Our Paws and Purpose
In the heart of Grand Rapids, Michigan, lies the beating pulse of compassion—Michele's Rescue. Since 1997, we've been making tails wag and hearts soar as a 501(c)3 non-profit companion animal rescue. Our mission? To turn "put-downs" into pick-me-ups and transform once-forgotten lives into tales of joy, warmth, and unconditional love.

A Haven of Hope
Michele's Rescue isn't just a place—it's a promise. A promise to animals near and far that there's always a light at the end of the tunnel, a warm bed, and a family that's been patiently waiting to be found. We proudly wear the badge of a no-kill rescue, giving each furry soul the chance they deserve.

From Everywhere, For Everywhere
Our paws touch ground in the name of every fur-friend, no matter where they hail from. Our rescue reaches across the nation, extending a helping paw to those who need it most. With open hearts, we welcome animals from every corner and give them a second chance at the life they were meant to live.

The Tale of Transformation
Every life is a story waiting to be written, and at Michele's Rescue, we're the authors of second chances. The animals that grace our care are more than just pets—they're our inspiration. Through dedication and love, we make sure they're ready for their next chapter. Vaccinated, spayed/neutered, microchipped, parasite-free, and armed with tails wagging, they step out into the world with hope in their hearts.
