Emmet County Animal Shelter

We live in a primarily rural area with a 50% poverty level and 40% non Caucasian/transient population. Due to the farmer mentality or disposable mentality of our area many pets find them selves homeless due to no fault of their own. We take in animals that are neglected, abandon, injured or just unwanted. We rehabilitate them and then re-home them through our adoption process. We have been solely foster based since 2010 and are currently building our new facility. We do it all with volunteers and we do it because we love it! The animals deserve better and we try our best to offer them that by doing what we can, when we can, the best we can, with what we have and with all our heart.

Meet Charlie

This sweet little man is Charlie! Charlie came to us in rough shape. He was extremely malnourished and had a head laceration after being struck by a car and left on the side of the road. Charlie had a rough start to life but don’t let his hardship fool you, he is the sweetest boy and absolutely loves everyone he meets! His favorite things are playing with his toys and swimming! Charlie is a pretty chill dude but would love a family to bring him on lots of adventures. He has been introduced to a couple other dogs and loves to play with other friendly dogs. He has been around cats and would do fine in a home with confident cats. Charlie has meet some children and loves all the attention they give him. This boy enjoys being outside to play but tends to chew/eat sticks and rocks, so it is very important for the family to keep a close eye on him when he’s outside so he is not doing those things. Charlie is crate trained and doing well with his potty training, but occasionally has some accident still. Someone who is able to work on basic training with Charlie with positive reinforcement is important. Charlie needs a family to show him the good life and treat him like a real member of the family like he deserves, could that be you?    Charlie will be adopted under a spay/neuter contract. Charlie is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and dewormed! With an approved application Charlie’s adoption fee is $300
