🐾 Shelter Myth Monday 🐾
MYTH: Pitbulls are naturally/inherently aggressive or vicious.
FACT: Aggression is a context-dependent, individual behavior influenced heavily by environment, socialization, and handling rather than a characteristic built into a dog's genetic breed profile.

The public stigma surrounding pitbulls (and some other breeds/mixes) directly drives their high population numbers in shelters. Because of these negative stereotypes, landlords, housing associations, and insurance companies frequently implement strict " breed restriction" lists that flatly ban bully breeds. Policies and rules like this force many responsible owners to surrender their beloved pets and prevents eager adopters from giving these dogs a home, leaving thousands of perfectly adoptable animals stuck in shelters simply because of their appearance.

THE NIGHT HE CAME HOME… 🏠🎃🔪

This Halloween, somebody's coming home with you. And no, it's not Michael Myers. It's someone much cuter who may or may not steal your snacks, hog the bed, and follow you into every room. We've got Shapes of all personalities who are ready to lurk outside your window (although ours move MUCH quicker than Big Mike).

It's officially Halloween, which means today is theLAST DAY of our special, spooky-low adoption fees!
Cats: $10
Dogs: $31

Stop by and see us today! We'll be open from 12-6 PM.

We’d like to wish a very happy retirement to Lisa Williams!
Lisa has been with MCAS since before it moved into its current location. Lisa, you’ve put your heart and soul into the animals for so long, and we hope you have the best retirement. You deserve this! Congratulations—you will be so, so missed!
Love,
Your friends and family at MCAS 🤍

It puts the treats in the basket and scratches the skin… or it gets the sad puppy eyes again. 🐑👀

TODAY AND TOMORROW, our reduced adoption fees for Halloween:
Cats: $10
Dogs: $31

We've got every personality under the flourescent-lit sun: criminal masterminds, rookie detectives, escape artists, and more. They're ready to love you so much that they'd climb inside your skin if they could.
Stop by MCAS today! We'll be open from 12-6 PM. Don't keep them waiting; the lambs are getting restless.

🐾 Fun Fact Friday 🐾

Fun fact: Puppies and senior dogs may dream more frequently than adult dogs.

Dogs experience REM sleep, the stage associated with vivid dreaming. Age and size may affect sleep patterns, and puppies' developing brains may contribute to their frequent twitching during sleep. Puppies spend more time in REM sleep because their brains are still developing, while older dogs may experience changes in their sleep patterns. So, if you see your pup twitching, kicking their paws, or making little noises in their sleep, they might just be chasing squirrels (or hunting cats) in their dreams!

🆘 IN NEED OF WET KITTEN FOOD 🆘

MCAS has had a ton of kittens come through recently, and we're completely out of wet/canned kitten food.
Please help if you can!

Thank you so, so much to Tim Blankenship and Grand Home Furnishings for their generous donation to help support our animals! You guys are the best! 💚

You'll float too... straight into the shelter to adopt your new best friend, I hope. 🎈
Okay, our pets are way less terrifying than Pennywise. Usually. Kinda. Some are a little sus sometimes. But, in their defense, this place is full of loud sounds and weird smells.
Don't forget: we have REDUCED ADOPTION FEES this week for Halloween!
Cats: $10 🐈‍⬛
Dogs: $31 🐕

Come meet the cuties lurking around our shelter! We promise they won't lure you into any sewer drains. Maybe. Probably not, at least.
As always, we'll be open from 12-6 PM. We hope you float through our doors today!
