MCACC is the nation’s second largest shelter. Sadly, we take in over 150 homeless animals every day! Volunteers provide care for our homeless animals from walking dogs to matching a family with their new kitten. It's easy to become a volunteer...

Fostering
Become an MCACC foster parent and save lives! Fostering is a temporary placement of our homeless animals which saves their life. We are always in need of people who want to open their homes and their hearts to our animals. Foster families care for:
- Puppies and Kitttens not yet old enough to be placed up for adoption.
- Dogs or cats recovering from medical or behavior issues.
Fostering requires a commitment of time and energy from all household members to care for and socialize the animals, but the love you'll get in return is well worth the work! Interested in fostering? Fill out the Foster Application and contact the coordinator of the shelter location you wish to foster from:
