- Life-Saving 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 430,000 sterilized so far.
- Access to Veterinary Care: Keeping essential wellness services affordable and accessible reduces suffering and prevents needless surrenders due to health. 50,000 seen annually.
- Community Cat TNR Efforts: Providing humane methods to manage and reduce feral cat populations through Trap Neuter Return sterilization and education. Breaks the cycle of suffering for feral and community cats.
- Detroit Pets For Life: Boots on the ground outreach and no-cost preventative vet services gives pet parents the resources, tools and information necessary to keep pets healthy, safe and in their home.

The Mission
No More Homeless Pets! Reduce suffering. Stop unnecessary euthanasia. That's what drives us.
Overpopulation is real. Shelters and rescues are overwhelmed with homeless cats and dogs. Euthanasia in shelters continues to be on the rise while adoptions have significantly slowed. Most shelters and rescues are on "intake hold," meaning there is nowhere for homeless or even stray animals to go. 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 to soon be euthanized, while having many benefits for the sterilized 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.
We've fixed over 430,000 cats and dogs in Michigan since forming in 2005. There are so many more we can help with your support.
YOU MAKE IT POSSIBLE.
WE THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF THE NO MORE HOMELESS PETS SOLUTION!

Bidding Tips
- Keep checking back because new items will be added throughout the week.

FAQs
- I forgot my bidder #? Type your phone # or email address in the bidder # box. Tap GO. You also can tap on the "?" for help.
- How do I remove a bid? Right after you place a bid, you have the option to "undo" on the confirmation banner at the top of the screen. Once this banner goes away, you will need to see an event volunteer that is using the butler to remove it.
- I already selected "no" or replied "STOP" to the SMS text message alerts, not realizing that I wouldn't receive outbid notices. Can I fix it? Yes! Text "START" to 56651 to begin receiving these once again.
- How do I place a Max Bid? To place a "max bid", tap on Bid/Info > BID/SET MAX > select the amount you are willing to spend on the item > SET MAX. The system will bid up to that amount for you automatically. You will be notified via text message if you are outbid on this item.
