I'm a dog lover to the core. When I was little, I obsessed over learning about different dogs and nagged my parents to get a new puppy. I grew up with 2 small dogs who are mixed breed and now are 11 years old. I am also a regular volunteer with a local no-kill animal shelter called PAWS. Can't wait to spend quality time with your pup!!

Dog Boarding in Flint
One of the largest shelters serving Flint, The Humane Society of Genesee County is on a mission to find forever homes for all the animals in need that walk through its doors. One of the ways they work towards this is through their Golden Friendship Program, which waives the fee for any senior looking to adopt any pet exceeding one year of age. This shelter, as you can see, is highly involved in their community. In addition to adoption programs like Golden Friendship, HSGC also had a reading program, Furry Tales, that allows kids to read to adoptable animals. HSGC has a robust donor program called Friends for the Future, and hosts numerous fundraising galas and events throughout the year in order to maintain all of the engaging programs they have built.
Acting as the official shelter for the municipality, Genesee County Animal Control is a no-kill facility with an open admission policy. Through a large volunteer network and expansive foster family support system, this shelter has an excellent live outcome rate for the hundreds of animals they see annually. As an extension of the city government, this shelter is also in charge of handling instances of lost pets, strays, abuse, and nuisance animals.
Beginning as a small, rescue non-profit with a fierce drive to protect animals from dangerous and neglectful circumstances, Pets Are Worth Saving Animal Rescue has been a resource for education and rehabilitation for years now. PAWS has gradually been building is supporter base, and was recently able to acquire property to expand their operation. All fundraising efforts have been channelled towards getting this new facility running to better serve their animals with adoption barriers and rehabilitative needs.
