford it, provides free straw and dog houses when available, provides low cost veterinary services and many free spay and neuter procedures. MACS will provide free tethers for people who keep their dogs outdoors and education about the new City of Detroit ordinance regarding the care of companion animals. MACS provides free euthanasia services to those whose animals are sick, dying, or in distress.
