Our Story

The Dexter Animal Shelter is an extension of the Dexter Police Department. They're responsible for taking dogs off the street and providing them a temporary home at the shelter. There are always new dogs coming into our facility! We believe in Second Chances and when I took over I decided we were going to be a NO KILL SHELTER. The Shelter is primarily ran off of Volunteer Help and Donations from the Public. We are not perfect but we strive to find our animals good loving homes. So Adoptions and Fostering our animals to good homes is our priority.
