Act 224, 1970

Use of Dogs and Cats for Research essentially incorporates the standards of the Federal Animal Welfare Act into state regulations. The state law applies only to dogs and cats and inspection responsibility is assigned to the Michigan Department of Agriculture.  Several cities and counties in Michigan have adopted ordinances or policies permitting the release of unclaimed and unwanted dogs and cats to approved scientific institutions for use in research and education.
