Make A Difference Rescue - Birmingham Pet Shelter

Make A Difference Rescue

Make A Difference Rescue (MADR) is a 501c3 non-profit, no kill, canine rescue. Our rescue was formed in 2010 for the purpose of preventing abuse to animals. MADR was primarily a foster based rescue until 2015, when we opened a shelter in Detroit to accept more intakes and expand our reach. We help the dogs no one else will touch, regardless of their breed, behavior, or medical condition. This includes saving dogs from euthanization from high kill shelters, medically-fragile owner surrenders, rescues from abusive situations, and disease-ridden strays. We provide the behavioral training, medical assistance, and support to rehabilitate these dogs, no matter the cost, until they’re ready for a new forever home. In addition, our staff is expertly trained in handling court case dogs, which makes it a statewide resource for many jurisdictions.

Adoption Process

We do require that potential adopters/fosters complete an application in person, and a face to face interview with a group representative. We do home inspections and cannot drive more than an hour. Fully fenced yard is required for our bully breed dogs and all puppy adoptions. All adult dogs have a one time adoption donation of $275. All puppies have a one time adoption donation of $300. If the dog is over 6 months of age, spaying and neutering is performed by the rescue and at the rescue’s cost.
