Rabies and Distemper vaccinations will also be provided at no cost. Micro-chip identification implants, Heartworm and Bordatella vaccinations will be available at a reduced cost.The services will be offered again on August 22 at the Detroit K9 Pet Supplies on East Warren. The event begins with pet drop and finishes with a community cookout for all pet owners from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

There are 50,000 – 100,000 stray dogs running loose in the streets of Detroit, and only 23 animal care workers to rescue them. Over 90% of dogs picked up in Detroit are euthanized. There are simply not enough resources, funding, rescue workers, or people who are willing to adopt. Detroit Dog Rescue was born in February 2011 after the City of Detroit refused to allow access to a network television series that would have documented the stray dog situation. There is a stray dog epidemic in the city, just as there is in many cities across the United States that have had to deal with economic decline, dwindling populations and abandoned buildings. If other animal lovers around the world could see what we see on the streets of Detroit every day, we know that they would help us make a difference in this city, one dog at a time.
