EVOLUTION: A process of gradual, peaceful, progressive change or development as in social or economic structure or institutions.

To end the killing of adoptable and treatable companion animals at the Genesee County Animal Control. No animal should die just because it’s homeless, hungry or afraid.

Our Vision:
Genesee Residents for Animal Control Evolution, or GRACE, is made up of concerned citizens from Genesee County, MI and the surrounding areas. Our mission to end the killing of adoptable and treatable companion animals at the Genesee County Animal Control. This will be achieved by advocating for the implementation of policies and programs in accordance with the No Kill Equation. These policies and programs will reduce population growth and increase the rates for adoption, rescue and retention of companion animals.

GRACE is committed to showing that no-kill animal control practices are possible as an alternative to traditional animal shelter practices. Our goals include steadily increasing the amount of adoptable and treatable animals saved at Genesee County Animal Control, establishing Genesee County Animal Control as a state and national leader in it’s field and aiding in Genesee County Animal Control’s evolution to become an Animal Shelter that is a safe haven for lost and homeless pets and a source of pride for the community.
