🌹 PUPPY FIONA 🌹

This sweet girl was found outside and brought to MACS, now she’s looking for a family to call her very own to teach her how to be the best dog she can be!

She is 12 weeks old, all puppy, and eager to learn! She’ll need help with potty training, basic manners and commands, and patience while learning all the things in the world that she hasn’t had experience with yet 🫶 She has mastered knowing how to play and loving on humans!

She can’t wait to see her family soon! Please share!

Thank you Pawtraits with Michelle for her adorable photos 💞

🏈 OSIRIS 🐾

We need your help! The shelter is no place for a puppy to learn and grow and our sweet Osiris has been with us for over 2 weeks and we can’t seem to figure out why, other than his perfect family hasn’t seen him yet. This cutie spent the afternoon hanging out with Alex Anzalone from the Detroit Lions and he is patiently waiting for a family to hangout with forever!

🖐️ Five months old
🤩 Knows how to sit and is working on potty training
👍 Has experience around other dogs and cats
🐾 Eager to learn
💞 Loves being pet and playing with people

How can you help? Share this post! We know his family is out there somewhere 🫶

🚨 HAPPY ADOPTIONS ALERT 🚨

When you adopt, you save more than one life. You save the one you are adding to your family and the one you just made space for us to help.

Sam, Kat, Hammy the Hamster, Nunu, Big Don, CC, Katie (not pictured), and Petunia (not pictured) all found a home to call forever this week and we couldn’t be more excited for them!

We normally only do cat and dog adoptions, sometimes though we have other types of animals in need and we do what we can to help them! Like our hamster friend pictured below, who found his forever dad❤️

Thank you to all of our adopters for choosing MACS to find your new family member 🫶

You may remember a few weeks ago we posted about a kitten we got in who was found on the side of the Lodge Freeway cold, hungry, and with facial injuries. We named him Peewee.

After our clinic team looked him over we sent him off to foster to heal and now he is ready to find his forever family!

UPDATE: ADOPTED!!

Meet our senior gal, Kat ✨

This special lady is 17 years young, and searching for a place she can call her forever home in her golden years. Kat was surrendered to MACS due to no fault of her own. Since she has been with MACS she has had a much needed dental cleaning, after being cleared by our vet team, she is now in search of a forever home.
Due to Kat's age and her background history of never living with other cats, dogs or kids we believe a home with no other animals or kids will fit her best as she transitions to a new fresh start at life. Preferably a quiet calm household where she gets extra wet food, lots of love and comfy beds for her to lounge around in. Don't let her age fool you though, she still has lots of love and s***k to give to her new humans.

Kat is located at PetSmart in Utica and looks forward to meeting you soon! To fill out an adoption application visit https://macsshelter.org/cat-application

Only $31 dollars.

That is how much our adoption fee will be for the next two (2) weeks. Why 2 weeks? The Lions won yesterdays game and won't play this Saturday or Sunday.

After the next football game (in 2 weeks) our adoption fees won't be reduced any longer. We will be asking for the regular adoption fee of $150 for the dogs and $60 for the cats over the age of 6 months old.

www.macsshelter.org/adoptions is where you can view the animals we have available for adoption.

Motivation Monday!

If you remember a few weeks ago we posted about a kitten we got in who was found on the side of the Lodge Freeway cold, hungry, and with facial injuries. We named him Peewee.

After our clinic team looked him over we sent him off to foster to heal and he’s been doing just that. Take a look!

Peewee has a check up appointment later this week, stay tuned for more progress updates!

Osiris on the right: after we told him he’s going to the adoption event tomorrow and hopefully they’ll be there 🥰

This handsome bundle of energy is Osiris! He is 4.5 months old and around 27lbs right now. He is a fun, active, s***ky puppy! He will need help learning how to be potty trained, walk properly on leash, and basic manners! He’s extremely eager to learn and can’t wait for a family to grow with. He has had experience in his past with cats and dogs and did well.

Osiris will be at our adoption event tomorrow at PetSmart in Troy from 11am-2:30pm! Stop by and see him and his adoptable friends. To fill out an adoption application visit: https://macsshelter.org/dog-application?dog_name=Osiris%20-%20A242778

Meet Schniffles and Cheeks! They are 10 week old brother and sister Shepherd/Husky mixed puppies who are officially ready for adoption! These two cuties have been in a foster home since we have gotten them to grow and learn how to be the best puppies they can be 💕

They are going to grow into medium/large dogs, need lots of brushing and grooming throughout their life, and activity and exercise to keep their brains active!
