Help the pets!

  

Before you donate to an animal organization...

Helping animals is truly wonderful but we understand resources are limited. You want to help the animals but you also want a legitimate organization that uses your money wisely and follows the law. Following State and Federal law is a good indicator if the organization is legitimate.

All Michigan Non Profits that raise over $8,000 in one year must file with the Attorney General. You can check the organization's status at the web site below or by calling (517) 373-1152
