Detroit Pet People

Community Conversations

Welcome to Detroit Pet People, a community for current and prospective pet owners. Each session is a chance to connect with one another; to ask questions, share tips and support, and learn together. Free dog and cat food and access to free spay/neuter services is available at every session. Join us for these fun, supportive, and informative conversations dedicated to the well-being of our beloved pets.

Please note:

  • Everyone is welcome — you don’t have to live in Detroit to attend.

  • Free spay/neuter appointments are available for Detroit residents only.

  • Please remember to leave pets at home so everyone can participate comfortably.
