On Google animal care control, it said that they opened at 10:30 AM. I get down to the building, and they have moved to another location. I go to that location off of Russell Street. And the build isn't open . The lady tells me that she have to get someone to open the gate, then a lady comes out and said that they are closed. On the website, it said that there are open Monday through Friday. What is going on with animal control?They need to get their business together.They are not professional.

I work at Kroll Construction and we just hosted our second dog adoption event for the Friends of Detroit Animal Care and Control. The entire day could not have gone smoother. Not only do they do a stupendous job of marketing the event, but the staff is highly organized and will handle virtually everything from setting up, screening potential adopters, and the paperwork for the actual adoption. A volunteer is assigned to each dog and watches over them the entire event, talking with guests about the pet, taking them for walks as needed, and making sure they are fed and comfortable. All of the volunteers are friendly, well educated, and love pets! We were able to find seven dogs new families, with 1 being fostered and another 'slumbered' where prospective owners take in the dog for a trial period to see if it is a good fit. If you are a business owner interested in hosting an adoption event, I highly recommend working with the Friends of Detroit Animal Care and Control. You will be in good hands as they make helping animals easy and fun!

this place IS a kill shelter! do not let them fool you! we had a worker personally come up to us and say they kill about 50% of the dogs they get, sometimes not even due to aggression but rather SPACE! they are incredibly unorganized, made us wait an 1h30 in the hot sun with a dog, the other people we were waiting outside with told us their dog would be ready to pick up at 10.30... but at 10.30 all the workers were pulling up to clock in! unbelievable!

Years ago animal control came to my neighbor's house took two of their dogs out of a pen in the backyard they left a card at the door and when the homeowners came they said $300 a dog to get your dogs back. They didn't speak English very well at that time I told them to fight it they wouldn't they didn't want no trouble they didn't have the $300 so they couldn't get their dogs back I told them to call and ask why? When they call the number on the card to ask why they were told the dog bit the mailman. My family are good friends with the mailman so I asked the mailman if he was okay. He informed me he was not bitten nor was a substitute mailman bitten he also informed me if he was bitten by a dog animal control would not get $300 of dog to return the dog he would be injured and there would be a lawsuit and an amount would be decided by a judge. I have had to deal with animal control myself now I love my neighbors they're amazing but I blame them for not fighting the Injustice because now they think they're some type of gang in my neighborhood they are currently trying to stop me from following my doctor's orders for a service animal and one particular publicly requested my medical records which is against HIPAA laws however he's informed me that animal control is over state and federal laws. They take advantage of my neighborhood because there are a lot of immigrants here and it's in an impoverished area in Detroit so they bully us and do whatever they want. He was at my house for 5 days straight I had to call animal control and tell them if they did not get him off of my property I would charge him rent and I would press stocking charges against him. I'm not sure what to do I have a long history of caring for animals there are some national organizations for animal welfare that I have been working with for most of my life since I was a kid. I have sheltered many animals cats and dogs for different non-profit organizations. They have decided to just throw everything at me and see what sticks. They are able to operate outside of the law because somehow I haven't even had a court date yet but I have a warrant for failure to vaccinate my dogs when my dogs are vaccinated. This warrant has caused me to lose my job. There are staff members who are aware of the corruption that goes on at animal control they are all about control they have no care or concern for the people or the animals in the city of Detroit you can Google them and see how many times nonprofit organizations have gone against them how many times their own staff members have left because of the cruelty they do to animals yet they come to my house when I have dogs that are 18 and 20 years old been to vets faithfully and my dogs have insurance even if I don't have insurance my dogs do. My dogs have had insurance for years once they first came out with it. It's sad that they can come and say your dogs don't have shots when your vet says your dogs do have shots. It said that they can then say whatever they want about you even though it's not true and there's nothing you can do about it how they put a warrant for failure to vaccinate on me before I even went to court because I still haven't gone to court yet it's very interesting. How they can just look at my dogs and tell if they have a vaccination or not very interesting. How they can demand my medical records when I should be protected by HIPAA laws very interesting. How the mayor and the political parties can let them run like this very interesting. I believe in God and we will get trials and tests. I just think it's disgusting how they treat animals I think it's disgusting that they blame the people of Detroit who are mostly good people trying their best to raise their families and feed their children. I took in my two nieces their mother died due to covid and one is down syndrome and one is autistic I have one full time and I have one part time. They were very traumatized by this one particular animal control. I have lived in other cities and I have worked with animal control.

A24138305 reference#, this place is terrible. There have been loose dogs on my block for two weeks. I have called numerous times and have given my address to help them locate the dogs. I explained that if they knock on my door I would be able to direct them to the dogs but the guy who answered was dismissive because I couldn’t give my neighbors address. The City of Detroit needs to do better and hire people who really want to do their jobs. Sad. I am going to report this to the news station today. If a child gets hurt then the animal control organization will want to act as if they were being diligent then. Horrible people are working here and need to be fired.

They're great. I hate the fact they neuter and spay because I'm a Muslim and I can only have a dog to protect my property. I ended up adopting one of their pitbull terriers about 14 months ago. His name is Cash and this is my guy. He had a lil separation anxiety when I 1st got him but he's a good dog. Bad at times but a good dog.
