AuSable Valley Animal Shelter is a privately-funded Shelter!
THANK YOU for visiting our site, and for considering pet adoption!

The Animal Shelter of Crawford County (dba AuSable Valley Animal Shelter) is an IRS recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. In July of 2007, we moved into our brand new shelter, just a few miles north of Grayling, Michigan, adjacent to the fairgrounds. We continue to raise funds through various events and activities, but we really need monetary donations to the building fund to help pay off the $400,000 loan ASAP! (Yes, the project went over our original budget.) All donations are tax-deductible, as we are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and not a county funded agency. Donations may be sent to: AuSable Valley Animal Shelter, "Building Fund", P.O. Box 384, Grayling, MI 49738-0384.

Donations are also needed for daily operating expenses.

If you would like to help feed the animals, we accept donations of the following dog foods: Pedigree Adult Small Crunchy Bites and Purina Adult Dog Food in the green bag only. We also accept donations of Whiskas brand dry cat food and kitty litter. We try to keep all the animals on a steady diet of one brand of food to avoid digestive problems, so we prefer sticking with these brands. Donations of clean old blankets, pillows and towels are always welcome, as well as toys and treats for both cats and dogs. We accept return deposit beverage cans and bottles AND your Spartan UPC labels for redemption. The UPCs can be mailed to us at our P.O. Box address or dropped off at the shelter. Entrance is east off of Old US 27. We hope you will stop in and visit us soon! Hours are Monday through Saturday 10-3, Sunday 10 to noon. Phone is (989) 348-4117. THANK YOU!
