About Friends of Detroit Animal Care and Control

Friends of Detroit Animal Care and Control (FoDACC) is a community-driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of Detroit’s animals and supporting the people who love and care for them. We proudly collaborate with, but operate independently from, Detroit Animal Care and Control (DACC) and community partners to save lives, strengthen the human-animal bond, and build a more compassionate city for pets and people alike. Our mission focuses on three key goals: 1. Keeping pets out of the shelter by helping Detroit residents access free spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchips, and pet food, and by developing a citywide Pet Resource Center to educate pet owners and support responsible and fulfilling pet care. 2. Supporting shelter animals by providing supplemental resources and bridging the gap so that animals at DACC receive quality care and compassion. 3. Helping network adoptable pets so they can find homes through adoptions, foster programs, and partnerships with rescue organizations. Through collaboration, compassion, and community engagement, FoDACC is creating a Detroit where pets and people thrive together, building stronger bonds and healthier neighborhoods, and increasing human-animal well-being.
