Shelter FAQs

Michigan Animal Rescue League (MARL) is a private, nonprofit animal shelter serving Oakland County and beyond since 1953.

Additional adoption info

1. If you are interested in an animal on our website, the first step is to fill out an adoption application which can be done online.
2. Once our office staff receives the application, they will review it which can take 3-5 days. We do not hold animals, and multiple applications are accepted on all animals.
3. Office staff may reach out to you with additional questions, to set up an appointment for you to spend time with the cat or dog you are interested in or to let you know if an animal's availability has changed.
4. If an appointment is made, we ask that all members of the household meet the animal and if you are applying for a dog, we ask that any dogs in the home meet as well.
5. A meet and greet does not guarantee an adoption. We are looking for the best fit.
