Special Announcement
Dear AC PAW Friends, Supporters and Champions,
After giving fully of themselves for so many years, it is time for Brian and June to retire and take well-earned time for themselves. They are proud that the AC PAW legacy will live on, albeit in a new form.
For nearly 30 years, AC PAW has been saving dogs and cats across northern Michigan. Following the vision of Brian Manley and June McGrath, AC PAW has saved thousands of cats and dogs from suffering. The AC PAW mission statement was then and always will be “Shelter From the Storm.” An important part of that mission has also been focusing on the spay and neuter of pets to help control the pet overpopulation problem.
Through The AC PAW Spay & Neuter Project, we assist pet owners by subsidizing the cost of spaying and neutering their pets. To date, we have helped to sterilize over 1,000 family pets, preventing thousands of unwanted pets from being born. Through community TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) programs, hundreds of community cats have been sterilized, helping to stop reproduction, suffering and the spread of disease.
Gradually, over the next few months, AC PAW will begin the process of transitioning to becoming a full spay and neuter assistance and educational program.
Effective immediately, we have a permanent hold on animal intake and will focus on doing what we have always done – finding loving homes for the animals that remain in our care.
The AC PAW Spay and Neuter project will continue the current voucher assistance program along with an added focus on holding spay and neuter clinic days with local veterinarians who share our vision.
We will expand our public outreach and educational programs as we move forward.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Your donations are the very means of our existence!
Without your help, many dogs and cats would simply have to be turned away! Our success depends on you!
94% of every dollar you give is used for the direct care of thousands of dogs and cats saved each year.
Any amount you give – large or small makes a difference in the life of each and every cat and dog!
Your donation will provide food, kennels, veterinarian care and so much more for needy animals!
Please show your support and help us continue this important work today!
It’s all pointless unless they find a loving home for life!
AC PAW works hard to find a forever home for each and every one of the animals we rescue.
If you would like to become a forever home to one of the many loving animals we have available for adoption, please fill out the pre-adoption questionnaire.
