What Local Animal Shelter Support Inc does
Mission
L.A.S.S.I. Local Animal Shelter Support Inc. is a Michigan Non-Profit public charity dedicated to supporting Oceana County Animal Control in the care and adoption of abandoned abused and neglected companion animals that reside at the Oceana County Animal Shelter in Oceana County MI.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
LASSIs primary annual service to Oceana County residents involves offering emergency and regular medical assistance to all dogs and cats at the Oceana County Animal Shelter that require veterinary attention. Many potential adopters cannot afford crucial medical treatments like heartworm eradication or fractured limb repair. Stray or surrendered animals often require basic care for issues like ear infections minor wounds or tooth extractions. While the Oceana County government offers what it can certain veterinary procedures and medications exceed its budget. LASSI steps in to provide additional care that surpasses the countys financial capacity. In 2025 the Oceana County Animal Shelter took in 590 animals in a county with a population of approximately 27,000 citizens. LASSIs veterinary care program helps all dogs cats and citizens in the county by serving as a safety net for animals that come through the shelter and the people who care so much about them.
$30,483 spent50% of program spendingThe most effective method of addressing pet overpopulation is altering intact cats and dogs spay neuter. LASSI supports Oceana County Animal Controls existing spay neuter assistance program for shelter animals by providing discounts of $25-$50 per animal as soon as the countys spay neuter assistance funds are depleted each year. This ensures that every animal in the shelter needing alteration receives aid.
