Our Mission

The Northwoods Animal Shelter wishes to inspire compassion and respect for homeless, abused, and neglected animals while stressing the importance of spaying and neutering and to find a permanent, loving home for each animal.

The Northwoods Animal Shelter, a non-profit corporation supported by and committed to the community of Iron County, Michigan, shall operate and maintain an Animal Shelter Complex which offers a safe refuge where basic needs are met and limited medical care is provided for surrendered, stray and neglected animals.

As part of our ongoing commitment to humane animal treatment, we shall promote community awareness regarding responsible pet ownership in a courteous, professional, and compassionate manner.
