THE LATEST COVID-19 UPDATES AND MCACC

We have altered both our field and shelter operations to minimize human contact for residents while remaining committed to public safety and lifesaving during the COVID-19 pandemic. You can help us save lives while practicing social distancing. Read more at: Updates. Here’s a look at some of our changes:

Only our West Shelter is open. East Shelter is temporarily closed.

Adoptions and fosters: Visit our adoption page for details and to sign up for an appointment! Our regular adoption hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekends at the West Valley animal shelter. We are offering special adoption event at our East shelter. Visit our adoption page for details.  We are utilizing appointment-only adoptions through online signups and a revamped adoption web page during the health crisis.
