To serve animals by providing humane education, supporting and initiating affirmative legislative action, performing animal adoptions and animal rescues, reuniting lost pets with their families, and conducting cruelty investigations.
The Michigan Anti-Cruelty Society never charges for dropping off animals. Occasionally animals have been left on our doorstep at all times of the day and night, prompting us to advertise our “no charge policy” on the side of the building.
