About Our Shelter

Animals posted are currently in the Ingham County Foster Care Program or at the Shelter. As with many shelters, ICAC gets many pure bred dogs and cats, however, unless there are AKC papers with the dog, we cannot guarantee that the animal is a purebred. We do our best to identify the breed or breeds our animals are.

Please check the individual postings for contact information, call the shelter during business hours to arrange a meeting, or check the Ingham County Web site for listings of upcoming mobile adoption events.

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.
