What Your Gift Supports

Every dollar you give to Team FoDACC goes directly into our Outdoor Enrichment Expansion Project:

  • Paw-Safe Walk Path
    In the summer heat, blacktop can burn paws. Your gift will fund a painted, textured path that keeps both dogs and volunteers safe as they head to grassy play areas.

  • New Play Yards
    With only two yards currently, our enrichment opportunities are limited. Adding just 2–4 new yards will double the time dogs spend outdoors for play, exercise, and socialization.

  • Fundraising Goal: $25,000
    This target covers materials, labor, and installation for the walk path and up to four new play yards—transforming daily life for every dog at DACC.


Pledge Now—Right Here!

Whether you’re a longtime FoDACC supporter or just discovering our mission, every dollar brings us closer to transformative enrichment for Detroit’s shelter pets—paw-safe walking paths, new play yards, and so much more.
