Sponsor an Adoptable Animal
When you sponsor a homeless animal through Friends of Detroit Animal Care and Control, you give that animal a second chance in finding a loving home. Your donated funds will help to care for homeless animals while at the shelter and get them prepared for the home they need and deserve.
You can sponsor any of the adoptable animals at DACC! Your gift will go toward the animals in our care, ensuring they are vaccinated, spayed/neutered, microchipped. Dogs are given a collar + leash + harness, provided with a training consultation, and heartworm treatment as necessary. Choose to sponsor the entire package or a certain amount. In the “additional comments” of your donation simply enter the dog’s name or animal ID number.
