WAG Animal Rescue
A Journey of Compassion
WAG Animal Rescue is a dedicated, all-volunteer, non-profit organization committed to placing homeless dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens in permanent, loving, and responsible homes. Since 1988, we have been working tirelessly to provide domestic companion animals throughout Michigan with the bright future they deserve.
Our Mission and History
Founded in 1988, WAG has spent decades bridging the gap between animals in need and the families who cherish them. By accepting animals from shelters and owner surrenders, we ensure that every companion receives a second chance at happiness within a stable, caring environment.
A Foster-Based Commitment
Because WAG does not operate a traditional shelter facility, we rely on a compassionate network of foster care providers who open their homes to our animals. This unique model allows our cats and dogs to thrive in a natural, domestic setting while receiving the love and personalized attention they need until they find their forever family. Our dedicated volunteers manage everything from daily socialization to essential veterinary appointments, ensuring each pet is healthy and ready for adoption.
The Joy of Thoughtful Matching
Adopting through WAG means you are bringing home a pet whose personality and habits have been carefully observed in a real home environment. Because our foster families spend quality time living with these animals, they can provide invaluable insights into a pet's temperament, making it easier to find the perfect match for your lifestyle. We believe that this careful, relationship-centered process creates the strongest, most joyful bonds between pets and their new owners.
