100% of proceeds fund All About Animals Rescue’s 4 pillar programs to bring about the day when there are No More Homeless Pets:
- Lifesaving Spay/Neuter: Preventing overpopulation and reducing the number of homeless animals. Spaying just one animal can stop 100 others from being born into homelessness and an uncertain future. Over We've provided low-cost to no-cost sterilizations to more than 450,000 animals to date.
- Access to Veterinary Care: Affordable, accessible wellness services reduce suffering and help families keep their pets instead of surrendering them due to cost. We see roughly 50,000 animals each year.
- Community Cat TNR: Providing humane methods to manage and reduce feral cat populations and break the cycle of suffering on our streets.
- Detroit Pets For Life: On-the-ground outreach and no-cost preventative veterinary care equip pet parents with the resources they need to keep their pets healthy and at home.

The Mission
No More Homeless Pets! Reduce suffering. Stop unnecessary euthanasia. This is what drives us.
Overpopulation is real.
Shelters and rescues are overwhelmed with homeless cats and dogs. Euthanasia in shelters continues to be higher than it was and adoptions are still slow. Most shelters and rescues are on "intake hold," meaning there is nowhere for homeless or even stray animals to go. Continuing rising prices cause people not to be able to afford food or services for their pets. At the same time, people are getting evicted from their home and don't have a place for them or their pet to live. Veterinarians, especially affordable veterinary clinics, are over capacity for spay/neuter surgery - scheduling into next year.
The welfare of companion pets is in crisis. This is why we remain dedicated to prevention.
Spay/neuter is like turning off the water source to a flooding home. How else are you supposed to make repairs unless you stop the flood? Spay/neuter saves countless animals from being born only to suffer in homelessness or ending up euthanized. Spay/neuter has many health and behavior benefits for the pet.
All About Animals Rescue passionately serves the public, TNR community cat groups, shelters, rescues and animal control.
Your participation in Spay-tacular, Party for Paws, directly helps us continue to help them.
Help us help another 450,000 cats and dogs get fixed in Michigan!
YOU MAKE IT ALL POSSIBLE.
Thank you for being part of the No More Homeless Pets solution!
