Adoptions

Macomb County Animal Control hosts onsite adoptions during regular business hours. We house a wide variety of adoptable pets seeking loving furever homes.

Animals available for adoption can be viewed anytime on our Peftinder site. If you are considering adopting, it is important to meet a new pet in person. Our facility offers a special room that allows families to spend time bonding with a pet they are interested in adopting.

Applications can be submitted online by using our Adoption Application Form. Completion of this application does NOT guarantee adoption.
