Little Traverse Bay Humane

Each year, we care for 500-plus homeless animals at our shelter. The building has radiant heat for warm, dry floors and a high efficient ventilation system. While in our care, dogs enjoy outdoor exercise in our kennels and play yards, where they can dig and run through the woods. Their indoor kennels are roomy and well lit.

Gayle Mroczkowski is a former hospital and non profit administrator who has lived in Petoskey for 14 years. During that time, she and her late husband, Tom, adopted a total of five dogs and one cat from LTBHS. In addition to currently serving as Vice-President of the LTBHS Board of Directors, Gayle is Vice-President of the Friends of the Petoskey Public Library.

You need to contact Animal Control at 911. The officer will either pick up the animal or direct you to take it to the stray center, which is the Bay Area Pet Resort. It is important that all found animals are taken to this facility to aid in the return with their owner. It is also important that this is done immediately.

The dogs at Little Traverse Bay Humane Society are eagerly awaiting their chance to join your family. All of our dogs are spayed or neutered and vaccinated. If you are interested in adoption, please fill out our adoption application. A hard copy of the application can be found here. We will review your application and contact you when it has been approved. Our cats are looking forward to joining your family. All of our cats are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and tested for Feline Leukemia.
