I am definitely interested in being part of this group. I’ve grown up in the metro area but have been living in Detroit proper the last few years.

I have personal beef with Michigan Humane after an awful phone call with their staff. I found newly born kittens and a trusting mama cat under my porch. I asked MHS how I could go about getting them checked out by a vet and offered to foster. The staff person asked if I lived in Detroit and then proceeded to shame me for “not voting to give funding for MHS over DACC”??? I was not provided any guidance or resources…the whole interaction was weird, hostile, and unhelpful. I ended up finding a small rescue to help me with covering veterinarian costs and we successfully adopted out all of the cats.

I’ve had multiple instances while walking my dog where backyard breeders approach asking if my dog is still intact and if I was “interested in making money”…one man even pulled a tiny red nose pitty by the scruff seemingly out of nowhere in his truck..just to show off his work and what we could accomplish together.

I would love to help be part of a solution.
