Shelter FAQs

The Sanilac County Animal Control Shelter is dedicated to the welfare of the animals in Sanilac County. The Sanilac County Animal Control & Shelter is a governmental agency and is funded with tax dollars. Many tasks of our animal control is, but not limited to.... 1. Investigating animal cruelty. 2. Picking up stray and unwanted animals for the safety of the animals and citizens. 3. Housing and caring for stray and unwanted animals at the shelter. 4. Promoting the adoption of animals to caring and responsible pet owners. 5. Enforcing leash laws and other state animal control laws. 6. Providing the humane euthanasia/disposal of unwanted stray animals. 7. Advocating the spay and neuter of all pets due to the overwhelming amount of homeless animals. 8. Educating the public about responsible pet ownership and animal welfare. 9. Assisting owners of lost pets. 10. Assisting owners of pets that they can no longer keep. The Sanilac County Animal Shelter is located in a very rural area and only consists of 14 dog kennels and 6 cat cages. Although we try very hard, not all of our animals are placed and unfortunately have to be humanely euthanized due to limited space and funding. Two full time animal control officers are employed at Sanilac County Animal Control.
