ALL SPECIES KINSHIP: DIRECT-OUTREACH ANIMAL PROTECTION
A.S.K. HISTORY

All Species Kinship (A.S.K.) was founded in 2001 after
recognizing that there was a need for a direct-
outreach, hands-on animal protection organization in
Calhoun County. In 2003, A.S.K. formed a nonprofit
entity in the State of Michigan.

  • A.S.K. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization
    operating direct-outreach services throughout
    Southern Michigan with an emphasis on urban
    neighborhoods of Battle Creek.

  • A.S.K is operated by a vegan Board of Directors.
    All staff, Directors and volunteers are unpaid
    and have committed their lives to community-
    outreach and animal protection.


  • 100% of all contributions directly benefit local
    animals in need! Donations are never spent on
    office supplies or salaries! We do not pay
    ourselves to help animals!
A.S.K. ETHICS

A.S.K. believes that humans can humanely and
healthily coexist with other animal species without
causing unnecessary harm and without compromising  
natural behavior and freewill. As such, A.S.K. activities
and operations adhere to vegan ethics. A.S.K.
volunteers and supporters do NOT need to be vegan,
and may choose a lifestyle that fits their needs!

A.S.K. does not promote or use animals for profit,
entertainment, consumption or clothing.

  • 700 neglected 24/7
    chained/kenneled dogs

    doghouses were
    distributed for FREE
    during the 2009 winter
    season, to dogs that
    previously had NO, or

  • Over 2500lbs of
