“We're so excited to extend adoption hours so that all the ‘night howls’ in the county can find their dream pup,” said Communications Supervisor Kim Powell. “We understand it may be difficult to get here during a work week, so this will be a great opportunity to help potential adopters who can’t make our normal business hours find their forever friend--and then they can even spend the weekend together. Let’s make happy hour an adoption hour.”

MCACC had a live-release rate of 95% for the calendar year 2023.
