Little Traverse Bay Humane Society

The Charlevoix Area Humane Society is an independent non-profit 501(c)3 no-kill animal shelter that has been helping pets and their owners in Charlevoix County since 1974. It is committed to the protection and care of all animals.

On March 20, 1972, the Cheboygan County Humane Society became a legal entity. The Society is committed to supporting the adoption of adoptable, stray animals and locating homes for them.

Cat and kitten rescue Just Cats, Inc. operates out of foster homes. To assist the neighborhood with the stray cat population, we collaborate closely with other rescue organizations, shelters, and humane societies. When owners can no longer give their cats or kittens the care they need, we also assist in finding new homes for them.

The Donald Reece Animal Shelter served as the foundation stone for the establishment of the Otsego County Animal Control Department in 1974. The director of animal control is in charge of managing the staff and the shelter's general operations. The County Administrator is the Director's superior.

The Mackinac County Board of Commissioners passed an animal control ordinance in June 1997 requiring all dogs old enough to receive a rabies shot to be licensed annually.

The Help From My Friends' Pet Catastrophe Center helps Antrim County by accepting mainly owner-returned pets as a result of a family crisis. These pets originated from loving homes, but when their owners were left with no other choices, they were forced to give up their pet (s).
