Check current pets first
Open the Adoptable Dogs or Adoptable Cats page. Pets appear as they become available, so check back if you do not find a match.
Start the application route
MAS says applications may be completed at the shelter during open hours, by phone at 906-864-7297, or through downloadable forms when available.

The dog application asks practical home questions, including whether you rent, landlord permission and whether the applicant is 18 or older.
Ask staff fit questions
Ask about behavior, energy, kids, cats, dogs, medical notes, food, training needs, vaccines and first-week setup.
Confirm the exact fee
Use the fee table above, but confirm before paying because event promotions or policy updates can change the final amount.
Leave with a care plan
Ask when to see a veterinarian, how to register the microchip, what food to continue, and how to transition the pet safely.
Lost or Found Pet in Menominee / Marinette Area

Animal Control Route: Menominee and Marinette Counties

| Situation | First route | Next route | What to prepare |
|---|---|---|---|

Surrendering a Pet: No Fee, But Waitlist and Forms Matter
MAS says surrender may not be the only option, and it points owners toward resources such as Rehome before surrendering.
No surrender fee
MAS says there is no fee to surrender a pet because surrendering can be a difficult decision.
Forms required
Fill out the correct surrender form, email it before bringing the pet in or print it and bring it with you.
Waitlist likely
MAS says cats and dogs operate on a surrender waitlist to stay within legal housing limits and reduce stress/disease risk.
| Surrender type | What MAS asks you to do | Bring with the pet |
|---|---|---|
| Cat surrender | Contact MAS ASAP, wait for intake timing, complete cat surrender form. | Medical records, possessions, toys, food or items that should stay with the cat. |
| Dog surrender | Use dog surrender waitlist, complete form and email before coming or bring it in. | Medical records, possessions, toys, food or items that should stay with the dog. |
| Unsure about surrender | Call MAS and ask about Rehome or alternatives. | Honest behavior, medical and household details. |
