The Benzie County Animal Control Office deals with complaints on dogs and livestock on a daily basis, enforcing all state and county animal care laws. The staff averages approximately 500 such complaints annually.

Animal Adoptions – During the course of an average year the Animal Control staff adopt out approximately 150 dogs and 120 cats. Persons who adopt an animal from the shelter are provided with a certificate which covers a percentage of any spay or neutering surgery. The Animal Welfare League of Benzie County sponsors this program. Animal adoptions are handled only via appointment with the Animal Welfare League, please contact them to make an appointment.
