Wag Animal Rescue

Since 1988, WAG has helped find new homes for thousands of homeless animals. WAG has expanded and currently assists animals throughout the entire Southeast area of Michigan.

Our mission is to further the cause of animals and educate the public on the importance of spaying and neutering. Our members believe in the importance of life, human and animal alike.


Our Goals

To find permanent, loving homes for adoptable animals, whether they are unclaimed strays, or relinquished by their owners; To assist in the education of the public about the care needed by companion animals and the benefits to humans of sharing their life with a companion animal; To help educate the public about the benefits (both to animal and the public) of spaying and neutering companion animals.

An application must be filled out and approved before we will make special arrangements to meet a cat/kitten. A volunteer will review your application and contact you if you are approved or if further clarification is required. We will make every attempt to contact approved applicants within 5 business days of application submission (M-F), but this will depend on the number of applications received.

If you do not answer all questions then your application may not be processed. WAG Animal Rescue adopts to homes that are best fits for our animals' needs, and not on a first-come, first-served basis. We are an all-volunteer organization, and regret that we do not have the resources to contact applicants that are not approved.

Mostl animals ready for adoption are current on vaccinations, fixed, have tested negative on heartworm (dogs) and feline leukemia / FIV (feline AIDS) (cats), and have been dewormed.

Adoption fees provide some recuperation of costs associated with providing in-home and necessary veterinary care while the animal is in our program. Oftentimes the standard adoption fee is less than what we've in incurred in costs. The benefit of adopting from an organization that provides in-home foster care is that the animal's behavior has been evaluated by their care providers in a natural living environment, rather than oftentimes unpleasant surroundings of a shelter. WAG foster care providers care for the animals as if they are their own, and learn to know the animal's likes and dislikes, ability to co-exist with other animals, ability to tolerate children, and so forth.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
