Emmet County Animal Shelter

We live in a primarily rural area with a 50% poverty level and 40% non Caucasian/transient population. Due to the farmer mentality or disposable mentality of our area many pets find them selves homeless due to no fault of their own. We take in animals that are neglected, abandon, injured or just unwanted. We rehabilitate them and then re-home them through our adoption process. We have been solely foster based since 2010 and are currently building our new facility. We do it all with volunteers and we do it because we love it! The animals deserve better and we try our best to offer them that by doing what we can, when we can, the best we can, with what we have and with all our heart.

Meet Piper

***The first step in the adoption process is to complete the application at www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org*** Hello!  My name is Piper, and I lost my owner sadly, so I am looking for a new person to protect and shadow!  I am very cautious with men but am willing to work on it if you are. But if you're a single gal looking for a companion and guardian, I'm your girl. Cats are not my favorite unless they liked to be chased.  If I am displeased, I will let you know and will tell you all about the transgression with my wide range of vocalizations.  I won't potty in the house and I don't like to share my treats with anyone.  My foster brother is not very easy to get along with (but he's really kinda a grump) but I don't mind the company of my foster sisters.   If you are in need of a shadow that will protect you from all of the things plus snuggle on your lap for movie night, I am your girl!  I am 3 years old, a stout 37 pounds, spayed, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped.  My adoption fee is $275.00 and I'm worth every penny! 

Adoption Process
application, adoption fees for dogs/puppies start at $150-$300. Cats/kittens are free will offering adoptions. Contracts for adoptions must be signed. All animals (unless too young) are altered prior to adoption. If not altered a deposit is paid and given back plus a rebate after the alteration has been performed.

Look for other dogs for adoption!
