Best Buddy Pet Rescue

Animal rescue in Lake Orion, MI

Best Buddy Pet Rescue was founded in 2008 and became a 501c3 non-profit in 2010. As of 2023, the rescue has saved over 4,000 cats and dogs that were not receiving proper medications they regularly need or had been neglected or abandoned winding up at animal control shelters. Our goal is to save as many as we can and/or prevent them from having to go into shelters in the first place.

Most of our animals come from shelters, but we also take in owner surrenders and assist with feral kittens where trap-neuter-return programs are in process. We are committed to never leaving a mother behind and providing all the medical care necessary for any of our animals. We are a 100% foster and volunteer based program, with no paid employees and we rely solely on donations from the public. All funds go towards running our rescue and caring for our animals. We are always in desperate need of donations, fosters and volunteers!
