Help Move Dogs Before the Shelter Move
Help Volunteers Get the Word Out to Get Dogs Out
For anyone thinking about adopting or fostering a dog, NOW is definitely the time for dogs currently housed at DACC.
Volunteers with Friends of Detroit Animal Care and Control are issuing a call for community members in the Detroit metro area, and Canada, to adopt or foster a dog ahead of the shelter moving to a new location.
Friends of Detroit Animal Care and Control (FoDACC) is a non-profit, volunteer-based organization that works to help homeless pets in Detroit through adoption, fostering, pet education, and spay/neuter/vaccination programs. While the organization has no role in shelter operations or decisions, it does work to support Detroit Animal Care and Control’s (DACC) efforts to care for animals in the shelter and place them in loving homes.
Currently there are more than 45 dogs available for adoption at DACC, located at 7401 Chrysler Drive in Detroit and open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. to meet adoptable animals.
So how can you help?
Adopt or Foster - head to the current shelter 7 days a week
Approved Rescue Organizations - pull DACC dogs
Share! - Share this story out, share pictures of DACC dogs, share adoption event links
To incentivize people to adopt or foster a current shelter dog before the move, FoDACC has several special programs and events to make it easy for people to meet their perfect match and provide a loving home for a shelter dog in need. These include:
Bissell Pet Foundation Empty the Shelters Free Adoption Event – May 1-15 Beginning May 1 and through May 15, all adoption fees will be sponsored by Cathy Bissell so you can spend that saved cash on the three Ts: toys, treats, and training!
Furry Thursday Late Night Adoption Event – May 2
