Roscommon County Animal Shelter
Our Mission
The Roscommon County Animal Shelter is dedicated to the care and humane treatment of all animals found stray, abandoned, or surrendered in our community. We strive to inspire compassion for these animals and ensure every pet receives the love and respect they deserve.
Who We Are
As a county-funded shelter in Michigan, we proudly serve the towns of Roscommon, Higgins Lake, St Helen, Houghton Lake, Prudenville, and parts of Gladwin. Our team is composed of passionate, hardworking individuals—from Animal Control Officers to dedicated kennel attendants—who ensure our facility remains a safe harbor for pets waiting for their forever homes.
Our Commitment to Care
We work tirelessly to provide a high standard of care for every animal that comes through our doors, focusing on vaccinations, deworming, and specialized nutrition. We are committed to being good stewards of public and donated funds, ensuring every dollar supports the health and well-being of our shelter residents. By advocating for spaying and neutering, we strive to create a safer, healthier future for all pets in our county.
Finding Your Perfect Match
We believe that adopting a pet is a life-changing partnership that brings immense joy and companionship. We encourage all potential adopters to visit us in person at our Prudenville facility to meet our animals and experience that critical initial bond. Whether you are looking for a loyal dog or an eccentric cat, our dedicated staff is here to help you find the perfect addition to your family.
Get Involved
You can make a real difference in the lives of our animals today. We invite you to view our adoptable pets online or stop by the shelter to meet them face-to-face. If you are unable to adopt, please consider supporting our mission through a donation to help us continue providing life-saving care.
