Vernon Township Animal Control
A Second Chance for Every Friend
At the Vernon Animal Shelter, our mission is to ensure the safety, health, and happiness of every animal that comes into our care. We are dedicated to building a bridge between animals in need and the families who will love them forever.
Serving Our Community with Compassion
Operating as a municipal facility, we are an essential part of the Vernon Township community, working hard to enforce regulations that protect our local animal population. Our role is to provide a safe harbor for pets who have lost their way, ensuring every creature receives the care they deserve while awaiting their permanent home.
Our Commitment to Care
Our shelter operates from a dedicated, free-standing facility off Church Street, adjacent to the township's recycling and public works centers. Here, our professional staff and dedicated team provide essential services including shelter, care for sick or injured animals, and the management of local adoption programs. We take pride in maintaining a clean, responsive environment where the needs of our animals remain our top priority.
Finding Your New Family Member
We believe that every adoption is the beginning of a beautiful partnership, and we are here to help you find the perfect match for your lifestyle. Our animals are waiting to become your new best friend, and we encourage you to meet them at our shelter or preview them through our listings on petfinder.com.
Join Us in Making a Difference
