Our Mission

Paws for Life’s mission is to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves; to rescue and rehome abandoned pets, matching animals and families to find the right fit for everyone and promising to exhaust all efforts to place adoptable pets in lifelong, loving homes; to promote humane education, spay/neuter initiatives and respect for all living things; to prevent and report cruelty to animals; to participate in disaster animal response; to improve the lives of animals and end the suffering created by puppy mills, animal fighters and backyard breeders; and to be a driving force, leader and champion for animal welfare in Michigan.

Adoption Policy

Step 1: Understand Our Adoption Policies Minimum Age: To adopt a pet from Paws for Life, you must be at least 18 years old and be able and willing to provide a lifelong, loving home to your new pet. Pet Care: Dogs and cats are indoor animals and should not live outside. Cats should not be declawed and dogs should not be debarked. The contract you sign will stipulate these requirements and there is a $1,000 fine for violating the contract. All we ask is that your new pet be treated at all times like a treasured member of the family. Adjustment Period: Paws for Life believes that every animal needs adjustment time to get to know their new environment, routine and people. We require a mandatory, minimum two-week adjustment period before the adoption can be finalized and ownership transferred. Step 2: Apply Online or In Person The first step in the adoption process is to complete the application, either online (below) or at one of our adoption events. If you don't have a specific animal in mind, you can describe what you’re looking for and our foster care coordinators will recommend which pets they feel are the best match to your household.?

Counselors may recommend pets that will be a better fit for you. Step 4: Get Approved After you and Paws for Life decide which pets you want to meet, we will schedule a meet-and-greet at your home, at an area shelter or at an upcoming adoption event. We prefer that all members of your household are available and present for the meet-n-greet. It’s critically important that everyone agrees that the chosen pet is the right pet for them.
