We are a County Animal Shelter attached to Roscommon County Animal Control. This department accepts strays and homeless pets as per official policies, investigates complaints, and rescues animals in emergencies. We encourage and support the community to spay/neuter, vaccinate, and microchip their pets. We are pleased to offer low-cost services to help out. Low-cost cat spay/neuter clinics are held monthly. At the time of surgery, you may also get vaccines. Call the shelter at (989) 366-0260 to learn more. Micro-chips are available at $25. We hold low-cost vaccination clinics annually. All dogs over 4 months of age must be licensed annually. New licenses are available November 1 - February 28 each year. Beginning March 1, licenses are considered delinquent.

Greta is available for adoption! She appears to be a Husky, Shepherd, and a mix of other breeds.

She loves to play! She needs an owner who will keep her engaged, active, but also teach her to settle. Also, someone able to leash train, teach recall, and teach her to stay down. She is just so excited to seize the day!

Introduce slowly to new dogs and could be selective.
No cats.

📸Thank you Katie Bruno for the fun pics!
