Pets for Vets
Woodhaven and Trenton Animal Control has a program to help our veterans, Pets for Vets. It is the goal of the shelter to assist returning veterans with their transition to civilian life. There are studies that show that veterans returning from service suffer from many side-affects including PTSD and depression. Pets can help in many ways both physically and mentally. The shelter has an application that is to be completed by the returning vet which is kept on file until the perfect match between Vet and Pet is made. The animal will be spayed or neutered, up to date on shots and tested. Information for WOOFHAVEN Dog Park will also be included in the adoption packet. Basil's Buddies will also give the new adopter information about the low-cost food bank that is run out of the shelter. If you are a Veteran or may know of one interested in bringing a new member into the family, call the shelter at 734-675-4956 and speak to Animal Control Officer Laura Jensen.
Adoptions
Individuals can adopt dogs, cats and other small animals (when available) during any posted hours. Adoption fees are $100.00. Your new pet will have a Health Record.
For all animals that are unable to be unaltered at the time of adoption, a $50.00 deposit fee will be charged. The adopter will have 30 days to alter the new pet. Once this is completed, the $50.00 deposit fee will be refunded. Michigan State Law requires all animals adopted from Animal Shelter and Rescue Groups to be spayed or neutered.
