📣 Saturday night update:
FOSTERS STILL NEEDED!
We are still experiencing AC issues, but all animals in our care are safe and staying cool.
Thanks to our community, 28 dogs went into foster today! But intake doesn’t stop - 36 animals came through our doors today alone.
We could really use a few more fosters to help keep our numbers down while repairs are underway. If you can foster for just a few days, please reach out!
*Our staff is working hard to approve all new applications and respond to all emails; we appreciate your patience!*
____________________
🚨 UPDATE: We have now lost AC in a second dog room. The county is actively working to fix the situation but we CRITICALLY need fosters. Can you keep a dog for a few days? PLEASE email [email protected] if you can help! We will be doing pickups on Sunday as well. 🚨
The AC is out in one of our dog rooms and we need your help!!
☀️ Homes for the Heat Wave Needed☀️
We’re asking our community to help us empty 30 kennels and get up to 60 dogs into foster homes this weekend.
Opening your home as a Heat Wave Foster makes an immediate impact. It gives a dog a comfortable place to spend a few days while also creating desperately needed space inside the shelter.
Why heat wave fostering matters:
• Emptying 30 kennels gives us flexibility while one of our rooms is without AC
• Fewer dogs in the building means less crowding and stress for everyone
• Every dog who leaves opens space for another animal who needs us
• And, obviously, a couch beats a kennel any day of the week
This is also a GREAT short-term opportunity if you’ve thought about fostering but weren’t sure where to start. It’s temporary, supplies are provided while they last, and our team is here to support you. If it’s going well, you’re always welcome to keep your foster longer!
🩷 Pick-up: Saturday 8/29 11:30AM - 4PM (BY APPOINTMENT ONLY)
🩵 Return: Friday 9/4
📦 Crates, food, collars and leashes provided while available
Pickup is by appointment only.
If you are a current MCAS foster, you must email first.
If you are not an MCAS foster, you must submit an application first. DO NOT JUST SHOW UP AT THE SHELTER!

A few days in your home can help us accomplish something HUGE: 30 empty kennels. 60 dogs out of the shelter. If you’re able to help, now is the time.
