🗣 UPDATE 🗣

Good Morning. Just wanted to provide an update to this post. Unfortunately as of this morning none of the owners of these pets have come forward. ☹️ They are all still being held at Animal Control. In accordance with Michigan state law, legal stray hold of a dog without any trace of ownership (license, microchip or ID tag) is no less than a period of 4 business days. Pets with ownership information are held for no less than 7 business days. Any animal that is not reclaimed within its legal hold time becomes the property of Macomb County. The white husky (her name is Katana) is the only one with a chip. Once their hold time is up they will each be assessed and then put up on our website for adoption (likely sometime next week). If you are interested in one of these pups, or would like to view all of our adoptable pets you can find them here: https://www.macombgov.org/departments/animal-control/adoptions . Thank you for all of your interest and shares. 💕

🚨 PLEASE HELP US GET HOME 🚨

We have taken in several dogs this week who are really missing their families. 😢 We need your help to reunite them with their owners!

If any of these pups look familiar to you please reach out to us or to their owner and have them contact us right away!

Please share this post to help spread the word! Every share increases the chances of these pets finding their way back home!

Just a friendly reminder to check all of your gates and entryways into your yards today after the storms last night. Please make sure that nothing has become unlatched or opened where your pet could potentially escape your yard.

In the event your pet does get away from you, a listing of stray animals being held by Macomb County Animal Control is automatically uploaded on https://24petconnect.com/

Lost pets can be reclaimed during regular business hours 10-4 at 21417 Dunham Road Clinton Township 48036. Proper proof of ownership is required in order for us to release the animal into your care.

Another great resource for lost and found pets is For the Love of Louie *Michigan Lost Pet Lookers* and your neighborhood Nextdoor app found on Facebook.

Yesterday MCAC had a great time participating alongside Macomb County Law Enforcement agencies at the National Night out 2024 at Freedom Hill County Park. We handed out over 50 “doggie swag bags”🐶 and were able to share information about our upcoming free vaccine clinic on September 21 and our community resource programs. It was great to meet so many of our supportive community members and look forward to more events like this in the future! 😊

Yesterday Shorty, Sunny, Gus, Shandy and Sundae got to take a break from the shelter and attend the Macomb County HealthStyles Employee Health Fair! There was no shortage of tail wags and belly rubs as these adorable pups greeted all of the attendees. We were honored to be asked to participate and cannot wait until next year! 🐶

Pets have an incredible impact on our physical and mental health. Not only do they encourage us to stay active with daily walks and playtime, but they also provide constant companionship, reducing feelings of loneliness and stress. Everyone including Mark Hackel fell in love with their sweet faces, and we are hoping the adoption applications for these cuties start coming in! 💕

Come and meet Shorty, Sunny, Gus, Shandy, Sundae and all of their adoptable friends Monday-Friday 10-4 at 21417 Dunham Rd Clinton Township 48036.

❤️‍🩹 OHANA MEANS FAMILY, FAMILY MEANS NOBODY GETS LEFT BEHIND OR FORGOTTEN! ❤️‍🩹

Affectionately named, "Ohana", is a stray that was picked up on Thursday after being seen having a heatstroke🥵. Stumbling around, collapsed, panting heavily, and having two seizures was her condition when the finder called Macomb County Animal Control😭.

Our Deputy rushed Ohana to the emergency vet for emergency medical treatment. Unfortunately, the veterinarian also discovered Ohana is parvo positive as well😭. Parvo is a deadly virus🥺. Sadly, Ohana has no interest in eating and continues to not feel well💔. Ohana requires a feeding tube placed and further treatment to give her the best chance at fighting🫶.

Ohana is still on stray hold and while we continue to search for her owner she is fighting for her life. We, at MCAC, love all the animals that enter our care❤️. These beautiful souls become family to us, so it was natural we name this beautiful girl, Ohana🌺.

It's important to note the emergency treatments for any animal is not provided for by tax payer dollars, it solely provided for by donations. Please consider donating towards her medical care 🙏.

🚨 Escape Artist Alert 🚨

Dogs and cats aren’t the only animals that find themselves at the shelter when they wander away from home!

This is Shredder the tortoise! He escaped from his home last night when his owner was giving him a bath! 🫧 Luckily, after a slow-speed chase he was picked up by Animal Control and brought in to safety!

Shredder’s owner saw a post on Facebook that he was here and they were reunited this morning! 👏🏻

It’s not everyday you see a tortoise on the run!! We are happy Shredder is now home safe. 😊🐢
