Great Lakes Bay Animal Society

Great Lakes Bay Animal Society Great Lakes Bay Animal Society (GLBAS) is a volunteer-driven, 501(c)(3) nonprofit helping cats and dogs in need.

Since 2012, we rescue stray, abandoned, and at-risk animals, placing them in foster homes and finding them loving families. We at the Great Lakes Bay Animal Society believe that by mobilizing the caring power of communities, we can reduce the number of these unwanted, neglected and abused animals that are surrendered to shelters in Midland, Bay and Saginaw counties. As a companion animal rescue, w

e give care and treatment to animals in transition to permanent adoptive homes through our Foster Program. Our Outreach and Youth Programs promote education for responsible pet ownership and the importance of spaying and neutering for controlling pet overpopulation. The Outreach Program is also working hard to foster a cooperative environment in the Great Lakes Bay Region, encouraging like-minded animal rescue and advocacy groups to share resources and support one another. We host and promote events, programs and resources that will benefit all organizations and individuals involved with and interested in animal welfare in our community, keeping in mind our ultimate goal of reducing the number of companion animals surrendered and euthanized in the Great Lakes Bay Region.

💙 A Little Rescue Story with a Big Heart 🐾

Yesterday, at 2:30pm, we received a text from Jessica that said:

"I found two tiny kittens today on my car tire when I went to leave for work and I'm looking for some place to safely take them."

She followed with:
"I have called approximately 15 other places within Bay City, Saginaw and Midland and no one is able to assist."

That is determination right there. 💙

Jessica had been referred to us by another rescue, and she didn’t give up—she safely contained the kittens and kept searching until someone said yes.

At 4:30, I picked them up.

And by 6:00, these two little ones were safe, fed, and settling into a comfortable place. 🐾

But this story doesn’t end there…
Jessica and her neighbor spent over 45 minutes working together to carefully rescue the kittens from the tire. When I arrived, they didn’t just hand them over—they sent them off with food and a generous $200 donation to support their care. 💕

This is what teamwork looks like:
✨ Determined good Samaritans
✨ Compassionate neighbors
✨ And a rescue ready to step in

Together, we turned a stressful situation into a happy ending—for two tiny lives.

Kitten season is here, and there are so many more who need this same chance. 🐾
