Special Animal Friends and Rescue, Inc, is a non-profit, no-kill organization formed to rescue, protect and re-home dogs. Our focus is on rescuing dogs from the streets, from shelters, and from homes where they are unwanted, and placing them into a foster home until we can find them the perfect family to adopt them. We believe every dog deserves a loving forever home.
Online Application
SAFARI will be temporarily accepting adoption applications online.
Applicants must live in the Metro Detroit area. Applications received from outside this area will not be considered.
Please complete the entire application to the best of your ability. Your application will be forwarded to our team of Adoption Coordinators. Please understand, we are a volunteer organization and all of our volunteers have full time jobs as well as families. If you have not heard from us within two weeks, we have decided to go with another family for that dog. If your application has been approved through the first stage, a adoption coordinator will contact you for an in-depth phone interview to cover your application answers.
