🎉 Adopted after 192 days! 🎉

Sweet Babybel, a senior girl at 9 years and 7 months old, waited 192 days to find her forever family — and now she’s finally home. 💛

We’re sending the biggest thank you to her incredible fosters — Maggie, Scott, and Michele — who made sure she was safe, loved, and cherished every step of the way. Because of them, Babybel had soft places to land and hearts to lean on until the right family came along — at just the right time.

These are the moments that remind us: it’s all for love. 🐾
Check out Babybel on day one and on the day she finally went home.

This morning, we had the amazing DTE Energy Human Resources team out for a service day—and wow, did they make an impact! 🐾 They walked dogs, helped with cleaning, and got a behind-the-scenes look at how our staff and volunteers show up for the animals every single day.

We’re so grateful they chose to spend their morning with us. Their help meant the world to our team—and the animals absolutely loved the extra attention! 💙

🎉 DOGust 1st is almost here! 🎉
It’s the official birthday of all shelter and rescue dogs — because while we may not know their real birthdays, we do know they deserve to be celebrated.

To honor these incredible pups, we’re partnering with North Shore Animal League America to offer a special adoption rate:
🐾 Adult dogs (6 months & 20lbs and up) are just $50 to adopt from August 1–10 — that’s $100 off our usual fee!

These sweet souls are ready to start their next chapter ❤️🎂

A big shoutout to the incredible team from RRD who spent their morning volunteering with us! 🧼🐾 From laundry and dishes to cleaning cat kennels and walking dogs, they jumped in wherever help was needed—and did it all with smiles and heart.

Even better? They held a donation drive ahead of their visit and brought in so many goodies for the animals in our care! We’re so grateful for their time, energy, and generosity. Thank you, RRD! 💛

This is Ninja. He’s been with us for 111 days today, and every one of them, he’s made someone smile. 🐾

He has a big ol’ fatty mass on his side—not life-threatening, but not removable either. So we manage it the best we can, with daily meds and lots of love. The trick? He’ll only take his meds if they’re tucked into something tasty.

🧀 We’re currently OUT of these med-hiding lifesavers:
– Cream cheese
– Hot dogs
– Canned chicken
– Braunschweiger (liver sausage = magic)

💊 We’re also completely out of:
– Probiotics for dogs (any brand/type)

If you’d like to help Ninja (and friends like him), donations can be dropped off:
🗓️ Monday–Saturday, 9–11AM & 12–4PM
📍MaryAnn Wright Animal Adoption & Education Center

Because every animal deserves to feel as good as Ninja looks in this photo.

Stan picked this spot all by himself and he’s pretty pleased about it. Shade? Check. Comfy rocks? Check. A perfect view of everything going on? Double check. All he’s missing now is a person to share it with.

We’ll be hanging out at Taylor PetSmart from 12–3PM, spending time with some of our sweet cats who are hoping to find their people. 💛

If you’re in the area, swing by and say hi to Boingo, Chanterelle, Linda, Oingo, Oyster, Pandora, Pink Ginger, Ponyo, and Sh*ttake. They’ve been doing their best to be patient… but they’d really love a home.

While you’re there, don’t forget to ask about the raffle basket — just check in with a staff member or adopt to get entered.

All for love. Always. 🐾

This isn’t just a bar crawl.
It’s a community crawl. A love crawl. A “we show up for the animals” crawl.

On Saturday, August 9, we’re heading out into downtown Detroit from 1–5pm—not for the drinks, but for the difference. Because every ticket sold helps provide shelter, medical care, and love to nearly 2,500 animals a year.

Whether you’re grabbing a mocktail, a meal, or just joining in the fun, your presence supports pets like Mr. Koala Bear and so many others waiting for their forever.

❤️ This is All for Love.

105 days for Gus Gus.
And in between, seven more incredible souls who’ve been passed by time and time again.

💛 Leila – 177 days
💛 Perseus – 144 days
💛 Primrose – 129 days

💛 Ninja – 107 days
💛 Kitana – 107 days
💛 Gus Gus – 105 days

Everything we do—for the walks, the medicine, the enrichment, the comfort, the care—is All for Love.
