Adopt a pet in Iron River, Michigan

Thank you for your interest in adopting a pet from Northwoods Animal Shelter

By choosing to adopt from a shelter, you're giving a second chance to an animal in need and providing them with a loving forever home. Each adoption not only changes the life of the animal being adopted but also creates space in our shelter to rescue and care for another animal in need!

Our dedicated staff works with potential adopters to find the perfect match based on lifestyle, preferences, and the individual needs of both the adopter and the animal. We conduct behavioral evaluations to assess each animal's temperament and suitability for different types of homes, helping to ensure successful adoptions.

Please note that you must be 19+ with a valid driver's license to adopt from NAS. A copy of your drivers license will be made at the time of adoption.

After viewing our available animals for adoption, submit an application to be considered for animal adoption.

Our team will contact you upon approval to schedule a visitation.
