Did you know? "Nanny Dog" is often in reference to Pit Bull breeds for their gentle and loyal behavior towards their family; especially the children. Despite their muscular build, most are gentle and have a strong desire to please their owners. In the late 19th and 20th centuries Pit Bull breeds were one of the most popular family dogs. With all of our adoptable dogs, we feel it is important to remember that training, socialization, and positive interactions between adults, children and other pets are essential for shaping the temperament of any breed of dog.

Meet Ducky! Just one of the Pit Bulls we have at the shelter. He is 2 years old, neutered, and up to date on vaccines. Although he needs a little work on his manners, he is showing a lot of promise. He loves to play and is eager to find a family of his own. If interested, please contact the shelter at 989-366-0260. We require a meet and greet with family members and other dogs in the household to ensure a positive adoption.

Shamu is a 2 year old Pitbull Mix available for adoption at Roscommon County Animal Shelter. He came in today and received his rabies vaccine, microchip and was neutered. Shamu is reserved and may be slow to warm up to, but he is one of the most gentle dogs we have seen from the shelter. Shamu is shy but once he gains your trust he is very sweet. If you're interested in providing a great home for this beautiful fella please contact the shelter!

Good Monday Morning everyone! Even the kitties don't want to get up!
