Whenever anyone approaches her cage she immediaetly goes over to greet them and streches her paw through the bars to get a touch of attention. She has a beautifil fur coat and personalityt to match.

Our shelter and our manager Ginger were just voted number one in the tri-county. It was already considered a class A shelter by our inspector for the state of Michigan. It is not only exceptionally clean, but the pets are treated like they were the staff's own pets. All the dogs are allowed to run and play with each other everyday and the cats are allowed access to the shelter where ever they are safe. We consider human touch and exercise to be as important as good food and a clean environment.
For more information please call the shelter 906-643-7646 from 9-1

The Mackinac County Animal Shelter has a nonprofit group, Mackinac Animal Aid Association, raising money to help with the food, litter, medical, sterilizations, and adoption promotions. We are on the IAMS shelter food program which helps us afford to feed the cats and dogs a high quality diet. Our shelter manager wants them all fed one kind of food and one that does not produce more coming out than going in their systems. MAAA has provided all the funds for their vaccinations and any medical expense necessary for their care. If a pet needs extra surgery, perscriptions, or bandages, to help get them ready for a new home, then they raise the money necessary to get them on their paws and going.
Our next special event will be a weeklong cat adoption promotion for November 8-15. Too many kittens have required us to run a special $10.00 off the adoption fee in Memory of Jo Sommerville, a wonderful lady who died young and loved cat so very much. We hope to get a good turnout both for the additional savings, but also because Jo is so dearly remembered. As a rule, we don't offer a reduced price for our pets, but when over crowding is a possibility we want to try something to relieve the pressure. In the four years MAAA has helped the shelter, no adoptable pet has had to be put down. We define unadoptable as too neglected, too ill, or too aggressive (biting) to be saved. Our manager is a dog trainer and has helped save many that would not have been saved at other facilities.
Thank you for being an animal lover and for being part of the solution to an otherwise sad outcome for too many unwanted pets world wide.
