The Detroit Animal Shelter is overcapacity and needs to find forever homes for local dogs and cats.

Adoptions are available daily at Detroit Animal Care from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., located at 7401 Chrysler Drive in Detroit. Right now, the shelter is waving all adoption fees.

All dogs and cats up for adoption are microchipped, vaccinated against rabies and have received their first round of vaccines. Dogs are neutered arrive with a collar, leash, food and goodie bag.

“Our valued community partners and rescue groups are helping us save animals and reduce overcrowding at our shelter,” Mark Kumpf, director of animal care, said in a statement. “We couldn’t do it without them, and the many Detroiters who support us by opening their homes and hearts to these deserving animals. I am extending heartfelt thanks on behalf of our entire team, and I am urging all Detroiters to please come to check out our available pets. They are cuddle-approved.”
