Great Lakes Bay Animal Society is a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal rescue organization consisting of 100% volunteers. Founded in 2012, they decided there was a need for a companion animal rescue and took action to decrease the number of euthanized animals in the Great Lakes Bay region of Michigan. A portion of each Pin Paws purchase goes towards supporting their mission and helps cover some of the costs incurred with vaccinations and spaying/neutering each rescued pet. One by One. Hour by Hour. Life by Life.
