Services
Adoption
Our adoption program matches rescued cats and dogs with loving families throughout Emmet County and the wider Michigan area. Prospective owners receive healthchecked animals, including spay/neuter verification and a supportive transition guide. The service reduces shelter overcrowding while giving each pet a permanent home.
Stray Care
We partner with Emmet County to impound, care for, and reunite stray animals in compliance with local ordinance. Each stray is held for at least seven days, receiving veterinary assessment, food, and shelter while owners are notified. This rapid response protects public health, reduces stray populations, and ensures animals receive humane treatment.
Boarding
Our boarding facility offers safe, climatecontrolled housing for dogs and cats when owners travel. Trained staff administers daily feeding, exercise, and medication as needed, ensuring each animals routine is maintained. Clients benefit from peace of mind knowing their pets receive attentive, compassionate care throughout their stay.
Grooming
Our professional grooming team provides bathing, nail trimming, and coat styling for dogs and cats of all sizes. Services are performed using gentle, hypoallergenic products to accommodate sensitive skin. Regular grooming promotes health, reduces shedding, and enhances each pets comfort and appearance.
Veterinary Services
Our onsite veterinary clinic delivers comprehensive medical care, from routine exams to emergency treatment. Licensed veterinarians perform vaccinations, dental cleanings, and surgical procedures, including spayneuter operations for community cats. Pet owners receive transparent treatment plans and followup support, ensuring longterm health and wellbeing.
