If you see an adoptable dog on our website that you'd like to meet, the first step is to complete an online adoption application. The link to our adoption application can be found at www.mcdogs.net.

Planning a trip to Detroit Lake? Here's an important update for pet owners.

A precautionary advisory has been issued for Detroit Lake due to cyanotoxins. Current levels are considered safe for people, but they may still be harmful to pets.

If you're bringing your dog along, take a few extra precautions:
🐕 Keep dogs out of water that is foamy, scummy, or looks like spilled paint.
💧 Don't let them drink lake water or lick algae from rocks, the shoreline, or their fur.
🚿 Rinse your dog with clean water if they come into contact with a bloom.
🚨 Contact a veterinarian right away if your dog shows symptoms such as vomiting, weakness, drooling, or staggering.

We all want our summer adventures to end with happy memories and wagging
tails. Help keep your furry family members safe by knowing what to look for before
they jump in.

Adopt Ivy! Ivy has enjoyed weekend sleep overs with some of our volunteers and they all report that Ivy was the perfect house guest. They reported that she appears house trained and showed no destructive behaviors in the home. She enjoyed plenty of naps and monitoring as the smaller humans worked on homework. Ivy is the perfect size and a complete love!
