What if you could make a positive difference for homeless animals with just a small step?


Heavenly Paws of Michigan is a 501c3 Non-Profit dedicated to the well being and care of animals - large and small, young and old, healthy and in need. We are a 100% volunteer staffed, foster-based, canine and feline rescue and adoption organization with our principle rescues in Oakland County, Michigan. We have no shelter - all animals are cared for in the foster homes of our volunteers!


​We tirelessly strive for and envision the day where every adoptable companion animal has a loving, responsible home, where no animal will suffer from abuse, neglect or ignorance. We work toward creating a society that no longer views adoptable companion animals as a disposable commodity, but as valued members of the community. Where people responsibly spay and neuter their animals to address the overpopulation issue, ultimately creating a more compassionate and sustainable environment for all animals.
