For over 125 years, we've been saving lives -- more than any single animal shelter in Michigan. Love Starts Here.
Enjoying the weather? 🌤️ Now's a great time to trim/cut any trees that need it-- or wait until after summer! Very soon, wildlife babies will be making nests in trees; and felling trees now will help families stay together.
Or... leave the trees! Did you know dead trees make great wildlife homes?
