Whether unwanted by its previous owner or picked up as a stray and never claimed, each animal has suffered the fear and misery of being homeless. This is why the MCHS makes every effort to ensure that pets are placed only in good homes where they will be wanted, looked after, and loved for the rest of their lives. Adopters will allow for a minimum of 30 days as an adjustment period for the animal to adjust to his new environment and family. Animals will be placed with adults to be kept as companion animals. Adopters must be at least 18 years of age.
Identification is required to adopt any pet.
All adults living in the household must agree to the selection of the chosen pet. Adopted animals are to be accepted as family members, receiving proper nourishment, medical care and attention. Continuous outdoor confinement is not acceptable. Dogs may not sleep outside. All animals must be spayed or neutered.
