Alger County Animal Shelter

Please join us in saving the animals of Alger County by making a contribution toward our new building. After countless months of fighting our County to allow us to continue rescuing animals in our current facility while maintaining our no-kill status, we are heartbroken to share that our days in our current facility are numbered. After generously having received a piece of land to build our new facility on, we are beginning construction! Our next step: raise enough funds to see the process through. We are anticipating at least $80k in costs for this project. For those able to donate $500 or more, we will permanently acknowledge the generosity by hanging a plaque of sponsorship in the new building. There is no such thing as a donation too small.

About us - we are are located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and we have a strict no-kill policy. All of the animals that enter our shelter are treated with veterinary care and then placed into loving homes. We serve the animals within our county but we also aid in helping shelters outside of our county, kennel availability permitting, in order to relieve the stress of the local shelters who are at maximum capacity, as most are these days. Currently, we are housing numerous dogs and cats, and in 2023, we saw over 150 animals enter into our shelter, all while achieving a 100% no-kill status.

If you'd like to stay up to date with us, please follow us on Facebook.

Thank you for considering a donation to Alger County Animal Shelter. Our animals couldn't be more thankful for a warm bed to sleep in and full tummies.

This is Buddy. Buddy came to our Shelter very emancipated and just wanting love and to be cared for. Buddy made it through the critical stage with constant care. Buddy is a shelter pup who has been living in a foster home. Buddy just wants to please his people. He recently became very ill, unable to eat and consistently vomiting. He went in for surgery for what was expected to be a tumor, but no tumor was found, just an inflamed pancreas. We have recently found out that our precious Buddy is now suffering from a severe form of Pancreatitis and needs immediate care to survive. Buddy has been through so much already and we want to help him. He is currently at the Blue Pearl Animal Pet Clinic in Appleton, Wisconsin, and is seeing a specialist. Every bit helps. PLEASE help us help Buddy.
