Michigan Anti-Cruelty Society
Our Mission
The Michigan Anti-Cruelty Society (MACS) is dedicated to serving animals by providing humane education, initiating affirmative legislative action, performing animal rescues, and reuniting lost pets with their families. We believe in creating a world where kindness to animals is a priority for everyone.
Our History and Community
Since 1935, MACS has provided a refuge for stray, injured, and forgotten animals in Detroit. As the city's last open-admission shelter, we remain a vital resource for our community, offering veterinary services and assistance to families in need to ensure pets remain safely in their homes.
Our Care Model
We work tirelessly to provide extensive sheltering, medical care, and adoption services to thousands of animals each year. Our facility on Joseph Campau serves as our hub, where we coordinate with rescue partners to transfer animals to safe, loving environments while preparing others for their forever families.
The Adopter Connection
Every adoption we facilitate is handled with the best interest of the animal in mind. By taking the time to match each pet with a compatible home, we ensure a successful and joyful transition for both the animal and the adopter. Our team of experienced, hands-on caregivers is committed to supporting this journey with transparency and care.
