Animal Welfare Society of Southeastern Michigan We are a 100% NO-KILL animal shelter & rescue dedicated to saving lives in Michigan, Texas and Ohio.

Founded in 1982, the Animal Welfare Society of Southeastern Michigan (“AWS”) is a 100% NO-KILL animal rescue and shelter. The animals stay with us until they find a good home, no matter how long that takes. We rescue animals from high-kill shelters in Michigan, Ohio and Texas. Animals are loved and cared for by our amazing staff and volunteers. They receive all necessary vet care, no matter what the cost. 100% of all donations go directly toward the care of the animals in our shelter. AWS strives to educate the public on the importance of spaying and neutering, along with proper vet care for your pet. AWS offers a food pantry to low income pet owners who can no longer afford to feed their pets. AWS also offers dog training at our facility, and adopters receive a 20%
discount when you sign up for class.

MEET SIMON! Simon is an adorable 1-year old Pomeranian mix. He is a very sweet and loving boy who just wants to be near his people. Simon can sometimes be a little temperamental when getting his leash on and off, or being put back in his kennel. He doesn’t always do it and he is getting better. The poor little guy was so scared when he first arrived. He is doing so much better. But he needs to get into a home so his full personality can be seen. SIMON DOES NOT LIKE OTHER DOGS SO HE MUST BE THE ONLY PET IN THE HOME! A fenced yard is required.

If you are interested in making Simon a part of your family, please submit your application today!

Albert is wondering why he doesn’t have any pending applications!?! This sweet 2-year old Maltese mix looks absolutely adorable since his hair is growing in. He came in very matted and had to be shaved down completely. Albert is such a sweet and loving boy. He loves to be with his people. Albert would benefit from some training. He tends to nibble and play bite your fingers. So you will have to work on that with him. Other than that, he is the perfect boy! A fenced yard would be best. Can you find room in your heart and home for Albert?

If you are interested in adopting this handsome little guy, please submit your application today!
