THE LATEST COVID-19 UPDATES AND MCACC: We’ve made some temporary changes to protect our community and staff during the pandemic so we can continue to provide for the dogs and cats who need us most during this difficult time. Here’s an update on where we stand as of April 5:

• In addition to adoptions and fosters, in-person services have been reduced to return to owners, stray dog intakes, stray dog bite intakes and stray cat bite intakes.
