About Us

The Royal Oak Animal Shelter is operated as a City service under management of the Royal Oak Police Department. Our goals are to reunite lost animals with their human companions, to provide a safe haven for lost animals or animals given up by their owners, and to arrange the best possible adoptions of available animals into the homes best suited to their personalities. 

To report a stray dog, please call Animal Control (248) 824-5952 or ROPD non-emergency at (248) 246-3500.  Please Note: If you suspect an animal is being abused or neglected, contact Animal Control or ROPD.
