Pets in our Shelter

Hits: 23556

 

Animals coming into the Animal Control Shelter for the most part are stray or abandoned. There is little or no known information about these animals. Stray/abandoned animals are normally held seven to ten days at the shelter waiting for their owner to claim them, after which time they become available for adoption.

If you see your pet on this web page, or see one you may be interested in adopting, please contact the shelter at 517-543-5755 ext 1, during regular business hours. While we make every effort to post pictures as soon as possible, there may be animals in the shelter that are not yet posted. If you are missing a pet that is not shown below please call or stop into the Shelter. 

 
*Note* Please consider adoption as you might just find your new best friend at our shelter. To look at or adopt one of the pets posted below, visit the Eaton County Animal Control Shelter.
 
Thank you!
