OUR ANIMAL SHELTER'S MISSION & VISION
Explore Our Services Get in Touch

At Marshall County Animal Shelter, our mission is simple but powerful—to prevent the overpopulation of dogs and cats in our community through education and accessible services. Partnering with the Marshall County Animal Rescue League and the Marshall County Commission, we provide a haven for stray, unwanted, or homeless animals. Our shelter is a safe and clean environment where pets can temporarily stay while awaiting their forever homes. We’re committed to promoting responsible pet ownership through education and offering essential services such as spay and neuter programs.


Beyond adoption, we also run the Tiffany Dlesk Spay/Neuter Clinic to offer affordable sterilization services to the local community. This helps reduce pet overpopulation and prevents the spread of animal-borne diseases. Our adoption program includes health screenings, vaccinations, and mandatory spaying or neutering, ensuring that every pet placed in a new home is ready for a healthy and joyful life. Together, we strive to create a compassionate community where every animal is cared for, and responsible pet ownership is a priority.
