• Every Sat 1-4 pm at PetSmart in Commerce Twp unless otherwise noted.  If interested in meeting a particular pet, please email us in advance.  Private home visits may also be available.        

Update: April 1, 2012.

   A sweet two year old Yorkshire terrier named Luna was found with her back leg hanging and had to be amputated. 
  A mother and her two puppies were rescued as well.  The dark Shepherd mix has a front foot that is deformed or broken. Both front legs of the white Shepherd mix are bowed.  

All dogs need major medical care, including surgeries to fix their legs.  100% of your tax-deductible donations are applied to the medical care of GAAR's rescued pets.

On October 14th, All About Animals teamed up with GAAR & Detroit Dog Rescue to offer a spay/neuter program for 50 dogs in Detroit, free of charge to the owner of the dog.  Our volunteers had identified low-income neighborhoods in the area and went door-to-door to register unsterilized dogs for this event.  A snapshot of the event is below.

If you are interested in donating toward similar initiatives in Detroit, please contact us.  

With the increase in the number of cats we’ve been rescuing comes an increase of work on adoption days.

GAAR is searching for foster homes for both cats and dogs.  If you are interested in temporarily caring for a pet until a permanent home is found for them, please contact us at guardian_angel_rescue@hotmail.com.  We will work with you to find the right fit for your home. Many wonderful animals are waiting for a full belly, warm bed, and a human friend.

Saving one animal may not change the world,

 but it does change the world for that one animal.

Adoption Tip: Older pets are a good choice for the first-time adopter.   They are usually comfortable and well-adjusted to a home environment.  They tend to be calmer than younger pets and require less exercise and training. 

Due to a high volume of pets in our rescue, our ability to accept surrendered animals into our foster homes varies often. When we have room, we will contact you within 1-2 business days to make the necessary arrangements.  If we are full, please contact other rescues in your area.  Please click here to access an extensive list of rescues and shelters in Michigan, listed by city.
