At Rea Family Animal Shelter, we believe that rescue isn’t just a job—it’s a way of life. Our dedicated team is committed to providing a sanctuary for the forgotten, neglected, and unwanted pets who need a second chance at a happy life.
Also known as the Ogemaw County Humane Society, we are a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization driven by a deep passion for animal welfare. We serve our local community by creating a safe, compassionate environment for animals in need, partnering with experts like Hills Science Diet to ensure they receive the best nutrition.
We pride ourselves on maintaining a clean, professional facility where every animal receives love and compassion as if they were our own. To ensure our guests feel secure and supported, our staff is Fear Free certified, specifically trained to minimize the stress and anxiety that animals can experience in a shelter setting. By focusing on a calm, orderly environment, we provide the best possible atmosphere for our animals while they wait for their forever families.
Adopting is about finding a companion who will be there for you as a best friend and stress reliever. We strive to create thoughtful, lifelong matches, which is why we ask all potential adopters to complete an application so our team can help you find the perfect pet. Whether you are looking for a loyal canine partner or a feline companion, our goal is to unite you with a pet who is ready to be a wonderful, loving addition to your home.
