Adoption process

Finding Your Pet - Search for adoptable pets online at multcopets.org. If you are interested in adopting an available pet, fill out the Adoption Information form. MCAS staff will review the adoption application and contact you for a counseling session. Adoption Interview - Adoption applications will be processed in order of the time they are received. Please note: submitting an Adoption Information form for an animal is not a hold or reservation. Adoption Counselors will contact you to conduct a counseling session over the phone. We will make two (2) attempts to contact you at the phone number you provide on the Adoption Information form. If we are unable to make contact after two attempts, we will move to the next interested adopter. During the adoption interview, adoption counselors will review behavior and medical history of the animal with you, answer questions, and consult about the pet’s needs and transitioning into your home. If the adoption is approved, you will be able to pay adoption and licensing fees online.Adoption counselors will schedule a day and time for you to pick up your adopted pet. Picking Up Your Adopted Pet - When you arrive at the shelter front door, ring the buzzer for assistance. MCAS staff will welcome you to the adoption meet & greet room to pick up your pet and any medication or accessories.
