Animal Welfare Society of Southeastern Michigan

We are a 100% NO-KILL animal shelter & rescue dedicated to saving lives in Michigan, Texas and Ohio.

Founded in 1982, the Animal Welfare Society of Southeastern Michigan (“AWS”) is a 100% NO-KILL animal rescue and shelter. The animals stay with us until they find a good home, no matter how long that takes. We rescue animals from high-kill shelters in Michigan, Ohio and Texas. Animals are loved and cared for by our amazing staff and volunteers. They receive all necessary vet care, no matter what the cost. 100% of all donations go directly toward the care of the animals in our shelter. AWS strives to educate the public on the importance of spaying and neutering, along with proper vet care for your pet. AWS offers a food pantry to low income pet owners who can no longer afford to feed their pets. AWS also offers dog training at our facility, and adopters receive a 20%
discount when you sign up for class.

PLEASE HELP!!! OUR HEAT WENT OUT TODAY IN BOTH THE DOG ROOMS. It sounds like it is going to take some time to get fixed. We are in desperate need of some larger, safe space heaters ASAP. We prefer new or slightly used. It is getting very cold for our canines! We need these ASAP!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH IF YOU ARE ABLE TO DONATE ONE! It would mean the world to us and our fur babies!

MEET MAXWELL! Maxwell is a gorgeous 9-month old, 35 lb. Pomsky. Max was surrendered when his owner could no longer care for him. He is a very playful, friendly and energetic boy. Max likes going for walks, playing with toys, rides good in the car, and his housebroken. He loves the water and will even jump in the bath tub or shower! Max is good with older children. His gorgeous fur will need to be brushed regularly. A fenced yard is required.

PLEASE HELP CHARLES DICKENS! Poor Charles came to us in very rough shape. He had been bounced around several different homes and was severely neglected in the process. It appears that Charles has severe allergies and chronic eye and skin issues. He is on quite a few medications and a prescription diet. So far we have spent about $700 to try to help this sweet boy feel better, and get his allergies under control. Our vet care fund is currently empty. We are asking everyone to please donate whatever they can so that we can continue to help Charles, and all of the other dogs at the shelter waiting for vet care. With vet prices constantly going up, it is impossible to keep up these days. If you can help at all, we would appreciate it more than you know. Thank you for your continued support.❤️

MEET COOPER! Cooper is a handsome 1-year old Beagle. We rescued him from Genesee County Animal Control. We aren’t sure how such a wonderful dog ended up there as an unclaimed stray; but we are sure happy to have him. Cooper is a super sweet, quiet boy who loves to go for walks and explore. He loves people and seems fine with other dogs. A fenced yard is required to keep him safe while exploring and following his nose! Cooper is looking for his next adventure! Could it be with you? ❤️🐾
