Mason County PAWS Humane Society

A nonprofit's support from the community determines how strong it is. We can accomplish more as a group than we can separately. Let's combine our skills and interests to create lasting change.

The County Administrator is in charge of the Oceana County Animal Control Department. We are responsible for handling situations involving animal abuse, animal abandonment, and strays.

A non-profit 501c3 organization, Bellwether Harbor Animal Shelter and Training Center provides services. In order to get the abandoned, abused, and neglected dogs and cats in our shelter ready for adoption by those looking for a lifelong companion, we are committed to their health and well-being.

Animals from all across the county that are brought in as strays or surrenders are cared for and housed at the Newaygo County Animal Shelter (NCAS). We make every effort to return animals to their owners, find new homes for them as family pets, or transfer them to rescue organizations for rehoming anywhere in Michigan or elsewhere.

The West Michigan area's homeless and/or injured dogs, cats, kittens, and puppies are cared for and placed for adoption at Lake Haven, a private, non-profit, all-volunteer animal rescue facility.

We are the only animal shelter in Mecosta County. A group of concerned animal lovers came together to form ARC in 2011 with the goal of bettering the conditions for Mecosta County's dogs and cats.
