Animal Control

The Oceana County Animal Control Department is under the supervision of the County Administrator. Our responsibilities include dealing with cases of animal cruelty, animal abandonment, and animals running at large. We also offer pet adoption at our county shelter and provide licensing for kennels in the county.

Lost Pets

Please call us if you have lost your pet or have found a stray pet in the area. We keep a list of lost-and-found pets in order that we may help reunite lost pets with their owners. Although your pet may not be at our animal shelter, chances are good that someone has notified us of your lost pet and is keeping it safe and comfortable until the owner is found. Learn more about our lost and found pet process.

Follow the Oceana County Animal Shelter on Facebook for more information on current lost and found pets.
