DDR Bottle Drive Feb 9th

The Detroit Dog Rescue (DDR) has been very supportive of our community and getting to be known throughout the country.  There are too many dogs abused, neglected, or let loose in the Detroit area.  This is a fantastic non-profit that can use your help any time of the year.  Last fall they held an event called "100 Roofs for Woofs" which included donations of lumber and talent to make and paint 100 dog houses for dogs with no shelter in Detroit.  Check out The DDR FaceBook Page.

DDR is holding a bottle and can drive February 9th from 9am-3pm at the Blarney Stone Pub.  27253 Woodward Avenue, Berkley (North of 11 Mile).

Other ways to help: volunteer, give blankets, food, connections to vets, connections to media coverage, or money.  Check out their website and tell your friends.  DDR Website

The Michigan Humane Society will hold one of the largest pet vaccination events in its 135-year history on Saturday, April 21, at the Second Ebenezer Church in Detroit.

The event is planned because of a $10,000 grant from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

MHS will be offering the following vaccinations at this event:

This event will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the parking lot of Second Ebenezer Church, located at 14601 Dequindre Avenue in Detroit.

The event is free for all pet owners and no proof of low or fixed income is necessary. All dogs and cats must be on leashes or in appropriate carriers, and attending pets should be comfortable with being around other animals.

Vaccination services will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis to the first 2,000 pets in line.
