Ingham County Animal Control & Shelter is following Fear Free Sheltering standards. This program focuses on prioritizing animals experiences in the shelter to reduce things like stress, anxiety, and fear. Something's are obvious (reducing the sounds of loud abrupt noises) while some things are more subtle (limiting who is walking past cages). Please be patient with shelter staff as we try and make visiting and adopting from our shelter a great experience for you and your family, while protecting the animals on our care from anxiety.
