Adopting a MAS Dog
Choosing to adopt a rescue is more than just finding a new companion; it is a profound act of compassion that has a direct, life-saving impact.
When you adopt a dog from MAS, you aren't just saving one life—you are saving two. MAS always operates at maximum capacity. By choosing to adopt, you immediately provide a loving home for a dog in need, while simultaneously freeing up crucial space and resources for another vulnerable animal to take their place. Your single act of kindness creates a ripple effect throughout animals in need.
Are you ready, willing, and able to provide a safe, loving, and forever home for a dog from the pound?

HOME CHECK
Allow a quick tour of certain areas of your home just so we can ensure living environment is safe, escape-proof and well-equipped for your intended dog.
This may be done onsite or online (video call, Google Meet, Zoom) depending on availability of volunteers.
Not ready to adopt?
Try fostering.
Fostering
If you’re not ready for full dog adoption yet, consider becoming a foster parent.
When you foster a dog, you give a rescue animal a temporary, loving home, helping them heal physically and emotionally until they find a forever family. Dogs thrive much better in homes than in crowded kennels, and your care truly saves lives.
