Celebrating 10 Years of Compassion
For the past decade, the Wayne County Dog Shelter has been a safe haven for thousands of lost, abandoned, and surrendered dogs in our community. Our mission has always been rooted in compassion – providing care, shelter, and second chances to every dog who walks through our doors.
Over the last 10 years, we’ve:
- Reunited countless dogs with their families
- Found loving forever homes for shelter dogs
- Offered vital medical care and rehabilitation
- Promoted responsible pet ownership, and community education
- Built a dedicated network of volunteers, fosters, and supporters
We’re now accepting 2026 sponsorships! Check out the levels and application details below.

Supporting Shelter Dogs
Strengthening Our Community
Your 2026 sponsorship helps fund two vital initiatives that ensure brighter futures for shelter dogs.
Medical Fund:
Providing essential and sometimes life-saving veterinary care
from routine vaccinations to critical surgeries – ensuring every dog is healthy and ready for adoption.
Capital Campaign:
Funding the purchase of a mobile spay/neuter and adoption trailer. This
trailer will stay onsite at the shelter, allowing every dog to be altered before adoption and expanding our ability to host adoption events throughout the community.
We offer a variety of sponsorship levels, each designed to recognize our valued partners while making a tangible difference in the lives of Wayne County’s shelter dogs.
