Rescue FAQs

We are a small 501c3 Non Profit Organization facilitating adoptions of cats, dogs, kittens and puppies as well as bunnies, birds, guinea pigs, rats, gerbils and degus. We believe in no more killing of healthy, treatable, trainable and adoptable pets; no more homeless pets! Through our adoption process we educate pet owners about importance of the human/pet bond. Because it is not the animals fault that their previous owner did not spay/neuter or keep them safe from harms way. We want every animal to feel the love that each and every one of them so deserves. Because we are a small volunteer only organization; donations, volunteers and fosters are always in high demand and greatly appreciated! You can sign up to help us thru Kroger Community Rewards and use DEVOTED FRIENDS ANIMAL SOCIETY INC.Organization No.:91559. We are registered with Amazon Smile to receive donations when orders are placed if you select us as your charity. igive.com also will donate to us if you use their page to select vendors and place orders.

Our main address is located in Ortonville, Michigan however we have fosters caring for dogs, cats and other small pets in 4 counties of Michigan. We are completely foster based with homeless animals being fostered in Oakland, Lapeer, Genesee and Monroe Counties. We participate in adoption events at Pet Supplies Plus Stores, Petsmark, Petco and Tractor Supply stores at various times of the year. The Devoted Barn is one of our programs operating in Monroe County that shelters abused and neglected animals. It is managed by one of our board members with an army of volunteers who share the care and rehabilitation of horses, pigs, goats, sheep, feral dogs, llamas and some cats.

Additional adoption info

We require a personal interview at which time we review our guidelines for pet's care and make sure our contract is agreeable as well as answer any questions.

DOGS: The adoption fee is $250 -$350 after completion of the adoption application, home visit and interview. If the dog is over 5 months of age the adoption fee includes heartworm test, rabies vaccine, spay/neuter done, and distemper vaccines (if needed).

If you are adopting a puppy under 4 months of age, there is an additional CASH deposit of $80 which is returned when proof of spay/neuter is provided to DFAS within the required time frame (which is part of the adoption contract).

CATS: Adoption fees generally are $50 for unaltered cats/kittens and an additional $65 CASH ONLY deposit required until proof of spay/neuter between 4 and 5 months of age has been provided to DFAS.. Kitties who are already spay/neutered are $100 regardless of age.

All cats and kittens are up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines and FELV tested if they are over 5 months of age. We test the mom of kittens if she is with them.
