Who We Are

OUR STORY

In 2020, fate brought together three dedicated, animal-loving dog moms at a local shelter in Detroit through their shared commitment to volunteer efforts. United by a common goal, we swiftly discovered our collective passion: to make a significant impact in assisting animals in need. Eager to extend our reach and support, we embarked on a journey of fundraising through merchandise sales, organized events, and community outreach to attain our 501c3 nonprofit status.

After we achieved the goal of 501c3 nonprofit status, our focus expanded beyond just financial aid. We actively assisted families in meeting their pets' emergency medical needs, and soon found ourselves answering pleas from families seeking help with surrenders and shelters desperately seeking assistance in managing their overflowing kennels. It became increasingly clear that our organization's role in the community was indispensable and exceeded our initial expectations.

We are a powerhouse of women fighting for the voiceless.

Every penny we raise is channeled directly into the well-being of the animals under our care. It takes a village: join us on this remarkable journey as we provide unwavering love and support to these animals until they find their forever homes.

Connect with us on social media to witness the heartwarming updates on the lives we've touched, showcasing the tangible impact of your support in making a difference for these deserving beings.
