Open Door, Open Arms Policy
A primary goal of the shelter is to work with individuals to find solutions to pet problems. We take all unwanted pets to prevent cruelty that might result from being "dumped" or placed hastily in the hands of an irresponsible person. Persons who find it necessary to surrender their pets are asked, when possible, to vaccinate for kennel cough at least one week before bringing them to the shelter. Any pet that has been adopted and does not work out in the new home should be returned to the Marshall County Animal Shelter. We feel responsibility for the pet's well-being and your satisfaction.
Individuals who bring animals from other counties are asked to pay an "out of county" fee of $10.00 per animal. Any individual who brings cats or kittens to the shelter will be asked to make a donation. Cats and kittens are not supported by tax dollars and therefore are the sole responsibility of the Humane Society.
