Resources

We have compiled a list of animal rescue groups and shelters to assist you in the adoption or give-up of a pet. You can view a variety of Michigan resources here.

Petfinder is a nationwide, searchable database of homeless animals. You can view some of MAAN's adoptable pets as listed on Petfinder here

Adopt A Pet Program

This is a coalition of area rescue groups and foster homes working to place rescued and unwanted animals into new, permanent homes where they will receive the love and attention they so richly deserve.

To date we have placed more than 4,000 animals through the Adopt-A-Pet program. Some are strays, often picked up by ACN volunteers on their rounds, some are rescued from shelters, but most are given up by their owners.

All the animals shown at our Adopt-A-Pet events are required to be clean, healthy, flea-free, of good temperament, up-to-date on all shots and vaccinations, and are spayed/neutered if old enough. Vet records are on-site and go with the adopter to set up files with his or her own vet.

Adopting An Older Pet

Older animals pose a special problem. They are generally overlooked at Adopt-A-Pet events because of their age. To help them find new homes, MAAN works hard to educate people about the advantages of adopting an adult pet.

Most animals shown are in foster care and the adoption fees we charge help to offset the out-of-pocket veterinary costs incurred by the foster volunteers.
