ABOUT US
We’re a 501(c)(3) no-kill rescue dedicated to saving stray, sick, and injured dogs from the streets of Detroit. While we focus on rescue and recovery, 21 trusted partners help find loving homes for the dogs we save. We receive no government funding—every life we save is thanks to the compassion and support of people like you.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to rescue stray dogs—of any breed—off the streets of Detroit, focusing especially on those who are severely injured or sick. As part of our no-kill initiative, every dog we save is given a second chance at life, receiving the medical care and compassion they deserve.

Your Donations at Work
OUR DETROIT PIT CREW
STRAIGHT OUTTA DETROIT PROJECT
As the demands on our organization to be available 24/7 grew, we found it increasing difficult to do both the emergency rescuing as well as the adopting out part of rescue. In November of 2015 we started our “Detroit Pit Crew Straight Outta Detroit Project.” We were able to find responsible, reputable partner organizations to help us by adopting out the dogs that we rescue.
We provide all the medical care for the dogs and the transportation so that our rescued dogs can go to other organizations to be adopted out. This project has been a huge success and to date we now have 21 partner organizations and we have transferred out over 2,000 dogs, all of which have been successfully adopted in to loving forever homes.
If you are interested in adopting a dog please email us at [email protected] for a current list of recommended adopting agencies. We cannot guarantee that any of our rescued dogs are currently available for adoption or that you will be able to adopt one of our dogs.

There is no greater reward than witnessing once-helpless dogs leave the streets behind and find the safe, loving homes they deserve.
Each dog we rescue is given a second chance at life—a mission that drives our team to work tirelessly, seven days a week. But none of this would be possible without the generosity and support of our community. Your contributions are essential to every life we save.
Detroit Pit Crew Dog Rescue (DPC) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
