We're bringing together lots of snuggly pups looking for their forever homes — come find your new best friend! This event has grown every year, with around 200 people joining us to celebrate adoptable animals and support a great cause.

Summer is winding down, but we don’t have to let go just yet. September is the perfect month to meet a dog who’s ready to transition to the new season with you.

Join us Sunday, August 30th from 2–4 PM for a FREE afternoon of shelter fun!

Come learn more about our shelter, the resources we offer, and the many ways you can get involved. Plus, you’ll have the chance to meet and spend time with our adoptable dogs!

Join other pet owners and prospective pet owners to ask questions, share tips and support, and learn together, in a fun and casual setting. There is a new topic and free dog and cat food at each session.

Come meet adoptable dogs looking for loving homes! All of our dogs are microchipped, spayed/neutered, and up to date on vaccines, so you can adopt with peace of mind. Every adopted pup goes home with a goody bag full of toys, treats, and food, plus a brand-new collar, leash, and harness to get them started right.

The 4th of July is one of the busiest — and toughest — times of year for Detroit Animal Care and Control. Fireworks frighten pet dogs across the community, and many bolt from yards or slip their leashes, getting lost in the chaos. As a result, DACC sees a major surge in intake right around the holiday.

To prepare, we need to clear as many kennels as possible before the fireworks start. That's where our Pajama Party comes in: a short-term "slumber party" foster program that gets adoptable shelter dogs into real homes for the weekend, freeing up space for the lost pets who'll need it.

Adopting a dog is one of the most rewarding decisions you can make. Every dog available through Friends of DACC comes fully prepared for their new home — already spayed or neutered, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. And to make the transition even sweeter, every new pup goes home with a brand new collar, leash, and harness.
