Support our no-kill mission
Your donation is vital to our mission to sustain the first no-kill shelter in the City of Detroit and aid in the rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of the abused, abandoned and homeless dogs. Your tax-deductible gifts make a direct impact in the lives of the dogs we save everyday.
Abandoned, abused, orphaned, and alone, you can give them a chance.
Detroit Dog Rescue is a 501c3 tax exempt non-profit.
