Animal rescue in Utica, MI

Making Miracles Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing dogs and cats from shelters across Michigan. Based in Utica, Michigan, we operate as a no-kill, foster-based rescue. Although we don’t have a physical facility, we rely on compassionate foster families who open their homes to pets in need until they find their forever homes.

Our primary mission is to save as many dogs and cats as possible, regardless of breed or age. We firmly believe that senior pets deserve just as much love and care as puppies and kittens—and we’re passionate about finding loving homes for them all.

We’re also committed to promoting responsible pet ownership by encouraging spaying and neutering to prevent unwanted litters and reduce the number of animals in need of rescue.
