Hope Animal Shelter

The majority of the shelter's running funds—which are used for things like electricity, upkeep, food, and veterinary care—come from membership fees, donations, and fundraisers, but they haven't kept up with costs. OCAP sought a millage of 0.15 mils for four years beginning in 2013 in order to provide a reliable source of funding. In terms of taxable property value, this equates to 15 cents every $1,000 ($4.50 per year on $30,000.00). We are appreciative that Ontonagon County voters approved this millage to fund the shelter.

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.

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.

K-SNAG was founded with the intention of helping locals with the cost of spaying and neutering their dogs in an effort to lessen the amount of stray animals in our community.

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.

We are a neighborhood non-profit run and staffed entirely by your neighbors. Based on what we think is best for them, we decide how to care for homeless, unloved, abandoned, and abused domestic animals. We are not associated with or funded by any larger organization that might have an impact on our choices or behavior.
