Animal Welfare Society of Southeastern Michigan

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit, NO-KILL animal shelter & rescue.

To find homes for as many adoptable animals as humanly possible. To educate the public on the importance of spaying and neutering to help control the pet population. To put an end to the needless and senseless killing by shelters of healthy adoptable puppies, dogs, kittens and cats.

Founded in 1982, we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit, NO-KILL animal shelter & rescue. Animals stay with us until they find a good home, no matter how long that takes. We strive to educate the public on the importance of spaying and neutering.
We offer a food pantry to pet owners who can no longer afford to feed their pets. We offer various low cost spay & neuter programs throughout the year. We offer dog training at our facility.
