Howdy! My name is Lizz and I have been the happiest pup parent to Onyx, the sweetest 11yr old lab around! I am an avid bicyclist, and hiker. I can hardly wait to meet your best friend and give them the same level of care I provide my own.

Dog Boarding in Sault Ste. Marie

Sault Ste. Marie, located in Michigan's upper peninsula, is famous for the Soo Locks - joining Lake Superior and Lake Huron. The area is home to the Chippewa County Animal Shelter, located on South Macinac Trail. The Friends of Caring Animal Shelters (FOCAS) is a local non-profit that provides fundraising and volunteer supporters to the animal shelter. The shelter provides for the animals in the area who are lost, abandoned and in need of adoption. Their programs include neuter and spay services.

Community members can work with the shelter to locate a lost pet. They maintain a list of lost loved ones and work with local agencies to bring your Rover home.

Do you like to play with your pooch? The shelter has a program in which you may apply to play at the dog park! Keep your Beagle Legal by getting a license. The animal shelter will help you to be current with rabies vaccinations and licensing requirements in Michigan. The fees charged by the shelter are nominal.

Committed to making pawsitive changes, the shelter is reviewed as caring and providing a quality service to the community. Fundraising events have included partnerships with businesses and fun photos with Santa-Paws. Their donation wish list includes usual needs like dog food but also has some surprises for shelter pets like peanut butter!
