Care that reaches beyond adoption.
Through rescue, education, volunteering, and practical support, we help animals and the people who care for them.
Community pet pantry
Our pantry shares dog and cat food, litter, treats, and supplies with families and community partners. Sharing donated supplies helps extend care beyond the animals housed at the rescue.
Donated food and supplies also support local pantries, shelters, and rescue partners.
Call or text (517) 652-9353 to ask about current supplies, donations, and arrangements before visiting.
Volunteer & community service
Help may include dog walking, feeding and watering, kennel cleaning, cat and small-animal care, organizing supplies, sanitizing, and grounds maintenance. Contact us to arrange a suitable assignment and start time.
Ways you can help
- Animal care: dog walking, feeding and watering, and cat or small-animal care.
- Clean and organize: kennel cleaning, sanitizing, and sorting donated food and supplies.
- Grounds and projects: maintenance, outdoor work, and practical skills matched to current needs.
Before your first visit
- Contact Connie with your interests, availability, and any service-hour requirements.
- Confirm a suitable assignment, start time, and required forms.
- Bring any school or court paperwork. Children under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
School service hours
Bring school paperwork showing the required hours. Volunteers under 16 need an accompanying adult and a parent or guardian to complete required forms.
Court-ordered service
Arrange an appointment in advance and bring the required court paperwork. Contact the rescue before beginning service hours.
School & community education
Connie enjoys helping children and adults learn about responsible pet ownership and finding an appropriate animal companion. Our outreach has reached schools, libraries, churches, parks, and community organizations.
Contact us to discuss a presentation, group visit, or community event.
Companion matching support
Our existing companion-animal program has offered adoption-fee assistance to approved applicants, including people seeking emotional support and veterans seeking companionship. Contact Connie about current availability, eligibility, and documentation requirements.
