Ionia County Animal Shelter

Ionia County Animal Shelter This page is run by shelter staff. Any complaints need to be addressed via private messages. Check out our adoptable dogs and cats in our photo albums.

ANY INAPPROPRIATE COMMENTS WILL BE DELETED. THIS PAGE IS NOT TO DEBATE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES, ONLY TO ADVERTISE ANIMALS! Our hopes at this site are to help find more "forever" homes for the homeless pets the shelter houses. At this point we are using pictures of adoptable animals off the shelter's Petfinder page. Our hopes for the future are to be able to provide better pictures along with posti

ng the pictures of new incoming strays as well. Please understand that most animals are brought in as strays and there is no known history. It is best to bring your children to meet any potential adoption and required to bring currently owned dogs for a meet and greet with the dog you're looking to adopt. SHELTER LOCATION:

We are looking for designs that help represent the Ionia County Animal Shelter. Something that is unique to just us. We can think of looking no further then our own community. We give creative freedom to all, as long as it pertains to our animal shelter. We intake mostly dogs and cats, but also deal with any domestic animal. We would like to avoid AI designs as we are looking for a more hands on and personal logo to our shelter and community. AI as inspiration is fine, but we will not be choosing an obviously AI generated design.

Submission deadline is May 30th. You may submit more than one. All submissions must be in svg, jpg or png format with a transparent background.

Lola ❤️

Lola is a very sweet girl that is looking for a home.

She had quite a sad life. She lived outside and was used for breeding her whole life. 😔
Now that she is 8, she is no longer a breeding prospect.

Lola is a well mannered girl. She’s friendly to all. She’s good with kids and most dogs. She would do best without cats.

Come see her!

Just a few of our pups that would love to go home with you!!!New dogs will be posted later today!❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰
