Shelter FAQs

We are a government agency that enforces Michigan State Law, however, we do operate a shelter to house all the stray and relinquished animals from our service area as well as contracting with nine other municipalities to house and adopt their stray and relinquished animals.
We serve northern and southwestern Oakland County, which covers 28 townships and municipalities. We handle over 9,000 animals per year.

Adoption steps

  1. Visit the Facility and Find a Pet
  2. Meet the Pet
    1. For dogs, we require a meet n greet with any people or other dogs that would be living with the dog you are interested in adopting.
  3. Submit Application
    1. We approve applications on the spot! Be prepared to leave the facility with the animal you are interested in!
  4. Sign Adoption Contract
  5. Take the Pet Home

Additional adoption info

We stop adoptions 30 minutes before close to give ample time to spend with the animal you are interested in and still have time to go over paperwork/medical history.
