Where Your Support Goes
Every dollar raised helps fund All About Animals Rescue’s four core programs, driving us closer to a future with No More Homeless Pets:
Life-Saving Spay/Neuter — Spaying or neutering just one animal can prevent up to 100 others from being born into homelessness. We’ve sterilized more than 450,000 animals to date.
Access to Veterinary Care — Affordable, accessible wellness services reduce suffering and help families keep their pets instead of surrendering them due to cost. We see roughly 50,000 animals each year.
Community Cat TNR — Trap-Neuter-Return efforts humanely manage feral cat populations and break the cycle of suffering on our streets.
Detroit Pets For Life — On-the-ground outreach and no-cost preventative veterinary care equip pet parents with the resources they need to keep their pets healthy and at home.
