The Roscommon County Animal Shelter and Animal Control are dedicated to the care and humane treatment of all animals found stray, abandoned, or surrendered in Roscommon County. Our mission is to inspire compassion towards these animals as we also show compassion to those unable to care for them.

We encourage, through education, the importance of spaying and neutering all pets, vaccinating, and obtaining yearly licensing, not only for public safety, but also for the higher return rate of dogs at large. We strive to limit the use of euthanasia to instances when it is the humane course of action for sick or injured animals, or in cases of vicious, un-adoptable animals that may cause harm to the public community; striving for the best adoptable matches possible.

Our goal is to prevent animal neglect and cruelty as no animal should have to endure intentional harm at the hands of any human. We promise to be good stewards of public and donated funds, and use them towards bettering the life and well-being of the community and shelter pets.
