Who We Are
The Michigan Animal Rescue League (MARL) is one of southeast Michigan’s most established animal welfare organizations, serving the community since 1953. Our history and experience combined with constant evaluation of trends in animal welfare and sheltering have made us a necessary and respected asset within our community. As “A Different Breed of Shelter” we challenge the stereotypes of traditional animal shelters and believe that the “Quality of the Wait” can make all the difference in the future of an animal. MARL provides life-saving care to over 1,500 dogs and cats annually.

At MARL we foster a vibrant team environment where collaboration, support, and a shared passion for animal welfare aren’t just words – we live it every day and it drives our success.
