 All I can do
is believe you will keep on being the warm
vaulting life, ravelled round mine,
although I may never hold you.

– Polly Atkin, “Rabbit in Morning”

Every year since 1992, the third Saturday in August has been dedicated to homeless animals all around the world. According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty towards Animals, 6.3 millions animals enter shelters each year. While that number is large, it is estimated that there are as many as 70 million homeless animals in the United States alone. No matter how much work is done, there is always more to do.

The organizations that do the important work of taking in, caring for, rehabilitating, fostering, and rehoming animals, because of the vastness of the problem, are always in need of support. SHARE is partnered with many great animal rescues and adoption centers, including,

• Michigan Animal Adoption Network / Animal Care Network
• I Heart Dogs Rescue and Animal Haven
• NBS Animal Rescue
• The Michigan Animal Rescue League (MARL)
• Friends for Animals of Metro Detroit
• Almost Home Animal Rescue League
• Happy Paws Haven Co
• Friends of Michigan Animals Rescue
• Misfit Angels Rescue 
• Michigan Pug Rescue, “Pug Luv”

We hope that you will take the time to support these organizations by attending an event, volunteering time, donating money, or shopping their wish-lists! If you are still in search of a nonprofit to support, please check out our directory here.
