Sheltering – Our primary program for decades, we shelter homeless animals at our facility in Grayling, Michigan. On average, we house about 20 dogs and 15 cats on their journey home. This program encompasses our adoption, foster, stray, and emergency sheltering services.

Pet Pantry – The objective of our Pantry is to keep animals in their homes during economic hardships. Beneficiaries are qualified on a case-by-case basis and may receive the food and supplies they need for basic living and quality of life.
