The Friends For the Dearborn Animal Shelter is an animal welfare organization. Our daily mission is to help find loving forever homes for rescued animals that come through our doors. Along the way, we provide medical care, animal socializing, a safe haven for the animals, and function as a resource about animal welfare for the community. As animal advocates, we provide active outreach programs that let you take part in helping further a more humane world for animals and their humans.

Congress & Tax Deductions
May 2011: The Friends are concerned about potential legislation in Congress that will cut the allowable charitable tax deduction rate, impacting many donors to our organization. There are several plans in discussion, including one that will eliminate deductions altogether and replace them with a tax credit system.
