Celebrating Over a Decade as Detroit’s First No-Kill Shelter
Detroit Dog Rescue, founded in 2011, is known for taking in Detroit’s dogs and investing the time and training needed to re-home them.
Our nonprofit organization focuses on raising awareness of the mounting homeless and stray dog epidemic in Detroit, along with advocating for humane rescue alternatives such as no-kill sheltering, foster care and adoptions, pet identification and healthy pet population control through spay and neutering. Detroit Dog Rescue also specializes in community outreach, and we work closely with local, city and statewide organizations in order to educate and involve people in this cause. We also respond to calls to assist the Detroit Police Department, Highland Park Police Department, Hamtramck Police Department, Fire Departments, the City Administration, as well as hundreds of residents who have asked for our help.

Learn About Fostering“When people say "I could never foster... I don't know how you do it!", we always say "Adopting is for the person, but fostering is for the dog." Of course, adopting doggos is great too. For us, every doggo that we foster, we know opens up a spot for another dog to be taken in from a bad situation. So instead of helping one doggo, we have helped as many as 10. Therefore, we have a different mind-set going into a foster situation. We know that our home is a stop on their journey to a forever home and that perspective makes it a rewarding process. We are so appreciative of DDR for all their assistance during our time fostering their doggos, especially the DDR care, adoption, and training staff.”
