Adopt an animal here!

My first fur baby I adopted from Emmet County Animal Shelter was Mia, a 3 year old , 8lbs, female Chihuahua back in 2015. Their description of Mia was spot on, in temperament, demeanor, and attitude, housebroken, leash manners, health, so on and so forth. Mia has been my constant companion ever since. She goes with me almost everywhere I go. Depending mostly on weather, the temperature to be specific and how long she would have to stay in my vehicle if she couldn't go inside with me. My rule of thumb is no more than 10 minutes in the car and again I'm very mindful of the temperature. She has traveled back and forth to Michigan to see my folks for a week or two, twice a year. Our last stretch ended up being 6 months. And those trips never phased her. She is good wherever I am. I also take her for rides on my bike. I got her a front handlebar backpack that detaches to use as an actual backpack if we park the bike. She loves it. But her favorite is to go for a walk and at 11 years old now, she still has a giddyap and go in her step and we walk for a mile or two. I let her determine how long our walks are. I would definitely get another fur baby from Emmet County Animal Shelter if and when the time came. You should too.

Nice people but should take all animals and reduce fee for neutering

I adopted my cat in May from here. He is the sweetest and they are so nice! They make sure you are a good fit before taking home your new fur baby!

We adopted sibling cats, they were so helpful as we are first time cat owners.

I had an issue with a lot of stray cats in my backyard. So, I put a live trap out there to remove them in a humane way and caught one within hours of setting the trap. Call with no answer, had to Facebook message them to get back to me. Once they came out to pick up the cat, the worker was very rude. She treated me like a was stupid and very bad attitude towards me. I was thinking of adopting a pet from them in the future but I won't be doing anything with them again after how their employee treated me at my own house.

We had been looking for a dog that would be a good fit for our family. We had applied for a few. Emmet County Animal Shelter was very impressive. They volunteers who work tiredlessly to care for the animals were very responsive. Kristy was very professional but very down to Earth. She was informative but not in a know it all way. We truly loved working with her. We drove almost 4 hours to get our fur baby! You can tell Kristy and the volunteers had already begun working on some training with him. We feel blessed to have our fur baby and are greatful for the people working here who kept him safe til we found him. Thank you, angels truly walk the Earth!!

Less than impressed with the operation of this shelter. Had submitted an application to adopt a kitten posted on the website. They take a long time to respond. My daughter also submitted an application and they never did respond to hers. Never did get a responce as to whether I was approve or not. I just gave up.

There have been few places I've had as good of an experience with as the Emmet County Animal Shelter. Kristy is very kind, helpful, and cares for the animals here so well. This is an amazing animal shelter!

My boyfriend and I were interested in adopting a kitten that was posted on their website. We reached out through an email to inquire about making the 2.5 hour drive to meet him. Unfortunately, they did not get back to me for a week. Finally, when they got back to us, they sent over the application process. Once I completed this right away, they did not reach back until about a week later and did not tell me if we were accepted or not. They were not easy to work with and made us think they don’t care about getting homes for their animals if their “process” took over a few weeks without answering any follow up emails either. Not impressed and don’t recommend their business.
