My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, I'm Spencer! Since you're reading this, you're obviously looking for a new best friend- and, hey, so am I!!!

I came to FMAR as a stray and my heartworm test was positive. I am so lucky that one of the FMAR volunteers fell in love with me and took me home with her while I was going through my heartworm treatment. I am done with that and am ready to find my forever home.

I would love a quiet home with a patient owner who will allow me to come out of my shell at my own pace. I can get overexcited and loud when I see other dogs and cats and sometimes even people that I don't know. I would be happy to be the only pet in your home but if you have a quiet and passive dog, I might feel comfortable with them.

I have a lot of love to give! If your have room in your heart and home for me, I'm waiting to meet you!

If you would like to meet me, please submit an application for me on our website https://www.friendsofmichigan.org/adoptable-dogs. I am neutered, up to date on all age appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and on monthly flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. My adoption fee is $250, which covers all of the medical care I have received.


*Each dog is different, so each adoption is different. The adoption process may require multiple visits to the shelter before a dog can go home with you. Or they may be ready on the first visit. It depends on the individual dog and the potential adopters. Once we receive your application, the Dog Staff will contact you to discuss meeting our dogs.

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

Go to friendsofmichigan.org/adopt to submit an application.

2.

Approve Application

Once we receive your application, we will review it and can contact you to possibly meet the animal.

3.

Visit the Facility and Find a Pet

If the application is approved and any additional paperwork is received (ie. lease, apartment contract), you will be scheduled to visit.

4.

Take the Pet Home

After entire family meets the pet and everyone is approving of the adoption, the animal can go to its new home!

Additional adoption info

FMAR is an no-kill 501 C 3 tax-exempt all breed dog and cat rescue, and like you, we are concerned about the welfare of the animals and the families that adopt them. We will require paperwork to be filled out and a consultation with the entire family before an animal is adopted. Interaction with any other dogs in your care and everyone living in the household is required. We reserve the right to deny any adoption that we feel is not safe or comfortable for either the animal or potential adopter.
Our adoption costs vary, but all include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate vaccinations, and a negative heartworm (dogs) or negative FIV/FeLV (cats) test.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

All of our adoptable animals are housed on site. We are by appointment only and require an application to be on file before coming to adopt our pets. We also take animals to the Westland Petco for meet and greets. Every Saturday, barring holidays, we are open to the public for meet and greets with our adoptable cats and dogs. An application is required after the meet and greet, should you find an animal you'd like to add to your family.

More about this rescue

Friends of Michigan Animals Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that began back in April 2003. Our founders bought a 6-arce property to build the shelters and the dog play yards. One small building grew into three over the years. We now have designated places for our adoptable dogs, cats, and our stray dog populations. To assist with the growing feral cat population, we have a TNR program. We also help people in times of need with our pet food bank. We have recently added on a clinic and a store. FMAR is ran on donations from the public and from our yearly fundraisers. Without our generous supporters, we could not do the work we do for the Belleville, Sumpter, Van Buren Twp., and other surrounding areas. We pride ourselves in being a part of our community and giving back wherever we can.
