Meet our bonded pair Versace and Armani ❤

They are very adorable, 5 year old, Neutered Male Persians. Their regal name lives up to the breed in all the best ways! They are calm boys and they are a bonded pair, which means they need to be adopted together. Their new human should be knowledgeable of the Persian breed and all the maintenance they require, like routine grooming every 5-6 weeks to keep a nice, healthy coat.

These friends have always lived with each other, but never other cats. They have never lived with a dog, and during their stay at the shelter staff noticed the barking dogs from the kennel area seems to cause them more stress, so a home free of dogs will be best. With kids, they did previously live with them and did fine if they are calm and respectful of their boundaries.

If you are a Persian lover and have the knowledge and time for these handsome men , apply to adopt them today! They are being house at PetSmart Bloomfield Hills.

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a new home to go
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
You come to look for a queen
Anybody could be that dog
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of dog music
Everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
Come down to MACS!

Cassie wants to go home like her siblings! She’s a dancing queen, young and sweet, only 12 weeks old and she will continue to grow!

Come see her tomorrow at Pet Supplies Plus in St. Clair Shores from 11am-2:30pm! Fill out your adoption application online at https://macsshelter.org/dog-application

Last week we received a puppy into MACS who was dehydrated, underweight, and had a pr*****ed re**um. Meet our fighter, DeWayne.

After two different surgeries at MACS clinic to fix his prolapse, some much needed love and nutrition, he was cleared to leave for a foster home and he’s been continuing to blossom!

In foster, he’s spending his days with his foster family that includes 3 children who have been spoiling him with all of the love, play time, and affection. Plus dogs, cats, and chickens! He’s been enjoying getting spoiled and looks forward to finding his forever family to be spoiled by forever.

Animals like DeWayne come into our care all throughout the year who need extra critical care before being ready for adoption. Consider making a donation today to help support the countless animals we will continue to help on our website or with the donate button below: https://macsshelter.org/donate

Stay tuned for adoption updates! In the meantime if you are interested in adopting DeWayne please start by filling out an adoption application on our website and our adoptions coordinator will reach out to you https://macsshelter.org/dog-application ❤️

UPDATE: Wow! The response for sweet Dekota since we posted him on social media has been overwhelmingly wonderful! We have had many inquiries and adoption applications that have been flowing in ever since and we are confident one of these many applications will be the right fit! Check back soon to hopefully see an adoption photo ❤

Hold on to your seats world, I'm the sweetest, friendliest, most playful, mellow, and gentle pooch you'll ever meet!

I'm Dekota! I am 2 years old and ready for my life ahead. I heard my previous owner say something about 'landlord issues' and 'no time', so here I am, at MACS, just chillin'. I'm housebroken, great on a leash taking walks, love to play, and I've got a heart full of love to give. So, how about it? Want to be my forever best friend?

Meet the handsome Mingle 💕

He was surrendered to the shelter due to no fault of his own and now he is ready for his furever home where he will get lots of treats, toys, love, and windows to watch the world from the safety of indoors. His friend that he was surrendered with him just went home with a new family and he’s patiently waiting for the same!

I was hanging out upstairs today with a staff member at MACS and he told me the best news, I am now up for adoption to find my new family!

I’m Charlie! Let’s get the basics out of the way: I am 3 years young, neutered, might be a Jack Russell mix (29lbs), heartworm negative, microchipped, and up to date on age appropriate vaccines.

I get along with other calm dogs per my previous owner, however one thing I know for sure is I’m not a fan of kids. My future home will be best suited without any kids living or visiting me. I prefer the adult life!

The shelter life is loud and scary for me. If you have a calm, quiet home where I can spend the time to get to know my new humans and go on adventures, apply to adopt me today at https://macsshelter.org/dog-application

In the shelter ——> Out of the shelter

Being a dog (or cat) in a shelter environment is hard and stressful. Imagine coming into a brand new place, you hear barking, smell a trillion different smells, you see all new people that you don’t know, and you watch everything that is familiar to you go away.

Pictured below is the same dog in 2 different environments. On the left is Rosco in his kennel at the shelter and on the right is Rosco enjoying his doggy day out adventure at K9 Turbo Training. Do you see the difference it makes?

Interested in giving our shelter dogs a doggy day adventure out? Start by filling out our volunteer application https://macsshelter.org/volunteering
