We’re down to the last two weeks of 2020 and it’s a great time to look back and realize, we never stopped.
When a pandemic hit, we asked partnering shelters what they needed, we rescued bottle puppies in the middle of the night and we loaded pregnant dogs from Detroit Animal Care + Control into our cars.
We supplied residents who lost their jobs with food so they could keep their own dogs and if they didn’t have transportation, we delivered it to their door.
We took in Heartworm positive dogs, dogs who needed amputations, sick dogs and even abandoned puppies.
We showed up for Detroit firefighters to help abandoned dogs at fire houses and lent helping hands to the Detroit Police Departments.
We were applauded by the Governor of Michigan and thanked by both, Gary Peters and John James.
Among some of the worst times, we decided it was time to grow and we started construction on our new, rehabilitated, bigger shelter.
Detroit Dog Rescue started during a foreclosure crisis, during a bankruptcy, when a lot of people said “it can’t be done”. We’ll continue our work, and as we look into the new year, we’ll also celebrate 10 years of rescuing Detroit dogs.
As we look to the new year we’ll also need your help. Please consider making your end of the year, tax-deductible gift to Detroit Dog Rescue, so we never have to stop, so we can keep going for them.
