In 1972 the Michigan Legislature gave authority to counties to facilitate a County-wide Animal Control Agency. The Department's main responsibility is to enforce the Dog Law Act, which includes;

• licensing;
• inspecting kennels;
• investigating loose animals;
• investigating animal bites and neglect;
• handling of lost and found pets;
• responding to complaint calls about animals running-at-large;
• facilitating adoption;
• conducting dog census;
• maintaining the shelter.
