A Future With No Unwanted Pets

At AC PAW, we are dedicated to reducing the pain and suffering of dogs and cats caused by the severe overpopulation crisis in the five county area of Northwest Lower Michigan.
Since 1995, we’ve rescued over 16,000 animals across Northern Lower Michigan, thanks to the vision of our founders, Brian Manley and June McGrath.

Today, we focus exclusively on our Spay & Neuter Project, providing low-cost options to prevent unwanted litters and working to educate our community on responsible pet ownership. By concentrating on spay and neuter, we continue working toward our ultimate goal: A future with no unwanted pets. Will you help us continue this mission? We can’t do it without you!

Reduce Overpopulation

Spaying and neutering prevent unwanted litters, helping to reduce the overwhelming number of homeless animals in shelters and on the streets.

Reduce Shelter Euthanasia

Fewer unwanted animals mean fewer pets in shelters, ultimately reducing the number of animals euthanized due to overcrowding.

Improve Our Community

Managing stray populations with spay/neuter programs helps reduce the spread of diseases and improves the well-being of our community.
