Adopt a rescued pet from
SPCA of Southwest Michigan

We are a volunteer-led organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and responsible adoption of homeless pets.  We rescue more than 90 percent of our homeless pets from ten Southwest and South Central Michigan pounds.  Once safely in our care, we restore our pets to health, treating a wide variety of medical problems.  All our pets are sterilized and brought up to date on required vaccinations.  When ready, we place our pets in responsible and caring homes, using an effective screening process.

The SPCA of Southwest Michigan is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit animal welfare organization.  We receive no public funding.  Our operating budget derives from private donations and the service fees we charge at the time of adoption.

Over the years, we have begged and borrowed to provide the critical shelter space that has driven our growth.  We began operating in the Spring of 2002 in an unheated barn on private property in South Portage, operating only in the warm weather months.  When winter came, we installed a portable heater to continue to rescue pets.  After a short stint in another, much more comfortable private kennel space in 2005, we leased a former bagel factory in Kalamazoo beginning in April, 2006, at 219 Peekstock Drive.  We operated out of this until January 2010.  But this facility was fraught with problems—primarily in the lack of floor drains and in poor ventilation, both of which contribute to the transmission of disease.

We therefore launched a capital campaign to build a new shelter in January 2008.  Our new pet rescue center at 6955 West KL Avenue in Oshtemo Township is now open and serving the Southwest Michigan community.  The campaign to finance this building project is ongoing.

We have seen strong adoption results over the last eight years, with a cumulative total of 8,731 adoptions as of December 31, 2009:

2002 (8 months only) 528 adopted animals
2003   701 adopted animals
2004 930 adopted animals
2005 1,037 adopted animals
2006 1,265 adopted animals
2007 1,518 adopted animals
2008  1,342 adopted animals
2009 1,410 adopted animals
2010 (through July) 746 adopted animals

The SPCA of Southwest Michigan is one of the largest and most productive pet rescue organizations in the State of Michigan.
