Metro Detroit is home to many animal shelters that are always in need of help. October is Adopt-A-Shelter Dog Month, making it the perfect time to considering giving a furry friend a forever home. Dogs need love and attention just like humans do, and they make great companions. Animal shelters are filled with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages that are waiting to be adopted. Metro Detroit residents should visit their local animal shelter during Adopt-A-Shelter Dog Month and adopt a dog in need. Not only will this make a difference in the life of the dog, but it will also bring joy to the adopter. Everyone wins when a dog is adopted from a shelter. Metro Detroit animal shelters are counting on the community to step up and adopt dogs during Adopt-A-Shelter Dog Month. Here's a list of 10 great Metro Detroit animal shelters to adopt from plus I have included the Detroit Pistons Adopt a Dog event on Saturday, October 15th.
