My story

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

Hi, my name is Manuel, and I'm around a year old. I came to the shelter with my mate Wyoming, and our two daughters, Dora and Isa. Our family was living outside for a while before being brought into a nice family's house. It took us some time to get used to being inside, but once we learned that people are safe, we started to open up. I'm a large boy who loves scratches on my squishy cheeks and bottom. When I get comfortable, I love to greet people and ask for attention; I also can be a talker. I'm not sure how I'd like living with dogs or children. More than likely, I'd prefer to either live without them, or if you do have dogs and kids, that they're calm and maybe a little older. I'm protective over Wyoming when it comes to being around other cats, so I'd do best in a home where we're the only cats there. I'm deeply bonded with Wyoming and would have to go with her.

If you'd like to adopt me, please submit an application. I'm neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and negative for FIV/FeLV.

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.
