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.

After working almost six years as a Certified Nursing Assistant, I changed careers to do what I've always dreamed of, which is working with animals. Ever since I was young, I knew I always wanted to help animals. It didn't matter how...

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.

Cheyanne has been passionate about animals for most of her life. While far too squeamish to make it as a vet, she found her calling in rescuing, fostering, and placing kittens during her time in Florida. unable to continue when she moved to Michigan, she still wanted to find a way to help and work with animals. 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.

I have a love and passion for the animals here at the shelter, but have an extreme passion for Pitbulls because they are the most misunderstood.

I am proud to be a third generation (of five generations) to be living in Roscommon County. As a previous business owner/operator of Scottie's House of Hairstyles, I changed careers after twenty-four years and found myself as a kennel worker/Animal Control Officer in training for the Roscommon County Animal Shelter due to my love of animals...

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...

I have been employed as an Animal Control Officer for Roscommon County since approximately 2003. I grew up in Algonac, Michigan and moved to the Roscommon area in 2000. At that time, I started as a volunteer at the shelter on my days off. When a part time position opened , I applied and was hired. From that point, I worked up to my current position...
