Areas Kalamazoo County Animal Services & Enforcement serves

Kalamazoo County Animal Services & Enforcement (KCASE) is the only stray animal shelter in Kalamazoo County, MI. We are also the only Humane Law Enforcement Agency in Kalamazoo County.

Hundreds of lost, abandoned, unwanted and seized animals come to our shelter each year. While those animals are here, we feed and care for them until they are claimed by their owners, a new family, a rescue group, or until we can no longer keep the animal in our facility.

All stray animals are given 7 days to be reclaimed by an owner. After 7 days the animal may be adopted, rescued or euthanized. Once the animal has left the property with a new family or a rescue, the original owner will not be able to reclaim it even with proof of ownership. Because of this, its important that owners actively search for their animals if they want it returned home.

Animal Services also takes found reports from people who are hanging on to stray dogs, and we also pick up DOA domestic animals that have been deceased less than 24 hours. Those animals are not listed online. Please call and inquire.

Additional adoption info

If you are missing your pet:
• Come into the Animal Services Shelter at least once a week
• Contact local Rescues, Shelters and Humane Societies
• Check the Kalamazoo Gazette for Found Animal Listings
• Put up signs in your area, and let neighbors be aware so they can keep an eye out for you too

If you find your lost pet at the shelter:

• You will need to provide proof of ownership such as pictures, vet records or other documentation that you own the animal you are claiming.
• You will need to bring your drivers license or picture ID

Not all of the animals we care for are available for adoption. The shelter cares for every friendly, sick, injured, aggressive animal that comes into our facility. Our staff will be able to tell you if that animal is available for adoption or not.

If you want to adopt:
• Dogs cost $147.00 and Cats cost $97; those fees include spay/neuter surgery. Other species fees vary, please call our office
• Come into the shelter and handle the animals you're interested in
• You will need to bring your drivers license or picture ID and there is an adoption application to be filled out
• If you are coming from more than 1 county's distance away, please call us to make arrangements for viewing/adopting the animal

Kalamazoo County Animal Services & Enforcement's adopted pets

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Kalamazoo, MI.

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.
