Pictures of Hope has partnered with COTS and Michigan Humane.
COTS children visited Michigan Humane’s Mackey Center for Animal Care and photographer adoptable dogs, cats, and even rabbits. These photographs were turned into greeting cards, paired with their wishes for the animals they met that day.
“It is giving these children the opportunity to know they can make a difference,” Solomon said. “When you tell them, ‘You’re helping find a home for these pets,’ imagine how it makes them feel. They feel important and they feel that they’re respected. When you end up in a shelter, you don’t think anybody cares. This shows that you’re making a difference.”
Pictures of Hope has made it possible for COTS families and Michigan Humane to work together to prevent the families from surrendering their beloved pets.
When families move to a shelter, they cannot keep their pets. Because of the partnership Pictures of Hope has created the Michigan Humane Safety Net Foster program will now foster the COTS families pets until they can be reunited in their own home!
This is ground breaking!
Many families refuse to go to shelter and live on the streets because they do not want to give up their pets. Because of Pictures of Hope, the COTS families will never have to feel this sadness.
