Since I moved to the area in 2008, I've worked at a local hardware store. January 2021, I felt it was a good time for a change, and when I saw Roscommon County Animal Control was hiring, I jumped at the opportunity. I've always had a soft spot for animals, and now I get to be a part of making sure that they are well taken care of in our community.

I've lived in Roscommon County for most of my life. As a kid we had an assortment of pets, and I've always had a soft spot for them. Although I've only been with the shelter for a short time, I love taking care of these animals that need a second chance finding a forever home.

She began working at the shelter...

My parents gave me my first kitten when I was just a newborn, so I suppose you could say I've always been a "cat person." I consider myself blessed to have known and loved many cats in my lifetime.

Cats are eccentric little gremlins, each with their own unique language, quirks and preferences. I consider it to be my job at the shelter to love and care for every animal as if...

My name is Stephanie and I have been working here at RCAS for six years as shelter staff and Weekend Supervisor.

I love working at the shelter! My job includes greeting the public, answering the phones, and handling the paperwork and recordkeeping that comes with the territory. But I also help do laundry and dishes, mop, and clean kennels and cages, too. It’s all hands on deck on this hardworking team of compassionate kennel workers and Animal Control Officers...
