About City of Grand Rapids Animal Control - For LOST & FOUND pets only, no adoptions

The City of Grand Rapids Animal Control Shelter is managed by the Grand Rapids Police Department. We house stray animals for the Itasca County Sheriff's Department, the Grand Rapids Police Department and the Town of Cohasset.

MN state statute requires animals to be held for five days if they are a lost pet. We hold them for ten because we serve a large area and want to give the owners time to find their loved ones and contact us. At the end of the ten days, we work with other area shelters to adopt out the animals. We do not do direct adoptions.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
