Michigan Humane - Mackey Center for Animal Care
Changing Lives Through Compassion
Michigan Humane is dedicated to creating a more humane community by providing compassionate care for companion animals throughout Metro Detroit. We believe in the power of the human-animal bond and work tirelessly to ensure every animal we encounter has the opportunity for a happy, healthy life.
Our History and Commitment
Since 1877, Michigan Humane has been a cornerstone of animal welfare, driven by a deep responsibility to promote the humane treatment of all members of our community. We continue this legacy today by addressing the evolving needs of animals and the people who love them, serving as a trusted leader in the region.
How We Care
Our work is made possible through a diverse range of services, including expert veterinary care at our full-service animal hospitals and innovative community programs like the Caplan Family Pet Food Pantry. We operate dedicated adoption centers in Detroit, Westland, and Sterling Heights, where our professional teams provide shelter, medical attention, and support for animals while they wait for their forever homes.
Finding Your Perfect Companion
Adopting a pet is the beginning of a beautiful, lifelong partnership, and we are here to help you find your perfect match. Whether you are looking for a dog, a cat, a small exotic friend, or more, our team is committed to supporting you through the entire adoption process to ensure a successful transition for both you and your new family member.
