NOVEMBER - 2020
Our goal is to rescue stray dogs of any breed off the streets of Detroit that are injured, sick or that are in imminent danger and need immediate medical attention.

Your help is desperately needed!

November 2020 has proven to be an incredibly challenging month for us here at Detroit Pit Crew. We received numerous calls and messages regarding dogs in urgent need of medical care, however, due to Covid-19 several of the veterinary hospitals we utilize had to limit their intake while others had to completely close due to staff exposure. We know that for us, completely shutting down is not an option so we continued rescuing despite the obstacles that we faced. We utilized the veterinary hospitals that remained open and spent longer than normal wait times and financial resources this month. We will continue to do everything in our power to remain on the streets and available for the dogs that need us the most.

Our fundraising efforts have also been impacted due to Covid-19. We have relied heavily on our on-line fundraising to help us make it through. This year, more than ever, we need your support on #GivingTuesday. We have several donors who have come forward to match donations made to our organization between now and the end of Giving Tuesday, which is December 1st, 2020. Donations made in any amount are very much appreciated and they can be made by clicking on the link below or by mailing a check to us at P.O. Box 3111, Center Line, MI 48015 or by going to Detroitpitcrew.com.

As we celebrate Thanksgiving Day and remember all the sweet dogs we have helped throughout 2020, we are thankful for our supporters who donate towards our mission to rescue these destitute stray dogs in Detroit. We could never help so many of the voiceless without YOU!

With Sincere Gratitude,

Thanksgiving and the Dreaded Pancreatitis

Hello Again fellow Pet Lovers,

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and I wanted to talk about what pancreatitis is. I will grant that pancreatitis can happen at any time of the year, but especially around this time when we want to share our festive meals with our fur friends. If you think of our dog ancestor, the wolf, they eat the same things over and over again since their GI system is not set up to change food types every meal like ours is. When we constantly change our pet's diet or share our plate with them we can really upset their stomachs and possibly cause pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). The little organ sits right next to everything: stomach, liver and GI tract; and when it gets irritated everything does! Some dogs can get a little diarrhea and some can be screaming in pain and need hospitalization.  Remember this Thanksgiving be thankful for your fur friend and don't give table scraps.
