Friends of Detroit Animal Care & Control (FoDACC) believes in creating safer communities for humans and dogs alike. We firmly believe that every dog is an individual, deserving to be understood, appreciated, and loved for their distinct traits and behaviors. We believe that every dog deserves to be treated with kindness, patience, and respect. We advocate for responsible pet ownership and evidence-based solutions to create safer communities, regardless of breed. By focusing on education, training, and promoting positive interactions between dogs and people, we can build a community safe for people and dogs.
