Many cities within the metro Detroit area provide animal control services. To report a stray dog, please call your local animal control office or police department. If you find and begin to house a stray animal, Michigan law requires that you report it to the police department of the city in which you are holding the animal within 48 hours. In Wayne County, the Michigan Humane Society operates centers for animal care in Detroit and Westland. It is best to call the location in your area before bringing in a stray animal to determine if that is the appropriate place to take the animal, to give him or her the best chance to be found by his or her guardian.
