Our Mission Pretties for Pitties is a Detroit, MI, based 501c3 non-profit, volunteer-run organization that serves pets and their families in Southeastern Michigan. Our fundamental goal is to reduce the number of pets in general, and pitbull-type dogs in particular, that are surrendered to over-crowded area shelters. We strive to meet this goal through advocacy, owner and public education, training, a community pet food bank, spay/neuter assistance, vaccinations, supplies, and microchipping. Through our community outreach, animal welfare, and owner retention programs, we help loving pet owners overcome roadblocks to pet ownership by providing the resources necessary for them to keep their pets.
