Upper Peninsula Animal Welfare Shelter

A 501(c)3 private, non-profit organization devoted to providing immediate treatment for the animals of Delta County is the Delta Animal Shelter. The County Sheriff's Office ran this shelter until August 2011, when budget shortages made it necessary to permanently close the facility. The Delta Area Animal Society, a group of animal enthusiasts, took over the business to stop it from closing permanently.

The mission of the Almost Home Animal Shelter is to  finding loving caregivers who will offer them a permanent home while fostering unwanted or abandoned pets.  Being an advocate for the local pet population in the neighborhood.

Volunteers cleaned and painted extensively, added dog and cat cages, and built a sizable outside dog run to improve the living conditions for the animals. Along with daily cleaning, the volunteers give the animals exercise, grooming, and basic medical attention.

The Eva Burrell Animal Shelter (EBAS) is a non-profit organization that aspires to transform the world one animal at a time. It is our intention to live lives that are deserving of them in order to benefit from their presence and to learn from the teachings they offer. We promise to inform, set an example, learn, and assist when and where we can. We also promise to be vigilant in our fundraising efforts and to live up to the confidence placed in us.

CCHS was established in 1974 to support animals in our neighborhood by offering foster homes for abandoned and mistreated animals. The Keweenaw Animal Alliance (KAA) was established as the region's first animal refuge in 1992.
