Sierra is a young kitty who was attacked by a dog in her foster home. Unfortunately, the byte caused spinal cord damage and Sierra is unable to use her back legs. We would like to take her to a neurologist and get an MRI, which costs about $2000. If she needs surgery, that will be additional thousands of dollars. We need to raise funds so that she will have a chance of recovery. If you can contribute to her care, please press the PayPal button below:

Our animals are not on a time limit. They
won't be dumped at another pound or euthanized if they can't find a home soon
enough. Long term care of dogs not in foster homes is very costly and
decreases the amount of deathrow cats and dogs we can rescue. Roscoe, a puppy we have just rescue needs expensive heart surgery. We do
not turn down an animal because they require additional medical treatment. Please consider any amount donation
to help sponsor one of these wonderful dogs or cats! We will give a big
thank you on our bio pages of the dog you sponsored, so everyone knows of the
good deed you did for that animal! All donations go directly to the care for
each animal. We can't continue saving more animals without your help. Thank
you!! Please send contributions to : Animal

Sheila was
rescued from Ingham Animal Control just in the nick of time. This very
attractive gal is now in a foster home with other dogs. She is housebroken and
described as a very obedient dog. Sheila is counting her lucky stars that she
was rescued and she will repay her owner tenfold with her love &
loyalty.

If you disagree with the shelter's policy of selling animals to research, please DO NOT call or email the shelter. Employees have no control over shelter policy. Harassing employees can only make them stop cooperating with rescue groups and it will hurt the animals. Policy is set by the County Board of Commissioners. Volunteer Voice for Animals is a group that is trying to stop the sale of pets to research. Contact them if you are interested in constructive ways to approach the problem.
The cost of caring for rescued animals is enormous. Most have to be
spayed or neutered at a discount cost of about $100.
They have to be heartworm checked, checked for other parasites, dewormed if
necessary, have rabies and distemper shots, and
have fleas treated if necessary. This averages about $100 per dog. If they are
heartworm positive, the treatment costs
$400. If they are boarded in a kennel, it costs $5-$10 a day with the rescue
discount. If they are kept for 2 months, that
amounts to $300-$600. Our adoption fee has been $150 (now $175) per dog, even
for highly adoptable dogs. We have been making up the
difference out of our personal funds, which are now depleted. We are now
thousands of dollars in debt and will not be able
to continue our operations unless our financial situation improves. Over
the last two years, we have managed to save about
a hundred animals that would otherwise have been killed. If you would like to
help this operation continue, please send
your contribution in any amount to Animal Rescue Connection, 5651 Plymouth Rd.,
Ann Arbor, MI 48105.
