P.A.W.S. of Michigan (Precious Animal Welfare Society) is a 501 (c) (3), all-volunteer group that promotes the humane, compassionate, and responsible treatment of all animals. It is our mission to protect and care for homeless animals by placing them with loving foster families until compatible permanent homes can be found, and to engage in benevolent and charitable activities to support this goal. We are dedicated to lowering the number of animals needlessly euthanized each year in our community by promoting the spaying and neutering of all companion animals and in educating the public on the importance of responsible animal guardianship. Working in alliance with other rescue groups and animal welfare agencies we seek to develop a network of like-minded individuals who strive to eliminate animal suffering and create an animal-friendly community.
Canine Pet Rescue (CPR) is an all volunteer organization dedicated to rescuing dogs in need, rehabilitating if necessary, addressing any behavior issues and then adopting to approved homes where they will be loved as part of a family. CPR also encourages responsible pet care and striving to increase awareness of the consequences of pet over population through educational programs and materials. Our organization has many wonderful foster homes which allows the dogs to be fully evaluated in order to place them with their future permanent homes. This benefits the families as much as the dogs to ensure a successful adoption for all.
