Dogs should never be left unattended in a yard. Chaining is not acceptable. Dogs will not be placed in homes where they will be allowed to run at large. A MCHS representative may visit your residence to confirm proper confinement requirements. All cats must be kept as indoor pets.
Cats live longer, safer, happier and healthier lives when kept indoors with their human companions.
Animals cannot be adopted as gifts. All animals must have collars with owner identification tags, rabies and license tags. If your animal is lost, a tag may be the only way to have your pet returned to you. All animals must be examined by a veterinarian within five days of adoption. In the event an animal is sick at the time of adoption, you may be required to see a veterinarian immediately.
