For 53 years, the Almost Home Animal Shelter has been a cornerstone of our community, founded by dedicated, compassionate local citizens to provide refuge for stray, abandoned, and surrendered dogs and cats. As an independent, private non-profit organization, we are committed to the welfare and placement of animals in loving, permanent homes. We ensure all animals are spayed or neutered before adoption and attend to their medical and surgical needs.

The shelter operates solely on the generous donations and support of the community members. It is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and complies with Michigan State Regulations for animal shelters.

The Board of Directors feels it is important to clarify that Almost Home Animal Shelter has never been affiliated with any national humane organizations, nor is it governed by them. We pay no dues, and we have never received any funding from them.

The Board of Directors of Almost Home Animal Shelter want to extend our sincere gratitude to the supporting county board members — Joe Stevens, Kevin Sullivan, Peter Swanson — and the public for their unwavering support.
