Who We Are

The Tuscola County Animal Control Shelter is dedicated to the welfare of the animals and safety of the citizens in Tuscola County. The Tuscola County Animal Shelter is located in a very rural area and consists of 12 dog kennels and 7 cat cages. We work very hard to place our animals, but unfortunately not all animals are placed and have to be humanely euthanized due to limited space and funding.

Adopting a friend

If you are interested in adopting a pet please fill out the adoption application listed below. The adoption application is required before you can adopt a pet. This is for you and your family’s benefit and our pet's benefit. The application tells us about the applicant and helps guide us in placing the correct animal in the right forever home. Once a COMPLETED application is received, a representative of TCACS will review your application. Incomplete applications will not be considered. TCACS reserves the right to refuse an application. By filling out an application, you are not obligated to adopt an animal from us and you are not guaranteed one of ours. It normally takes 2-10 days to process the application.
