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 the rescue community.

Are you ready, willing, and able to provide a safe, loving, and forever home for a dog from the pound?

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.

Responsibilities of a Dog Foster Parent

To ensure our rescue dogs get the best care, fosters must be able to:

  • Daily Care: Feed the dog twice a day and provide daily exercise, playtime, and affection.

  • Medical Needs: Administer oral medications/supplies and bring the dog for a final check-up at our partner vet in Quezon City.

  • Updates: Keep the dog safe, loved, and complete online foster updates.

 
What Support Does Help MAS Dogs (HMD) Provide?

We set you up for success! HMD provides foster parents with:

  • All necessary medical supplies, vitamins, and supplements.

  • A foster care loot bag (starter dry food, leash, collar, bowl, and shampoo).

  • Full coverage for follow-up check-ups, labs, and emergency consultations at our partner clinic, Pendragon Veterinary Clinic.
